What happened to that Uncle Cracker song that was on 25 times an hour?
October 22, 2001
I don’t know. I like that song because it was so simple and catchy. Dennis‘ latest update is so full of energy – he must have really gotten better because he was almost reaching out of his webpage and shaking you by the shoulders. YEEAARGHHHH or something. I need some energy now.
I’m going to complain about my midterms again. Tomorrow I’m going to get back the one I wrote last Thursday. I know it’s bad. I’m not talking about people who say they do bad but pull 80, 90, 95%. I’m talking about, I know it’s at most 65%. Ok I’m fine with that, I can’t change whether I do well or not anymore so it’s a by-gone. There’s one on Wednesday that I just can’t bring myself to study for. It’s on 6 chapters, basically a memorization and chatty chatty midterm, and I read 5 out of the 6 chapters before already (yeah I actually did some reading this term). So there’s all the motivation for studying. Then there’s one next Monday that I don’t give a rat’s ass about.
I suck in school. I remember when I got 2 B’s and the rest A’s in high school. Now look at me. It’s 2 B’s and the rest… < B’s, maybe. But high school didn’t mean shit anyway. I learned something that I could have if I went to the library or a bookstore by myself. In fact, 80% of my courses now apply to that theory too. Too bad libraries don’t test for knowledge and hand out papers with M.BA stamped on it.
Emails
What would be the most memorizable email address? The one I give out nowadays is jerry*jvision.ca. So when people ask, I say, <jerry> <at> <jay> <vision> <dot> <see> <eh>. Still, it’s kind of long. I guess for me the best email would be jerry*leung.com, but I’d have to register leung.com but it’s already taken by a guy called Jackson. Incidentally, his email is jackson@leung.com. Maybe I can buy an email alias from him.
My jerry*jvision.ca is probably the best email I have. Compare it to leung*smartt.com, jeleung*hotmail.com, or my work address leung*mail.cstudies.ubc.ca (which is really an alias for an easier jerry.leung*ubc.ca). Doh.
Oh yeah, replace the *’s with @’s. I’m just afraid some bot is going to crawl around and copy down those emails and spam me big time (none of you go do that ok?). But my contact page has those emails anyway. Doh.
Some Links I Found
Spammimic – hide secret messages in spam messages that look almost like a real spam message. It just shows how easy it is for terrorists to communicate and make it hell for authorities to track. They say Echelon and Carnivore ignore spam, so voila, hide messages in the stuff they throw out.
Martial Arts TRICKZ – teaches you how to do cool kicks that do wonders at exhibitions but don’t work shit in a real fight. Pretty impressive though – you have to be super fit, flexible, and strong to be able to pull of some of this stuff.
Lastly, a Martial Arts FAQ – this thing is huge. It’s the most comprehensive writing about martial arts I’ve ever read. Actually I haven’t finished reading it. If you’ve ever wondered about something about MA, chances are it’s in here.
In case you’re wondering, yes, I am back in training a bit – my elbow is still killing me. I wince in pain every time I twitch it at a certain angle. People stare at me and think I’m crazy but the pain is real.
