When you use a computer attached to the school or company networks, you need to run VS 2005 as a local computer user (not a network user). Even if you are a member of admin and you have a full control to the machine, you may not be able to set a break point in you classic asp code.

It took more than a week to solve this problem with me. I think this is a kind of unique problem that not many people bump into. Here is a list of web pages about the classic ASP debugging issues.

Here is a summary for that from one of the web pages above.
1. Enable ASP debugging on the server. (I also added DEBUG verb to the asp extension, but I am not sure if it is required).
2. Open classic ASP in VS 2005.
3. Set breakpoint.
4. View page in browser or run without debugging.
5. Debug | Attach to Process
6. Locate IIS ASP worker process (w3wp.exe on IIS6, dllhost on IIS5) which exposes x86 and Script and attach as Script.

This is a test blog from Microsoft Word 2007. Is this going to work? Let me see…

Development of a Robot with a Sense of Self

It’s time to start newly my life. Our family had a terrible car accident, but incredibly we all survived. My fall semester has started, and anyway I have to continue working and studying. Many things are not settled down yet, becuause of extremely lengthy process, but ironically I think this is a good time to have a new start. Hum.. actually I don’t have any choice by the way.

Reboot! Tada~

Like I said I am going to give my MacBook to my wife. So, I tried to make a new user in the laptop. But there was a problem. The size of my iPhoto data files is around 12GB. If I made a new user, then my wife could not use the photo files. I would like to move those files to my wife’s account.

At first, I moved the original files from the iPhoto folder to the place where any user can access, and I made a new user for my wife. I logged in the computer as of my wife’s account. The only thing that I needed to do was to import all photos from the place that I saved before.

But it was gonna take a lot of time, because there were so many photo files. After a while, I canceled the importing process and logged in again as of my account. I simply tried to change my ‘Display Name’ without changing anything. It is gonna look good to my wife. It seemed good until I saw the ’short name’ on left pane of the Finder. It was ‘jrkwon’ which is, I believe, the user name. I thought this did not look good, so I simply renamed it by clicking right mouse button.

I simply changed the name, but the consequences were not that I expected.

Mac OS X seemed to make a new user by the name when I renamed it on the left pane of the Finder window. But I believe, the system still knew me as ‘jrkwon,’ even though the user name had changed already. When I ran iPhoto, it could not find the iPhoto Library. This is rediculous.

I was embassed, so that I tried to rename it from my wife’s name to jrkwon on the left pane of the Finder window, but I couldn’t, because the name ‘jrkwon’ was already used according to the error message.

At this point, I decided to redo all the work, so I changed the Display Name of ‘jrkwon’ from my wife’s name to my name. And simply added a new user for my wife. But can you imagine what hapepned? Mac OS X used my profile for my wife’s account somehow. And all of sudden, the profiles of ‘jrkwon’ which I was using were gone.

Now, ‘jrkwon’ has a new profle like a new user, and my wife’s account has my old profiles. All processes are so confusing. Aren’t they?

After some trials and errors, I successfully added my wife’s account using my old data including iPhoto files to the laptop.

It’s time to bid adieu to my MacBook. I have been using it for almost one year, and now I decide to give it to my wife. I liked MacBook, and I still like it, but I kinda doubt that I really need it. Sometimes I felt like having MacBook is too much for me considering our financial situation.

My wife needs new notebook computer, because hers is very unstable especially these days, so she can not rely on the computer when it comes to saving valuable data. We might need another notebook, but we cannot afford it. I have thought not having laptop computer is not bad idea for me.

I have used my MacBook for conducting my research, managing photos, email reader, and something like that. But I am seriously thinking that I really need to have it.

So, I am going to go for it. Not having my laptop computer.

When I tried to disconnect the cable TV at first, I could not imagine to live without it. But after living without the cable, it is not totally disastrous. It was OK, so I think this could be the case. I am going to be OK. At least I have computers in the office that I can use anytime. It makes me stick more to the office but I think this is good for me too, because actually it was not easy to concentrate my study when I stay at Austin.

Instead, I am going to buy a 500G hard drive to save my data from MacBook on about 140 dollars including shipping and handling. I am going to use the old computer at home when I have to use a computer.

OK, Adieu MacBook.

I know there are a lot of virtual desktop applications, but I am just trying to say that it is very useful especially if you are working on more than one things at the same time.

Like I said before, we have lots of choices but we can find one of them from Microsoft Power Toy. I found out it is quite useful. Microsoft Virtual Desktop is well integrated to the OS, so it is easy to use. It provides four desktops, and I can chose a background for each desktop. For me, the first one is used for the project that I have been working now, and the second one is for my on-going research. The third desktop is for relaxing me such as web surfing and things like that. I haven’t decided yet the purpose of the fourth desktop.

Anyway, it is quite convenient if you turn off ’share desktop’ in the menu option. It makes me feel like I have four different computers for each purpose.

I think somebody might try to crack on my bank account. When I tried to login last night, I was not able to do it. I think this is because somebody else might try to login with an incorrect password more than several times. The account is supposed to be block automatically if the trial is exceeded to some number of trials. Fortunately I am using a kind of a strong password type which is not easy to guess or break.
I was kinda surprised because I always think the security system of banks in the United States is not strong enough. When I was in Korea, online accounts in banks are protected in several steps, so sometimes I felt it is too enough. But surprisingly there was a guy who broke the several steps security blocks, so that banks should add one more steps to block the security hole.

Gas price is skyrocketing. Almost whenever I fill her up, I saw a new price tag which is higher than before. News say that the US is addicted to oil, so people do not give up to use their car.

But, hey, guys.. the US people can’t live without cars, because it is not easy to buy even a gum without driving a car. Before saying the oil addiction, please make some reasonable public transportation and build many small stores around home instead of big Wallmarts or HEBs so that we can go there to buy something on foot.

A UK artist ate a chunk of corgi dog which is the breed favored by Elizabeth II to protest British royals’ fox hunt. After eating it, he said that the taste is not good and disgusting.

Hey, Englishman. It’s not because of the dog meat, but because that the cook doesn’t know how to cook it.

I got a grade of one of my course that I took this semester today. It was bad even though I got A. This is not kidding. Here is what happened. I actually failed (again!) to get experimental results that I promised in the proposal. The project portion was 40%, and I got only 85 points from the project. I barely got A because of the poor point of the project, again. What I mean ‘again’ is that I got B because of the project from one of courses that I took last fall semester. I was good before the final project. The homework scores were not bad, so it was (or was supposed to be) a piece of cake to get A. But what really happened was I got a terrible score for the project.

I think I have some problems to make schedule to do something. When I look back, this is not the first time, even look back more. I almost always failed to finish something in time. What is wrong with you, man!
