Me and the Computer

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - Sun Tzu Since I found out about an online blogger personality analyzer, I researched more a bit about personality test. You could try this one: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm . I got an INTP result which I think is a more accurate description of my personality. Sometimes I get comments like I never show my emotional side. Or I seem too cool even though the world around me is in panic. Sometimes that is a positive comment and yet sometimes it is not. Because there is a tendency for me to appear like I don't care at all. I have asked myself at times, why am I like that? Could I be different? Or Am I stuck to be like this forever because it appears I'm just sick in the head or...

They say that there are always three sides to a person. Who you think you are, Who others think you are, and Who you really are. I have a general perception of myself which maybe different from how my friends see me. But what the heck. Our mind will keep spinning trying to figure out our real personality type. So let's just forget about that crap. Let just say we are what we are. And that's about it. Make sense? No? Lol. I'm just trying to be funny today. There is an online personality analyzer that can give an idea about us. You can find it at http://typealyzer.com/index.php?lang=en . I entered this blog and I got ESTP - The Doer. Some part of it is right like this quote "more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time." But I think I'm more of the introvert type. Related Link: Carl Jung Typology Test

If you are going to make a Flash game here are the things you need to make. 1. Pre-Loader. Although broadband is the standard connection now a days there are still some who use the internet using slow dialup. A preloader would insure that your player see's something like a percentage counter. Instead of getting the notion that your program might have hanged. 2. Intro Screen. This contains the title of your game. 3. Instruction or Help screen. Helps the player know how to operate the game. 4. Game Level Screens. 5. Game Loop. Is the heart of a Flash game. It is an infinite loop but can be stopped when certain conditions are met. Like if the player completes the game or the game hero or heroes die. The game loop is responsible for tracking the various status of ingame objects and ensuring that they perform their programmed tasks based on player commands and ingame conditions. 6. Game Over / Retry Screen. Shows up when the player loses. It can also show the High Score s...

So I quickly dropped what I was doing and went over to their place. When I got there I found this Windows XP PC that keeps getting redirected to the login screen after logging in . I asked if they have another working computer. Like always, I searched the web to find if someone else have already encountered this problem. Sure enough I found that the problem was being caused by a virus. The author said it was being caused by a virus called BlazeFind. Here are the steps I did to solve the problem: 1. I went to the problem PC and then I booted it using Windows XP CD. 2. I went to the recovery console, what I needed to do was go to C:\Windows\system32\ 3. to do a COPY USERINIT.EXE WSAUPDATER.EXE unfortunately when I looked the USERINIT.EXE was missing 4. so I went over to the other working Windows XP PC to copy its USERINIT.EXE file. But the problem is I could not copy it to the problem PC because Windows XP Recovery Console won't detect the USB drive. 5. So what I...
