BlogI have Robotics this semester, and today we finished up painting the board, adding the safety screen, and building a door. The goal is to have a simulated paint mixing robot. I built the paint dispensers and have all the "points" the robot will have to hit to dispense the paint. I managed to get some programming done, and felt pretty good about our progress till the lab proctor told us we only have one more week left (whoops). Oh well, at least it was fun up to this point.
Today I was eating lunch with
Duane and he showed me his
Jolly Rancher Jello. A very personal experience. As he spooned some out, two antennae clung to the plastic container for dear life. He started sucking it down suggestively and then began to laugh uncontrollably (If you watch any commercials, you know Jello has that effect). In mid laugh he vomited it up into a plastic bag (appearance unchanged). My decision to never purchase Jolly Rancher Jello was once again proven to be the right choice.
Go to your local grocery store and look for "Instant Pistachio Pudding." It's 93¢ or less and worth every penny. I go through almost one a week now I'm so hooked on the stuff.
Today at work I recieved a call about an "urgent change to the internet regarding my domain name." When I asked her what the change was, she wanted my fax number. I played dumb and said I didn't have one and she offered up a 800 number. She then said their email was down which is why she couldn't email me the message. I didn't bother asking her why she couldn't just TELL ME ON THE PHONE and told her I'd leave her "urgent information" as a mystery. Naturally I searched google after I got off the phone and found
this article. Apparently they are trying to mislead people into purchasing .info, .biz, and .tv domains. What's more the only way she could of snagged my work # is if they were going through domain registry contacts and cold calling. Not a very respectable company. If you get a similar call, have some fun with them.
This website now features a MySQL Database which is faster and more reliable than MS Access. All database dependent features will be gradually transitioning over to MySQL.
ITAE Forums have already experienced a 160% speed increase using the new database.
More information on MySQLOn July 11 from 9:30am to 4:00pm the DNS entry for the server was broken. Apparently the routine on my router that updates on IP changes went into a loop and updated the same IP repeatedly. This caused the DNS service to delete the hostname as part of the anti-abuse policy. I now have a copy of the current IP sent to me via email in case this happens again so I can recover quickly. I am also monitoring the router for any abnormal activity.
