Well, i was surfing the net at college yesterday on my laptop, im allowed to use it in lessons to take notes etc.
I shut it down after my free period and went to physics, switched my laptop on, and upon startup it started some EXTREEMLY annoying musicI looked at it, tried to put some headphones in (sadly my headphons jack appears to no longer be working) and my sound panel is blanked out, so i cant control the volume (MUTE IT!)
eventually i gave in that physics lesson and just used pen and paper.so i got home and tried to mess about a bit with it, it appears to have a strange virus.
It plays “Miley Cyrus - See You Again” upon startup, each and every time, and just repeats at full volume, it wont accept headphones (just sees them as not there and continues to play)I found miley.exe as a process, and im assuming thats what controlling it, but when i close it, its just reopens itself and starts playing again
anyone have any ideas? As i absolutly hate pop music, and this takes the buscuit -.-
I was driving home today with my rental car. A really sweet 2008 Maxima. Anyway, I got into an accident, flipped over a few times but I was uninjured. Some guys stopped by to help me out, give me a few band-aids, and basically pat me on the back. They whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I can say this cab is rare But I thought ‘Now forget it’ - ‘Yo homes to Bel Air!’
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes smell ya later’ I looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air.
(If there’s any doubt in your head right now, this was actually a made up story and you should be laughing.)
While everyone out there is talking about Obama’s win, I thought I would help change gears. I had a crazy dream the other night where I was on a team of superheroes. We fighting some villains that were about 3 times my size. The weird part is that everyone’s superpower was to jump into the air and make diagonal jumpkicks. Like, I would jump and do a spin straight up into the air, but when the kick activated, I would change my flight of motion 45 degrees and make a diagonal jump kick.
Oh, and by the way. The superheroes won. You’re welcome!
PHP just set their namespace separator to a backslash (\). Weird.

I have the best costume this year from Walmart. A whoopie cushion. Also, I bought a fart machine to go with it.
But Lee, aren’t you a PhD student? A respected member of society?
Good question. Yes.
morning routine
I know you guys have been crossing your fingers for me recently because of certain events going on in school (and for certain reasons I’m not going to specify these things online). Just to let you know, everything’s going ok.
Lee: do you think that I could make “my gaffe” replace “my bad?”James: sure
With all the usage of the word Gaffe to describe McCain’s campaign, I think I can start using it in public and people will understand it. It’s about time that “my bad” were replaced by something better.
person 1: Dude, you just stepped on my toe!person 2: My gaffe!
It’s so hard for me to believe right now how little gas there is in Atlanta. I drove around for 20 minutes and all gas stations were out of gas except one, and it had very long lines that filled the parking lot. The lines were backed out on the street, so it must have been at least a 30 minute wait for any gas.
I searched online and found a tool to find gas prices and availability, so I hope it helps someone too.
I got an email saying that I can give someone a free month of Netflix. And in exchange I can have my own free rentals for each person who uses my coupon codes. Just remember to type in a priority code when you get the free month so that I can get my kickback.
Step 1. Tell me to email you a free month trial
Step 2. Use one of the priority codes when you sign up.

I was literally jumping up and down as Heroes went for two hours just now. I’m so psyched!
Why don’t they ever mention that Mohinder is a bioinformatician?
My version of biophp is becoming a reality. Biophp.org’s problem is that their code is broken. Sure, if you want it you can spend time fixing it, it’s usable. And you can go onto their site and edit the code to fix it for them, but it hasn’t been changed since 2006. Plus once again, it’s broken.
I have figured out how to get mine onto Google Code. Google’s system allows for others to view the code and make changes as they see fit. Thus even though I haven’t had a need to change it for myself in a few months, my version of biophp could continue to progress through the efforts of other computational biologists.
I hope you’re a bioinformatician and want to help make the code go further.
I finished my qualifying exams. I don’t think I have spent that much time testing since the MCAT, which was probably about 3 years ago. Even then, I didn’t spend as much solid time (8 hours of MCAT vs 3 straight days 10am-5pm). However, the real difference is that I am (supposedly) an expert on what I was tested in the quals. For the MCAT, it was kind of like a weeding test. I felt no attachment to the test if I did really great or not–I was only trying to get into medical school. WIth the quals, I felt terrific finishing it, but I’ll be devistated if I fail (and to boot, failure will lead to me getting kicked out of the PhD program).
My second bit of good news is that I received a dissertation grant today. This particular grant will fund me and my meningitis research until I graduate (pending renewal of the grant due to my hard work next year). I receive certain perks, the best of which is travel money. I really hope there is a meningitis conference in England sometime soon! Also this means that my base source of money will not have to come from TAing.
