			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I sold some old junk. More specifically a old dual P3 compaq proliant with 1gb ECC ram.</p>
<p>My new seedbox (old PC before the i7) runs more quiet and has been very stable in the sense of uptimes.<br />
Anway back to the story bascially I sold this server for $12, and I have encountered the most annoying buy ever. He wants to do a RAID format and install on the SCSI drives.</p>
<p>The question is how far would one go when selling old junk like this for a miserable $12. Some options would be to throw this scrap metal on inorganic disposal day. Lose $12 and lose some stress&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Was reading the reviews on it and just couldn&#8217;t resist crazy speeds. The HT bottleneck was fixed apparently and yes it is fast really fast!!.</p>
<p>Hold on!!. There is some ANNOYING problems with the clocking your ram on X85 chipsets therefore across all brands your damn RAM specifically OCZ and some say gel dont run at their desired speed.</p>
<p>So as what most people would do, that is manually adjust. The thing hands and throws tandtrums and doesnt stay true. I dunnnnnno whats going on it is a pain!, just wait for the latest bios updates <img src='http://kelvins.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Solution</strong></p>
<p>Well as all of us may think that our clock times ARE NOT working they are!. It is all on false pretenses of using Everest to check our latency. I recommed using CPUZ-ID and you will realise that the SPD on the OCZs are kind of screwed up so INDEED you do need to set them manually.</p>
<p>I noticed a HUGEE speed improvement in terms of loading windows so I know the timings were a lot better and bandwith increased. Checked everest they were the same, but then I checked using CPUZ turns out they are right <img src='http://kelvins.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Note: Make sure your voltages on your RAM is sufficent to do your clock speeds if you starve them of power it tends to screw up.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your like me, you have a glossy laptop. Lets not go into the details of why I have one and how I came to acquire one.</p>
<p>What we would all realized is that, our glossy laptops is a magnet for fingerprint marks. </p>
<p>As I was plowing along finishing a proposal, I kind of got side tracked with my laptop which was stained with finger print streaks all along it. </p>
<p>The keyboard had reminance of dinners from last month, oil splash and so on.<br />
With the recent scares in H1N1 most place would have these sanitation stations for your hands, not the squirty bottle stuff the disposable napkins!!.</p>
<p>I have found a use for them, to clean our finger printed glossy laptops. They work great, excellent for cleaning the keyboard and  high gloss surfaces. </p>
<p>Most of the satination systems inplace for the influenza virus are ethanol base, I maybe even bold enough to say ALL of them. Around about 70% ethanol. You may ask isnt that the same as washing your hands with a bottle of cheap whisky? most likely YES.</p>
<p>But it works most effective with some water in the solution, so pure ethanol is not as effective as ethanol + water. (7:3 ratio)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A proposal to ban pseudoephedrine in NZ has not been thought through well. With these few words you would probably think I am pro pseduoephedrine, and indeed you would be right.</p>
<p>Before you guys start yapping away let me lay my case.</p>
<p>A few reasons why banning a tried and test drug is not a solution:</p>
<p>1. It is tried and tested, and being available over the counter indicates it to be relatively safe compared to other similar drugs.</p>
<p>2. Banning of one drug makes us more reliant on another, one more option is closed. And personally I prefer pseduoephedrine compared to antihistamines. (Yes yes some instance it is a mix of both, but I am speaking of direct relationships. I have used both and I found pseduoephedrine more effective)</p>
<p>3. Regulation of the distribution of pseduoephedrine or even better as a prescription only medication I feel would be more acceptable. Heck I wouldnt care if I required a prescription to get it, if it means less P being manufactured locally.</p>
<p>4. With less P being made locally where will it come from?? Obviously abroad and almost more than likely proxied (if there is such a word) from Australia.</p>
<p>5. There is only so much the government can do, It would be a safe bet that the government wont ban the use of ephedrine and its derivatives as a whole but be more precise in their bannage. hahaha.</p>
<p>So what?? Essentially all ephedrines can be manipulated to make the illict P just requires a chemistry textbook and a bit of thinking. Perhaps if you just draw it out and use the textbook to figure out the gaps you could easily do it.!!</p>
<p>Sidenote: Next time try not to submit a solution to a problem to which you just thought about over the morning cup of coffee.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently had a mishap with my Hard disk my 640 gig WD SataII HDD decided to die on me, no longer wanted to write no read.<br />
Warranty covered by WD is definitely one of difference, I sent in my broken hard disk to their address in Singapore and 5 &#8211; 7 working days later a replace drive arrives.<br />
No questions asked, just a prompt replacement. They didnt even ask how it broke, or if I had a story to tell about the hard disk.</p>
<p>Definitely have me sold on WD&#8217;s now all HDD I buy will be Western Digitals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mechansims operating a greenhouse is not the trapping of infrared radiation, but the restriction of convective losses when the air is warmed due to contact with the ground which is heated by solar radiation (heat sink).</p>
<p>This was demonstrated by R.W Wood whom built a model greenhouse and demonstrated that there is no difference in the temperature of the air inside by replacing the glass with rock salt (transparent to infrared radiation)</p>
<p>What matters is important is that solar radiation is not hindered by glass and the ground once heated warms up adjacent air, must be noted that turbulent movement of air does not remove heat rapidly.</p>
<p>THEREFORE greenhouses do NOT trap terrestrial radiation.</p>
<p>As we move up in the atmosphere the density decreases therefore adsorption of terrestrial radiation will take place near the surface (exception is ozone which occurs higher in contentrations in stratosphere and exerts a difference on radiative balance). Since water vapor is the most important absorber of terrestrial radiation we would expect the greatest part of absorption and emission to occur at the bottom of the atmosphere.</p>
<p>If a warming scenario were to occur where concentration of radiatively active gases increases and solar radiation absorption remains constant, lowest level of the atmosphere will warm up. The warming of the lower atmosphere will consequently emit more infrared radiation both upwards and downwards, achieving &#8220;balance&#8221; between incoming and outgoing radiation leading to surface and lower atmosphere warming and upper atmosphere cooling.</p>
<p>The consequence of having additional absorbing gases is for the surface to warm up the atmosphere expressed as a whole and effectively radiate from higher levels. This quantified as an average of troposphere and is expressed as <em>radiative forcing</em> and is the parameter which determines if the greenhouse effect is due to natural causes or human activity.</p>
<p>&#8220;So it is better not to regard these gases as putting a lid on the atmosphere, but rather of subtly altering how it redistrubes the heat absorbed from the Sun&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Melamine debarcle has finally cooled down abit. All the steam it generated is definately understandable&#8230;.</p>
<p>Now down to some basic reactions on thow Melamine causes those kidney stones.<br />
I would like to clarify that Melamine ON its own is relatively non toxic, its LD50 was said to be similar to that of table salt 3248 mg/kg translates to about 195g of Melamine to be consumed orally if your weight is 60kg. Thats a lot of crystals to be eating hahaha. (Some reports suggest cancer which everything pretty much gives you it is just how much to consume)</p>
<p>What happens is when Melamine is ingested it reacts with Cyanuric acid (considered non toxic even higher LD50 than Melamine) found as supplement for cattle and required precursor to making Chlorinated cyanurates to disinfect water as some examples.</p>
<p>So Melamine + Cyanuric Acid =&gt; Melamine cyanurate which can form crystals in renal microtubles there by damaging the kidneys.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graduation is not the end of the line.</p>
<p>I knew it since the beginning, that upon graduation there is still so much to do so many avenues to open and cracks to patch up. I always tried to imagine how it would feel graduating and concluded that it would not feel any different from the point of time I have been sitting the exam.<br />
Now onto my Postgraduate studies, I feel more busy than every with more responsibilities amounting from business ventures than actual univeristy studies by their own. I do admit the postgraudate papers are a whole different level from undergraduate and those whom have not done postgraduate before be prepared to read; but I would always say read smart hahah pick particular sections and papers to read.</p>
<p>I did make a discovery which I should of known, good strenuous exercise from sports like squash go a long way mentally. I am a lot more happy and soul resolved than what I use to feel. I kindly thank my friends Bronson and Audrey for always opening new experiences for me, no doubt they are the norm for them I suppose but it is not for me and every experience is indeed intriguing.</p>
<p>Heads down to another 5 years of academic fruitloops. I have decided to adopt the term fruitloop as it can describe me in a word, I leave it for the fellow blog</p>
