I went to Hollywood again. Wait… the last time I’m there, I was a virgin.

I’m coming in late tomorrow, and I will be leaving early too.

Due to the ridiculus sky rocketing gas price, I cannot afford to pump gasoline into my car anymore. This left me with no choice but to walk to work. I’m also leaving early because I need more time to walk back home for dinner.

Thanks for your attention.

Guys! Stop adding all these applications to your facebook profile. Do you really know what the application is for? Do you really need them?

Don’t just add them because someone sent you a request. And, when you added a new app, stop sending it to ALL of your friends, too! I’m not gonna name names, but someone actually has a profile that crashed the browser on my 2GB RAM computer. You know who you are!

First day of me quitting smoking. So far, I haven’t had a cigarette for more than 24 hours. It was very challenging today, because the Internet was down at home. And it wasn’t something that I’m able to fix. Duh!

I kept on getting an error when diagnosing the connection on my 2Wire modem, it was something about “Could not find ATM Circuit”. After spending almost an hour talking to some “techies” overseas. Someone finally claimed that there were a outage affecting the whole mid west (yeah right). After a couple of transfers and “power cycling my modem” instructed by the overseas ”techies”, I basically went no where. And was told that I won’t have Internet usage until the “engineers” fixes the problem!

Dear at&t, your overseas customer support SUCK!

I am quitting smoking for the xxxxth time. This time, I asked for professional help! Yes, I’ve signed up for a quit smoking class in Kaiser. It’s free of charge since I’m insured by them, and they provide patches for free (co-pay only) after you attend their class, I WILL succeed for sure this time!

I want to be healthy, and also want others around me to be healthy. As a young man my age, I should not be a slave of nicotine. I’m throwing away all my lighters and ashtrays. And I told the boss of the liquor store down stairs not to sell me anymore cigarettes. I am ready, for realz! I’m seriously ready to take this challenge. Okay, my friends and co-workers, please help me by not offer or smoke in front of me. Or you’ll be in trouble!

Good bye, Cigaretts!

For the first time I experimented this issue on a PC trying to run Microsoft Project for the first time. The error message indicates “Error 1919. Error configuring ODBC data source: MS Access Database. ODBC error 6: Component not found in the registry. Verify that the file MS Access Database exists and that you can access it. “

Then I found out this is caused by either a corrupt registry entry or simply the entry is missing. To fix it, the easiest method would be to import the registry subkeys from another computer.

1. From a computer or user profile without Error 1919, go to registry edit (Start > Run > Regedit) and export (File > Export) the following and save it into a temp networked folder, or USB drive:
   HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareODBC
2. On the computer with Error 1919, open up registry edit, Import (File > Import) and select the the exported registry file.

Make sure to do the registry import while logged on as the problem user, grant temporary admin access if necessary. Once that’s done, the error message will go away.

I’ve updated my Wordpress to 2.5.1 today. Not much difference in the presentation of the front end. But major difference in the back. While upgrading, I ran into some trouble, mainly because of some old plugins and I was able to resolve them after spending a little time.

I like it very much. Wordpress did a great job!

I’ve also added a new section to this website, my Portfolio. It contains some of the works I’ve done previously. I’m still organizing and will add more and more into it.
