w3schools has a great CSS Reference which I find very useful.

I had a major change in my 4 year plan this last week. Previously I was a double major with Math and Computer Science, and had my schedule all worked out to do that and graduate in Spring 2006.

To put it bluntly, it wasn’t working out for me. I didn’t enjoy math as much as I thought I would, so it was a chore everytime I had to look at homework for any of my math classes. I weighed my pros and cons, and realized that it’s best for me to drop the Math second major and just make it a minor, leaving off 2 math classes and leaving me more time to do what I’d rather do.

I also updated my 4 year plan document.

Lots of people rave about Winamp 5, the latest version of the music playing application. I haven’t liked winamp since the original version; they have always had some problems for me. I’ve used the standard Windows Media player to play my music for years.

However, after using Winamp 5, I don’t think I could go back. The `internet radio` selection is incredible for winamp. They have a large selection of radio stations where you can listen to any genre you like.

I made a playlist of all of the stations that I like listening to. It includes
HitzRadio (pop)
CLUB 977 (pop)
HOT 108 JAMZ (hip hop, r&b)
ChroniX Aggression (rock, alternative)
wazee (alternative)
Smoothbeats (hip hop)
Roots Radio (rap, hip hop, r&b)

What’s more, I tried this later and all of these stations work on Windows Media player… so I don’t need to have Winamp installed to listen to these stations.

Winamp also has some “live tv stations”, but I don’t use that. It looks like it could potentially be cool, however.

I wanted to make one of these for awhile… Amazon has a huge list of products, and I’ve purchased from them quite a bit. So I made a wishlist with them that I can add stuff to occasionally, and buy as need arises.

I’ve had enough problems with this to know that I need to write down what I need to do to install mysql on FreeBSD. Here are the steps I took to do it successfully.

cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql41-server/
make install clean
/usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db
chown -R mysql /var/db/mysql/
chgrp -R mysql /var/db/mysql/
/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe –user=mysql &
/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin -u root password newpassword

Edit 8/17:
{edit /etc/rc.conf and add}
mysql_enable="YES"
Thanks lucas

That works.
