Link Ladders

Link ladders is a game I made recently. The rule is simple, you choose two Wikipedia articles, or two YouTube videos, or two Twitter users, or other 2 pages on same site. Your goal is to go to the second page by only clicking the links, for Wikipedia or other wiki articles, you can only click on blue article links. On YouTube videos, you can only click on the links of the Related Videos. On Twitter/Facebook or profile pages, you can only click on the friends or followers. If you want a challenging puzzle, you can choose two different websites sites and get there by clicking any links.

You can play Link Ladders now, try to get from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess.

Here is the solution: (4 clicks)

  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Project
  2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GNU_packages
  3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Chess
  4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess

The skill required for this game is classification and knowledge. There are no difference between Linux and chess. However, there is a chess-playing program on Linux called GNU Chess, and GNU Chess is part of the GNU Project, and GNU Project is primarily for Linux.

One advantage of this game is that you can play in school or work while not being found. You only need Wikipedia, or your school/company’s official site.

This morning

I can’t think for a better title for this post. It was 9:34 in my place when this post was made.

I watched a useful YouTube video: Introduction to Algorithms: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPyuH4qXLZ0

It is about algorithms, and it is 1:20:35 long, because MIT is a sponsor on YouTube.

My mark in school was increasing, I got B in English, and +5% in Social Studies.
In last French class, I was about to get 0 in my test. That test was marked by students, so my friend feels guilty about I’m getting 0, so he filled some answers and let me get 7, I did not cheat, my friend did it.

YouTube Advertisements

When I was searching YouTube videos without AdBlock Plus turned on, I realized: Advertisements, they are inside the video and on the top of the description. When you searched for something on YouTube, a Featured Videos section will on the right, when you click on it, you will see advertisements on the video. That means, all Featured Video links linked to videos with advertisement. I think YouTube added it because YouTube needs money. Some videos has iTunes link to buy the song, a video that contain the Rick Roll song will show iTune link to “Never gonna give up” to buy it. The advertisements will make newbies complain about advertisements by posting comments, and it is not the upload’s fault. When YouTube got enough money, and enough users complained, YouTube will remove the ad.

I Didn’t Finished It

The last English homework was impossible to finish. No Internet, no copying, no cheating. Today is the due date. However, I will try to catch up in the morning, if it doesn’t work, I can do it in the French class, because French is boring and I don’t care about it. I have different expectations, I have extremely high expectations in Math, then Science, I have low expectations in English and Social Studies, then I have zero expectation in French.

If you say Math sucks, then I will say English, French and Social Studies suck, because they are what I sucked at.

I found a new Viacom supporter recently(yes, I’m still maintaining the list), it is CommanderLightning. The rank of that supporter is E, it seems he is alone.

Canvas Chat

Recently, I created a new PHP application, it is like a chat room, but you can send images instead of text.
To download the source code: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jgm2yn2qt5z.
To try it online, go to http://www.eeveeshq.com/canvaschat/, Kat uploaded it to her site, but that one is a custom build with integration to her website, so you need to register Eevee’s HQ to use it.
I originally posted in on Eevee’s HQ, and someone spammed it, at last, Nick said he did it.
asked Kat about it, In the next day, Kat said she was joking around.

YouTube is getting worse, big companies such as Disney were trying to make advertisement videos more visible on YouTube, YouTube is not for you, it is for THEM.

Let’s use Veoh.com if YouTube is getting bad.

Another Viacom Supporter Busted

In last summer vacation, I was keep wandering on YouTube to talk about Viacom stuff, because of Viacom video takedown, I made a lots of MUGEN videos and even an anti-Viacom forum. Viacom supporters are annoying on YouTube, so I made a list of Viacom supporters and their levels from E to S.
Now, Viacom backed up, however, I am still maintaining that list, today, I found a new Viacom supporter:
Name: MapleBiznat
Level: C
Evidence: http://www.youtube.com/user/ViacomCorp
I maintain the list at http://s1.zetaboards.com/DestroyViacom/topic/449194/1/?x=0 and other YouTube channels.
I’m not telling you to block or censor him, just in case if you hate Viacom and he caused mass disruption. Maybe you, as a member of Pokemon community (not YouTube community) doesn’t care.

I don’t get happy because of new YouTube features, I wanted YouTube community revolution, that means no more stupid comments, no more spam and YouTube should be moderated, or else, I will go to Veoh until YouTube changed.

Yesterday, I had an annoying teacher, in the math class, she keep telling me “This is the formula for …” and “Remember to …”, I’m not stupid. I hope she will be gone next week.
