Planning for the Asia legs of the trip was probably the most complicated due to having so many choices to start and end. On my last post, I had already booked my trans-Pacific flights from LAX to Tokyo with a stopover in Honolulu. This next part details the remaining flights on my planned trip.
Since I haven’t really been blogging as much as I wanted, I decided to start again about my future trip in September!
Now I’ve been planning to go on a vacation sometime during the summer but this came up:
I also don’t eat or sleep and ignore all other matters until I can’t do anything better to optimizee -_-
The first step is to SSH into UCSD. How to SSH?
For Windows, click here to download PuTTY. Scroll down to Binaries and you have three options to pick:
After installing, open PuTTY and you should see this:
This past summer, I started working at a startup company called Olaunch. When I first began, I started a project on building a new CMS using PHP5 and I stumbled on learning how to create websites.
I’ve used PHP before when I was in high school, but back then there weren’t many ways for me to create and build a website since resources were very vague for someone with no prior knowledge on how to do any coding. Luckily I did dabble in reading some PHP code to understand it all thanks to Invision Board before they removed their free versions and then I moved onto PHP-Nuke.
I haven’t updated anything lately due to my busy schedule: juggling four upper division Electrical Engineering classes, working at Sixth Market on campus, trying to find an internship or something concrete to do over the summer, dealing with problems from home, and personally putting my life back in order like organizing a stack of papers.
In terms of classes, this quarter has so far been one of the most interesting quarters on many of the courses I’m taking. I’ve begun to solidify my understanding of the Electrical Engineering courses I’ve learned over the years and how they apply towards the current courses I’m taking. I do feel overburdened by all the knowledge, understanding, and time commitments that each specific course requires. Read More
Everyone has at least one antivirus software on their computer to protect them from virus and what not but all of them usually require a subscription. And the cost of a subscription each year is outrageously expensive for example with Norton:
As much as I can bet that they’ll protect my computer, I don’t have the luxury of paying $50 each year for every 3 computers I have. And I manage far more computers cause most friends I know are too tech illiterate to know what’s the best way to protect their computers and ask me for my opinion on what’s the best free antivirus software. Technically, the best free antivirus is to not go online and never put any flash drives and etc into a computer so nothing ever goes in or out. But we can’t do that so the best way to protect your computer is to have an antivirus software installed.
The thing I hate about the most with free antivirus software is that they take up lots of RAM and this slows down the computer to the point where I don’t even use it anymore. Paid ones claim that this won’t happen when you use it but I’m still not willing to shell out $40 for this. There are people who avidly shop for antivirus renewals that come with rebates and make it essentially free but for an average person, that’s too much time and effort to look on Slickdeals and wait for a rebate deal to happen.

In my opinion, whoever came up with this facebook page along with the other Oakland High School confessions lately must be really incompetent to understand the implications it causes to the Oakland High community. I shall refer him as P. (If you’re gonna debate whether it’s a he or she, you have to be an idiot to think a female would be such a misogynist or treating women like they’re shit.)

Credit is one of the most unknown topics towards a college student; not realizing it would affect their entire future. Most of my friends have this common idea that if they open a credit card, that they’ll spend uncontrollably which I agree is true since it’s basically free money to spend and not realizing you have to look at how much you owe until the end of the month. And this leads them to consider not opening any credit cards at all. This I consider is a terrible decision to make right off the bat since most don’t realize that a credit history is needed if you want to borrow money for something such as a car loan or home mortgage long into the future. Paying utility bills and such in your own name might give you a history but having a high income with no credit history is not going to get any decent size credit limit one might expect, for example $500 to start.
Therefore, I try to make a point to everyone I know to open a credit card if they don’t have one, especially if they’re in college. Being in college gives you one of the best perks to open a credit card from some of these reasons I believe credit card companies look at:
Some of these reasons seem pretty terrible from any standpoint but what happens when you’re out of college? The first point is disappears since they won’t know how you will spend and can’t predict the second point as well. The third point is less likely as you get older cause who would be willing to ask their parents when they also have student loans under their heads.
