0x2D0 - Relocated

2006-06-03T22:16:00.000-07:00

The kinks have finally been worked out of my new site, I think, so if you'd update your bookmarks in your browser or your head to jordan.hofker.org, you'll be able to see future posts.

0x2D9 - Hodgepodge

2006-05-26T11:59:00.001-07:00

Here's some Javascript to fade any element on a page from one color to another in a given number of steps. Just give it the element's id! The recursive idea came from javascript.internet.com, and the base idea came from a site I can't remember right now.

function makearray(n)
{
this.length = n;

for(var i = 1; i <= n; i++)
this[i] = 0;

return this;
}
var thing;
var j = 0;
var steps = 0;

var sr = 255;
var sg = 255;
var sb = 255;

var er = 255;
var eg = 255;
var eb = 255;

hexa = new makearray(16);

for(var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
hexa[i] = i;

hexa[10]="a";
hexa[11]="b";
hexa[12]="c";
hexa[13]="d";
hexa[14]="e";
hexa[15]="f";

function toHex(i)
{
if (i < 0)
return "00";
else if (i >255)
return "ff";
else
return "" + hexa[Math.floor(i/16)] + hexa[i%16];
}

function fade()
{
if(j <= steps)
{
var hr = toHex(Math.floor(sr * ((steps-j)/steps) + er * (j/steps)));
var hg = toHex(Math.floor(sg * ((steps-j)/steps) + eg * (j/steps)));
var hb = toHex(Math.floor(sb * ((steps-j)/steps) + eb * (j/steps)));
j++;

document.getElementById(thing).style.backgroundColor = "#" + hr + hg + hb;
setTimeout("fade()", 1);
}
}
function startFade(element, ssr, ssg, ssb, ser, seg, seb, step)
{
steps = step;
sr = ssr;
sg = ssg;
sb = ssb;
er = ser;
eg = seg;
eb = seb;
thing = element;
fade();
}

0x2DA - Time

2006-05-24T22:06:00.000-07:00

The install of Windows Vista Beta 2 took altogether 35 minutes from mounting the image to booting into Vista.

It's pretty, and I can ramble on about that at a later time. I just wanted to make sure I wrote down how long it took somewhere.

We're going downtown

0x2E2 - Check

2006-05-17T07:43:00.000-07:00

Courtesy of hardrock.cnblogs.com, here is how to make a PDF checkbox using iTextSharp in Java (but it should give you a good idea as to how to do it in C# as well).
Please forgive the formatting.

Using System;
Using ITextSharp.text;
Using ITextSharp.text.pdf;
Using System.IO;
Public Class Form_checkbox
{

[STAThread]
Public Static Void Main ( String [] args)
{
Document document = New Document (PageSize.A4, 50 , 50 , 50 , 50 );
Those
{
// Creation of the different writers
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance (document, New FileStream ( @" E:\java\form_checkbox.Pdf " , FileMode.Create));

Document.Open ();
PdfContentByte cb = Writer.DirectContent;
Cb.MoveTo ( 0 , 0 );
PdfFormField 87-98 = PdfFormField.CreateCheckBox (writer);
PdfAppearance tpOff = Cb.CreateAppearance ( 20 , 20 );
PdfAppearance tpOn = Cb.CreateAppearance ( 20 , 20 );
TpOff.Rectangle ( 1 , 1 , 18 , 18 );
TpOff.Stroke ();

TpOn.SetRGBColorFill ( 255 , 128 , 128 );
TpOn.Rectangle ( 1 , 1 , 18 , 18 );
TpOn.FillStroke ();
TpOn.MoveTo ( 1 , 1 );
TpOn.LineTo ( 19 , 19 );
TpOn.MoveTo ( 1 , 19 );
TpOn.LineTo ( 19 , 1 );
TpOn.Stroke ();

Field.SetWidget ( New Rectangle ( 100 , 700 , 120 , 720 ), PdfAnnotation.HIGHLIGHT_INVERT);
Field.FieldName = ( " AMR " );
Field.ValueAsName = ( " Off " );
Field.AppearanceState = ( " Off " );
Field.SetAppearance (PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL. " Off " , tpOff);
Field.SetAppearance (PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL. " On " , tpOn);
Writer.AddAnnotation (87-98);
Document.Close ();
System.Console.Out.WriteLine ( " F1M. " );
}
Catch (System.Exception de)
{
System.Console.Error.WriteLine (de.Message);
}
}
}

And I finally found the reason for me

0x2ED - Disturbing

2006-05-06T15:28:00.000-07:00

I've successfully moved back in at home. Today was spent cleaning around my desk to make room for my computer, but hopefully I can continue on to all the other stuff in my room, too.

Setting up my computer and speakers went pretty quickly, and a quick firmware upgrade to the wireless router let's me use it as a client so that my desktop has internet as well. The disturbing thing is that I currently have my speakers set to my "nighttime" volume level that I use at school, but playing music at the level is quite loud here.

I'd do a sound test at my normal listening level at school, but I'm afraid that'd disturb everyone a little too much.

Follow the path of the straight and narrow

0x2F8 - Process This

2006-04-24T23:09:00.000-07:00

ERP is over, this is a Good Thing.

However, the processor is due Wednesday, and it isn't the easiest project we've had to do. If Blogger cooperates, there's an overview of it to the left. This is, in no single way, complete.

0x30D - Countdown

2006-04-04T20:58:00.000-07:00

A new one. Isn't it exciting?

I realize the lyrics should potentially be from the "Final Countdown", but you'll just have to deal with it.

So if you really love me, say yes.

0x0 - Love

2006-03-24T16:48:00.000-08:00

I believe there comes a time in every person's life, where they find that one, single person they want to spend the rest of their life with. Five and a half years ago, she said, "yes," to me.

Tonight, she said it again.

And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds

0x1 - Snow

2006-03-23T20:44:00.000-08:00

At the beginning of this week, we had two snow days. Of all the things to do in the snow, what did some of the residents of this building do? Built a snow-couch, of course!

Can't see what space I'm in

0x6 - Xanga...Live

2006-03-18T09:47:00.000-08:00

It's no secret how I feel about Xanga as a blog hosting site. I gained a tiny bit of respect for it today, as you'll see shortly.

Live.com has recently been updated to be, well, usable. I like using it, and it has replaced quite a few of my standard tabs in my browser. I use it to read all the blogs I normally read, simply because it's easier (to use and to read). There's a picture of it up above. When you put your mouse over the word "more" next to a posting, it shows a box that contains most of that post. In this case, it's one of Stolee's posts.

The problem I'd been having with Xanga blogs is that I couldn't use them with Live.com because it didn't seem like Xanga offered RSS for its users. However, some searching turned up a way (offered by Xanga, but not well published) of getting RSS for Xanga users. Here's how:
Where you would normally have
http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=emo_kid
Replace home.aspx with rss.aspx like so
http://www.xanga.com/rss.aspx?user=emo_kid

And there you have an RSS feed for your favorite Xanga user.

0xc - Dream

2006-03-12T17:55:00.000-08:00

I had a dream last night, which is not something that happens very often, especially dreams that I remember most of.

It started out, we were wandering around a city's downtown that seemed an awful lot like Lincoln, but not exact. "We" included a group of people that I don't really remember. It was icy and snowy out, and we were just walking around. I walked across a block of land, like a parking lot, that was frozen over and I started slipping towards the traffic, but I managed to grab onto something (it felt like a seatbelt...from a car) that allowed me to "swing" back away from the street.

Next, we ended up at a Italian place, I think called "Papa Le'on's" (long 'O' sound). I think it was called that because I remember its the owner's name. He was very friendly, the restaurant had very old/formal tables and chairs, but the restaurant itself wasn't that formal. Papa Le'on brought four pizzas that looked very tasty, and we chose two of them.

For some reason, he also sold a limited amount of clothes there. Sweaters, mainly. For some reason, I tried one on before we left (I remember it being a FOX Racing jersey type shirt.) Then we left. Once we left, I realized I still had the shirt on, and I told everyone that I'd catch up with them as I went back in to return it.

Inside, I found Papa Le'on, and I talked to him about it, and apologized. He said it was fine and I could have it if I wanted it. I intended to buy one of the other ones anyway, so I did. I paid him, and as I was leaving, I noticed a man with a gun at the door.

That man shot in the glass window of the door and opened it. Somehow, I was behind a counter and hid from him as he came in, but he quickly started grouping the people in the restaurant together. I stood up and asked him if he even saw me. (No, I don't know why) He then grouped me with the others (and my backpack). While he was busy with the register, I reached into my bag and pulled out what could only be my Airsoft pistol (since I don't own any other weapon).

I made him get down on his knees with his hands behind his head, so that someone else could call the police and I could watch him. Another man approached him and put his gun in front of the kneeling man's face. The kneeling man quickly stood up, and the one with the gun opened fire on the group of people (I was about 10 feet from them at this time). I jumped behind the counter again, thinking that I only had an Airsoft gun and was as good as dead.

The man's gun began clicking, and I was just about to stand up when....my alarm went off.

Who knew we would be something after all

0xf - Tests

2006-03-09T15:24:00.000-08:00

Right now, I'm putting off working on CS homework.

Last weekend, I went on a trip up to Minnesota for some Nebraska baseball games. They were good games and Nebraska swept the event. I'll post pictures over spring break and you'll enjoy them.

Yesterday was our business test. It wasn't very enjoyable, and I'm glad I only used some time this morning to study for it, since I don't think I could have prepared for the things that were asked. I've heard the same sentiments echoed from other people, as well.

Well, you don't know what we can see

Broomball

2006-03-01T10:55:00.000-08:00

With a season that's sure to spur a movie license like Miracle, Esther's Crew men's broomball team took the class C residence hall championship early (early early) this morning.

The last period, we were down by one goal. With ten seconds left, we get the ball down by the opposing team's goal. Kevin has it and takes a shot - it's blocked and bounces out towards him. Five seconds left, Kevin fights off one or two defenders and manages to get another shot on the goal. It goes in.

Now it's time for a shoot-out. We're tied at 1 all for the championship. Dan shoots first for us and scores. Next, their first shot scores on Johnny, our goalie. Six more people shoot, no one else scoring. It's up to Johnny, our last chance. He shoots and scores, but we're not out of the water (or ice) yet. Johnny takes his position as their best played lines up his shot. Johnny catches it, and the six of us plus our two (?) fans shout happily.

The thing about the team we were playing, called 'Team Ramrod', is that they beat us quite handily twice earlier in the season. I'm glad we won when it counted.

Oh, right, a picture!

GI Tar

2006-02-27T11:22:00.000-08:00

This one is for Steven.

Remember those public service announcements at the end of GI Joe cartoons? I do. There needs to be one about the use of tar for compression. It's just wrong.

I'm serious.

Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has

Gi-tar

2006-01-17T17:33:00.000-08:00

Earlier today, I got out my guitar for the first time in awhile. I tuned it, and then I went to class. About five minutes ago, one of the little metal pieces, I'd call it a "guide" because it functions to guide the strings over the nut, popped off. I'd noticed something rattling earlier, but couldn't find it. Now I have, and my D and G sound pretty terrible. The screw holding this "guide" in the head just kinda slides in and out now, so the hole is stripped. I wouldn't blink for a moment if this was drilling into my computer case, but since I know significantly less about the guitar, I'm quite sure drilling won't happen. The possibilities are limited to finding a slightly larger screw or having it repaired.

I'm to the point where an acoustic sounds like a pretty good idea. I certainly don't need something expensive, considering how little I play, but that would beat having to plug it into my computer every time I want to play.

So, hey! Anyone have a decent acoustic they'd like to trade for a minimally disabled electric?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

You said so much without ever parting your lips

Happy New Year

2006-01-01T00:46:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year, everyone. 2006 will surely be an exciting year.

Just you wait.

Hello my friend, farewell, goodbye.

Bowl

2005-12-28T21:30:00.000-08:00

No, not the eating kind, silly!

Way to go Huskers - beating Michigan in the Alamo Bowl.

What a wacky last play.

That's what you get, for playing catch without arms

Ah, I knew Time had some smart people hidden amongst its normal writers!

Number one, that's what I mean.

In time the seasons will seal these shards.

You're Bored

2005-12-27T09:53:00.000-08:00

Admit it, I'm right. Otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this and all those other blogs!

Since I'm so very right about this, here's something to take up your time. Be warned! It's very addictive.

Or, you could play Prince of Persia 3: The Two Thrones. But, if you're like me, you'll run into a game-stopping bug when you reach the first boss. You see, this game has what they call "speed-kills" where you can quickly eliminate an enemy before they have a chance to know you're there. In practice, this works wonderfully - it only requires timing on your part - you have to push a button when your dagger flashes, otherwise the enemy will be able to throw you off and you'll have to fight normally.

This is not normally required for you to do. It's optional, but it's fun optional. In the case of the first boss, speed-killing becomes required. The problem is that my game is bugged, and when it should be showing the flashes so I can stab the guy in the eye, it doesn't, so I'm left to guessing when to push the button. I'm not very good at that.

I see a light above me, could it be my angel?

Work

2005-12-27T08:56:00.000-08:00

I'm working over break, which is a pretty good deal when compared to cleaning out my closet at home.

The project I'm on needs to have its front-end going by January 6 so the client can come to our office and start entering data. Thing is, this application has been written twice, scrapped twice, half-started again, and now I'm coming into it. The requirements of the application, as given to me by my boss, are, "It needs to be able to run their business, a starship, and a government."

Knowing my boss is an easy-going guy, I inquired about the necessity of being able to run a starship by asking if the approximate time the project would be done would be when starships were around needing to be run. His reply? "Totally!"

Of course, that was all in jest. The front-end, at least, will be done by the sixth, and my part will be done even sooner. I'm in charge of applying permissions to everything in the application. Originally, I was supposed to implement full-blown UNIX-style permissions. That quickly refined itself down to simply group level access, still "UNIX-style" because it's using the same numbers you would if you were chmod'ing a file.

I have it now so all you (well, probably me) have to do is paste seven lines of code in the Page_Load, and it will check and see what permissions the current user has to the page or object they're trying to see. Three of those lines are comments.

The benefit of this project to me, besides the having something to do, is that I've become familiar enough with VB.NET to not become unhappy when I have to deal with it. This project is all VB.NET, as opposed to C#, because the client believes it will be easier in the future to find someone to maintain VB.NET code rather than C#. The kicker is, it's always going to be us maintaining it.

Oh well!

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room, well I'm here with you

A Gift

2005-12-21T20:29:00.000-08:00

For the holiday of your choice, here's a picture of Molly's kitty.

She's gonna break soon, gonna break soon, gonna break soon

Five Left

2005-12-21T20:08:00.000-08:00

That's one semester down. Five to go. Finals were "alright", but let's not talk about that. Also, easy with this post, it's jumping all over.

Most of you (okay, probably all of you) know that I'm working over break. In itself, that's not so weird - I did that during high school, even. The weird part is that working over break requires me to wake up earlier than I did all semester. My body reminds me every morning of two things:
a) It's quite silly to be waking up so early.
b) It's really freaking cold.

New subject. Mario Kart DS. I haven't had a chance to officially play it on this "internet" thing, but I'm excited at the prospect. If you have it, my friend code is 425261-993945, so go ahead and add me. The ability to draft and the resurrection of the hop are both very neat, however, this game has pulled my skills in Mario Kart - Double Dash down just a little bit.

Next up, Kevin. On the right, you'll see a new addition to the blog links. Kevin started a blog to keep track of his experiences while attempting the "Uberman's Sleep Schedule", a version, if you will, of polyphasic sleep. He seemed to be going alright until Monday night, but I'm hoping he picks it back up after Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, I'm sure you know where I'm going. No no, not for Christmas. Yes! With this paragraph. People that watch the Colbert Report will know what I'm talking about, let's look. (Definition from dictionary.com)

[Middle English holidai, holy day, from Old English hlig dæg : hlig, holy; see holy + dæg, day; see day.]

Wait, what's that? Holy day? Holy crap! Let's get this straight.
Some are offended because "Holiday" is used instead of Christmas.
Some are offended because "Christmas" is spoke in their general vicinity and think you should use "Holiday" instead.

Holiday. Holy day. Christ is Holy. Christ. Christmas.

Wacky!

You will never be, on the worst side.

Thanksgiving

2005-11-27T13:54:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving this year was different than other years. It was held "across the street" at my Aunt and Uncle's house (which isn't different from any other year). The different part was that all of my cousins were gone. One moved to Montana with his wife, another just got married this year and moved to Alaska with her husband, and the other is a Marine living in Florida. They'll all be back at Christmas, but Thanksgiving was different without them. I mean, we could all actually sit at the same table this year.

Jered and I both brought our DS with us, and he brought Mario Kart, too. This meant a couple people could play together with this amazing little game.

However, two people weren't always playing it - for instance, my Grandpa played it by himself for awhile. He seemed to have fun, too.

Evan, if you were wondering what you missed, here's some pie:

You're my song

Thunderstorm

2005-11-27T13:44:00.000-08:00

It's November.

Outside, there's a thunderstorm.

It's November. Snow is predicted for tomorrow.

I need you now more than I ever did

Huskers

2005-11-25T22:22:00.000-08:00

Today was a good day.

Firstly, because Molly came over.
Secondly, because home-made pizza is tasty.
And thirdly, because the Huskers finally looked like a team.

Despite the Big 12's refs' best efforts to foil the win, they still did do this "winning" thing. According to said refs, after a play ends, three seconds are allowed to tick off the clock before it should really be stopped. If you're at a point where letting three seconds pass would put you at negative seconds, just let it stay zero and call it halftime.

I can't make this stuff up.

After dinner, we watched "The Missing", which I have to admit, was much better than I expected. It felt pretty long to me, but I have been assured it was not nearly as long as I thought. I'm still trying to figure out why the back of the DVD said "shape-shifting" when I saw no such thing happen.

Shipping status indicates Mario Kart DS has arrived. Uh oh productivity!

Summer has come and past, the innocent can never last

Lyrics

2005-11-22T13:59:00.000-08:00

As I'm sure you've noticed and then quickly not worried about, song lyrics are at the bottom of every post. This mainly make me feel like I'm putting something extra up, when I'm not.

Tricky.

By way of Cromer, I've found a way to make it easier to find the lyrics to whatever I'm listening to when I make the post. EvilLyrics is a program that does a quick search for lyrics to whatever song you're listening to. It searches a multitude of locations that lyrics...uh... reside. I'd have to say - it works pretty well.

Why can you read me like no one else?

Break Time

2005-11-22T13:53:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving break is finally here. I'll be home tomorrow, and I think most of my work is done - so it's really just MRP stuff that has a possibility of being worked on. I have a stats test the Wednesday after we get back, so I should probably read over the notes. Otherwise, break is going to be food, sleep, see Molly, see family, and generally enjoy not going to class.

Sounds good to me.

Listen...to the sounds that remain in question - in hopes...to solidify a truce

Picture

2005-11-21T09:53:00.000-08:00

Someone hold me to this...over Thanksgiving break, I need to make a new header picture for this thing.

Either that, or start to work on my own site.

Debate to understand that we all have a flaw...

Hours

2005-11-20T21:08:00.000-08:00

Spending three hours in a MRP meeting is a bit tedious.

Yeah, my code works now.
Yeah, our memo is done for tomorrow.
And yeah, so is our manual.

Still - three hours seems a bit much - crunch time or mushy time.

Nice try, but you can't avoid this forever.

Xanga

2005-11-15T21:55:00.000-08:00

And holy crap, why do all Xanga blogs have to hurt my eyes so much?

Jered's and Lori's are alright on the eyes, but the other two siblings (and future sister-in-law) are pretty painful.

What a way to go, what a way to see

Games, and more of them, too

2005-11-14T19:53:00.000-08:00

The last month has brought a large number of games to those of us who enjoy that sort of thing. Look out, here comes a list!

-Battlefront II
A sequel that makes me happy. I enjoyed the first iteration, but it lost its luster after a bit. The addtion of space combat to this makes me want for the days of X-Wing and TIE Fighter, but at least I have this.

-Black and White 2
Here we have another sequel. This is a sequel that improves on the first, yet still makes my computer feel weak inside. It's really pretty, especially zoomed all the way out above whatever island you might be on. I haven't beaten it because I'm easily distracted, but I've enjoyed the time I've put into it. If you like playing God and controlling a pet, you'd like this.

-Call of Duty 2
I almost forgot this while I was making my list. I know it's come out, and I know I could play it, but the most I've seen related to it was the TV commercial that I just saw. It looks really pretty, I'll give it that. I'm up for some more scripted WWII sequences, how about you?

-Civilization 4
I'd be lying if I said I've played this. Other people around the building have, and it sounds like they're pretty addicted to it. Kevin plays it, said he really didn't like it at all, and then still played it. Crazy.

-Fable
Fable is a pretty nice RPG, as console to PC ports go. The fighting system is nice enough to allow me to actually have a role in any specific battle (real-time battles are nice like that) any my skill in pointing and clicking in order to shoot an arrow makes it entertaining, too. The story is actually really good too, but it isn't so linear as to force you to do things when you've found something more interesting to do. For instance, an old guy says he'll introduce you to his daughter if you go get a certain hair style, facial hair style, and so on. Once you realize he's just making fun of you, you get to choose to beat him up or not!

-F.E.A.R.
While it seems everyone else has already played through and beaten this, I'm just starting. I've been slightly scared twice now, which is a good sign for whatever time I spend actually playing the game, rather than just starting it up to see how it runs.

-Gun
This has been described to me as GTA meets Wild West. I have no idea if that's true, but I thought I'd relay that bit.

-Quake IV
The only game on this list that I have played. For me, it was Doom III, but more fun. A continuation of the story from Quake I and Quake II, this time you invade the Strogg planet, taking the fight to them, as it is. This ran very well until the end, which was the final boss. When I made it there, the game would simply crash. No error, no warning, no weird sounds - the game just disappeared from my screen and planted me on the desktop. I had to look it up on the internet to be sure that I was at the last boss, so I didn't feel as bad about uninstalling this one.

-Serious Sam 2
Run and gun, here we go again. I played a uh...demo... of this, briefly. That was enough to get tired of the same thing over and over. I liked the first one, and it's possible that if I had kept playing (or played co-op), that I would have liked this one too. I mean, the meat has to be in there somewhere.

Blessing the floor with the places you've stepped in

Other Blogs

2005-11-14T19:50:00.000-08:00

Over on the right you will now find a short list of other blogs that I:
a) Read constantly
b) Can't find otherwise
c) Find interesting

Any or all of the above may apply at any time.

More than this I wish, you could have seen my face

One of the less required pieces of our most recent project was to create a website and put stuff related to the project on it. Like any lazy kids, we simply created a new blog, and over the course of the last two days, updated the blog.

Neat, huh?

A phrase to cut these lips, "I love you"

Comupdate

2005-10-06T10:35:00.000-07:00

When you want to put your changes up on a version control system, it's commit. When you want to get the most recent copy from there, it's update. While it makes sense when you think about it, the choice of words can confuse a new user to the system. Thank goodness we have a multitude of copies in different locations.

Also, every time I type "blogger", I feel like I'm typing "bugger". I don't know why.

See you up on stage and I, don't know just what you're saying..

WTS: Disease

2005-10-03T20:34:00.000-07:00

(WTS = wanting to sell)

So, I've been sick for what seems like a really long time. Starting last night, my stomach started hurting. I can't tell if I'm hungry or sick most of the time, so it's pretty much a guessing game.

I'll let it go for best offer.

Please?

The shadow proves the sunshine...

Bill Gates, Warren Buffett

2005-10-01T09:00:00.000-07:00

They both came to the good ol' university. The day started out with a pretty interesting question and answer session (Questions were asked by special students who sat up on stage and are probably better than you and me). Warren Buffett is better at speaking than Bill Gates, but both were very interesting to listen to. They spoke on a variety of topics, ranging from their opinions on flat taxes to how much cash they're carrying in their wallet (Buffett had over $500, but that's because he and Gates were going to play a poker game last night with a $500 buy-in).

Gates touched on gaming briefly, making a joke about the next version of xbox being the "720", but we know he was kidding. He said we are going to start to see new ways of interacting with our consoles, through cameras and microphones that allow just to actually hit the ball, or move and have the camera pick it up, as well as peripherals that work with things happening onscreen. He never, ever mentioned Nintendo during this, but he mentioned Sony. If you want a unique, new controller, take a look at the Revolution's controller.

Gates also mentioned Google a few times throughout the day. He very much admitted to Google being ahead of Microsoft in the internet search area, but said he thinks Microsoft can compete. He mentioned that today, Google is the love of the industry, just as Microsoft was ten to twenty years ago. If memory serves, Microsoft took IBM out pretty hard during that period. Is Microsoft the IBM of now?

The JD Edwards corporate advisory board also spoke with us during the day. It was pretty interesting to hear the opinions on different topics from ten (someone check my number) industry "big wigs". It was also interesting to hear what they would like to see JDE become. Design Studio projects where the end result becomes an actual marketable product sounds pretty interesting.

After the corporate board, Bill Gates came to our little building to speak. All-in-all, I don't think he was very prepared for speaking to us. We could hear Jeff Raikes (a member of the corporate board, and Microsoft's number three guy) briefing Gates on what to talk about. He talked a lot about the future of technology and where he thinks things are going.

After all of that, Stolee and I went to Wal-mart to pick up some dinner supplies. We then proceeded to cook dinner (he did more of the cooking) for the girls, Molly and Katie. It was pretty tasty...In fact, I wouldn't be opposed to some more of the shrimp alfredo pasta right about now.

This is something I can't handle, I wish I had your strength.

The Best Words Are Already Said

2005-09-25T07:48:00.000-07:00

Honey,

Hoping, praying, I’ve been waiting
Everybody needs somebody to love
There’s no question, straight from heaven
You’re my angel, I’m so crazy for you

You’re a godsend
A blessing from above
You’ve been god-sent to me
You’re the godsend
I’ve been dreaming of
You’re a godsend

Holding your hand, touching your face
I will love you now and always I swear
I will never forget that first moment we met
When two worlds collided and I found my best friend

You’re a godsend
A blessing from above
You’ve been god-sent to me
You’re the godsend
I’ve been dreaming of
You’re a godsend

I was made for you, you were made for me
In this lonely world, we were meant to be in love

I will never forget that first moment we met
When two worlds, they crashed in
And I found my best friend

You’re a godsend
A blessing from above
You’ve been god-sent to me
You’re the godsend
I’ve been dreaming of
You’re a godsend

Fall Out Boy

2005-09-16T07:45:00.000-07:00

As it turns out, Fall Out Boy's "My Heart Will Always be the B-Side to my Tongue" was exactly what I was looking for. Acoustic punk. Unfortunately, there's only five songs on that disk, so if anyone knows what other groups do acoustic punk (emo-ish or otherwise), let me know.

Love, Love will tear us apart

Say What?

2005-09-10T08:26:00.000-07:00

Lucy Lawless, of “Xena: Warrior Princess” fame, is a cylon.

I really didn’t see that coming.

If I had a wish, this is what it would be, I’d ask you to spent all your time with me

Food, Groomsman

2005-09-04T09:26:00.000-07:00

Friday night was dinner night with the newly engaged couple at Lazlo's. It was very tasty, but the service was a bit slow. I had a good time regardless. We somehow ended up having the waitress take our picture, but I'm still not sure why. Maybe I'll eventually get a copy of that.

Before dinner started, I was asked to be a groomsman in their wedding. I certainly didn't expect that, but thanks, Adam. Sleeping that night was filled with lots of related and unrelated dreams. I haven't had a dream I've remembered in quite awhile...at least I remember that I had dreams that night.

Maybe tomorrow, we'll be here in time

Hurricane

2005-09-01T10:47:00.000-07:00

This is entirely crazy. Here's the livejournal of a guy (Crisis Manager) that works for DirectNIC.com as he stays in the company's data center keeping the place going. He's there with a few other people.

It's just crazy.

Ouch

2005-09-01T08:04:00.000-07:00

Something I did last night made the right side of my back hurt today...a lot.

That's all.

So tired, tired of wasted nights, wasted nights and lonely dreams - exhale...

Flurry

2005-08-27T20:05:00.000-07:00

Lots of posts, right in a row. Sorry about that.

In the past, I would say there is nothing good on TV. Anymore, I don't think that is true. I've found a few shows, one that isn't on TV (way to go, Fox) and the others that are in the middle of a new season. Let's have a list, huh?

Battlestar Galactica: The surviving humans from the twelve colonies of Kobol venture to find the fabled planet of Earth. It's a great sci-fi show. I was a fan of the original series after my Dad had me watch it, and I love this show. It's in its second season right now.

Firefly: This show is a great mix of science-fiction style "exploring the stars" and old-fashioned Westerns. Fox canceled this show way before its time. They also showed the episodes in the wrong order. If you know someone that has this series on DVD, borrow it and watch it - you won't be disappointed. The link is to the official Serenity movie website. Serenity is a movie based of the Firefly series.

Smallville: Out of the pattern of the other two I've listed, Smallville tells of (Superman) Clark Kent's high school and now college years. Despite the normal teen drama that is present all over in this show, I really like it. The new season starts next month, and I'm just finishing up watching season four.

Those are my main three. Throw in the standard Family Guy, and that's really all I watch.

I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays.

I Take it Back

2005-08-27T19:55:00.000-07:00

I lied. Don't use Skype, use Google Talk.

You might wonder, what advantage does Google Talk have over Skype? None, really. Google Talk sports a clean interface (extremely clean) for a very simple program. You can chat, and you can call, and you can check your gmail. I had the opportunity to use the voice chat with a couple people - the sound quality is great, just like Skype's. Thing is, in my mind, more people have a gmail account than have Skype, so it's just easier.

This summer, I failed to accomplish my goal of getting my website up. I guess that's okay, but I still plan to do it. Right now, my Wiki is still up, and it needs updated to match current classes of all the grade levels.

I'm falling even more in love with you

How About That

2005-08-27T19:43:00.000-07:00

My friend, we'll call her "Di", got back yesterday from Army basic training.

My friend, we're still calling her "Di", got engaged yesterday.

Congratulations, Dianna and Adam.

Well let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue

Well then

2005-06-29T17:52:00.000-07:00

Since Stack made mention of it, and is actively trying to get people to join, I guess I should mention it too. Skype. I installed it awhile ago after reading about some related topic on slashdot. I just wanted to see what all the hype was about. So, if you get bored, install Skype, and add me to your list (I'm "jhofker"). Lag isn't noticeable, sound quality is quite great.

Honestly, I can't wait for this class to get over in a week and a half. Matrix Theory is a pretty good class, but we're cramming an awful lot into 5 weeks. In fact, this is probably the class I've learned the most in (having a professor that is visibly excited about the topic helps) and done "not-so-well" in. Oh well...

I can't wait for the class to get over because I'd really like to start working on things that are more fun than homework in the evenings, after work. For instance, I would like to not have to use blogger for posts. I have a server, it hosts things now, so I'd like to get my own page up on that. I'd also like to clean my room - even that is more fun than doing homework. Although...Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as well as Battlefield 2, is quite enjoyable, so I think that might keep me from doing "productive" things too.

Now for what you really wanted: a cute animal.

Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name

Cute Animals

2005-06-20T21:00:00.000-07:00

I post pictures of a cute puppy and no one comments?

At least I heard through other means from a couple people.

Well...I'll just have to post more cute pictures of animals. Just not right now.

Everything will be alright, everything is going to be alright, be strong - believe.

Two Settings

2005-06-18T22:27:00.000-07:00

Meet the newest addition to the family. Cassy (Cassie, Cassi, Kassy, Kassie...etc.)

She comes with two settings, the second of which is used most often.

iTunes

2005-06-05T09:36:00.000-07:00

"Now supporting video".

That's a dirty lie. I just downloaded the newest version, removed my old file listing, imported all of my music, again, and then tried to import my videos. It "imported" two episodes of Dilbert, total. It also says those two episodes are each two hours and eleven minutes long. Yeah, right. They don't play, either.

iTunes needs something to go through and detect duplicate songs. Seriously. Yes, I have two copies of the same album where the only different is one has a capital 'F' and a capital 'T' and the other doesn't. Please, iTunes, detect that, ask me what to do, or read my mind and do what I want done anyway. There is no way I'm going through 41 days worth of sound again to try and find duplicate copies of files.

Another annoying thing: 4.8 has the ability to give you a link to the music store based off the album, artist, or song title of whatever song. But, this isn't really a link to where you can buy more of said song, artist, or album, but rather, a link to a search for those said categories where you might come across something. If it isn't going to display anything, I don't want to see the little link. That's pretty simple, isn't it?

Album artwork. On my laptop, that holds maybe five albums, I had no problem adding the artwork by hand. On this computer, however, where nearly 14,000 songs reside that are mostly appropriately named and tagged (thanks, Johnson), go find the artwork for me. Use Amazon or something...or maybe even your own music store service. I suppose when they fix my music store linking complaint, they'll fix this.

Yeah, right.

But under my hood, is internal combustion power...

Finals Time

2005-05-03T10:30:00.000-07:00

In one hour, it’s time for another final. I’ve felt sick since I woke up, so this doesn’t seem like a day that’s going too well. Then again, this final shouldn’t be too bad. I mean, what can we be expected to learn when we weren’t taught anything? Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.

Thursday is going to be a very long day that starts with a calculus final at 7:30 AM. That’s painful. To make it brutal, later that night, at 6:30 PM comes a physics test. How enjoyable. It’s also pleasant to know that your scholarship status generally rests on those last two tests. Wonderful. It’s certainly not the end of the world if I lose it; life just becomes a lot more expensive. And then I have to go on knowing that if I’d done “this or that” better or harder, I wouldn’t be in that situation. I can’t even blame the awful class that is accounting.

This of course brings me to work. This summer, I’ll be working for Phoenix Web Group (http://www.phoenixwebgroup.com/) where I’ll be programming random things. I’m really looking forward to going back. Molly works there, and I’m really looking forward to getting to see her each day at work.

And now I know and now I know and now I know...

Summer

2005-04-30T18:38:00.000-07:00

A week left. Finals, four of them, within that week. Should be
interesting, to say the least.

Currently, I'm at home in my newly-rearranged bedroom, with the mess of a dorm room's content around me. Really though, how can that much stuff fit in a single room? I'll never know. Looking up at my window, I see three bugs on the outside (thank goodness). Two of these bugs are mosquitoes. Oh man do I hate those little critters.

In other news, new laptop coming. Toshiba m200. Two weeks and counting.

I'll be counting.

I'll burn the ashes.

Industry Analysis

2005-04-27T16:50:00.000-07:00

It’s over. The last of the presentations were today. All around, I was pretty impressed by how everyone did. There were some that were better than others, and not that anyone is actually going to read this that did one, but good job folks. This was a very long project and I think everyone was pleased overall. I don’t know of anyone that really hates anyone else because of it, but I could be out of the loop on that. I enjoyed working with my group, but I think it’s time now to not do any more group projects...at least for four months or so. If I’m with these same people again, that’s cool – I already know we work well together.

Free time has slightly gone up, this is a good thing. Molly’s has gone down, this is a bad thing. Molly is sick again, this is a bad thing too. I miss the days of seeing her more than nearly everyone else. Katie pointed out that during our project, she saw me more than Molly did. It was true.

Time for UNIX class. I’m pretty sure today won’t be productive. Makefiles and gdb! Fun.

We are the misfits, the freaks, the enemy.

AFI

2005-04-20T18:45:00.000-07:00

We held hands on the last night on earth.
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees,
screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves.
It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated
along the bottom of the river.
So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea
and the shattered seasons lay,
and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease.
In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide.
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes
of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime.
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked
if you would accompany me in a quick fall,
but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two.
I rode alone.
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty,
bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.
Of blue and grey.
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city.
The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
into the earth like a message.

Crunch

2005-04-12T11:10:00.000-07:00

The general consensus around is that this is "crunch time" for all UNL students.

I know that Molly was busier than...well, anything last week, and she is still pretty busy trying to get stuff done and ready for classes as they end. Come to think of it, I really don't get to see her enough. Five minutes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and Friday nights. That's really all.

I have a business test tomorrow, and that should be exciting. If I do well on it, I should be able to do fairly well in the class. If I don't do well, well, that had better not happen.

Industry Analysis is finishing up. The only thing left is our presentation. The only thing left in getting ready for our presentation is starting. The Final paper, an analysis of the restaurant industry, focusing on full-service restaurants, mainly the three leading corporations, can be found here, so if you want to read that, go ahead.

In other news, computer science class is a joke. "Professor" just decided that if we do all ten of the problems from the ICPC finals, we don't have to have a final. That's a joke. He doesn't want to make a final because we haven't covered anything testable. Rather than think for half a second, people here immediately agreed to this proposition. That's insane. Do you people really want more group projects and things to do?

I'd rather take my chances on a final that won't ever materialize.

If we get through tomorrow then we'll be fine.

Haiku created by Sentence.

No, your mom!

2005-01-06T21:39:00.000-08:00

Yeah, that's right.

1-I don't even know what this meant before. Seems blogger decided an entire sentence of my typing wasn't worthy of being posted. I think I was trying to say that when you update your kernel, it's very important to update your symlink ( /usr/src/linux ) to the new kernel before you start trying to compile things. Otherwise, you're running on a hot and fresh new kernel, but compiling everything for the old kernel. This is bad. It broke my wireless driver for a couple days until I realized the small error.
2-Pacific Fighters is a lot of fun, and it would be even more fun if I could take off and land correctly.

Too much carbon monoxide for me to bear

LAN Party Goodness

2004-12-31T13:36:00.000-08:00

If you live around the Lincoln area, you missed out on a great LAN party in Waverly.

More stuff:
1-My uncle bought himself a new gun for Christmas. I got to shoot it. I think it was the first real gun that I've shot.
2-I mopped the floors after the LAN. Sometimes, there's no such thing as too much floor cleaner.

Who draws the crowd, who plays so loud, baby, it's the guitar man.

Day After Christmas Special!

2004-12-26T17:16:00.000-08:00

Fooled you, there's nothing extra special here.

1-Some people didn't like "Meet the Fockers", however, I enjoyed it very much. I actually felt embarrassed for the guy.
2-I can conduct music with a little metal stick in Zelda - Wind Waker.

No phone, no phone, I just want to be alone today

Two more things...

2004-12-24T12:38:00.000-08:00

So I suck at posting every day.

1-Digging 5 lbs of sour cream out of a container makes my hand hurt.
2-Making sure everything made for Christmas tastes exactly right is a lot of fun.

An update, holy cow!

2004-12-21T08:52:00.000-08:00

Very small update. I'm mainly just making sure my password still works and all that good stuff.

I know it's been quite awhile since I've posted. I've been very busy with school and the like, but it's Christmas break now, so business will hopefully die way way down.

I'm considering doing something simple like "two things I learned today" with this blog. Good idea? Bad idea? Man, this would require that I learn things...

Two Things I Learned Today:
1-Canned shrimp smells funny.
2-Tricking Battlefield: Vietnam into thinking it's been properly installed simply involves copying Battlefield 1942 registry entries and changing the name.

That's all from me today, woo.

I swear I'm right, swear I knew it all along

Other Blogs..

2004-10-26T11:56:00.000-07:00

I should start first by saying, "Happy 49 months, Babe" (a bit late, I know, I'm sorry) to the absolutely wonderful first chair flutist named Molly from a few posts ago, not to forget that fact that I am somehow lucky enough to have her. I have no idea how I am, but I am.

I figured a list of blogs that I read would be good...possibly so that I can just click them from somewhere, or maybe just because I like to share.
Here they are:
Matthew Beerman's
Travis Spomer's
James Stevenson
Derrick Stolee

Enjoy.

Oh yeah, if you like lots and lots of random music, tune in to http://kerjo.unl.edu:3689 with winamp or iTunes to listen to whatever I'm listening to at the moment. Yay.

Got this tank on my neck, got my tech. on deck.

Results of round 2

2004-10-22T11:17:00.000-07:00

So the results are in on Kerjo vs. Business Test, round 2. A little better this time, my life bar was very close to empty, but I won this round. AND I didn't do the worst. I did the second worst. Just once I'd like to do well on something here. This lady had this crazy arrangement on a page where we were supposed to squeeze in our answers in places it looked like they didn't belong. How was I supposed to know?

If studying for three hours collectively nets me +10%, that means I need to spend an additional 6 hours studying. Crazy.

Pretty fly for a white guy.

Ladder 49

2004-10-19T23:14:00.000-07:00

Rapid posting, of course. I promise I'll keep this short.

Ladder 49 is a very good story, but the ending made me sad. Firefighters are very brave, and having a movie about them was a good idea. For the first part of it, you might be a little confused why they're going back to the past and having him be a rookie again, but you quickly get used to that. The love story in it is pretty good, and shows how you might think the family life of a firefighter would be. It would scare me to death to do that job, it'd be a great rush, but it would scare me. Ladder 49's ending, like I said, was pretty sad and depressing, and I would have liked it to have ended differently. I like exiting theaters feeling happy, rather than sad.

Oh well.

We have to escape.

Team America

2004-10-19T22:12:00.000-07:00

Saturday, UNL played Baylor in a make up game. Baylor scored 27 on us, but that certainly wasn't enough to win. UNL's offense finally was able to score a bunch of points, which certainly made everyone feel better. Overall, the crowd seemed pretty subdued to me, and much quieter than normal.

After the football game, I was able to eat at Tico's (best Mexican food in Lincoln? you bet...they even won KFOR's award) with my dad, sister, brother, and brother's girlfriend. Good time, good food. I certainly enjoyed it.

Further after the game, I came back to Kauffman for a rousing time of Halo 2. Unfortunately, we couldn't get it going, since silly James threw a LiveWire in the same bag as his debug xbox, and it somehow burst and got on the xbox. It was left sitting in front of a fan, hopefully drying out.

And so, we went to Team America: World Police at the Plaza 4. Ticket prices have gone up, which makes me slightly unhappy, but the movie made up for it. If you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you, but it's quite funny. Besides, "Joe" is a quarterback from the University of Nebraska, that just means you have to go see it. Sure, you'll be offended, but you'll laugh at it too. I need to get the main song from it, so if you have a link...make sure you let me know, eh?

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces.

Kerjo vs. Business Test, Round 2

2004-10-15T09:58:00.000-07:00

So we have a business test today. I studied for it - more than I've studied for anything before, I'm pretty sure. It remains to be seen (in about 30 minutes) how much good studying did for me, so cross your fingers with me for the best. My main goal is to do better on this test than last time. By better, I mean passing. This test is going to be 70% accounting, or so we're told, and that's what killed me last round (the test punched me in the face, cheesy announcer voice yelled, "KO.") So this should be exciting.

After the test today, we have a short meeting that no one knows what it is about, so I'm pretty sure it'll go really quickly. And then we're home free. For four days anyway, and we're not all going home.

So I'm looking out my window while writing this, and I see a large jeep-like vehicle (possibly a Hummer, but it doesn't quite look like it) towing a large billboard. Funny thing is, it keep driving back and forth. Is this where advertising is going? The sign says "Curves - $0 joining fee." Maybe I should go sign up with whatever Curves is, eh?

Did you know that you can compute your profit margin by taking Net Income and dividing it by Net Sales? I do now.

I could give you lessons, in how to ruin your friendships.

Presidential Debate...

2004-10-13T21:23:00.000-07:00

Getcha getcha getcha debate on!

They're talking about the "strong women" around them right now. Creepy. From Bush talking about "love at first sight," to Kerry talking about his wives, one being the Ketchup lady, it's all kinda weird. I think I'll leave this one alone for now. Bush wasn't wearing a blue tie tonight. It makes me feel weird.

The main event of tonight was watching UNL's Symphonic Band at Kimball recital hall. If I must say so myself, they did really well. And I'd have to say, the first chair flutist did better than any other flutist I've ever seen.

Oh, and apparently the temperature becomes lower as night sets in. This was something I forgot as I wore a short-sleeve shirt and shorts. I really didn't think it was that cold until the wonderful first chair flutist from above grabbed my arm with icy-cold fingers. It left white spots.

Good night. Next up: EN Thompson forum rerun thing and stuff. Should be riveting and exciting.

Computer Science

2004-10-13T11:50:00.000-07:00

Today is a great day in CS. It's Wednesday, normally a business (or accounting) day, but we're in CS. She' talking about discrete math among other things, but I can't see us using any of what she's actually teaching any time soon.

We have a Technical Communication quiz in about 40 minutes, and a lot of us have spent most of the classtime in CS typing up community notes for the quiz. (Which you can find here.) I don't think the quiz should be too bad - I mean, how bad can 20 questions, multiple choice questions, be? I should think not too bad at all.

Back to discrete math, I don't think I'm catching any of it at all. Our class hasn't progressed far enough to be using it for projects, and I know that not many people are paying attention (good work to those that are!) Even the teacher seems to have some notes that are wrong on her slides. Mistakes happen, I know you'll find errors in my posts, and then I won't care - but if I were a deaf kid and were just reading her notes....

Blah - back to notes.

Once an expectation is set, even if it isn't accurate, we tend to act in ways that are consistent with that expectation. Surprisingly often, the result is that the expectation, as if by magic, comes true.
I found the above quote / paragraph while researching stuff for my English class. I thought it was a really good definition of a lot of things. If we fill our heads with self-doubt and tell ourselves we can't do something, our thoughts and fears will come true.

That's enough deepness out of me for the night.

Stolee, your coffee rocked me. Thanks.

And thanks for responding, guys.

I'd like to pose a question: is there such a thing as working too hard?

Before I arrived at college, I thought I knew what working too hard was. It had been defined in my mind, and I knew who did it and why they did it. They were the very highest people in my high school class (not drug-high, but rank-high). I thought it was fine - their extra work and willingness to slaughter themselves over homework that doesn't really matter didn't affect me at all. It was cool, they worked really hard, I worked enough to keep good grades, and I was satisfied.

Now, I become a freshman all over again. Things, stuff, dumb things, start all over again. What's the deal with that?

There's people in my class who I would peg as complete overachievers here. I suppose I should have expected that, right? Yeah, I should have. I also expected people to be able to relax a little. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen these folks truly relax yet. That hurts in a lot of ways. Only now, the amount of work they're willing to do, even when not originally required or deemed necessary, affects me. I end up having to do more work for the same grade because people go ask the professors about additional work, or how they want things done.

Working after classes all into the night...craziness. Breaks need to be taken or burnout will happen. It's a fact - proven by many much smarter people than I. I just can't understand the amount of work done by people. Oh well, I guess.

No change will occur in the overachievers by my doing, I know that. I would still like to see them relax.

Just wait, sometime I'll rant on accounting.

Holy crap, a blog!

So I thought I'd jump on the trendy horse and open my own blog up. I have no idea what exactly what's going on with this, or even how much I use it. I suppose that isn't the point of having it, now is it.

My plan right now is to just post whatever I think I have to say. Seems reasonable, doesn't it?

After Will, from badwillhunting.com post his entry yesterday, and I found out this morning what that's about, I have to say I feel bad for him. It sucks when things like that happen and when people act like people. I hope things work out for him. He's become a good friend since I moved into Kauffman, and I hate to see crap like that happen.

But now...now I'm in our computer science class. Who knows how much we'll "learn" today. Probably nothing. I'm really quite certain that no one pays attention during this class. I try to act like I am sometimes, but I usually can't bring myself to.
