SunRIP: 1982-2010

Sun Microsystems, Inc was founded on February 24, 1982 and on January 27, 2010 Sun was aquired by Oracle Corporation for 7.4 billion dollars.

you can read up about what Sun has done in the past 28 odd years on the wikipedia

i used sun machines since 2000 and they have been the most awesome and reliable systems out there. it is sad as to what happened with them.

so what happened you are asking yourself? here is a nice article on Network World from last year.

“The biggest reason for Sun’s downfall is “the inability to recognize the x86 open architecture, as opposed to what they were selling with the Sparc processors”

this is old but still fraking funny!

palindrome day

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted).

seems like i made it through to the next round in the Nerdies 2010 !

to get into the next round i need to rack up as many votes as possible from you guys!

i could say if you don’t leave a comment and vote for me every hour  this kitten will kill you and everyone else who doesn’t vote, but that would just be pointless cause i’d lose all my awesome friends. what if i said i will donate R5 or R10 for every vote i get to The Wet Nose Foundation? i might even adopt this kitten and make sure it doesn’t kill you if i get through till the end!

to vote please leave a comment for @Arcainus on Nerdies 2010

sorry i have not blogged at all in the last 2 day but i was swamped with a deadline i had to make for today. i was in the process of a total makeover for Chisani Creations because jquery broke on the other design and it was about time i made Chisani on a more professional design. there are still one or 2 things still needed to be done but that will happen in due time. my wife is an amazing designer and motivator. thanks for keeping me sane this weekend!

i came across this video which to me is so epically awesome i just had to show you guys. even though it was from EVO 2004

Daigo Umehara is a renowned arcade fighting video game player. he specializes in 2D arcade fighting games, mainly those released by Capcom. Known as “The Beast” in the west and “Umehara” or “Ume” in Japan. check more on his bio on wikipedia

what makes this simply epic is the following as someone explained it:

he didnt block, he parried, which is harder to do than a block… you don’t lose damage when you parry, but each kick/punch has to be countered one by one… so each punch/kick thrown by chun-li was properly parried by Daigo, and he even parried in the air right before his final attack… what’s epic is what lead to Daigo getting so pissed, chun li kept using her special and draining Daigo, which sent him into that frenzy you? see above.

well here is the famous video, enjoy!
