nukeNo, this isn’t about George Bush or Saddam Hussein. This is only about a dream. So don’t track me down, FBI. :D

In this dream, I was living in a high-rise with my parents. It was around 8PM during Summer as we had our windows wide opened, and I was on the floor watching TV. And suddenly, I heard a loud noise coming from the sky. I looked up, and at first, it appeared to a stealth plane since it was afar. A few moments after, however, it looked like a gigantic black missile with three fins protruding from the two-third length of its body. Something told me it was a nuke.

Before it hit the ground, I thanked my mother for raising me this far, and I think the ol’ man was standing on the veranda smoking his last one. It hit a few miles away. I’d see the flames rushing towards us as it engulfed everything in its path, and I’d actually feel its heat intensifying as it got closer.

printerQuite suddenly,  Windows XP coulld not communicate with my trusted old HP LaserJet 5P printer, which I bought over 12 years ago.  I  was stumped as I never had any problems like this before.  To rule out hardware failure, I printed a test page from the printer itself, and it printed it out fine.  Since Windows did detect it, it’s not the cable, either.  Obviously, it was the driver; however, when I tried re-installing it, I kept getting an error saying “Unable to Install Printer: Operation Could Not Be Completed.”  I gave up as it was getting close to midnight.

Too bad, really… ;) I’d have been a good husband and an excellent parent. Good parenting is knowing when to be your child’s best friend who just listens from his or her level and without judgments. Respect is the key as it is in every relationship. Don’t think they’re your own personal slaves just because you gave them life; no matter how young they are, they’re individuals as any adults.

I was quite pleased that neurologist agreed to see me in every 2 month the last time I saw him. I had an appointment on the 20th which had to be canceled because of an insurance issue. Continue reading ‘Delayed Appointment’ »

I agree with Turnip that EntreCard is failing to be an effective advertising service.  No one, myself included, clicks the advertisement on their widget anymore since we can just use our inbox to drop for credits.  As for the traffic, it’s mostly from the same people over and over again… so what’s the point?

I mess with my database directly quite often via phpMyAdmin; consequently, I make mistakes as much. In most cases, I end up with orphaned comments which can’t be easily managed within WordPress. Continue reading ‘WordPress: How to Delete Orphaned Comments’ »

I’ve been browsing several job sites, such as Monster.com, for DBA positions, and most of the requirements are way over my head.  Some of the technologies they listed are things that I haven’t even heard of before, and I just don’t have enough experience in the field I studied for in school.
