Re: My friend Gwen

Tony Chung — Sat, 21 Jul 2012 05:25:06 -0000

I haven't heard from "Gwen" since the last time I spoke with her mom almost a quarter century ago. Once in awhile I search for her on Google and Facebook, but she doesn't want to be found. Most of the introverted people i knew back then wouldn't post things publicly.

Lydia, the fact you still struggle is an encouragement that you believe you can win this war. I'll be rooting for you.

Thanks. It's kind of weird to put myself "out there" like this. It will take some getting used to.

Very touching post, Tony.

Thank you for including my blog post in yours. I am sorry to hear about your friend's struggles, have you heard anything from her since then? As a person that has struggled with an eating disorder for 4 years, I identify with Gwen. Anybody with an ED cannot believe anyone would want them. Especially once their secret comes to light. It's embarrassing to have your friends/family discover your problem. We think, from a distorted perspective, that people believe we are our disease. That we can only be looked at as creatures. You did the right thing, reaching out to another person based solely on who she was and not what she did behind closed doors. Thank you for your post.

Lydia.

Thanks Cousin. It means a lot that you felt something from the music. My friend Dave, recorded me and played the electric guitar. I told him that when the solo kicked in I cried, it sounded so rich!

I can't wait 'til you guys move down here so we can hang out. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing this in your blog. It made me think about why I have felt inadequate at times. Was it because I really was or because I wasn't feeling "important".

I wouldn't feel too bad, Tony. I have seen that clip dubbed over many different times and never felt that it was out of line.

Re: Yamaha Motif XS8 for sale or trade

Hi John: While I appreciate that the new XF series exists, and the XS series has been discontinued, I've played the XF and find it to be identical to my XS, except for the additional ROM samples that give the new piano sound in the user bank. I really can't accept less than $3200 for my keyboard, due to the cost. Note that even the discontinued model costs about the same price, only taxes are added to it.

Re: How much do your kids know about sex?

Tony Chung — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 23:31:42 -0000

Thank you for providing this additional information. I agreed with the presentation she gave to the parents at my kids' school, but I do not agree with promoting abortion for any reason. I followed the link to your site and was disturbed by the information. I'll leave your comment on my site to aid your promotion. This is my main reason for posting this stuff online, to invite others to share their knowledge as well.

Re: Drupal 7, Panels and Hitler?

Tony Chung — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 23:25:11 -0000

Wow Sam. I'm sorry you feel that way. You found my post from last year that linked to a video where the creator wrote subtitles about the Drupal website CMS over a scene from a Hollywood movie. The video has long since been taken offline due to copyright infringement.

It was in no way meant to glamourize Hitler or the Nazi regime. I apologize for leading you to think that I was doing so.

Re: Drupal 7, Panels and Hitler?

Sam Yeul — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 05:03:21 -0000

Do you really have to post this garbage? Talking about Hitler is to Germans like calling a person of Oriental ancestry a chink or slope or fishhead or zipperhead etc... Go ahead and learn from history about what to avoid or not do and by all means in the proper setting discuss the pros and cons of Hitler, but whenever some asian dude like you decides that it's ok to make fun of Hitler, Jewish people like me think you are making lite of something that was a disgusting chapter in human history.

I disagree with 80% of Saleema's DVD presentation. This is what she said on her DVD,"...we should be careful not to scare teens from having sex. Afterall, teens need to experience pleasure too!" Why on earth would I want promiscuity foisted upon my teen. Saleema's website also contains lots of links to abortion clinics - Saleema assumes parents approve of abortion. The websites Saleema recommends also teaches teens that they can get an abortion without parental consent in B.C. Absolutely disgusting! There is alot of research linking abortion & birth control pills to elevated breast cancer risk. Saleema completely neglects to tell her audience this critical information.

Hey Liam: My time costs just a bit more than that, but let me point you in the right direction. My information about get_post() is only half right. A better method would be to set up different instances of the WP_Query() object for your sidebars. Then create separate loops.

Oh, and remember when you do so, that wp_reset_query() is your friend.

Re: WordPress: How to show a specific post or page

Liamhassimi — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 12:55:53 -0000

Hi there, been looking around for ages for a solution to my problem. Basically I want to display the 2 most recent posts out of the loop in a widget which will be placed above the loop so that it shows the 2 most recent posts in full and the rest smaller with thumbnails.

Thus explaining the difficulty having with displaying the two most recent posts outside the loop. Would be great if you could help me with this and I will happily give you £20.

Yours,
Liam [http://www.tsty.co.uk/blog/

Thank you Carmine

Someone sent me a chat message through my Meebo Me ( I don't know when), but I lost the message. He asked the question, "How much does the keyboard weigh?"

Well, the big 88-noter is rated at 66 lbs., but feels about 90 lbs. The problem is that it's really bulky for me to cart around on a regular basis. I'm not sure the 76-noter will be less bulky, but the 37.5 lbs. rating is quite attractive.

If you're the one who sent me a chat message, use my contact form at http://tonychung.ca/contact/ and I'll get back to you ASAP.

The resources cite conflicting dates for when Francesco Cirillo developed the Pomodoro Technique. While he developed the method in the late 1980s, he crafted it in the early 1990s, and it took hold in the development community later in the decade.
