Made a Growl WebKit View!

Well I made a Growl WebKit View. It looks like Spotlight; I designed it that way. Here is a screenshot: Download As of 6/1/05 17:00 PDT, I made a small change to Spotlight and now it's at 0.1.1. The only change was to make the bottom background striated like the real Spotlight.

Haiku Generator!

I made a Haiku Generator in PHP! Here it is displayed inline:

The amazing grass
Swinging back and forth slowly
It is colourful

Get the source and an explanation on how it works via comments. Get the original AppleScript source which I made, but then ported it to PHP for use on the Internet. Note that this doesn't do what the PHP script does; this is unupdated.

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is a hectic day. I have to do my English homework on the bus and during my free period. I have to give my speech in the morning. Then, I vote during lunch. After school, my family and I leave for the Santa Cruz mountains… Why didn't I do my homework, you ask? Well I was doing my Japanese homework which I have to turn in tomorrow to a friend so she can turn it in for me.

Oops…

I almost forgot about my history paper until this week. I did the majority tonight and now I'm tired. Good night. And I also have some English homework left… It's all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed myself so hard… I had lots of work yesterday too.

Orchestra!

We got even more music. “Disney Magic” is a medley of Disney songs. It's so pointless. And then we have a fiddling piece. We have a pretty easy part; the firsts really have a hard time :P Vote Takumi for president!

I watched 4 Star Wars movies this weekend: 1. Episode IV: The New Hope 2. Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 3. Episode I: The Phantom Menace 4. Episode II: Attack of the Clones 1, 2, and 4 were borrowed; it was good to see the old ones again and Episode II for the first time.

Weird Day…

Today, I had to finish an English project about my mother. I showed it to her; she was delighted. I asked her later if I could go to a rock concert on Saturday, but she seems to be debating with herself… I hope I'll be able to go!

AdiumXtras.com down again…

That's horrible. It was on a few days ago… but not anymore. AdiumXtras is making some people sad… including me. On a side note, the slogans for Adium are on the site again! Yay!

Nothing much to say…

I finished a book today… it was Quick Calculus and it taught me basic Differential Calculus and Integral Calculus. Very interesting.

Orchestra…

Uggg… it was tiring. It's our pop concert next so we have popular orchestral pieces, like “Star Wars” pieces, “The Pink Panther,” and a medley of many MGM movie pieces… Tiring but fun. I don't have the melody enough though (I'm a Violin II). Wow Blogger really messed this post up…

Back from Yosemite!

Yosemite r0x0rz. It was cold (we slept in tents) so I wore 6 shirts and 3 pants… nice and cozy (“Like a tea cozy!” - Elliott Tan). I had no gloves though; I thought they weren't needed. Well the weather was good! It rained the night before we got there… lucky us!

Mom's Recital

It was cool! I knew she could play it… but not as well as she did! Practice actually does make perfect! But the probability of being 100% perfect converges to 0, so she was pretty close!

Comcast Internet!

Yay! I have Comcast Internet (or whatever you call it) now! We've been having ADSL problems so we switched; I notice major speed boosts. Going to my mom's recital now, bye.

Changed the name of my Computer

It was named “Takumi Murayama's Computer” before, but now it's “Adam Selene” from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein. Adam Selene is also Mycroft Holmes in the book… I forgot his other name.

Converted to zsh

zsh r0x0rz. tab-completion almost w0rx0rz EVERY TIME. cd with 2 arguments is also cool: [Takumi-Murayamas-Computer:~] takumi% cd adium/build [05/05/05 16:21:35] [Takumi-Murayamas-Computer:~/adium/build] takumi% cd adium myko ~/myko/build [Takumi-Murayamas-Computer:~/myko/build] takumi% [05/05/05 16:21:48] If you don't know what that is, you need some UNIX skillz.

Adium 0.8 out!

0.8 is out! The only reason I'm saying this is because I REALLY LIKE 0.9 SVN. It r0x0rz my s0x0rz. It's still not too different but is still VERY cool.

Checkers!

Well… I was playing Checkers with my friend today in last period, and it ran overtime and I missed my bus. It was fun though. When I was supposed to get on the bus, he had 5 Kings and I had 2. Currently (I saved the game on paper), I have 2 and he has 3. I still have a small chance…

FEEL MY WRATH/RAGE!

I got fed up with my stand partner in orchestra today. He made up this “game” which was bias towards him, which I quitted 3 or 4 weeks ago. He neglected it and kept “playing” with me, and I got mad. I whacked him with my bow repeatedly about 5 times and got in trouble with the maestro… but it felt good to finally release all the anger built up inside of me.
