			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h5>
Currently just came back from Korea<br />
Currently is too sleepy<br />
</h5>
<p><img src="http://edo.nierchi.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/har.jpg" alt="" title="" width="500" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1678" /></p>
<p>I came back from at 3am yesterday. I had a job interview in KL, and I was dead tired from all the driving. I reached home, my cat was waiting for me. Looking at my innocently, and followed me all the way to the kitchen. She&#8217;s hungry, obviously. There was no one at home, my mom and bro went out of town.</p>
<p>Yes, I had the house for myself; I could bring girls back home even if I want to and have sex in the kitchen. Rite.</p>
<p>So, I went to sleep after that ( of course, after checking my emails and random online chat ).</p>
<p>Then I had this intense Korean drama running in my head while I was sleeping. I was SO INTENSE that I refuse to wake up. I have no class on that day anyway, so I continued to sleep. Sleep is good, and I&#8217;ve been lacking of sleep lately. So, sleep. The Korean drama in my head was good.</p>
<p>I woke up somewhere around 4pm. Lol, that was too long. Oh come on, the Korean drama in my head was too good.</p>
<p>AND THAT&#8217;S THE REASON I MISSED THE WHOLE SHITSTORM REGARDING THE IMAGE UP THERE. DAMN!</p>
<p>Apparently someone in LowYat forum took a picture from my blog about me holding &#8220;someone else&#8217;s&#8221; PS3 in &#8220;someone else&#8217;s&#8221; house, and call me a sohai. ./facepalm. The admin removed the thread before I could even see it. I had to crawl on random online caches to read it. It was dumb and&#8230; dumb. Lol. Oh, I missed the fun, I wish i was there. I was literally laughing out loud at how dumb the thread was. Too bad it didn&#8217;t get as good as my attempt to rickroll the whole ACG community to make them actually believe that we are having the next GACC in Kompleks Pasar Payang @ Terengganu ( you won&#8217;t believe the amount of people who actually believed in it. Heh ).</p>
<p><strong>THAT. I BLAME THE KOREANS!</strong> </p>
<p>If they didn&#8217;t put up a good show in my head, I would have woke up earlier AND see the thread for myself. Damn, you Koreans! Damn.</p>
<h6>
PS: This Korean drama I&#8217;m talking about is &#8220;IRIS&#8221;. It&#8217;s so awesome that it haunts you to your bed, and it&#8217;s not even a ghost story.<br />
PS2: Someone hates me. I&#8217;m sad.<br />

<p>Ignored my blog for awhile, busy with work lately and I can&#8217;t spend much time blogging about stuff. Life is not miserable, it has been quite happening lately. Just, no time to blog about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re using Exabytes web hosting, their new important changes might effect your mail life a lot. Here&#8217;s except from the mail that I&#8217;ve received:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Dear Kheirul Aizat,</p>
<p>1. Email forwarding to Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail and other popular free<br />
email provider</p>
<p>1.1. We will no longer permit email forwarding from your hosted email<br />
account to any of the free email service providers (e.g.<br />
tm.net.my,streamyx.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com, aol.com,<br />
rocketmail.com and so on) or any online groups (e.g. Google groups and<br />
Yahoo groups) in our shared hosting mail server.</p>
<p>1.2. This is due to free email service provider has applied more<br />
strict anti-spam policy in their mail server. Due to this issue, if<br />
they detected many of our customers set their email account to forward<br />
a copy of the email to the free email service providers. If the<br />
account have a lot of email being send to the account, all the email<br />
will be forwarded to his or her free email account and instead of<br />
Yahoo detect it as an email, it detect the forwarding as attack on the<br />
free email account.  Due to that issue, the service provider will<br />
block us from sending email to their email account.</p>
<p>1.3. Unfortunately, even though we are not responsible for this spam,<br />
these service providers noted have repeatedly been blacklisting our<br />
mail servers, causing legitimate email to be blocked.</p>
<p>1.4. In order provide a smooth email transaction between our mail<br />
server and those email service providers, we decided to disallowed<br />
customer from forward their email to the email service provider.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Gah! So, I can&#8217;t make my hosting forward my mails to my gmail anymore. Fine.</p>
<p>Thank GOD Google is awesome. Instead of asking my hosting to forward my mails, I just ask Google to &#8220;fetch&#8221; my mails.</p>
<p><a href="http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=21288">Click here for more.</a></p>
<p>You can check your POP settings, in your Cpanel > Email Accounts > Configure Mail Client. You find something like this:</p>
<div class="img alignnone size-full wp-image-703" style="width:500px;">
	<img src="http://edo.nierchi.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/mailsetup.gif" alt="" width="500" height="294" />
	<div>mailsetup</div>
</div>
<p>After you set it up, make sure you turn off your hosting forwarding settings, then test it out. It should work.</p>

PS: /worship Google<br />

Currently cheating in C&amp;C3</h5>
<p>I&#8217;m a Hayao Miyazaki fan. I love all his work especially My Neighbor Totoro ( I even put Totoro into EMiNA&#8217;s membership card ). But I won&#8217;t go this far like this guy:</p>
<p><img src="http://edo.nierchi.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/miyazakiwannabe.jpg" alt="Miyazaki" /></p>
<p>He&#8217;s cosplaying as Hayao Miyazaki. Speechless. I dunno whether this is stupid or cool, but it is funny to see one, lol. I&#8217;ve seen girls cosplaying as HYDE of L&#8217;arc~en~ciel but the cool factor is there. Maybe Hayao Miyazaki have the &#8220;legendary&#8221; factor. Heh.</p>

Currently TRYING TO STUDY<br />
</h5>
<p>&#8220;Imagine an electronic page for each species of organism on Earth available everywhere by single access on command &#8211; E.O Wilson</p>
<blockquote><p>
The Encyclopedia of Life is a collaborative scientific effort led by the Field Museum of Natural History, Harvard University, Marine Biological Laboratory, Missouri Botanical Garden, Smithsonian Institution, and Biodiversity Heritage Library, a consortium including the core institutions and also the American Museum of Natural History (New York), Natural History Museum (London), New York Botanical Garden, and Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew). Ultimately, the Encyclopedia of Life will provide an online database for all 1.8 million species now known to live on Earth. When completed, http://www.eol.org will serve as a global biodiversity tool, providing scientists, policymakers, students, and citizens information they need to discover and protect the planet and encourage learning and conservation. &#8211; taken from EOL</p></blockquote>
<p>This awesome project is expected to be ready to use by mid 2008. Check it out at <a href="http://www.eol.org/home.html">http://www.eol.org/home.html</a></p>

Currently waiting for something<br />
</h5>
<p>Do you have a powerful computer at home? ( even if you don&#8217;t have one, no offense, keep on reading ). Ever wondered any other GOOD stuff your machine can do other than playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion at flawless 60 fps framerate for maximum setting ( even my PC can&#8217;t do that&#8230;)?</p>
<p>Ever heard of Folding@Home program? Yeah, if you heard of it, it&#8217;s THAT protein folding thing. If you haven&#8217;t heard of it, it&#8217;s NOT THAT <em>lipat baju</em> work that you do at home.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard of it, no worries. I can try to summarize everything in one sentence: &#8220;Doing mankind a favor by just paying extra electricity bill&#8221;.</p>
<p>Interested? I can tell you more but I bet Wikipedia can explain things better than me :D. Here&#8217;s some related links.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding%40home">Folding@Home</a><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_folding">Protein Folding</a></p>
<p>&#8220;<em> Folding@home (also known as FAH) is a distributed computing project designed to perform computationally intensive simulations of protein folding and other molecular dynamics simulations. It was launched on October 1, 2000, and is currently managed by the Pande Group, within Stanford University&#8217;s Chemistry department, under the supervision of Professor Vijay S. Pande. Folding@home is one of the largest distributed computing projects. </em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Yep, everyone can join this ( yes, even you who&#8217;s using a Pentium III pc there ). It&#8217;s not a hassle at all. All you need to do is: Download, Install, Start. That&#8217;s all.</p>
<p>Basically, this is what the program will do: First, it will fetch it&#8217;s data first ( not that big ), then use your CPU to simulate protein folding ( takes hours per job usually ), then when it&#8217;s done it will submit it&#8217;s result to the database. That&#8217;s the cycle. Yes, your PC works like a part of a BIG supercomputer ( actually, IT IS something like that, but it&#8217;s called &#8220;supercluster&#8221; ).</p>
<p>The program will use a lot of your system resources, but usually participants only run the program when they&#8217;re not using the PC. Don&#8217;t worry, it wont affect your BT download. If you still wanna fold while using your PC, it&#8217;s your call. It won&#8217;t effect much if you&#8217;re doing light tasks like chatting, surfing, listening to music and writing with Microsoft Word. If you&#8217;re doing heavy duty tasks with Photoshop, rendering videos or playing &#8216;Elder Scroll&#8217;s IV: Oblivion&#8217; with an expectation of playing it at a flawless 60fps WHILE folding in the background, forget it.</p>
<p>So, if you&#8217;re interested you can visit these sites:<br />
http://folding.stanford.edu/ &#8211; <em>Folding@Home&#8217;s official site ( must visit )</em><br />
<a href="http://forum.lowyat.net/Folding@Malaysia">Folding@Malaysia</a> &#8211; <em>Malaysia&#8217;s Folding@Home Community ( a must visit too )</em></p>
<p>So, what are you waiting for? Start folding and help mankind to find a cure :D . We maybe not going to find a cure in short time but at least we are SPEEDING up the finding process a lot faster! </p>
<p><em>NOTE: You might have problems with the connection now due to the recent earthquake</em></p>

PS: I&#8217;m folding using my X1950XTX GPU which claimed to be 20x-40x faster than CPU. Kewl huh? <a href="http://ati.amd.com/technology/streamcomputing/folding.html">Read here for more</a><br />
