I just installed this driver and was finally able to set a resolution of 1280x800. https://bearwindows.zcm.com.au/vbe9x.htm I used the "128mb" folder. My laptop is a ThinkPad R61i. Here is how I selected the driver : - Right click the desktop and click Properties. - Settings > Advanced > Adapter tab > Change - Point Windows to the 128mb folder. - Reboot - Set the resolution.

Paint was not installed by default on my Windows 98 laptop. I had to go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Windows Installation > Accessories > Paint. I also installed the games.

I just got Wi-Fi to work on Windows 98 SE. The only problem is that I must disable the password on my network. I dedicated a router for this computer and configured it so that it only accepts my PC's MAC address. Wi-Fi is easier than Ethernet, go figure. (I would still prefer to use Ethernet) I only had to install the driver for my PCMCIA Wi-Fi card and enter the SSID in the network settings in Control Panel.

Here is a photo I took of my Windows 98 laptop on which I installed a PCMCIA Belkin Wi-Fi network card.

A few days ago, I watched half of the new Indiana Jones movie. I didn't like it.

It's always the food. I don't get why restaurant owners don't realize that by themselves instead of having Gordon tell them. http://tv.philippe97.ca/Kitchen%20Nightmares/

When you set a border to the <body>, the border is attached to the browser's UI and is outside the scrollbar. On modern browsers, the <body> border is inside the scrollbar and the bottom part of the border is only visible if you scroll to the end of the page. In IE5, the bottom part of the border is always visible. Here is a screenshot of my website's blue border.

Instead of having the cars drive themselves, what about having the cars be driven by random people online with video game controllers. Random people driving random cars. It might just work.

I remember a MythBusters episode where Jamie and Adam RC-ed a taxi and joked about having the taxi pick people up with no one in the front seat. I can't find the episode.

I find time travel much easier to understand if you look at it from the environment's perspective instead of the traveler's perspective. Here's an example from a house's perspective : - There is a house, it is empty. - Someone from the future suddenly appears and says hello. - That person disappears and goes back to the future. - The younger version of the person enters the house through the front door. - That person disappears and goes back into the past. - The person comes back from the past. If you look at time travel from the environment's perspective, there are no paradoxes. If you look at time travel from the traveler's perspective, some people will imagine two pasts : - One where the guy from the future is not there. - One where the guy from the future is there. This messes everything up. Oh, and I find completely retarded the theory where every choice we do as a human creates a parallel universe. Even if you make a choice, the chemical reactions in your brain can have only one outcome. The way I see it, there is only one path and everything can only go one way.

Remember that Facebook is competing the Internet and is not a part of it. It is not a website. They have a website on the Internet only to give people access to their Internet-competing "network". It annoys me when people use the term "Internet" instead of "Facebook". They used to talk about "Internet addiction" when in reality they were talking about "Facebook addiction". "Social media" annoys me too. Can't we be honest and call things what they are. Don't say "social media", say "Facebook".

I just added links in the pages to go to the previous or next month. I also took the opportunity to reorganize the various PHP scripts that make this blog work. I was thinking of sharing my blog's code on my website.

I wonder if the astronauts stepped over the first step. I suppose the first step would be very close to the ladder and would be easy to step over and mess it up.

I finally got Windows 98 to connect to a Samba share on my linux server. I had to add this to my smb.conf : server min protocol = NT1 and restart smbd.

This is a test for my image uploader. Hello :)
Saturday, July 15, 2023 at 2:23 PM
I changed how images are displayed on my blog. It used to be that you would see a miniature of the images right under the article. Now, there is an "Images" link that links to a page with all the images for that article. I wanted my blog software to work on servers that don't have my .image PHP script. I am now at version 7. http://code.philippe97.ca/blog/

I made two PHP scripts to navigate our vacation photos. http://code.philippe97.ca/vacation/ I believe they are safe. I tested them with telnet to make sure that you cannot put ../ in the URL and get access to other files on the server. /Something/../ works /Something/../../ gives a 400 error

I used to believe that isset() returned true on null variables. It returns false. I learned this while writing my blog's software.

The river in our backyard overflowed and we lost a lot of stuff we had lying on the ground. We lost a balloon, a pool thermometer's floaty thing and various pieces of wood. The water also moved half of a broken barbecue and a big log to the other end of the backyard.

Our chainsaw starts well, but as soon as we give it gas, it puffers and dies. We already changed the gas, added chain oil and sanded the spark plug. It still doesn't work well. Next step is to look at the "Troubleshooting" part of the manual.

Over the past few months, my dad has been building the second bathroom. Yesterday, me, my dad and my mom installed the big glass pane for the shower and my dad put the silicone. The shower is rectangle. Two walls are tiled, one is made of glass and one is left open. The hardware is on the small tiled wall and its opposite is open. Looking at the shower hardware, the left wall is glass and the right one is tiled. Today, we tested the hardware. We want to make sure that splashes do not escape the shower. The rain shower is OK and the telephone shower is OK too. But the "normal" shower splashes water everywhere and escapes the shower.

We failed to get our gasoline chainsaw to work. We changed the fuel filter and the spark plug and it still doesn't work properly. It starts, but it dies as soon as we give it gas. My dad bought a new electric chainsaw on Amazon. We should get it tomorrow. Hopefully, it will work better.
Friday, July 28, 2023 at 9:46 AM
We got out brand new electric chainsaw yesterday, it works great.
