I will be back, but till then I though it’d be cool to draw some of your attention to one of my friends whom also blogs on my hosting… Her names Cletae… least I think that’s her name. Ha

Check her blog out and how she carries herself as strong as she does. !

First I had to become enlightened how the boot process of an Android Phone works. Now I’m no OS or java junkie by any means but I like to get down in the dirt sometimes and mess things up. So off to the web I went. I googled and binged for information about what boot loaders where and how kernels functioned, but in the long run I just kind of got myself all confused. However I’m taking this moment to tell you everything in this article is basically an educational guess of what I think this stuff means.

Boot Loader: This from my understanding is the piece of code that sits on the device that basically tells the nothing entity how to start up the device, and to start running the installed OS’s kernel. This piece of code lives on the system’s “motherboard” in her chips and usually is specific to the device it’s contained in.

Kernel: The kernel is like a layer between the Hardware and the Operating system it’s self. It provides the ability to read/write I/O devices, manage resources, and set up an use a file system. Over all it basically provides connections between the OS and the physical system it’s self.

Operating System: This one should be easy to know. Your using one right now to read this webpage in fact. Maybe your on a mobile phone that runs Android, IOS, or Windows Phone. If not your probably using Linux, Windows or Mac. These are all types of Operating systems. It’s code on top of the kernel that allows for user interaction. Obviously though if the user is interacting with the OS it’s flowing through the kernel to do so, don’t get the two confused. The OS provides a GUI interface for the user to enjoy while managing the kernel to do the work of reading/writing to a flash drive, or getting data from the network card.

Hopefully that clears something up for you. Enjoy!

While doing my casual search through the web I noticed a device that caught my attention with the name of Twine. I though it sounded a bit like twitter so I decided to check it out. Searches brought me to their kick starter page.

It is a simple device that allows for simple home automation. From $100 to $200 dollars each, I find that these devices seem quite affordable for the everyday user.

“Twine is the simplest way to get the objects in your life texting, tweeting or emailing.” – From Their Homepage

This seems like a pretty robust way of automation. Basically you stick a small box with a sensor in it, around your home and program it via a webpage to do what you’d like.

Example, you want to know when the door opens at home and when it shuts. Then based off the fact you bought the Twine with the motion sensor, you can attach it to your door, program it, and enjoy a tweet or text when the door is moved. Open. Shut.

I think this small device, as it grows more popular and gets cheaper in price will become a great success for everyday home owners who want to spice up their homes with some nifty features.

Enjoy!

Also for those that don’t know, I am competing in a Network Design Proposal for State. So far me and my team have put around 20 hours into the project.. and hopefully will have around 10 to 20 more hours by the end of these next 2 weeks or so. Please give us your best as we make our march on to state in March.

Here is a picture to help you better understand the situation I am stuck in.

Now I have tried unlinking the accounts from their respectful YouTube setting pages. However every time I try to relink the account to the different Google accounts they just won’t do it. It gives me errors that the other accounts are already linked to a different Google account. This is really begging to tick me off.

Also I did make one of my accounts before May 2009 so I did try my luck at the “My Account Unlink” page, however still didn’t give me any edge to fixing my problem.
