Busy. Yep, people are all busy. Each day we all see people in a hurry who have important things to do and important places to be. We can all easily get caught up in our own stuff and totally lose sight everything else around us.Today I went through security at the Austin airport at 5:30 AM. The line was surprisingly long for the early hour, and everyone was dutifully lined up to complete the travelers ...

Sate your afternoon sugar cravings with a dead-easy chocolate cake recipe that only requires hot chocolate mix, flour, an egg, cooking spray, and oil (all stuff you've got in your pantry anyway). Grab the biggest microwavable coffee mug you've got in your cupboard, and cover the inside with cooking spray. Mix up four tablespoons of flour and nine tablespoons of hot chocolate mix, then throw in three tablespoons of water and oil and one egg. ...

I did this, but instead of hot chocolate mix, I used 3T cocoa and 6T sugar. It turned out great.

sounds like Maria Bamford's joke about being a temp missing out on the office cake and making her own out of creamers and coco mix.

Considering how internet savvy my grandparents totally ARE NOT I'm kind of surprised that they're the first people who told me about this. They used baking cocoa instead of hot chocolate mix though, and they seemed to think it was quite good. Might depend on the mug though.

“What is indie cinema?” asks Richard Vine at The Guardian. He runs though a brief history of Indiewood, notes that the London Film Festival put Azazel Jacobs, Barry Jenkins and Joe Swanberg on a panel promoting a new wave of truly independent filmmaking, and then rhetorically wonders if his initial question is irrelevant: But is indie a meaningful term anymore, or is it just shorthand for “cool”, “edgy” or “offbeat”? Does it matter if the ...

The harsh political season has spawned a new round of attack ads from marketers. Campbell's and Progresso are sparring over MSG. Dunkin' is doing the taste-test thing to Starbucks. And in the best campaign of the genre, Apple continues to attack Microsoft. Who should attack and when? In general, the leader should never attack or name the competition. Instead the leader should promote the category. By attacking a competitor or responding to an attack ad, ...

You already know that with a little URL-hacking, you can skip to a certain time in YouTube clip embedded on your blog. Now you can do the same within the comments on a clip at the YouTube site. The TechCrunch blog describes how: To specify a point, append a tag to the end of your video link with the following syntax: “#t=1m45s” (you can change the numbers before the ‘m’ and ’s’ to edit the ...

It’s been a long time since I blogged anything meaningful. When I first started this blog, it was primarily for HOTorNOT communication. Once we sold HOTorNOT, I didn’t really have anything to write about. Truth is, I’m not sure anyone even reads this blog anymore since I moved it off of HOTorNOT’s servers and to a different address. If this post seems less coherent than previous ones, it's because I used to write and rewrite ...

硬盘越来越大，分区也越来越多了。新买回来的硬盘，第一件事一般都是分区了。 你是否发现，大多数人的分区都不是一个整数，比如20G的分区往往都是19.9*G的。 第一次遇到这个问题的时候，我也觉得很奇怪，因为无论输入1000M还是1024M的倍数，都无法得出整数的分区。 网上有个流传很广的公式：M=(G-1)*4+1024*G，据说利用这个就能得到整数分区，但实际结果是越大越不准。 今天看到一个分区计算器，通过这个小工具，可以轻松获得整数的分区。 分好的整数分区如图： 我在虚拟机上简单的测试了一下，包括FAT32和NTFS格式，都能得到整数分区。 使用方法很简单，输入你需要的分区大小，单位是G哦。然后选择分区格式，最后点计算即可。 剩下就是使用分区软件按照计算结果分区了。 分区的危险较大，所以我不建议单纯为了好看重新分区，除非你备份了所有资料。 这里有篇文章（包括评论部分）详细讲了整数分区技巧，推荐看看。 下载（10K）：eHost | 来自软件生活 | 纳米盘 | live-share | box | MyBloop | easy-share PS：fs2you越来越不好用了，还是namipan相对稳定啊。 可能还感兴趣 简易硬盘测速软件 - HD_Speed (10) 把硬盘LED灯放到系统托盘 - Hard Disk Indicator (4) 广泛使用的硬盘测试软件 - HD Tune Pro (12) 评论shawn在2008-09-12发表评论：Rayfile 挺好用的，只是 Peer.exe 和 PeerAdapter.exe 这两个进程会常驻系统，而且有时候要干扰其它程序的下载速度。可以使用绿色版，但是不是那个单文件版。最后可以写个批处理在下载完 Rayfile 以后运行一下。MoontoC在2008-09-12发表评论：无聊软件,你用pq分吧, 1gb = 1026m 我保你全整数jason在2008-09-12发表评论：Orz其实这软件没啥用ZH CEXO在2008-09-12发表评论：这软件搞人，没那个必要吧， :eek:Black-Xstar在2008-09-12发表评论：其实我用Acronis Disk Director Suite分的，已经就是整数了。Black-Xstar在2008-09-12发表评论：我现在都无法直接上传啦 :shock:任平生在2008-09-13发表评论：这小东西可以发到小众~~~ :lol:schuen在2008-09-13发表评论：無所謂分的這麼仔細了Chris.Ro在2008-09-13发表评论：我的深度安装光盘有个选项.. 一键自动分四个区.!Yacca在2008-09-13发表评论：为了美观 下次全格的时候计算下 哈哈别用鼠标点我在2008-09-13发表评论：很久以前我写过关于这个的，其实是有个公式的，自己算下就好。别用鼠标点我在2008-09-13发表评论：忘了说句：中秋快乐！Black-Xstar在2008-09-13发表评论：那个似乎公式不准确。 谢谢，中秋快乐。不常识在2008-09-13发表评论：视觉洁癖者适用——比如我。下次换硬盘找回此文。9loong在2008-09-14发表评论：很好，很实用@！~~~ :cool:ShyNloc在2008-09-14发表评论：中秋快乐！月饼节快乐！团圆节快乐！睡到自然醒blog在2008-09-15发表评论：呵呵，也没必要这么精确吧 :mrgreen:微风博客在2008-09-18发表评论：等到想用这个软件的时候发现目前正在装机中，软件还在硬盘里。微风博客在2008-09-18发表评论：其实多多少少无所谓的事情pallet在2008-09-25发表评论：最精确硬盘分区的算法如下： 硬盘一般有255磁头，63扇区，故每柱面大小为： 512byte x 255 x 63＝8225280bytes ＝7.84423828125 MB ...
