Have you ever stopped and thought how you react to possible situations in your life?
You think of the type of person you want to be and “do the right thing”.
Have you ever found yourself actually living out that situation and doing the exact thing that you thought you would never do because you never wanted to become the bad / stupid / insensitive / idiotic one?
Well I did. Tonight especially. And I’m sorry to you. There have been other days too arising from basically thinking too much or having insecurities. You’d think that at an age of 24 going 25 (soon) you think some things would be more or less settled. But no. In times like these you think to yourself perhaps it would have been better off if I hadn’t experienced this but on the other hand without this experience you would not know how to guide / help those facing the same problem. Then also how can you think about helping others when you can barely even help yourself.
I have the same question resounding in my head.
“Do you do what you say you believe?”
Because what we say and what we do can be totally mutually exclusive. Something to chew on in my coming December, my month of rest. For remember God ordained rest thus it is our right and, sometimes for people like me, responsibility to rest.

Considering I want something to record audio for church and that I want to migrate away from my Tungsten E2 ,thats used mainly for audio playing in the car, this little guy has grabbed a heck of alot of my attention (since last night). It’s manual can be downloaded from the iriver website which is a nice touch on iriver’s part and my only complaint is the battery life as stated on the iriver ‘Overview’ page and the ‘Spec’ page:
Overview page:
Music : Plays up to 22 hours/Video : Plays up to 6 hours
Spec page:
Continuous Playback Time(Audio) – Approx. 9 hours(mp3, 128kbps, MP3, EQ Normal)
Thank goodness the manual confirms the values on the Overview page.
QQeStore is selling it for $258! Sweet. Linux supporting, OGG playing, video enabled, direct line-in recording, non-Apple player.
Ok time to calm down and rationalize my thoughts….

Thursday: threw out my back
Friday: gingerly getting about with my back pain
Saturday: slight sore throat + cough
Sunday: fever and bad sore throat that kept me in bed the WHOLE day
Monday: SUPER bad sore throat
Tuesday: Uncomfortable back, blocked ears
Wednesday: Stiff neck on both sides.. Elbow pain
Whoa its been a week of pain and rest needs to be found. And the ‘start’ of the torrent of work for November is about to begin. Work deployment starts tomorrow and then things will get hectic for work. Preparation on for last day of KOOL (25th) and rededication service (30th). Oh yeah supposedly I’m getting married this month too (mom’s friend apparently told my mom that I’m getting married this month). Wonder what preparations need to be done for that. If anybody care till me when it is and more importantly who I’m marrying do tell. Thanks.

I am annoyed at Bluetooth and how it was hyped to be this great seamless wireless communication channel. How it ended up coming too late and having really bad pairing implementation and now my phone won’t connect to my laptop. It used to be paired, it used to work, but now no luck. Tried to repair the phone and it just says communication failure. And just as I say that Murphy and his famous law takes place and it’s working….
Well I guess thats technology: its all so logical yet illogical

While clearing my feeds I found a post regarding the iPod with video and connecting it to a TV. After hearing of the iPod TV Out lockout, where the new iPod classic and nano (the fatty) can no longer output video without a US$49 cable as opposed to a regular cheap video cable (US$5), I was curious. Despite finding out that the post was about the older iPod with video which, is clearly stated in the title (my be the lack of sleep), I did find out something interesting. If you follow the link HOW-TO: Cheaply watch iPod videos on your TV you will read the following
2. Plugging the AV cable into the TV
You’re probably thinking that you don’t need help doing this one. Well let me tell you, you do. Since Apple wants you to buy their proprietary cable, they decided to be sneaky. They send the video over the Red RCA cable (usually yellow). Therefore, they send the audio over the white and yellow cables. Oh you’re so tricky Apple, whatever will we do? In easier words, do the following:
Red RCA plug -> TV’s yellow RCA jack
Yellow RCA plug -> TV’s white RCA jack
White RCA plug -> TV’s red RCA jack
A standard RCA output but non-standard function. Just another example of the Apple lock-in for those who try putting a regular cable find out it doesn’t work properly and do not know better and end up buying a ‘specialized’ cable.
Anyway I took a look at the Leopard Guided Tour and there are some interesting and cool things being introduced (Quick Look, iChat screen sharing and Time Machine). Strange enough there was a good discussion on Windows Weekly 38. With Windows Vista still being introduced (to me, due to the slow uptake), the recent release of Ubuntu 7.10 last week and the soon to be released Leopard (tomorrow) there really is a 3 way OS battle that I hope to give a few thoughts about in a later post.

In my search of being lazy and wanting to blog I stumbled upon ScribeFire which is a Firefox extension/add-on.
Features that I love:
I highly suggest it as if you use Firefox it’s just a simple add-on and doesn’t require installation of a separate application while providing good and simple blogging tools. Only downside is that there doesn’t seem to be much information of on the features it provides on the ScribeFire website.
