02.21.2010 - New Tool Added!

I just created a tool called the Hash Calculator which basically computes for the hash values of messages. These hash messages are used for encryption. Hope you like it!

02.18.2010 - Jam Session 101

Practiced last night with the band. I tried using the electric violin I borrowed from a friend of mine. The violin sounded well though I had a very hard time hearing the music coming out from it because the speakers were too far away from me and placed overhead. When the entire band starts playing all at once, I get lost most of the time. I rely mostly on hearing the notes coming out from my instrument. Playing an acoustic violin on the other hand helps me hear what I’m playing even though the speakers are far from me. Properly placing a mic for it would be a problem though. Ordinary mics don’t capture the vibration of the violin’s body. Condenser mics are used instead which doesn’t come cheap.

On the lighter side though, I got a glimpse of the band member’s profiles. I mean, I got to know some of them in an acquaintance way. Some of them were from support centers. Others were from the medical allied studies. Some were from the distribution/logistics of PSPs! Some were from the same field as I am which is IT (Information Technology). So… that’s what IT really stands for!! Some are working as instructors/trainors in gyms, while others are from medical allied studies then shifted to an engineering type of work (drafting).

Funny though when you listen to them perform their part, a different story is being unfolded before you. Some perform wildly. Others sing while others sing and dance. Some suddenly drops confidence while others improve on what they do. Others just do it like no one’s watching. I don’t know about some but for me, listening and watching every performer translate a song on their own version always leaves me an overwhelming feeling of wonder or admiration especially when the performer breathes/feels what they’re doing.

No band practice this weekend. I need to practice on my own this weekend lah! Hahaha!

02.15.2010 - Hello World!!

Belated CNY and Valentine's to all. Just transferred hosting! The entire site is running in good performance now. Transferring to a new hosting provider is like having a bad breakup. :p

I just joined a band here at Singapore and well, we're gonna jam at a bar this coming 24th. It's a combination of Filipino and Singaporean musicians. I'll be playing the strings which reminds me that I need to practice!! Wohooo!!!

On the night before Valentines, I took the train ride home. I never took a seat even though there was a vacant seat just 4 feet away from me. A lady instead occupied it. Then after a minute or two, she just suddenly stood up and started heading for another vacant seat. I quickly wondered why she suddenly transferred seat. So I look back at her seatmates and tried determining what's wrong with her seatmates. Looking at them in a not-so-obvious-manner... The one on the right seems normal. The one on the left... well... my not-so-obvious-manner became oh-so-obvious-can't-hide-that-smile-anymore suddenly! I saw a key turning and started to float on it's own. Wahahahahaha!!! The one on the left was a street magician!!!! I couldn't help but smile and just couldn't believe my eyes!! I knew I had to move closer to get a very good view. He switched from one magic to another. I was like a kid opening his first PSP! To make the story short, the entire 20 minute ride was awesome!!
