Always Low : I'm Wired That Way

Define NEGATIVITY

– the character of the negative electric pole
– characterized by habitual skepticism and a disagreeable tendency to deny or oppose or resist suggestions or commands
– the name given in philosophy to the negative element determinative or definitive of things and all ideas of things, whereby a thing is this because it is not that, and is seen to be this because it is seen not to be that, an antagonism essential to all forms of being, spiritual as well as material, and to all definite and distinct thought.

We can illustrate that using logic gates and the resulting logic circuit would be like:

or as Kaye suggested:

The Input-Output Table would look like:

INPUT OUTPUT
0 0
1 0

That just means that whatever goes in would always go out as NEGATIVE, it doesn’t matter if the input is AFFIRMATIVE or NEGATIVE, HIGH or LOW, the result will always be NEGATIVE || LOW.

I think I have that kind of circuit in my head. Maybe that’s why I always answer half-empty (or fully-empty, if I’m exceptionally negative that day) to that penultimate glass question. Hah. Awesome.

PS — Gabby, di ko rin sure bakit ako nag-ECE, eh galit nga ako sa analog. Puro gray areas (haha, at babalik talaga ako sa topic na yun). Sana pala nag-CoE na lang ako buzet.

Ang Mahiyaing Memory Gap

04 Wednesday Jun 2008

Minsan ako ay balahura, minsan wala rin akong pakialam. Minsan makapal talaga ang mukha ko. Pero sa tunay na buhay, ako po ay mahiyain (wahahahahahahahahaha). Hindi nga. Totoo. Tignan na lang ang sumusunod na dayalogo kung saan naging usapan namin ni Meemax sa YM ang tungkol sa susunod na Tokyo Flickr Meet.

meemax: bat ayaw mong magconfirm?
meemax: go go go. walang hiya ka naman online ah. joke!
tinats: :))
meemax: hihihihi
meemax: sabihin Hi, I’m Tina. I’ll be coming so that I can show you my awesomeness.
tinats: amfufu
tinats: ikaw na lang hahaha puhleeez?
tinats: i’m kinda shy
meemax: tapos pag nag-meet kayo, yung Hi I’m awesome. And you are?
meemax: wahahaha

——————————————

Kailangan ko na yata ng mga assistants 😛 Hindi na nakakatuwa itong memory gap syndrome ko (pero di ko pa rin sure kung tunay ba to or ginagamit ko lang minsan na dahilan wehehehe — saka na nga itong topic ng selective memory loss, medyo malalang diskusyon yun eh). Enihu …

(Kadugtong ng usapang Tokyo Flickr Meet)
tinats: meemax! “she’s a cool”?
meemax: ilalagay ko dapat she’s a cool self-photographer
meemax: (a photographer that’s only interested in shooting his/herself)
tinats: =))
meemax: me tatlong tao ata dyan na may fisheye
tinats: eh wala naman gustong magpose ng concept kong mga pose no
meemax: try nating manghiram
tinats: fisheye!
meemax: willing naman ako ah
meemax: wala lang time at wala yung mga gusto mong costume
tinats: hahaha
tinats: oo nga oo nga
tinats: wala rin sa timing eh
meemax: hehehe
tinats: impulse minsan ang ideas ko.
tinats: at nasa pakiramdam na.
meemax: bat di mo hiramin yung tripod ni ramil habang nasa nagayama pa
tinats: mabilis rin mawala.
meemax: diba gusto mo ng top shot?
meemax: dapat nililista mo eh
meemax: hehehe
tinats: ay oo nga.
meemax: miniprojects
tinats: di. kahit ilista ko.
tinats: kunyari feel ko ngayon, bukas di ko na ma-feel eh.
meemax: pag naging sikat ka na, dapat me assistant ka na talaga lista ng mga ideas mo
meemax: at isa pang assistant na tagakulit
tinats: wahehehe
meemax: =))
tinats: kelangan talaga ng assistant eh
meemax: oo.
meemax: kelangan mo nang bayaran ang tao para kulitin ka ng kulitin
meemax: hehehe
meemax: tapos mas mahal ang bayad ng isa pang assistant
meemax: yung assistant na pipigilan kang matulog nang matulog =))
tinats: hahahahaha
tinats: mahirap ang trabaho na iyun
meemax: uu

(Tanghali — sa a-LINK Office sa Shin-Yokohama)
ish: tinats, may papabigay ako sa yo, pakibigay kay jem.
tna: oki.
ish: (ibibigay ang flash disk) pasabi bigay niya kay jr.
tna: oki (ilalagay ang flash disk sa isa sa mga bulsa ng bag).
tna: paalala mo mamyang gabi ah? for sure, limot ko na yan.
ish: okay.
(Gabi, 2300H~ish, kakauwi ko lang from a nosebleed session sa Bic Camera, nag-YM ang Ish)
ish: tinats, yung pinapabigay ko kay jem ah? remind lang.
tna: ha? (hala, ano na nga yun?)
tna: …
tna: …
tna: ah oo!
(Tatakbo sa bag at kakalkalin lahat ng pockets para makita ang flash disk. Lalabas ng door para puntahan si Jemu)
tna: jemu, may pinapabigay si ish (sabay abot ng flashdisk).
jem: ano to?
tna: ewan ko haha.
tna: teka.
tna: processing …
tna: processing …
tna: processing …
tna: aha — ayooown! pabigay daw pala kay jr. shet na memorya to.
jem: oks
tna: haha

Ugh. Ano ba gamot dito? Kelangan ko na ba uminom ng Enervon Prime? Or kelangan ko na talaga ng assistant? Wehehehehe. So kung ganun kelangan ko na ba mag-post ng specs for da assistant(s)? Oki oki oki. Ja, eto na ang preliminary specs:

(1) Makulit. Pano naman pag di makulit eh kelangan ko nga ng makulit na taga-remind.
(2) Kaya akong hindi patulugin. Oo, sobrang makapangyarihan na siya kapag pumasa siya sa requirement na ito.
(3) Madaldal. Para hindi makatulog. Parang sa pagda-drive sa road trip lang yan eh, kelangan madaldal ang nasa shotgun para hindi mag-snooze ang driver (*guilty*).
(4) Malupit ang memorya — aba’y dapat lang, kasi kung olats din ang memorya niya, eh bakit pa ko nag-hire ng assistant di ba?
(5) …

Hay naku nakalimutan ko na naman ang isusulat ko. Buset. Hanggang dito na lang muna. Dagdagan ko na lang kung maghimalang maalala ko yan mamaya.

POTEKNESS!

Seattle lost to New York.

Usapang Pagong

Nasusuka ako.

Hindi ako makahinga.

Pakiramdam ko nilalamukos ang mga baga ko. Piniga’t-piniga ang mga ito hanggang sa maubusan na ng hangin.

Pumlakda na lang ako.

Wala nang lakas.

Wala nang enerhiya.

Ubos na.

Ubos na.

Tapos naisip ko na lang bigla  E

Bilog at iikot pa rin naman ang mundo.

 Epunyeta, hindi bilog ang mundo. Isa itong flat disc na nakatuntong sa apat na elepante na nakatapak sa likod ng isang giant tortoise.

What is the turtle standing on then?

Shit ka.

It’s turtles all the way down!

And turtles are the shit, man. They support the earth and keep it in orbit. Screw the proven fact that the earth is round and fcuk Copernican theory (eh teka — nasa orbit nga eh, so revolving around the sun — ah ewan, ewaaaaan, ewaaaaaaaaaaaaaan). It’s fcuking flat and it is in the danger of toppling over because one of the turtles (the one at the top) decided its work just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Aalis na ang pagong, simula na ang pagguho ng mundo, na naman.
Punyemas na yan, wag niyo na lang kasing guluhin at pigil-pigilan.
Pero bakit nga naman ba mananatili kung para sa wala lang?
Kagaguhan na lang ang hayaan pa ang sarili na masaktan at maguluhan
kaya payagan na lang siyang maglakad kahit na ubod ng kabagalan,
hayaan na lang, utang na loob, na pansamantalang sarili niya’y protektahan.

⇁ESalamat kela Stephen Hawking at Terry Pratchett

==========================

At dahil naka-tengga na naman ang utak ko, wala na akong maisulat. So kalkal na lang from the hidden archives hihihi.

Race Condition

race condition, taylor swift, taylor swift lyrics, teardrops on my guitar

A race condition or race hazard is a flaw in a system or process whereby the output and/or result of the process is unexpectedly and critically dependent on the sequence or timing of other events. The term originates with the idea of two signals racing each other to influence the output first.

So is there a flaw in the system caused by a race condition? Is there a major critical bug that rightfully deserves all the attention that it craves?

Signal#1 is on the go. Signal#2 mada kangae-chuu  Emaybe yes, maybe no, only one thing though, it doesn’t know what to do. Signal#2 mou shinda.

The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star

Don’t know why I do

Birdy in 2008 US Olympic Team

Okay, so Birdy’s expected to be the starting point guard of this year’s squad. The first 9 slots, as announced, are as follows:

– C Lisa Leslie (L.A. SpOrks) — Ugh.

– G Katie Smith (Detroit Shock)

– G Sue Bird (Seattle Storm)

– G/F Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury)

– F Tina Thompson (Houston Comets)

– G Seimone Augustus (Minnesota Lynx)

– C Sylvia Fowles (Chicago Sky)

– F Candace Parker (L.A. Sparks)

– G Cappie Pondexter (Phoenix Mercury)

USA has won 5 of 6 gold medals, the latest was Athens. But it shouldn’t be guarantee enough because Australia’s Opals are the fiercest ever — led by Captain Lauren Jackson. Russia (with Becky Hammon) can also be a huge problem, I remember them beating USA in the semis during the last World Championships.

SEATTLE @ SAN ANTONIO (May 24, 2008)

Score: 72 — 87 (Loss)

— I missed this one because I wasn’t able to go home from Aileen’s Welcome Party in Bubaigawara. Good for me, at least I was spared the stress.

SEATTLE vs SAN ANTONIO (May 30, 2008)

Score: 78 — 57 (Win)

Player of the Game: F/C Lauren Jackson, 28 points (10-16), 3 rebounds.

— I actually forgot about this game. Haha. I woke up around the second quarter and immediately tuned to the dotcom audio. They said there was gonna be a webcast but it turned out they were just pulling my leg. I hope they archive it, though. It was a pretty awesome game by LJ. 😀

STANDING: 4 — 1 0.800 (2nd West)

UP NEXT: Houston Jun 1 2100H EDT

Fuzzy Logic

fuzzy logic, logic, nerdox mode

“Ang hirap kasi sa yo binary ka mag-isip.”

“Eh bakit ba … eh ikaw ang fuzzy ng logic mo.”

I’ve always been a fan of Binary Logic. In it, you only worry about the 1 and the 0, the BLACK and the WHITE, the TRUE and the FALSE, the YES and the NO. I like reducing everything to two states. I hate gray areas. I hate in-betweens. I can’t help it, I’m like wired that way.

Schrödinger’s Cat

28 Wednesday May 2008

Posted by kilcher in Geekdom, Life Oh Life, TV/Movies

≈ 28 Comments

Schrödinger’s cat, often called a paradox, is a thought experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger around 1935.

Anyway, it’s like this: a cat is placed in a sealed box with a sealed vial of poison that will break open at an uncertain time. Since no one knows when or if the poison is released, until the box is opened, the cat is thought of as both alive and dead. One can only pick a state — dead or alive — when the box is finally opened and the cat is seen.

It’s like … hmmm … maybe it’s like when you like someone and you are not sure if they like you back or not and you haven’t even opened the box — crossed a line, dropped hints, told them, asked them out, argh, whatever else analogy you can think of — what that something between you and that someone can be actually thought of as REAL and IMAGINARY, THERE and NOT-THERE, FACT and FANTASY blah-blah-blah-yakkity-blah. Not until you take that risk, tell them how you feel, and find out once and for all what the heck is going on around here, will you know IF THE CAT IS ALIVE OR NOT.

Right?

###########################

Blame The Big Bang Theory for this. It filled my morning and evening train rides with entertainment but rendered me unsociable since my friends couldn’t talk to me what with my ears covered with my gigantic headphones. I don’t care though if I looked like an idiot desperately trying to prevent myself from laughing. Ugh. Anyway, I already finished this season and will be waiting for the next so y’all can have my attention from here onwards — all the other TV shows have gone into hiatus anyway. Bummer.

I finally succumbed to this song. Jemu‘s been addicted to this for weeks — take that, WEEKS!

Head underwater
And they tell me
To breathe easy for a while
Breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me; but it’s too soon to see
If I’m happy in your hands
I’m unusually hard to hold on to

Path of Most Resistance

hey, do ya remember me?
we used to talk about things,
things that i didn’t know about,
things that i still don’t get.

well, it did look effortless,
me messing with all your mess.
you said i didn’t have to try,
you’re wrong, maybe i’ll tell you why.

coz i try really hard, actually,
and i haven’t even seen you,
and i haven’t even got through to you,
not the way that i want to,
no, not the way that i meant to.

hey, didja ever think of me?
i learned things the hard hard way.
guess ’twas all because of you,
hell, everything was for you.

but i learned to see some things,
accepted the comings and the goings,
and those that have all these meanings,
even stupid nonsensical blabberings.

coz i try really hard, you know that,
even if i haven’t even seen you,
and i haven’t even got through to you,
not the way that i want to,
no, not the way that i meant to.

and suppose that i’ll never see you,
and this might not be real anyway,
and you might not be who i thought you were,
but, i’ll still be here, anytime of day.

coz i try really hard, you know that,
even if i haven’t even seen you,
and i haven’t even got through to you,
not the way that i meant to,
not the way that i’m supposed to.
