Raise your hand if you still think you can’t upgrade macs….come on raise your hand…I know there are still people who think that. Well guess what, I just upgraded my mac again. I upgraded my processor this time, from a single G4 466Mhz to a dual G4 1.3GHz (overclock to 2GHz maybe?).

Now put your hands down and say “I was wrong, I’m sorry. =( “

Click here to see Jessica Alba as Invisible woman, Ioan Gruffudd as Mr. Fantastic, Chris Evans as The Human Torch, and Michael Chiklis as The Thing. The Thing looks great and I like the Fantastic Four costume, can’t wait to see this movie.

I don’t think I mention the little upgrade I did for our blog/rant system. Before I get into that, let me say the coding and design behind Applegeeks was done by me. I would get emails asking where can they download the source code for the rant system. I would release the code but the structure is horrible. The whole back end was built from scratch, basically I was still teaching myself PHP and mySQL. I really need to find the time and redo the whole back end.

When I created the rant system, it was a pretty simple setup. We would enter a new entry, the entry would get saved into the mySQL database and the main page will display the newest entry. The one thing I didn’t think about was, what if we were to post more than one entry in a day? So we ended up editing the recent entry with the word “Update” and added any new text. That got the work done but it was very lame. So for months I wanted to fix that problem but never got myself to do it. After kicking my own ass, I updated the rant system so it handles multiple entries in a day for each user.

If you look below, you will see “Other News”. It will display all the entries I submitted the whole day, the entry title and the time. I’m hoping this will help us and keep things organized on the main page.

Yeah, about that waking up and ranting….I lied. I overslept this morning, but luckily my brother woke me up just in time. Now I’m back from campus and I’m brain dead. I have so much to do, but I have no idea where to start.

Deaf kids in Nicaragua were put together in aschool and given no formal education …apparently they invented their own, complex signlanguage. Researchers are observing them.

Here’s the link.
