“The windows installer service cannot update one or more protected windows files”
- From the Windows install disk, or c:\i386 that may have been set up in an OEM install, open (double-click) on the FP40EXT.CAB file. It should open.
- Find fp4ault.dll in the archive

Daphne Loves Derby – Simple, Starving to be Safe
One of my favourite acoustic songs (Youtube)
Lately I’ve been thinking so strangely about the clouds
and how they seem to slowly fade away, yeah…
Maybe someday we will find a way to disappear,
Just me and you on silver lining dreamsOhh, how could I survive without your love, and the hope you bring
Ohh, even when the sky is falling down, I know I have you and it’s all I needLately I’ve been hoping you could stay with me
And I could hold you close ’til the end of time, yeah…
Maybe someday we will grab some change and run away
But for now I’ll learn to say goodbyeOhh, how could I survive without your love, and the hope you bring
Ohh, even when the world is breaking down, I know I have you and it’s all I needOhh, she is my everything
Ohh, she is all I need
Ohh, she is my everything…
Ohh, she is all I need.Ohh, how could I survive without your love, and the hope you bring
Ohh, even when the world just falls apart, I know I have you, and it’s all I need
Takagi Masakatsu – One By One By One
A song that I like to listen to every now and then because of how calming it is 
So cold these days
To think how we used to say,
“It was too hot”
The cold sun can’t warm meOne by one
The stars went out
We closed our eyes, our ears
There is no flood, don’t need no boat
One by one by oneThose tiny, tiny hands that held us tight
Without their grip we slipped and fell too farOne by one
We let them go
We closed our eyes, our ears
There is no flood, don’t need no boat
One by one by oneAnd now it won’t stop, it won’t stop raining
It won’t stop, it won’t stop raining
It won’t stop, it won’t stop raining
It won’t stop, it won’t stop raining, raining
It won’t stop, it won’t stop rainingOne by one by one
Philosophy on Love
“What is love?” is a question that everyone probably asks themselves. Is love a chocolate cake? Is it a one-night stand? Is it infatuation? Is it purely sexual gratification, or is it purely emotional support?
While it’s very subjective, love undoubtedly exists universally, across cultures, and is one of the major sources of motivation. Physical appearance is a major concern with many people, and what naturally correlates with this is love, or at least the hope of garnering attention.
Back to the big question, I believe that love is basically a solidified relationship between two people, solidified by sacrifices made between the two people, overcoming of hurdles, and mutual understanding. While it’s possible to “get lucky” and fall in “love” with a potential life-partner who you’ve only met for less than a month, I believe that in order to fall in love with the “right” person, you’ll need to be with them for more than a year to better understand their personality, likes/dislikes, friends, strengths, and most importantly, their weaknesses (vices).
People are blinded by love, especially if they’re in the early stages of their relationship. They overlook their partner’s flaws. I have a habit of thinking in the long-term, which makes it very hard for me to fall into a relationship. One of the biggest things I consider is marriage (age to get married, parental approval, wedding type, estimated lifestyle changes, etc.).
I’ve always admired the passage in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, although I don’t agree with “Love never fails”. Love, both ordinary and true, fail. The different between the two types of love is that in true love, failures are only boulders in a river, metaphorically speaking.
Windows Live Messenger + Webcam
I was having problems being able to view my friends’ webcam on WLM. I tried re-installing WLM (which is the reason for the previous post), opening up specific ports in my router (WRT54GL flashed with Tomato firmware), and even checking to see if OpenDNS and/or my adblock script in my router were somehow blocking a port or IP address required for webcam sessions.
I just enabled UPnP in my router, restarted my computer, logged into WLM and tried viewing my friend’s webcam again, and it worked!
Note: there seems to be security concerns revolving around UPnP, but right now I’m just ecstatic enabling UPnP solved this problem
Uninstall Windows Live Messenger
I couldn’t find “Windows Live Messenger” in the Add/Remove Programs window (in XP), so I had to search for an alternative solution.
I found one here, where it says to go to Start => Run and paste the following in the textbox: msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}
Kon-Boot
http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/
Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a linux kernel (and now Windows kernel also!!!) on the fly (while booting). In the current compilation state it allows to log into a linux system as ‘root’ user without typing the correct password or to elevate privileges from current user to root. For Windows systems it allows to enter any password protected profile without any knowledge of the password.Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a linux kernel (and now Windows kernel also!!!) on the fly (while booting).

I haven’t tested the above, but I have tested another one that works only for Windows systems named “Offline NT Password & Registry Editor”: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

Night Routine

- Go on laptop to check for any new emails or listen to some music
- Lock laptop and close lid

Disable NoScript “Changelog” page from auto-loading after update
If you notice that a page has been loading after every time you update the NoScript add-on in Firefox, you can disable it by typing about:config in your address bar, and setting noscript.firstRunRedirection to false (you can do so by simply double-clicking on it). Apparently there is some debate over why this page loads after every update, and why there seems to be so many frequent updates.
