No, Jason my ego is not hurt. Why the hell should I care if 2 VARSITY basketball players beat us. I'm not a basketball player. No if the asians, none of whom were ever on the basketball team lost well it'd be no big deal. If you guys lost you'd look like shit. Plus, you guys talked so much trash and considering we only lost by 3 or 4 baskets, it's not like we got killed. But you guys talked a ton of shit anyways.

Well we went to Office Depot to get the Jornada and well my dad was about to buy it for
me and then my mom saw it. She was like its too small. And I go I want a small computer.
And she says the screen is too small , and I say well the resolution is lower so I compared
it to one of the laptops there and the text was the same size. So I tell her its WINce and that it only runs some apps. So she starts saying well its not a real computer so I shouldn't buy it and I say well thats all I need it for, the things it already can do. So she starts saying it'll be cheaper at the end of summer which it won't since it's already on clearance at Office Depot for $200 less than everywhere else. So she says I can't get it and my dad goes along and supports her since she'd be real pissed off with him if he didn't. I was even gonna pay for it my self, $700, but she still said I couldn't get it. Then she says well we could get you a more expensive laptop and you could put in your $700 and we'd pay the rest. Of course my dad was just gonna pay for all of it, but my mom is a cheapskate. Anyways she goes well you are gonna get a job this summer so you couldn't use it, so why do you have to have it now. And i'm say because it's as cheap as it's gonna get and you get a lot of free stuff if you buy it now. And i'm thinking why should I get a job if you aren't gonna let me spend the money on whatever I want anyways. Stupid Mom. Whenever it comes to money she's always such a bitch. Dammit.
Anyways now that i've spewed that, today I went to the swapmeet with terry and the TK/TL picnic. I bought a big ass heatsink, but it wouldn't fit on my board because stuff was in the way so I sold it to terry. And I bought this air exhaust card thing, but it didn't help so I sold that to Ivan. The picnic was fun. I played basketball for 2 hours. I still say that Jason you have no skills, and none of the asians could even shoot jumpers because there were double rims and the ball bounces funny. Now Jordan has skills, Jason you are just tall. I don't care if you say you won because all you did was make lame ass layups and if any of the asians were your height they could have done the same. Tall is not a skill. Now Jordan he's got the jumpshot and he can dribble pretty well so he's got game.
Lastly I have the backstreet boys millenium CD and if you want a copy, ask. My cousin Dennis wanted a copy so that's why I have it. No i would never buy such a piece of sell out music. And also my ati rage 128 was mysteriously clocked at 75/75 and well it's overclocked to 105/105 now with the 20 cent heatsink I bought at the swapmeet. Yeah I'm sure some of you (Connie) are thinking "whats he talking about?"

My parents got a new car. They bought a Lexus RX300. It cost $34800 with 4 wheel drive,
leather, 6 disc changer, wood paneling, the special wheel package, the spoiler, roof rack, etc. It's really nice. Plus they traded in the old Maxima so that means if I get a license they'll probably get me a car. Maybe even a new one. Also this weekend is the TK/TL picnic. Good thing I haven't gotten kicked out yet. All you white boys we asians will put up a good fight at the basketball game. Another thing is that all the teachers were asking why I didn't go to the acheivement awards. Well the answer is: 1. I'm lazy,
2. ties, 3. That is a really sad way to give yourself self-esteem, 4. I wasn't gonna win anything anyway (i didn't so i was right), 5. Well if I was gonna get a scholarship I would have, but i didn't so i didn't.
Also my dad said he'd buy me a Jornada subnote PDA WinCE thing. He said if I wasn't gonna bring my computer to UCLA then he'd buy me like a $1600 laptop. No way was I not bringing my death machine. No games . Laptops can't play games worth crap. Plus the laptop would have weighed like 8 pounds and well I really don't like that. So i'm getting an HP Jornada 820 for $699 at Office Depot. It has 8.5 inch screen, word, excel , internet explorer, and a modem. Plus it weighs only 2.5 pounds and the battery lasts 10 hours. Well it isn't a full real notebook, but it does everything i would have done with a notebook if i had one. Plus I get a free REX3 if I buy it and 8mb Compact Flash memory. I guess they are getting desperate to sell these things. Most people don't buy them because they figure "Well I could get a laptop for $300 more". But that laptop would be crap, weight a ton and have 1.5 hours battery life. You'd need a $1500+ laptop to approximate the size and battery of this. Like a sony 505TS or thinkpad 570.

I couldn't find the font I used for the buttons so I had to make new ones to add an
articles button. The new buttons are just courier new font, but they look good so I don't care. Now there will be an articles section, but there are no articles yet.
I will write some eventually and well they will be the type of articles you expect. The new
buttons are smaller also. Also I reorganized the old news by months and added Connie's new
page to links page.

Well I watched Phantom Menace today. Well it was a great movie. Well Terry, I guess
Shlonglor WAS right again. It was a lot better than I thought. The special effects were
great, and were used to enhance the movie. The battle scenes with all those droids was awesome. And the soundtrack was great. Definitely worth the admission price. Plus there
was the pod race. This movie makes me want to watch the remastered trilogy.
I also noticed that the lakers lost again. Well like I've been saying it was that damn trade and trading away Van Exel. They kept saying for years to wait for this young team a little while and it'll be good and then they finally make the west finals last year and management destroys the team. They should have waited another year. Anyways the Lakers are dead. Go BLAZERS!

Here is the full cracked Bleem!. This is the fixed
one that fixes to problems with AMD CPUs and CPUs without mmx. It includes the 3d Control
Panel, which means OpenGL and Direct3d support. The openGL was originally on the CD but
the crackers took it out. It's only a half meg download. The only bad thing about it is that it can't play burned playstation games. I'll post a newer version when the crackers fix that.
Also I'm so behind in english
that is sucks since I've got to turn in my senior project portfolio on tuesday. Also
I took the Bio test, it wasn't that hard, but I put micrometers instead of nanometers as the wavelengths of light in the question about making and experiment. Well school seems to be
getting more relaxed, we just have parties and talk.

Well today was U.S. Government AP and Stat AP test. The Stat test was really easy
except that the last question was worded all crappy and I got that wrong. I thought
we were supposed to compare before and after on part A not B, but Brian said that wasn't
how it's supposed to be. Also there was a part when we were checking batteries or something
and well I got that wrong because I didn't read the whole question. But I did the whole test in 2 hours total, and set a high score in tetris. So it wasn't all bad. On the government test I had problems with the one about the media. The worst part about that
one was finding a way to say what I was thinking cohesively. The last one with the charts
was so easy, so was the interest group one. I don't get why people thought the last question was so hard. That and the interest group one were the easiest followed by
the one about congressional oversight. Well at least it's over and only Bio left tommorrow and well I swear Terry you are gonna get a 2.
After the Stat test I went to Brian's. We put together his celeron 400 after a little problem with the slotket we returned it to Nexcom and he bought a new one at Domino. The nexcom people are really nice with return policies. It works great plus he has a disgusting 33GB of storage now. Lastly I would like to say that Quake 3 arena is so much better at 32-bit color. I mean compared to the rather crappy looking 16-bit color on the rage128 32-bit is just awesome. Especially with the new a2h drivers which are much faster than the old. One of these days after all my senior project stuff is done I think I'll write a review on my parts, and other people's stuff. Then I could get a banner and rake in some cash.

It came it went. People were anticipating today for one of the most fun events of the year.
Something people said that you couldn't miss as a high school student. Something I'd regret
not going to. Drum roll please.................... Of course you all know that I'm
talking about the...................
...........Armed Forces Day Parade!
In other news I have 128mb of ram now. Thank you jason , q3test is now not a hard drive
swapping mess, it's now a smooth running killing trainer. Terry the consumate moron
low level formatted his hard drive... I went with Brian and his dad to nyton to buy his computer. He got top of the line death stuff, 17.2 gig blazing fast maxtor drive, v3 2000,
128mb pc100, bh6, celeron 400 SEPP, 32x toshiba cdrom, 4 point speakers. Wow . Hopefully the 400 when overclocked to 450 will allow the hard drive to still work. That 37mhz PCI bus can kill.
Well off to see the Matrix tommorrow. Oh yeah don't watch Black Mask, Jason said it sucks.

News update! After terry read my page he says Christina hates me because of what Justin
told her about me. Well now you understand why I hate that bastard. There are so many
little intricate family things with my family and his.
|
5-12-99
Well Terry tells me that Christina and her friends pretty much hate my guts. He says
it's because I talked a lot of shit about the all mighty Justin. I don't know if she said
that recently, but it still got me pretty pissed. I mean I know Justin. He's a fucking asshole.
He's a concieted bastard if there ever is one. And I'm his cousin and I'm saying this. I
hardly ever talk to him. But I know the guy and I think I'm justified based on my experience
on saying that he's a dick. Christina and them don't even know me and well I really think
they are being unfair. I mean I don't hate her, I have no reason to. I figured all those ASB people were all
nice and didn't hate anyone, guess I was wrong. Oh well it's their loss.
Also Quake 3 arena is the greatest game on earth right now. Sure my ping was in the 500s
but it was still fun. I don't know why anyone would keep Quake 2 after playing this game.
I mean those jump pads just rule. The only bad thing is that the system requirements
are 128mb ram recommended so it keeps swapping to disk on my computer. Well hopefully Jason
can get me that ram and it'll be great. Also I got my tax refund today. $182!!!!!

Opps I messed up some tags and the news page was gone. Q3Atest out tonight. CompSci
AP tommorrow. Damn it!. After looking at the Bio AP study guide i figure i'll get at least
a 3 with a 25% chance of a 4. Also Mrs. Reif says all the programs are due tommorrow.
Well we're all screwed. Oh well.

I played basketball on friday for 2 hours, and another 2 hours on saturday.
Saturday was my grandma's 88th birthday. We had a big lunch party. We played basketball
later and I sprained my ankle again. I flashed my stupid CD-r and well it doesn't
work with prassi anymore. I guess prassi doesn't recognize the firmware anymore. I
use nero now. It was all locking up and stuff, like totally freezing the whole computer. THat
sucked, I wasted 3 CDs. Oh well. I'm totally behind in Comp Sci, oh well. I'm
gonna probably get a 3 in Bio AP unless I start reviewing all the stuff. I know
reasonable well most of the big concepts, but I need to know all those little details that
they don't have in free response. That's whats great about multiple choice. If you know
it generally and you see the detailed answer it'll come back to you. I'm figuring I'll get
4/5 on Stat and Comp Sci, those are real easy. For Government I'm figuring I'll get a 4.

These benchmarks were run with the Guillemot banshee win98 1.02.3 drivers and the new
3dnow! supported 1.47 mini GL on a k6-2/350, 64mb ram va-503+.
Guillemot Banshee | 640x480 | 800x600 | 1024x768 |
demo1.dm2 | 55.1fps | 40.2fps | 25.2fps |
massive1.dm2 | 43.3fps | 35.4fps | 23.8fps |
crusher.dm2 | 31.7fps | 26.1fps | 18.8fps |
Here are the same benchmarks on my new ATI Xpert128 16mb rage 128. These
are also with the newest drivers version 6.111 A2b. The system has now
been upgraded to a k6-2/450 64mb ram, and pa-2013. These are all at 32-bit color.
ATI Rage128 | 640x480 | 800x600 | 1024x768 |
demo1.dm2 | 40.9fps | 40.4fps | 29.9fps |
crusher.dm2 | 24.4fps | 23.3fps | 22.4fps |
As you can see the Rage128 does a good job keeping up with the Banshee. When I still had
the banshee I did run it with the new board and chip and it did show about a 2fps increase
so I think the board was already maxed out. I did not do all the benchmarks
for it so I didn't write them down. I then traded the Banshee for the rage128 to Juney
since he has only a k6-2/300 and the 3dnow! support helps him out. To think that the
rage128 has no 3dnow! support and is already going this fast. With 3dnow! support coming
out in q2 99 according to ATI it will kick ass. Should be real close to a TNT2 125mhz
since the rage128 drivers just keep improving. These newest drivers are 10fps faster than
the ones that came in the box. I can tell the processor is not fill rate limited at this
point since the crusher scores don't go down a lot when changing resolutions. With 3dnow!
well implemented I'd say the fps should get around 40 at 1024 crusher. Thank you Juney
I don't think I lost out at all in this trade.

Life sucks. That's all there is to it. I mean what the hell do I do all day. I go to
school, learn nothing, talk to people and thats it. High school just isn't the place for
me. I was reading the newest newsweek about how teenagers and their lives. It was an
article brought on by the Columbine High thing. It was all saying how like eveyr high school
had it's little cliques. I mean you can see it in torrance. You've got the punk ass asian
wanna-be gangsta clique with lowered imports, the jocks, the matching peppy stupid people. The school
spirit ASB people, the nerds (me included), and then there's the mexicans, the black people, etc.
No one hangs out with the other groups much. It's just stay in your little square forever.
Plus the Newsweek articles said that nerds will always have a hard time fitting in. They
are right too. The nerd group is merely the nerdy people from the other groups with the exception
of the guys who are sophmores, me , Randy, Brian and Matt who are true nerds. Juney is really in the
bandie group, just the nerdiest one from there. Chris and Terry really are the nerdier ones
in the ASB group. Damn I keep thinking about this and well it sucks that the "true" nerd
is not accepted. Hell us true nerds will all be millionaires. I hope in college it'll be better.
People are just not willing to accept people that are different from them. I think that
some people do get along well with the other people (I'd like to think I do) but you still
don't hang with them. Dammit I just wish high school would be over. They could just give me my damn
diploma already put me in a cryogenic freeze until UCLA starts and wake me up. I could care
less about all the stupid ritualistic crap, like baccaureate, the graduation ceremony, etc.
High school is just a fucking road block.

I came up with a great new medical invention. They've come
up with rogiane to make new hair, we should have a drug that prevents hair growth. No
more hair cutting or shaving. You just cut your hair the way you want it and shave
to what you want it to be, then you don't ever have to shave or go to the haircut place
ever again. I'm sure modern science could do this, while bankrupting the hair cutting
and shaving market.
Also I went to the netparty at Brian's. It was pretty good. We played TF and RA2 and
a little anti-grav Q2DM. There still isn't Q3Atest for win32. They put it on Linux which
is a fine OS yet still completely useless because of lack of any apps. I mean face it the BeOS
is probably just as good an OS and easier to install at that, but it also has no software
so why would anyone use it. OS/2 4.0 is also good. No apps though. Also, I really doubt Terry's computer
will ever be stable at 500mhz. He's spent a little too much time on this. I mean
all I did was install a motherboard, and jumper it to 450. I'm not positioning 14 extra
fans , brushless blowers, motherboard swaps with my cousin, re-heatsink compounding. Plus
he's gonna buy a peltier which is a waste of money if the peltier+fan is gonna cost
more then $20 because you could just buy 32mb more ram and that would be a much
better thing performance wise.
