Dealing with Pointers and Files on C

I had this machine exercise on my EEE11 class, and boy, I am dealing with file I/O and pointers. Our lecture professor had discussed a little about pointers, and for the past two meetings we hadn't had a lecture class. Our lab instructor wasn't there last week, and so she gave us the machine exercise which will be checked this coming Tuesday.

Since I had no idea about opening files in C programming I had to do some research from my notes and my friends. Luckily they answered 2 out of 3 parts of the problem. The last one, well they'll be needing more help. After my research and coding I was able to finish all three parts, but I don't like the way I solved part three.

Internet Trick: Use Google's Search Engine to Quickly Search for Definitions

Update June 2, 2011 "define:[word]" has been changed to "define [word". Results will not appear the same as below.

If you haven't got the idea yet, Google is my favorite and recommended search engine. I use Google simply because I find it faster to search in the Internet. Pages load really fast in Google, unlike some search engines which loads many things. Google also have many sites stored in its cache. Even my blog is easier to be found in Google than other search engines. And that's why the word "Google-ing" was born.

Computer Trick: How to Hide Files Inside Pictures and Music Using Command Prompt

Just An Ordinary Song, or is it?

This is, as the title depicts, just an ordinary song. Or is it really? To tell you the truth, it isn't, it actually has some kind of secret message written on the song. No you won't hear that message within the song, you would barely even know it's there. And once you're done reading this, you could hide files and find them, and people won't even know the difference.

Kenan and Kel

Kel Loves Orange Soda

Who loves orange soda?

KEL loves orange soda.

Is it true?

Mmmm hmmm... I do, I do, I do, I do-ooooooooooo!!

(rofl) I so missed these!!! It brings back the memories of my childhood TV shows. I don't usually see this kind of crazy (in a good way) stuff in TV, and now, I'm searching my way in the Internet to look for these.

Tightening a Student's Belt

Within just one day, another 500 peso bill slips off my pocket...

Well not literally slipping off but spending off 500 peso bill. As a student in the Philippines, 500 pesos is a big deal. For an average guy, 500 pesos is worth a week allowance. And that's too much for me, especially when a supposed-to-be 1 week allowance turns-into-a 1 day expenditure. Not just that, I more than often spent 500 pesos in 1 day. And I don't like that feeling of losing so much.

I have these ideas (unfortunately not all of them are put in action):

Facebook Fix: Show Posts from Everyone to your News Feeds

Have you ever wondered why people aren't commenting on your posts, or why suddenly you have become "invisible" to other people. Have you also wondered why the people commenting on your posts are the same people commenting on your other posts, or why some people died because he thought nobody cared about him when he was posting sad comments in his page? Well, here's the reason why:

Facebook has implemented a new setting in your feeds which lets you only see posts from friends or pages you recently interacted it. For example, you interacted with people A everyday and just a month ago with people B. Surely you would likely see posts from people A in home feeds and rarely see posts from B. I think Facebook implemented this setting as default so that their servers won't be overloaded with you receiving feeds from everybody.

There are two ways to fix it, though I would recommend the latter one rather than the former:

Facebook Tricks: Facebook in a Secure Page (HTTPS); Facebook Login Alerts; Download Facebook Data

Just recently, I was browsing through my Facebook account because a while ago, I deactivated my Facebook account and now after reactivating all my groups disappeared. According to them, it will come back after several hours. Several hours passed and still no groups appeared on my home page. Anyway I tried searching on the Help Center and here's what I've found: (unfortunately they weren't the ones I needed)

Reviving Childhood Games

The thoughts about reviving childhood games started days ago when France and I were eating at Erlinda's. "I had this weird imagination," I told him. I sometimes incorporate games to my life using my imagination. For example, from the game Jazz Jackrabbit 2, a 1998 PC game, I would imagine having a "Sugar Rush" (in jazz2, you become invulnerable to damage and would seem to move faster for twenty seconds) whenever I feel like moving fast. France seem to remember about Jazz Jackrabbit, because he played Jazz1 and Jazz2 when he was still in grade school. From that moment on, we talked about those really old games.

Gyroscopic Precession, Also a Nice Physics Project

I do hope our Physics professor doesn't see this... Hahahaha

My class in Physics is already in torque and rotational kinematics. Just a while ago she told us to try to explain this kind of "phenomenon" to an ordinary high school student. I haven't answered this yet (because of the approaching exams) so here's what's in it. (If you can answer it, please comment below.)

Computer Tricks: SmartBro Prepaid, Globe Tattoo, Sun Broadband Plug-It Fix

I've been living in a dormitory inside UP Diliman, and as what I've said in the previous post, my internet speed in SmartBro is really slow. Now that Dilnet is available inside Kalayaan Residence Hall's corridors (that's the name of the dorm), internet should be easier but it isn't.

Here are the reasons why:

My Simple Campaign to End Violence in Egypt

It's been more than a week now. What's going on in Egypt??

Concern. It's a very big word, but it's one of the easiest thing to do. Right now I'm very concerned for this country: Egypt. The problem: politics.
