bubo, what are you looking at?

Check this out

"A South Florida woman who died this week had an unusual last request. Instead of flower or contributions in her name to a charity, she asked those who loved her to try to make sure President George W. Bush is not re-elected"

just read from here

"For one thing, the internet cafes weren't the most cooperative. Most of us know that China blocks a lot of websites, like anything on Geocities or any Typepad blogs. Trying to access those pages directly from China yields the browser's "page not found" error. However, some of Tianjin's internet cafes have a kind of proprietary software installed that closes all open browser windows if there is any attempt to access a page on the blocked list. Let me tell you, that is really annoying! Sometimes you don't even know that the link you clicked on is blocked, and then suddenly your e-mail, news stories, etc. that you had open are all closed. Grrrr... Maybe this is becoming more common in internet cafes in China -- I haven't needed to use an internet cafe in a while -- but it's the first time that I've seen it."

- wouldn't that SUCK or what. glad i don't need to use any chinese internet cafe.

for those who don't visit tabulas front page, it has a new layout. i really like it!

considering this post, there seems to be a few questions. here's a paper i wrote for internet censorship in china for my asian civilization class. you are welcome to read it if you want. otherwise the explanation on wikipedia is a good place to start.

i'm so happy i won the auction of Cindy's CG. it's sooooooooooooooooo good!!

bubo video of the day (5mb)

it's actually taken a few days ago. we wanted to catch him doing the weird attacking of the air blown on his face but he was too tired to be entertained haha. but he made this funny meow like noise when he had a light yawn. he makes meow noise when he yawns. this is NOT the best example. i wish i can get a better one later.

I've been working on some math practice problems for GRE (always start with the easiest XP)
i read the following message in my review book. it cracks me up.

Graphs
In the GRE math section, you are likely to get four questions that will be based on one or more graphs. Exactly what ETS is trying to test with these questions we have never been able to determine, unless you need to sharpen your clerical skills before you pursue that Ph.D in electrical engineering.

in another words. STUPID TEST! duh.

红豆 - 王菲

词：林夕 曲：柳重言

还没好好地感受雪花绽放的气候
我们一起颤抖会更明白什么是温柔
还没跟你牵著手走过荒芜的沙丘
可能从此以后学会珍惜天长和地久

有时候有时候我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候没有什么会永垂不朽

可是我有时候宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透也许你会陪我看细水长流

还没为你把红豆熬成缠绵的伤口
然后一起分享会更明白相思的哀愁
还没好好的感受醒著亲吻的温柔
可能在我左右你才追求孤独的自由

Quick Backstory: I work in a hospital as an ER Tech.

So I am walking past one of the little waiting rooms in the ER and I smell smoke.
Now considering the plethora of flammable materials in the area, the unsanitary nature of smoke in general, plus my own desire not to die a fiery death, you could say my interest was peaked.
So I knock on the door and proceed to open it. Inside I see "the King of the Idiots" calmly smoking a cigarette while sitting next to a sleeping old woman in a wheel chair, who coincidentally happens to have two tanks of oxygen strapped to the back which she is breathing out of. *TWITCH*
Somehow I manage to fight my natural survival instinct to flee long enough to say (perhaps a tad loudly)
"Sir, you CAN NOT smoke in here. Put that out NOW."
He looks at me, blinks, and says, "Why should I?"
I respond with, "Put the cigarette OUT and I will tell you." (At this time two of my coworkers have been drawn by the smell, and the alarm in my voice and so now there are three of us standing in the doorway and another running down the hall to call security)
So "Belligerent Boy" begrudgingly stabs out the offending smoke on the floor, right next to Granny's oxygen tank, and leaves the still smoldering butt there. My co-worker Tim rushes over scoops up the potential fuse and dumps it in the sink.
I proceed to explain that since this is a Hospital (i.e. a Sterile Environment) and due to the fact the he is sitting next to two tanks of highly flammable material that could make a good sized crater outta the waiting area, and that there are sprinkler heads/smoke alarms and posted no smoking signs … Basically smoking is not allowed.
His response: "Not good enough, honey." *as he takes out another smoke and lights it*
My witty rejoinder: "Well Sir I am calling Security and you will have to leave."

WARNING: The following is a retelling of an act so incredibly stupid, there is a chance that the reader may actually kill brain cells through the mere act of reading it.

At this point the Emperor Stupidhead says "I bet these things don't even work." As he stands up on tiptoes and waves his lighter under the sprinkler head…

Can you guess what happened then kids?

If you said the loud, obnoxious alarm bells began ringing, fire doors slammed shut, and a monsoon-like amount of water began flowing from the ceiling… well then you get a cookie.

But that wasn't want made him… "sucky".
Up until this point he was merely mind numbingly dumb. But suddenly the tide turned.

He looks right at me (standing just inside the door, soaked to the skin in my scrubs with my hair plastered to my head, frozen in shock and awe) and says, indignantly I might add; ""I hope you are happy now, . This jacket is dry clean only. I'm going to make sure you pay for it." He then proceeded to push past me into the still dripping hallway calling for "someone in charge" and he was actually still attempting to make a complaint against me as the police were writing up the incident report.

I have not the words.

Perhaps one of you can tell me exactly what I did wrong here cause I just can't seem to put my finger on it.

yay wallpapers here are extremely summery... what could be more summer than icee and watermelon.. yummy!

i always wondered what em means for css font-size.. i finally got off my lazy butt and found that out. still i'm a bit confused.. what's the difference then between percentage and em? sounds like similiar ideas to me.. their advantage is that when a user chooses to view the fonts with a larger size in their browser setting, the fonts will change accordingly.. while px will state absolute... right?

by reading this awesome tutorial

* Classes can be used as many times as needed within a document.
* IDs can only be applied once within a document.

So, if you need to use the same specific selector more than once, classes are a better choice.


-----------
Using the following rule you can target any <em> element that is a child of the <div>. Other <em> elements that are descendants but not direct children of the <div> will not be targeted.
div > em { color: blue; }

OR

div>em { color: blue; }

Child selectors are not supported by Windows Internet Explorer 5, 5.5 and 6, but are supported by most other standards-compliant browsers.


-----------
Universal selectors are used to select any element. For example, the rule below will color all HTML elements on a page blue - regardless of their position in the document tree.
* {color: blue; }


------------
Using the following rule, you can target any <h3> that follows an <h2>:
h2 + h3 {margin: -1em; }

Adjacent sibling selectors also work for inline elements such as <em> and <strong>

there are various feedback on the computer. mine seems to be fine so far :) it's not really that fast but it might improve a bit once i got it formatted and new windows installed. coz it came with A BUNCH OF SHAREWARE SOFTWARES and even adwares :(

NUREMBERG, Germany -- An eight-week- old Siberian Tiger shows his teeth during a media presentation at Nuremberg Zoo, southern Germany. Three tigers of the rare species were born Oct. 7, 2003 at the zoo, though one of them died soon afterwards. But male cubs Jenki and Gawan grow up well and were shown to the public for the first time Tuesday. (12/15/03 AP photo)

sigh.. i really wish i can watch the olympics

one of the drawbacks of no cable :( i remember i used to be obsessed over olympic events where china is good at such as gymnastics, diving, volleyball etc. in 1996 i video taped a bunch and watched them over and over again.

WOW Wu MinXia strikes again. i tell you this girl is unbelievable.

here's the code
<iframe name="medaltable" src="http://www.livingroom.org.au/olympics/minitable.html" width="160" marginwidth="0" height="236" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>

and yes the results automatically update

wouldn't hong kong's medals count as china's? why is it listed separately?
http://www.livingroom.org.au/olympics/olympic_medal_table.php

i created that layout for pure essence actually but it will still take a while before i can implement that layout for pure essence. since my TA page has to be done right a way, i slightly modified it to fulfill that requirement first :)

how you like that?
