Standards

I been to a service and they told me that they can't order the v-belt I need because is to cheep.So i decided to change it myself in the parking lot.

I manage to convince my mother to go and buy a v-belt because when I will finish work all the stores will be closed.The spooky thing is that i find the belt in the part catalog and has the specification 9.5X643MM but the one from the reseller that has the same part number but a different size 9.5X650MM. How the hell the same part can has different specifications ? I was thinking that the part number is created specially to avoid this.
I will tell you tomorrow how was working.

What a fine day for science

Today when i enter the office one college of mine told me "What a fine day for science", you know, the line from Dexter Laboratory cartoons. Is not relay a fine day for science for me. My car broke down. The belt between the engine and the water pump broke. Good that this was happened a few meters from the parking lot.
I had notice something wrong because the light the alternator turn on. But I was suspecting that maybe some wire burn out, or some other electrical problem. But when I was looking under the hood I had notice the belt thorn apart. I guess that I don't had to mention that the engine was hot and vapors come out of all the pipes. Doe's anyone know how to change a water pump belt ?

I will go to order a new belt a little latter and I will like to change it myself but unfortunately I cold outside and I also have to refill the cooling system. This require a ramp for allowing air bubbles to come out, so I can't do it in the parking lot. But it is a service near by. I hope is not to expensive. I really don't to spend money now.

Video cables for connecting my laptop to TV

The cables that I have are the following:

  • SCART converter (my TV only a SCART connection , this is usually fund in Europe). This is plugging directly in to the SCART connector on the TV (Big bulky plug). The converter has a switch used to select if the signal is to be inputted or outputted form the TV. The input/output for audio is to RCA (to RCA connections one red and one white for left and right audio signals). The video input/output has two options. One is a RCA (a yellow RCA connection) . And a S-Video connection like the one described in the prevision post.
  • RCA to audio Jack. This cable has to RCA connections (White and red) and on the other end a audio connector (identical with the one fund in headphone)
  • S-Video to S-Video cable.
  • S-Video to RCA cable.
The audio is kind of straight forward. But for video is to variants. I tested first with the S-Video to RCA cable and it seems fine (at least i had a color picture). But I tested with a picture slide show and the colors seems to be very accentuated. The pink looks like purple red, very annoying for pictures, but probably is acceptable with the movies. With the S-Video cable the picture is much sharp and the colors are much more real, but is still not crystal clear.

I didn't try with a movie because I don't have any at this moment but probably on the smaller resolution (like the one used for movies is much better then on my small display).

Doe's anybody can tell me some good movie ?

Video output

I finally manage to make my laptop output the image on my TV set. In this process I become a expert in cables, jack's and wires. My laptop has a S-Video output, this is a round plug with 4 or 7 pins (a lot like the mouse or keyboard plugs). The difrence betweens 4 pins plug and 7 pins plug is that the standard S-Video has 4 pins used for intensity (Luminance),golor (Chrominance) and tow of them are ground. The 7 pin connectors has a additional ground and composite video and this kid of connectors are usually find in laptops and other spooky devices, anyway the 7 pin version is not very standard anyway so is better to consider as a plain 4 pin plug.

Lazy


Today I was very lazy, I didn't do anything interesting.But now I started working. Maybe I will finish my program today. I am still searching for the love of my life.

Hi.

Today I had some fun flaming. You know, Friday is the flame day. Evrybody makes fun of everybody on mail.And debate unimportant problems like "Linux Vs. Windows", "Sex Vs. Love" and so on.

It worked


Yup! It really worked. I just stop and listen for people around me. You can imagine what a new experience was to me. You should really try it some time. New and miraculous new things will be revealed. Also concentrate a little bit and try to answer to everybody with the answer they expect to get from you. Don't manifest your opinion use their own opinion, Also you can use a lot of "I am totally agree!" and "I respect your opinion". Don't use "but" use "and" instead. It may sounds funny at the begin but nobody will notice. For example if you wish to do something else that the thing proposed to you you can say "I am totally agree with your decision and it will be nice to [put your thing here] because [some stupid reason]".

Even if is completely contradictory , if you say it serious everybody will agree.

Funny isn't it ?

Stop talking.

I have decided that I talk to much. So was thinking to shut up and watch more what happening around me. This is one of the key components of NLP: Observation.

Sad

I don't know but today I am very sad. I am still for a miracle to make me happy. But because I don't thing will gonna happen I am intending to find a way to buy an angel. Does anyone know an Angel store. Maybe I can order one online. If not I will find a way to make myself one.

What I want to say is that I relay wish to find a girl to to hug her. I relay want somebody to love. Is so funny i know at leas a a hundred girls. That are desperate trying to find a god guy to love them. Even better, they are asking me for my about jerk friend's. I asked myself way I don't scream at them "Hey stupid !!!! I am here, I am what are you looking for !!! I am the guy !!!" ? And the answer is that I can't love a girl that is not able to see something that is in front of her nose.

Augh! My head

My head is hearting like hell. Probably because I smoked half of pack of cigarettes in the last 4 hour. I was writing a program and usually when I working I can't stop smoking. Anyway I think I will make another blog about girls and another about programing and computer science. I am sure that I will have more success with that.

Girls

I don't understand why always god guys never have part of a nice girl. It is a misery for me. All the girls like bad guys. I sometime heard that girls flirt with the bad guy but is taking home the god guy. Is not true.

And again

Next week I intend to start all over again. I am decided that this year I will quit smoking. But this week i have other problems. Like finding a girl to love. Seems that nobody wants to be loved by me. Is so much think I can offer to her.

The big moment

I just finish the second one. The third one I tear it apart. So this is it. The big moment. Is almost 1 December here. Probably the timestamps seems wrong, this is because i am on a completely different timezone. Here is almost midnight.


Maybe you wonder why i made a so big fuzz out of it. The idea behind is that psychological point of view it fouls my brain to think that I made a grate thing so it help me motivating.


Also if you think that instead of smoking less I smoke a lot more before the big day is not a such a god idea. Is not so true because the nicotine helps memory. That means it lock in my brain the idea that I QUIT SMOKING. Sometime you can fight fire with fire, using the addiction against itself.

3 cigarets in 30 min

I still have 3 cigarettes and in 30 minute I will stop smoking for good. I will smoke 2 of them and one I will intend to trow away.

I need support.

I personally hoped that I have a few visitors that's support me. I am a little disappointed. Seems kind of funny I not even started and I already ask for support. I know that it seems kind of lame I really want at least one person that encourage my initiative.

Motivation

Anyway some methods that I intend to use self suggestion and NLP. I will tell you about that some other time. They are very powerful methods that can be used for self improvement and motivation.



Also i hope that this blog will help me if i have enough people to encourage me. I don't have any some far. Not very promising, isn't it ? So i have the feeling that I am all alone, but i am already used with looniest.

Finishing all the tabaco i have.

I am already yo my second pack today, and i still have a half of it. I am intending to finish it until the end of the day so tomorrow i will don't have any cigar. But seem that I forget to get rid of the one from my dashboard and hope it will not cause trouble when I will get in to the car.

Just thinking of it.

I waked up in the morning and I didn’t have any cigarettes in the hous It was so terrifying. But I am still intending to keep my decision. I buy a pack of cigarettes for today, this is the last one. I also noticed that I still have one cigarette in my car on the dashboard; I will get rid of that so it doesn’t tempt me.


I am scared. I can imagine my life without smoking. What I am gone ‘do?

My decision to quit smoking.

I have decided to quit smoking starting from 1 December. This time I intend to quit for good. I am smoking for more than 5 years and now I am smoking more then 2 packets per day, up to 5 packets.


The reasons that made me take this decision are the following:


  • It is bad for my health.

  • Starting from next year the prices of the tobacco will ingress with 300% in my region.

  • No nonsmoking girl likes to kiss a smoker.

  • I will be more independent of time send in close spaces.

  • I will demonstrate my will.



I intend to follow my process on this blog and maybe it can help others quit smoking and also motivate me.
