A Wasted Day

Wasted a whole day figuring out how to bootcamp Window 7 on my old Macbook (2006 late) without ODD. Thing I’ve tried:

  1. rEfit method with 32bit and 64bit images — didn’t work throwing out errors that firmware didn’t support. Now I trust the message
  2. Virtual Machine method — creating bootcamp partition as virtual disk and installing initial files to the disk and continue after rebooting. This almost worked but threw out message that the copied files was missing a file. Here is the link

Mission to create window-only machine for quick access was a fail. No plan to buy external odd just for this one (by the way Macbook Air Superdrive which I have doesn’t work on the old macbook either). Probably too much of a luxury anyway.

Django Forward Declaration

TIL that:

For relational fields that comes after the class refer with single quotation

class Quotations(models.Model):
    quoted_date = models.DateField(verbose_name="Quoted Date")
    price = models.FloatField(verbose_name="Quoted Price")
    machine = models.ForeignKey('**Machine**', verbose_name = "Associated Machine")
    def __unicode__(self):
        return u"%s %s" %(self.machine.name,self.quoted_date,self.price)

class Machine(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
    manufacturer = models.CharField(max_length = 30)
    manufactued_date = models.DateTimeField(verbose_name="Date Manufactuered")
    category = models.ForeignKey(MachineType,verbose_name = "category of machine")
    quotation = models.ManyToManyField(Quotations,verbose_name="Quotations History")
def __unicode__(self):
    return self.name

This will make the declaration work.

아무리 눌러도 신호가 안가고 다음번걸 눌르니 가지. 포기할 뻔했다..

서구적 한국인

가끔 서구논리/문화에 치우쳐 말을하고 있는것이 아닌가 스스로에 제동을 건다. 동양/한국 고유의 문화/논리에 대해 무지한것 아닌지. 그래서 파보면  대부분 실망 : 고집/자기방어외 실체가 없는 경우가 대부분이다. 가장 대표적인 예가 언어이다. 표준어 집착 그만하자 좀.

Macbook Air - First Impression

Impressed: 

1. Speaker - won’t need external speaker for the life of this machine. period. 

2. Screen - brilliant especially compared to my slowly-flickering-away-to-death macbook.

3. Performance - lesser cpu power but about 3 times faster in actual usage

4. Heat - hardly any at all compared to macbook who must’ve had identity-crisis (that she was a server, fanning alllll the time)

Not so impressed: 

1. Touchpad: a bit too hard for a click. Guess all-in-one trackpad takes getting used to.

Sunbath- thoughts about resting

When I smoked, resting was natural. For all the terrible things it does to my body, it gave me 5 minutes of flushing the stack in my head. Going Blank. Helps. Period (Is this double period?) Incredibly therapeutic. Now, my idea of resting is browsing internet, going through my twitter time lines. That’s not a rest. It’s like opening your eyes for too long. At the end of day, I feel like…like heavy-smoking day. Ironic.
