What's Buzzing? - Kacang Putih Stall Back In Tesco Ipoh

I was glad to hear that the kacang putih stall is back in Tesco Ipoh Garden. Its big omapadi ( I am not sure if that is what you would call it - but it is orange brown in colour) is different from the others - usually sweeter and taste nicer than most of the other ones in Ipoh. It is now located near Restaurant Pelita. Before, it used to be in front of the Tesco food court.

What's Buzzing? - Lightning Struck Computers

This year so far three computers have been struck down by lightning. Usually it is the motherboards  that are  spoilt but most of the other parts  are working. Still I read somewhere that it is often advisable to replace most parts of the computer after a lightning strike.As there weren't many pcs left in the house,  I had to build one the other day. The result was okay except the the inbuilt network adaptor wasn't working so I bought a wireless one. Had been experimenting with some of the old motherboards and power supplies. One of the motherboards got burnt and one of the capacitors in a power supply blew up - literally! It sort of went pop and smoke was  around for a few seconds.

When the lightning struck - it not only took down the computers but the modems and the printer as well. The lightning was so strong that even though the computers were off, they were still struck down. Now  we usually remove the socket after use or before any  signs of lightning coming.

What's Buzzing? - Patron Saints

St Francis of Assisi - pets
St Gemma Galgani - headache
St Joseph- unemployment

Vanessa Williams - "Where Do We Go From Here"

I was looking for some songs for my tablet pc and came across this catchy one from the 90s. Almost like a classical pop song if that is the right way to describe it.

Pet Shop Boys - "Love Comes Quickly"

One of my favourite songs of the 80s.

What's Buzzing? - Saving and Loading for Maxima on Android

Update:-  Have found a much better way to save and load  for Maxima on Android. Here it is:-


stringout("/sdcard/saveddata.mac",input);

The above will save  the file "saveddata" in the directory sdcard.

batch("/sdcard/saveddata.mac");

This will load the file.  To load in Windows, you need to click on File and  then Batch File.
Below was what I wrote earlier which saves in a lisp file that is hard to access on Windows.




I finally managed to find out how to save and load for Maxima on Android. I don't understand why the dev did not put them  in his latest website but they were on an older one that had been saved at archive.is.

Anyway here is  how it is done:-

save("/sdcard/saveddata",all);

The above will save  the file "saveddata" in the directory sdcard.

load("/sdcard/saveddata");

This will load the file. At this point there may be an error being displayed but it can be ignored. 

 playback();

 The above command will play back the file.

Editing still can't be carried out and it is  still not as user friendly as the Windows one but can't expect too much from such a new version of it.
