New Camp Chicosci
Camp Chicosci is a fansite that I started out when I was still in high school. I just love the kids who come and visit the site making it hard for me to just push the stop button. I'd probably keep the site up even until Chicosci gets tired of rocking. Haha.
Chicosci are the happiest band I know out there who just love being out. This is evident by the number of vampires who still come out every night to get a taste of their blood from the dungeon-ist club to arenas when they open for international acts and even converting more vampires along the way.
My favorite among the albums released by this band is Icarus. The album is so rich with stuff they could pickup one day and work with it. My favorite song is...oh, just check out my Camp Chicosci Vampire profile.

Graduation Day Overdue
This is to wrap-up the posts labeled "Graduation Day." I would have written something about the event if this post was written an hour or a day after October 13, 2007. But since it's a week overdue, like the always ex-lover's excuse, the feeling's gone. And this is all I could squeeze out of the blank after graduation day.

Minutes ago, mother WWW gave birth to a new kid, www.in-indie.org, with a trivia that promises a subdomain and hosting to anyone who figures it out. Point your browser to www.in-indie.org to try your luck or mail.in-indie.org to claim your free email by simply reading this.
Anyway, update your favorite blog to nnd.in-indie.org because I figured it out. Haha

Deconstructing a write-protected USB Flash drive
Today, I tried to deconstruct a write-protected USB device to locate a switch that would re-enable the device. Here's the method.
 Deconstructing a write-protected Kingston DataTravelerMini USB Device. |  Weapon of choice: Clean Fucking Knife. |
 Using CFK, we start deconstructing by finding the weakest spot in its sturdy blue armor. |  A successful deconstruction method should give us something like this. Not something like this. |
 That would make my Wiki-ed method of "write-enabling a USB" a great fucking failure. |  With so much trial and errors I decided to give reformatting a try. |
Using Access Check, I know I have access to do whatever I want with the USB device.
Yet, still.
If you have the same USB model and problem like mine, do not use this method. It's not the solution. I could only suggest you buy the "switched" ones next time. I will.

How to enable a write-protected USB? Pt. 2
This could be it! The answer to "How to enable a write-protected USB?" when low-level formatting and shifting OS amounted to none and CD-r King was unprofessional enough to even acknowledge my inquiry.
I'm going back to the time when having a cassette tape was cool. Weekend agenda is to deconstruct the write-protected flash drive to see

The Chronicles of the 250Php Graduation Day toga #2
Second to the series of the Chronicles of Graduation Day is the toga rental. Half past 2:00, I went straight to the dungeon called The Archives at USC-Main. Not to acquire my shitty T.O.R. or any other school records but to avail of the 10% discount on toga rental. Tie-ups. Tie-ups. Anyway, I got my shoulders and height mapped to an inch so they, the rentals guys, may dig on to their own archives for something that would fit me. This is the first, in my history of Graduation Days, that I covered all the requirements on time.
On an really connected vein, as mentioned here, I'm posting the "for Graduation Day and Portal Photoshoot" outcome, I sort-of-censored some part of it though.

The Chronicles of the yet to be mashed up Graduation Day #1
I could only remember being up on stage high with fever to give the obligatory salutatorian speech during primary school.
Then, marching with a really wrinkled toga in secondary school and getting death threat from my C.A.T. officer for claiming the toga that same day and not ever participating in any of the graduation rehearsals.
Tertiary: I'm doing a Chronicle of Graduation Day as I will be getting my associate rolled-paper this 13th of October 2007.
Today, I'm officially and financially cleared from all liabilities and mishaps I might have caused the security guards in my last days in USC-TC. Concluded all examinations and projects and fetched a copy of my "for Graduation Day and Portal Photoshoot" that I will be posting on my next post.

September Ender
Pardon me for this post. I'm just gonna squeeze it in to round up my total posts to 20 for the month of September. I got 6 posts on my first month and 14 on my second. Twenty for the third is not at all a bad growth, is it?
It's Octoberfest tomorrow! Oh, yeah!
Wikipedia says:The Oktoberfest is a two-week festival held each year in Munich, Bavaria, Germany during late September and early October. It is one of the most famous events in the city and the world's largest fair, with some six million people attending every year.
We, Filipinos, Octoberfest harder dito sa Pinas!

Weekend Apps Change
So, after days of trying to fix my USB problem, I decided to reformat my Windows XP partition when the same problem plagued my other new USB. The new USB was given another life. Saved. And cheers to the old for it will probably end up in the dusty corners of the already dusty and useless side of the room. Bringing the "write-protect" problem along.
Because Globe and Smart Bro was decent enough to turn me off from subscribing to their services because I live in a boardinghouse, I made a trip to the fastest cheapest internet cafe' in town(infront of Hotel Sogo Cebu) to download new stuff for my Windows Vista older brother.
...with Adobe Photoshop, I'm on!

Gambit, Marvel's new bad guy
Being a Marvel comics and trading cards collector growing up, learning about Gambit shifting sides from superhero to supervillains is a bit shocking. A bit shocking because it's clear, back then, that it IS Gambit's boots, he must be examining, like vultures, the deathland of X-Mens, on one of Marvel Universe Mystery's trading card series.
A post from Wizard Universe cleared my hypothesis.Move over Magneto, hit the deck Doctor Doom—there’s a new breed of bad guy in the Marvel Universe. With the aforementioned pair lying low, the Kingpin ousted from power and most of the heroes focused on battling one another, a motley crew of also-rans, new faces and long-dormant threats has emerged to fill the vacuum of evil...
...THE MARAUDERS
The X-Men have found themselves under siege of late not only from familiar foes, but once-trusted friends as well. The Marauders combine the worst of both worlds, with former teammates like Gambit, Mystique and Sunfire standing shoulder to shoulder with sworn enemies Exodus, Random and Scalphunter.
“Gambit is going back to his roots in the worst possible way,” laments X-Men writer Mike Carey. “Hanging with Sinister and the Marauders—it’s like ‘Mutant Massacre’ all over again, except this time he’s got a really twisted agenda that’s all his own.”

How to enable a write-protected USB?
No. No buttons or switches in the USB Flash. It was last used in an internet cafe. Both Windows and Linux(Ubuntu) could not format the disk.
Second question in my mind that would be helpful in solving my problem is: How to change access/permission in a write protected USB flash?
This post should be crawled in by robots from all the WWW's search engines.
MESSAGE IN A BLOG: To all technical guys, please do type the keywords(from my questions) and provide solutions. I'll be googling ang yahooing until I get this fixed.

In Flames - Abnegation
Hope Bam Margera won't cast digital beer bottles at me for being too happy and stealing his filthy mp3 player to stream the new song "Abnegation" by In Flames here on my blog (Click play here).
...yet more of In Flames working on their new album.
No. He wouldn't. :)

Validating Email Address in PHP
For the serious webmaster in you, receiving a wrongly formatted email address from your site's newsletter subscription is a pain in the neck. If only you could be there to check every subscription and validate it before heaping it up to your database.
In PHP you could always act like you're there to check by defining a valid email formatting rule like the function below:function validEmail($str){
return ( ! preg_match("/^([a-z0-9\+_\-]+)(\.[a-z0-9\+_\-]+)*@([a-z0-9\-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/ix", $str)) ? FALSE : TRUE;
}
To start checking, pass the value of the inputted email address from the subscription form to the function together with a simple true or false condition.if (validEmail($_POST['email'])==FALSE){
echo 'Some error message here';
}else{
/* Some SQL statement here to add the email address to your database */
}
Now, the only problem you might still bump into is a correctly formatted email address that doesn't actually exist. Tomorrow, I'll tell you how to Check if an Email Address exists.
