Money and Relationship

August 25th, 2010 by [re-arrange] 9 comments »

Have you seen this video? Unfortunately this video is in Malay so if you don’t understand it, basically it says that a man (who only sells burger in a stall as his living) has been rejected by his fiancée, a gold-digger bitchy type of woman. The best thing is, this is a recording from our local radio. *facepalm*

Sad. Pathetic. Lose his dignity over a radio call. Hai lah Samad… Samad… kesian….

This got me thinking about money and relationship. My stand; love by itself will not be sufficient for a living. You still need money to buy foods, shelter, and to move around. But…

  1. For men, being pathetic and not improving himself to prove to the world that you can support somebody’s daughter is killer. We need to prove to the world that we are capable of taking care and support somebody’s daughter. And it’s not by providing love by itself.
  2. For women, don’t be too greedy and be a gold digger. It’s so bitchy and make you worthless if you keep going around chasing those “Datuks” or VIP who has a lot in his pocket. World is based on karma; one day you will also be old and not pretty anymore.

That nicely put the conclusions.

Man is a provider. You got to work to earn money so that you won’t live on the street. No matter whether you’re starting your own business or you work for some corporation or other business, the important thing is for you to improve your living condition. You work, you got money. You got money, you can get married and are worthy to be someone’s husband. Enough said.

Woman is the supporter and the caretaker. If your man is having difficulty, say — being sacked; be by his side. His business got some problem, help as much as you can. Help him to rise again. Help motivate him. If you can help a man to be successful in his life, then that’s your indication that you have found somebody that is worthy to be yours. I don’t deny that many women can stand by their own feet nowadays — but you are still being seen as not successful if you haven’t been the reason for one man to achieve his glory.

Relationship is symbiosis. Man might be seen as a powerful figure in this world; he who control the domination, but he is nothing without you, girl. Yes, you might want to give him a lesson, but leaving him for another man gives an impression that you’re too materialistic.

Or maybe that guy is just hopeless? Sounds like it, anyway. *sigh*

I hope that Samad can rise again and be successful in his life. At least Ramly Burger proved that selling burgers is one hell of a good business. McDonalds prove it too. That bitch ain’t worth it.

You know what, Samad? Listen to this song below and dedicate it to her. HAHA laughing

So what do you think? Is the girl a bitch, or is the guy is just hopeless?

P/s: Marriage is an important part of getting ahead: it lets people know you’re not a homo; married guy seems more stable; people see the ring, they think at least somebody can stand the son of a bitch; ladies see the ring, they know immediately you must have some cash and your cock must work. (Guess which movie quote is this? tongue)

Unix Millenium Bug: Y2K38

August 25th, 2010 by [re-arrange] 3 comments »

Picture courtesy to this blog.

I’m going technical today.

Remember the Y2K bug? The one where the date of 1st January 2000 appears to be translated by the computer as 1-1-1900? It happened because of the memory limitation where computer programmers previously only specify the range of date to be up until year 1999. They don’t expect their system to be available until year 2000.

Or so they thought.

Now, this problem might repeat itself on the year 2038. While not jumping into the calculation (you can read more of it on Wikipedia), basically it happened due to the memory limitation of 32-bit. The 32-bit memory calculated the time up until 19th January 2038, then it will reset the value to be a negative number. Picture below explains how it goes (courtesy of Wikipedia – click the picture to see the picture animation):

Solution? Upgrade your system to use 64-bit so that this kind of data can be calculated correctly. That’s the way to do it. This will effect quite a whole lot of applications that is date-sensitive; INCLUDING blogs, forums, and Web 2.0.

If you’re running your own self-hosted WordPress or any websites that capitalize PHP technology, try to run this piece of codes to see if your system is affected. Although most of web hosting is now using 64-bit Linux, well — you’ll never know. I am not sure if this will affect the Windows 32-bit system as well or not (maybe not, since the bug itself is called Unix Millenium Bug).

<?php
$date = ’2040-02-01′;
$format = ‘l d F Y H:i’;
$mydate1 = strtotime($date);
echo ‘<p>’, date($format, $mydate1), ‘</p>’;
?>

Code is courtesy of Tech Times newsletter from Sitepoint.com. Cool stuff. I’ve been reading their newsletters and webpages for so long now, and I’ve learned so much about web programming and other stuffs as well when visiting their sites.

So, are you affected? I’m not, luckily winking

Changelog: rearrange-inc.com

August 23rd, 2010 by [re-arrange] No comments »

I’ve done some changes to this blog to accommodate more functionality and to clean up the databases and files. Security has been tighten, performance-wise has also been improved due to the migration of the server. Changelog as below for my own reference:

1- Hosting is now using ServerFreak

As stated in the previous EMO post, my previous hosting gives me problems a lot from the uptime, accessibility, and server stability. So no more cheap hosting without the proper functionality!

The matter was made worst when they revert my files prior to posting the Inception post below. Suddenly the post was reverted and lost in just 5 minutes of posting, just because I ping it to Twitter and Facebook? WTF!

So that’s about it. I moved to ServerFreak now. Better client support, better performance, better functionality, a bit expensive from previous hosting but very worth it. And it’s not that expensive either way, only RM140 per year for both domain name and hosting.

2 – Use 1-click Retweet/Share/Like plugin, remove the Random Quote plugin, more Nuffnang.

See the sidebar? No more random quotes like before. I decided to remove that plugins because I lost the tables of it. Damn! Even though I can rebuilt and search for new quotes, I just don’t feel like it for now. So… sorry!

But I added the 1-click retweet/share/like plugin. See the bottom of the post? If you want to like or share the post now, it’s easy! Yeay! (and the plugin produces a good looking buttons too. Nice! big grin)

And I decided to use the poll plugins from Nuffnang. See the new polls in the sidebar now? The orange one? PLEASE feel free to click it. At least I know better what are the things you guys like and wanted me to post moar tongue

Added the top header ads, sidebar ads, and square ads. The square ads only visible if you see the comments, so I don’t think its too much intrusive. Just worried about the header ads though; please give me feedback of how it looks likes once it appear.

(Oh. Feel free to click the ads too. HEHEHEHE tongue)

Pending Task:

1) Add more banner ads on the sidebar. Need to tweak the theme since it only gives four pre-defined template and left a lot of space below. Sigh.Not only that, need to select proper affiliate ads or banner that is useful. Don’t want to put those cialis/viagra type of ads. Acai berry pun cannot!!! tongue

2) Target of adding another one follower in NetworkedBlog. Now I got 19 follower, if can add another 1, additional functionality and statistics will be available from NetworkedBlog. Dying to see how good (or bad) it is.

3) Auto-publish to other social networks. Need to register for additional API and configuration stuffs. Still thinking whether to do it or not since my article and posts are not… that good to be shared. HAHA tongue

4) Figure out if I can monetize the blog in more ways without having to annoy my current readers. Most prolly won’t be able to figure out though. HAHAHAHAH tongue
