My First Geeky Post

Earlier this afternoon, while sitting in one of those lecture rooms with my mind not really on the lecture for some reasons, I thought of doing a post about a very simple Prime Number Generator program, which was originally made by me, including the algorithm used. Visual Basic was my program of choice. Because I was bored in one of the lectures that I was attending, I formulated my own algorithm, just to keep my eyes wide open. Because, I don't understand or refuse to understand the complex way of determining a prime number (like the Sieve of Eratosthenes and Bit Array Improvement), I used the definition of a prime number as my basis for my algorithm. A prime number is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors -- one and itself. From there, I hit it.  I thought of having just one input and this is the number of prime numbers ( H ) that you would want to display. Pressing the pushbutton would show the H prime numbers in a textbox. Wha...

The Bad and The Happy

Hello, online and offline friends! Stalkers, you're very much welcome too. :) Here's a happy picture: [ my instagram pics ] [1] Me in sweater, drinking my Macadamia-flavored coffee, [2] Me in sweater eating pistachio ice cream.

The subscriber part kind of gets me ...

A History Not So Long Ago

I have made a pact with myself a few months ago to read all my electronic and communications books for the upcoming ECE board exams next year. However, when I got to the part,FAQs: The Internet & WWW, I had a hard time concentrating when my laptop with an internet connection is just a mere 4 feet away from me. Walking away from my boring study table and sitting on the shining throne sitting in front of my Compaq would be effortless. Congratulate me though, I finished reading the entire chapter before I plunge into this sweetest escape, the Internet. But first, I want to give credits to a bunch of geniuses for providing humanity an intangible space, in which they can boldly do incredible things. First off, to the US Military, for developing and deploying communications networks,one of which is the ARPANET, which is, in turn, believed to be the precursor of the Internet. To the National Science Foundation (NSF) for administering the research of the Internet. Basically, the Inte...
