Two After Noon

Another fine fine video by WongFu.

How would you spend an unexpected pocket of time with a stranger? Two After Noon revolves around the idea that two people can be thrown together, be attracted to one another, and connect on a meaningful level-- but still not end up together. That may sound like a tragic notion at first, but that's only if you interpret it as an ending. There are no real beginnings and endings; instead, everything is continuous and ongoing. There are so many things in our lives that are indefinite. Finding love and companionship certainly fit into that category.

Safety net

Be someone who love to explore and see new things. The world have plenty of things to offer. When things get rough, I know that there is He who always offers me protection. Maybe through this curtain airbag.

Enjoy the journey.

Beautiful

The best camera is the one that's with you. Most of the time, its my camera phone.

I took a picture of this flower this morning just before I got into my office. I just use the standard camera app that came with my HTC Vision (TMobile G2), and do minor enhancement with Camera Zoom FX. What I did is just bump up the contrast and saturation, then added the round corner. Check out the After and Before comparison below.

git commands I need to know

For those who want to begin using git,

I consider these git commands to be essential:

git status
git log
git clone
git init
git add
git rm
git branch
git rebase
git fetch
git pull
git push
git log
git diff
git merge
git mergetool
git reflog
git remote
git reset
git checkout
git tag
git commit

They are not in order. I'm just picking it up randomly from my brain.

Genius

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them,

disagree with them,

glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

TRIM Line Breaks & Carriage Return on MySQL

The TRIM() function on MySQL remove leading and trailing spaces. But what if you want to remove line break / carriage return?

Its not pretty, but this works for me:

REPLACE(FIELD_NAME, '\r\n','')

Usage example:

Select FIELD_NAME
From TABLE
Where REPLACE(FIELD_NAME, '\r\n','')='NOLINEBREAK'

It will download an update, ask for reboot and shows an installation progress bar during the usual Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 splash screen. The whole installation takes about 15 minutes, and voilà, three-point-one!
