Internets?

2010-12-07T14:42:00.003-07:00

What, exactly, is the Internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a "modem " can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo. This is called "logging on," and once you are "logged on," you can move the "pointer" of your "mouse" to a "hyperlink" and, simply by "clicking" on it, change your "pointer" to an "hourglass." Then you can go to "lunch," and when you come back, there, on your computer screen, as if by magic, will be at least 14 advertisements related to Beanie Babies (which currently are the foundation of the entire world economy). This entire process takes place in less time than it takes for a sperm whale to give birth to twins.

BlockSite

2010-04-28T10:33:00.003-06:00

If you need to block a site permanently and your "BlockSite" program doesn't seem to catch it (some sites will re-route to get around these) there is a sold but longer process to do it. You edit the "hosts" file in your system files to route certain URLs back to your own computer. And unless you are hosting the site you are trying to block, you will never see it again!

I suggest getting Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) because it will keep your files loaded even after you reboot your computer, this way you can find the "hosts" file again quickly.

Hit +E (opens a folder, usually your "My Computer" folder) and navigate your way to:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts - Win7, but i think it is the same for XP too!

You will see a number of lines with a # in front of them, these are for commenting purposes i am guessing (anything after a # will not get read by the computer when running the "hosts" file to block the sites.) After all the lines add a few blank lines then type:

127.0.0.1 blockthis.com
127.0.0.1 blockanother.com
127.0.0.1 andanother.com

These lines tell your browser to look for XXXXXXXX.com at 127.0.0.1 and since 127.0.0.1 is your computer, and the browser will not find anything at XXXXXXXX.com.

Mayflower Descendant

2010-04-14T14:58:00.003-06:00

My mom is a descendant of Francis Cooke and his son John Cooke, Stephen and Elizabeth Hopkins through Damaris Hopkins (second daughter of the same name who was born in America, their first was on the Mayflower but died after they got to America). My dad is a descendant of Edward and Elizabeth Winslow. That makes 6 on the Mayflower for me and my kids.

View a Base 64 Image

2009-10-09T15:34:00.006-06:00

WITH OUT STINKING JAVASCRIPT!!
1) Create a HTML file on the desktop (any plain text file that you save with a .html extension)

2) Open for edit with your favorite plain text editor

3) Use this code (nothing else needed):
<img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAA...AElFTkSuQmCC"/>
(Of course you must supply your own garbage after the "base64," part)

4) Save the file, open the HTML file from the desktop in FireFox!!!

IPConfig Renew

2009-10-05T16:35:00.003-06:00

If you work in an office or other place that uses a local network where other people will create "Virtual Machines" (VMs) you might have found yourself trying to access a network drive and running into problems. This usually happens when a VM is created, given a dynamic IP then closed with out properly disconnecting from the network. The Network sees that is it no longer using the IP and makes it available again. You come into work and sign in. Since that IP is not in use the network assigns that IP to you and you go about your business. Then, Bob comes back into the office, restarts his VM (remember it was only closed and not logged off of the network so the VM thinks it is still one continuous session, and why would anyone grab it's IP while it was in use?!?) so he goes about doing his thing on his VM which happens to be using the same IP you were just assigned. Now 2 different computers are using the same IP which means the network doesn't know who to send the information back to and will cause weird problems. There are a few things you can do: reboot your computer, go tell Bob to reboot his VM (sometimes it is hard to find out who's VM is using the IP and sometimes they have a few running at the same time and not sure which is using what IP), etc...

In XP you can go into your "Network Connections", right-click on your "Local Area Connection" and chose repair, but in Vista and Windows7 this has been "New and Improved" meaning, it doesn't exist (or at least really really hard to find). But there is hope!! You can still run some DOS commands to do this for you. Go into the "Windows" menu (Used to say "Start", now just the Windows Logo) click "Run..." and type: cmd

This will bring up a DOS screen, complete with a prompt. In the prompt type: ipconfig /release
(yes that was a <space> before the <slash>, and it is the HTML slash not the DOS slash)

This will basically release your IP back to the network and leave you kind of stranded for a few seconds. Now you need to type: ipconfig /renew

This will tell the network you want a new IP. You should be al set to access everything as normal until Bob starts his other VM back up and steals your IP from you again... GAH!!
(Sometimes the network tries to assign you an IP that is already in use, I dont know why, but it will throw an error in the DOS screen and sometimes in the Windows desktop, oh well, just do this procedure again, should only happen on rare occasions.)
(There is also an easy way to have Windows do this for you:
1. Open a TXT editor (Notepad++ is my choice but anything that can do plain text will work, even Notepad (the same one in the start menu). If you refuse to use anything but Word, make sure you know how to save as plain text)
2. Enter these lines exactly:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

3. Save to the desktop as: RenewIP.bat
(Use any other name you want, but it MUST have the .bat extension)

4. Double click the BAT file you just made, or drop it in your "Quick Launch" and click it once. (Windows7 doesn't do the "Quick Launch" bar anymore, but there are ways around it.)

"Confirm Setting Cookie" Dialog workaround

2009-09-20T23:27:00.003-06:00

I noticed with the new install of FireFox 3.5 that the ability to work behind a "Confirm Setting Cookie" dialog has been lost. FireFox has made this dialog "modal" meaning that if you see one of these dialogs you are locked into answering the question before FireFox lets you do anything else.

I use an addon called CookieSafe (specifically CS-Lite, a bare bones version of CookieSafe) to manage my cookies. In FireFox 3.0, I would allow cookies globally for a few sites then disable them after I set to allow those sites. Sometimes I would leave it on "Allow Cookies Globally" and then go to a site I didn't need a cookie. Sometimes it is easy to decide, and I click "Deny". But other times I am not sure if it is a legit 3rd party cookie and don't want to confirm or deny so I will just close that particular dialog only to have it followed by the same exact dialog, but I am not given enough time to switch CS back to "Deny Globally" before another pops up. Some sites will ask you infinitely to allow the cookie before doing anything. In the older versions of FireFox this was not a big issue because I could just go down to CS and switch the settings. But with the "New and Improved" FireFox you can not do anything until you have answered the dialog. SUPER IRRITATING!!

Here is the workaround:
Open up a second FireFox window and switch CS in that second window. Close that new window, then go back to the first one and you will see that CS is switched there too. Now, just close the dialog and continue with your business.

Pairing Bluetooth crap SUCKS! !

2009-08-04T14:47:00.003-06:00

I have a few bluetooth headsets, and today I was trying to pair my Plantronics Voyager 520. I read 5 or 6 instructions on how to do it and they all said "Turn the device on and place it in discovery mode". So, I turn it on and try all sorts of combinations of hold for seconds and double clicks and crap and nothing makes it "blink blue and red" to indicate discovery mode. I think maybe it is something in the phone, and cant see anything that i can do differently. I finally stumble on how to "re-connect" the headset, it says:

turn the headset off then
"hold and KEEP HOLDING"
the button until it blinks blue and red.

It takes about 7 seconds but it works, just remember you have to start from the headset off to put it back into discover mode. hope this helps someone ;)

Print a list of your DIR (Folder)

2009-05-22T14:47:00.003-06:00

Have you ever needed to send a list of files you have in a particular folder? There is always the "copy-and-paste-each-filename-one-at-a-time" way...
Here is another way to do it:

dir /b > output.txt

OK... that doesn't help many people that would be looking this up, only those that already know how to do it and forgot the syntax. Here is how you use that line effectively.

1. open the folder you want to list.
2. copy the address. (c:\my_stuff\stuff\)
3. open a DOS terminal.
4. If the prompt says C:\>_ (and your folder is in the C:\ drive) skip to #5, but if it says H:\>_ (or another letter than the root of your folder) follow the next few steps.
4a. Find the folder's root drive letter ('C' is your MAIN partition, but you might need D, E, F, G, etc... our example, c:\my_stuff\stuff\, uses 'C')
4b. Type the root letter, then a colon, then a space and 'cd', cd means "Change Directory" (like this):
c: cd

4c. hit the "Enter" button
4d. Right-Click in the space next to your new prompt C:\>_, select Paste, you should still have the address from step #2 (you cant hit CTRL+V, it will show weird symbols)
4e. Hit enter

5. at the prompt (C:\>_) type:
dir /b > output.txt ... then hit enter
6. Go back to your folder in normal view, and you will see a new TXT file called "output", w00t! ! !
7. If you want to be brave, change 'output' in step #5 to something else, you will get a different named TXT file.

Youtube on Ubuntu?!?

2009-01-17T01:04:00.003-07:00

OK I think I got this down to a science! (we will see...)

*- Install Ubuntu.
*- Open firefox, go to youtube.com, click on the adobe flash link that is where you normally see the video.
*- Download the .tar.gz version, in the list of options, usually the first one (easier if you download it to the desktop).
*- CLOSE FIREFOX AND ALL OTHER BROWSERS! !
*- Find the file you just downloaded right click it and select "extract here"
*- Open the new folder and double click the "flashplayer-installer" icon.
*- Select "Run In Terminal" and follow the instructions (ie. hit ENTER a few times)(It tells you to have the admin remove a file, no need to, but good luck finding it)
*- Open a terminal (Applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal)
*- (It might look like "s@s-desktop:~$ " that will work, you can run this command from the desktop and it will still work fine) Type the following:

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

*- Hit enter and watch it run. Look for errors and stuff, it will pause a few times, be patient. After following the instructions in the terminal you can close it and open firefox and watch youtube videos.

Grub Stage 1.5 … Grub Loading, Please Wait … Error 18

2008-10-13T10:33:00.001-06:00

I got a used DELL from work a couple years ago, they sold it cheap because they were upgrading all their computers, and I used it to play movies for my kids while I was at their mom's house. I decided to take it back home and put Linux on it and let them use that to play online while I was on my regular computer. I had Ubuntu installed on a HDD in my regular tower and swapped out the drives and it didn't work so I decided to wipe the HDD and reinstall Ubuntu. The install went smooth and it ejected the CD and said hit Enter. I hit enter and the computer rebooted and said:

Grub Stage 1.5

Grub Loading, Please Wait
Error 18

I waited for a while and nothing happened. I rebooted again, and again saw the same message, thinking I might have rebooted too soon before I waited a long time, took a nap for a few hours and came back, it was still in the same state. I read all I could about this error message that seems to only happen to newbies, where the only fix seems to be re-installing the GRUB, but, this is a NEW install... I reinstalled the whole Ubuntu again, nothing. Tried making a separate partition, said the partition was too small, so I redid it from scratch again, nope. A lot of people were getting results from doing something in the BIOS, my BIOS had nothing close to what they were changing to fix their problem. I was thinking maybe the HDD I had was too big for the motherboard, so I took it out and looked, it was a 30gig made in 2000 and the original was a 80gig made in 2003. I was thinking I was going to have to wipe the original HDD and put Ubuntu on that but there was no guarantee it would work. Then I got an idea, switch the pins in the HDD from "Cable Select" to "15 Cylinder Master" (there was a choice for 16 Cylinder but the Error 18 seemed to be saying the BIOS was expecting a lower number) guess what, the DELL booted as if Ubuntu was native to the system!

I posted this hoping it might help someone somewhere who tried all the other suggestions and still couldn't get their system working.

Flying Moose

2008-03-31T17:19:00.003-06:00

Pogo Moose Incident - Fairbanks, Alaska --- 'They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem. He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly peeved!'

Lost Bookmarks in FireFox

2008-03-16T22:30:00.004-06:00

Too many times have I lost my bookmarks in Firefox, and after reading about how you can uninstall, do a bunch of geeky tech stuff, reinstall, do some more geeky tech stuff, I remembered that all you need to do is find your "bookmarkbackups" folder and use the built-in feature of importing your bookmarks from a file in Firefox. The folder can be found somewhere like:

C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your Name>>\Application Data\Mozilla\
Firefox\Profiles\<<some random stuff>>.default\bookmarkbackups\

Copy that address and open Firefox. In the dropdown menus click: "Bookmarks>>Organize Bookmarks...", this will pop-up your "Bookmarks Manager". In here, dropdown: "File>>Import...", select "From File", click "Next", paste the address into the "Filename" box then select the HTML that had your most recent list of bookmarks. The HTML files are named according to the date it was saved ("bookmarks-2008-03-16.html" would have been saved March 16, 2008, but if it IS March 16, you might want March 15, the 16th one might have saved the non-existence of the bookmarks)

I hope this helped out someone out there in the blog-o-sphere, I know I will need this again in the future when I forgot what to do. Now that you have saved your skin know this, there are 3rd party programs that let you save your bookmarks and stuff either on your computer or online, get one of them, it will save heartache in the future.

OK, here is the scenario:
You go into a elementary school and beat up a kid because he threatened to burn down your house. As you are leaving, his friend calls you stupid. He is in the 3rd grade but, you can't leave being called a "stupid", so you turn around and go beat him up. You try to leave again, and another boy yells "stupid", so... you go beat him up too. After a while, you have beaten up a whole spit load of kids, but more come after you and call you stupid, and since you can not be seen as weak, letting a group of 3rd graders call you stupid, you stay and continue to beat up as many 3rd graders as call you stupid. Once you leave you know your friends will laugh that you let 3rd graders chase you out of the school, so you stay and continue to stay until every last kid there stops calling you stupid, even 6 years later, and the 3rd graders you are now beating up were not even born when you beat up that first kid who never was able to get your house burnt because he didn't really have any matches. This is how Fred Thompson sees it:

Video on YouTube

2007-10-04T20:41:00.000-06:00

I put up a collection of videos I had saved and not doing anything. Mostly of me and Wei in Las Vegas messing around in the skatepark. I put in some other stuff like Mei doing the Haka, my dad reading a book to Meilani. I did the video mostly just so I could upload a pretty dang cool song called "Drangkinbala" by Blekbala Mujik, a Reggae/Aboriginal band from Australia. Click below and ENJOY!

Here is a jacket and hat my dad got for Meilani. My computer crashed a while back and I have been slow to get back into uploading pics. Meilani is looking less like a baby and more like a girl now, still cute too. I have a ton of pictures that I took during this "photo shoot" but I had to cut it down to these.

Hobo in my Bed

2006-10-02T05:14:00.000-06:00

Here is a picture of a spider I found in my bed, I thought it was a Brown Recluse, but after looking for pictures I decided it looked more like a Hobo, either way, I am glad I woke up in the middle of the night. I flushed it down the toilet before I looked on the net to see the pics so I didnt get a better look, but google hobo spider and see if I am right.

Offroad show

2006-04-28T23:09:00.000-06:00

We went down to the Offread Show to see Tommi Ahvala ride Motorcycle trials. It was pretty fun and Wei loved it. I was picked from the croud to be the Bunnyhop dummy, the guy that lays there as Tommi jumps you. They made a big deal of it and I played along, pretending I was scared and nervous. (that picture is not me)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Then we walked around and looked at the trucks and stuff, and Wei played on the rock climbing tower. There was a cool Spiderman truck with huge wheels, and a VW bug turned into a 3-wheeler motorcycle.

Jacob Robertson delivers his own baby

2006-04-06T19:30:00.000-06:00

Subject: Jezri Ineka Syara Robertson
Born: ? Friday, March 31, 2006 ?

A note we received from Jacob (In Kansas City) Friday evening

We had a very exciting evening here at home. Where Jezri was born.

Jenny had been having contractions 10-20 minutes apart since 3 am, but
then for a half hour, they started coming at 3 minutes all of a sudden.
Then, I started getting the car ready, then Jenny started screaming, I
called 911, and then I delivered our wonderful little girl right there
on the floor of our living room. Steven showed up 2 minutes later to
help with the 911 call and bringing towels, and Jenny is on the way to
the hospital right now in an ambulance. They are both totally fine in
every way, but I will be relieved when they're safely in their maternity
room with 3 nurses bustling around them.

Firebreathing

(CLICK FOR THE ANIMATION):

Here is me spitting flames:

Here is Andrew, he took too big a mouthful to spit in one breath, but he tried anyway (Usually if it is too much you spit a few smaller ones, but he just tried all at once, at the end he didn't have enough breath to blow it away from his face... We didn't get shots of him on fire, but this shows it touching his goat)

Meilani's Hello Kitty Chinese Outfit

2006-03-10T19:52:00.000-07:00

My mom sent Meilani a couple outfits from Hello Kitty. Here is the blue one. She had a Yellow one too, and it is her favorite, infact she will bring it to me and Wendy to have us put it on. The problem is that the head hole is too small and will not fit, but she is happy with just the skirt. She does this funny face where she grits her teeth and her whole body will shake, this is her doing that face.

Meilani's First Birthday

2006-03-10T19:23:00.000-07:00

On January 28th Meilani turned 1 year old. Since she had so much fun at Chuck E Cheese during Wei's party, we decided to take her back there again. She loves to sit in the rides. If we got her a ride for the house she would be in it the entire time she was awake.

Here is Meilani and her "1 year old" cake and her wearing her HelloKitty outfit.

Wei turns 6!

2006-02-05T06:36:00.001-07:00

On January 11 2006 Wei turned 6 years old. He invited a few friends and we went to Chuck E Cheese for the party. We did the actual pay for the party thing they have set up over there where each kid gets a pizza, some soda, and some coins. Carlos Marcos and Gabe came in with Wally and didn't realize Wally got them some coin tickets and they went back to get some also and got a ton of coins. They used them to score a ton of tickets for Wei and they gave some to TK. TK's brother Jesse was not able to go to the party because he was going to be interviewed by the missionaries for his baptism that weekend.

Here is Chuck and Becky (and some random little girl) helping us sing "Happy Birthday" to Wei, who is impatiently waiting to show us his mad candle blowing skills.

Meilani loves Bathtime

2006-02-05T06:29:00.000-07:00

When ever Meilani hears the bath going, she comes running to play in it. She loves the bath and no matter how long I keep her in, she never want to get out. Even if she has already had a few baths earlier that day, if I get in to take a shower she wants to get in too.

BYU - Utah game (11/19/05)

2005-12-19T22:26:00.000-07:00

Me and the kids were riding our bikes and decided to go listen to the game from outside.

On the way there people were going home just before the half. We go there and it was Utah 24, BYU 3, no chance in 4377 right? Someone sold us 2 3rd row tickets for $15 and so we decided to go in and watch. We got in just before the second half started and watched the most exciting 2nd half in history. BYU forced over time but allowed Utah to get a touchdown in 2 downs and couldn't return the favor. Here is a pic of Wei and Mei at the game.

Stupid Neck Thing

2005-11-10T19:08:00.000-07:00

Ok, I woke up, got ready for work, as I was putting on my pants my neck pinched and I could not stand for over an hour. I was able to get to the phone after about 10 minutes of trying to get up onto my bed wher it was and called into work to let them know what was going on. They let me answer phones when I got in and I tinted a few paint orders but they made Stu drive since I can't turn my head. It still hurts now, but if I grab the back of my neck I can turn it and stuff. Not fun.

Wei breaks his eye

2005-09-28T00:05:00.000-06:00

Wei was playing at his mom's house tonight and fell off an exercise ball and hit the edge of the table. He had to go get 5 stitches in the emergency room. He is OK other than that, and I got a few shots of him and MeiMei.

I love typing

Wei's Soccer Team

So far, they are undefeated. They know how to win. They do summersaults after each goal, too funny to watch.

Start working in new location

I was working in the Midvale (Salt Lake) store for Horizon/Spectra-Tone, but the Orem store's driver quit. They found a replacement driver but he lives in Salt Lake and since I live in Orem, they decided it would be a better swap if I drove for the Orem store.
The Orem store is a lot less busy and sometimes there is absolutely nothing to do. Not to bad. I'll see what happens.

Here is Wei jumping a part of the sidewalk that buckled up a little.

Here is the same picture but with some info to get you a better idea of what is going on. I measured the angle of the sun in comparison to see the height he had. He got some distance between his feet and his pedals as well.

First Blog Post Ever for BillyNair

2005-09-03T01:28:00.000-06:00

The world will never be the same.

I am testing out blogs, to see if this will be a good replacement for what I have used free web hosting places for. Up until a few months ago they slapped a ad-banner on the top of all your pages and left it at that. Then they decided they were going to add a side banner and a bottom banner. The bottom banner, although making it harder to design for is not as much of an evil device as the side banner. These side banners not only show up as 20% of your horizontal screen realestate, it forces your HTML design to get squshed to a significantly smaller size. You can of course close these side banners, but, why should my visitors be forced to interact with my website anymore than necessary.

Anyway, here is my new bolg, I will be posting pictures of me, my kids, and other stuff I feel the rest of the world must be forced to see.
