Laptop lid crackle problem.

Some days ago my laptop lid started to crackled then I close/open it. At first I haven't noticed it, but latter it started to crackle more and more loud. I step up and solved this problem with WD-40. I sprayed some to these places:

Now my lid works ( moves ) smooth and soft.

P.S. If you will do the same be careful!! do not spay onto lid screen, keyboard, ect.. ( you can't hurt them but you can have a long trip to clean thing ( oil ) out :) ) also save your or your work watching friend eyes!

Lost (and i'm happy) in my education.

So if we go back in time ( with time machine or somehow ) , I was young and stupid(not so, keep reading and you will know why). My birth (&soul) town is Vilnius I've finished school there. All my life I've thought about my future being a programmer, because I started wondering about programming when I was a little boy, so I've imagined that being a student will be so cool and interesting. But I didn't know where to go up to study, yes in Vilnius there are two good universities where you can study Computer Science, this is VGTU and VU but there are some minuses that I don't like, this is a lot of theoretics, so I entered to best in Lithuania university in Computer Science this is KTU (Kaunas University of Technology), best is because that there are a lot of practice, they use newest technology (sometimes), but I need to relocate to Kaunas. I thought it would be nice to know new city, new people, new (student) life-style and etc. Yes at very first half of years it was nice, interesting and wonderful, but latter it became to a sad sight, because I'm so ALONE there, all my best friends and my girlfriend was in Vilnius, all my soul is in Vilnius. So I've suffered some more time ( about an two years ). And thats it. Now I've made my decision, I will go back and continue one's studies in Vilnius. Also I've a got very good job in DtecNet software international company as a anti-piracy and tools to change human factor in the company, division programmer(C#).

And I have no regrets about unfinishing my studies in KTU. (maybe I'll back there to finish my Master degree but it will be some time latter and with big MAYBE)

Now I'm very happy ( how to ) and will try to live with that.

My second discrete mathematics term paper is finished.

Last week I finished my discrete mathematics second term paper. It was pretty interesting and kinda very simple, the assignment was to create an algorithm to calculate Gaussian Inverse of matrix ( huh, work with old good matrix ) .


The features are:
# Unlimited* *(±5.0 × 10−324 to ±1.7 × 10308) matrix size (but C# dataGridView component is VERY and VERY slow...)
# Very fast calculation algorithm.

REPOST: My discrete mathematics term paper is finished.

Yesterday I finished my discrete mathematics term paper, it was about comparing two heuristics graph coloring algorithms, it’s RLF [Recursive Largest First] and DSATUR - named because of it’s saturation degree. It’s was pretty fun programming My findings was that RLF algo works faster, and kinda better.

h ere you can see a screenshoot:

REPOST: My new (old) thing for my ears.

Last week I bought iPod NANO Second Generation 4GB, and I’m really happy about it, it really worth that price, because it’s very small, VERY FAST working (no stuck’s, no glitches), battery life is up to 24 hours !! :), it’s easily synchronizes with my PC and all songs are updating automatically (not by default), and I can bring with my self about 1000 mp3. It’s just amazing.

I found just one minus, I don’t find photos possibility useful, IMHO apple could do iPod nano 2g more smaller and just for music and that you could see CD cover, that would be very enough :). So this is my opinion about my new techy thing.

REPOST: Some fresh news in Music organizing.

Do you have a lot of music? Do you organizing/tagging it by your self (like me) ? then keep reading.

I always was using Winamp 2.91 + HotKeys plugin, because it’s small, low memory usage and etc. I have about ~9000 songs. And I organizing my music by my very self, tagging by my self, tagging is most boring process… Until now. I downloaded newest Winamp version 5.5, and found pretty nice new feature “Auto-Tag”. Auto-Tag connects to Gracenote music databas , checks mp3 fingerprint (I think so ) and gets tags. So I tagged ALL my music in ~ 10 mins. Isn’t it cool ?

REPOST: Tools vol.1 (On Fresh System)

Now what about tools that my be useful to every one who works with pc more than 6 hours a day :) Then i reinstalled XP, first I installed was ant-virus(need to be fast, and with low memory usage), my choose was NOD32, because it’s very light and ultra fast. Also I installed, Mozilla Firefox, why ? because it’s best browser in the world! Also CCleaner to remove all kinds of junk. This was first software I installed on fresh system. Now I’ll prepare for work: fist I install Free Launch Bar and create structure like this :

Now I can install software I need and put shortcuts into right places.

REPOST: My New System.

Few weeks ago I both new laptop (my first one) Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi2528. It’s pretty nice laptop, BUT by default it has vista installed… I thought It might be cool to work with new OS, but vista s*x, yes it good looking, but that’s all.

1. Vista uses a lot of ram (if you work with Aero it might be about 1.5 GB ram usage).

2. Vista lags (my laptop is Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz).

Thats why, I as fast I could installed win XP, of course with some problems, I needed XP installation with integrated jRaid & SATA drivers.

I solve that pretty fast, just used nLite ( more here )

Now my system is full set up & ready to go

Next my post will be about Tools that I use, and recommend.
