Many worlds theory

I have recently become very obsessed with the many worlds theory. The theory that says there exists an infinite number of universes, which also means there exists an infinite number of versions of me which are all a little bit or a lot different. It started after re watching some episode of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon mentions this theory. I started doing some research, wikipedia, YouTube videos and eventually found an episode of "The Universe" about this. So it turns out there's some scientists who are pretty serious about it. Actually there's theories about four different kinds of multiple universes, meaning infinite^4 universes.

I forgot if there was anything I wanted to say with this. Anyway I find it quite an interesting philosophical subject. That there might be some version of me that has done things a bit differently makes you really wonder what those differences could have affected. It also gives a kind of calm, knowing that if there's something I don't get done there will always be a version of me that does. So that thing still get's done in some universe somewhere. Maybe even in multiple other universes. Something that also hit me at one point, is that I really owe the other versions of me to not chicken out of doing something, because even if I'm not successful there will always be a version of me that is. Ofcouse the theory would suggest that even if I don't try some versions of me will.

I just saw "Another Earth" which deals with something like this, however it's a mirror version of earth that suddenly appears close to earth. And they ask at some point what would you do if you met the mirror version of yourself. And I thought what would I do if I met another version of me from a multiple universe. And I would ask him about how he is different from me and find out how those differences has changed his life, what he has learned from them that I haven't because I did something different. So as to learn from him, learn more about myself.

Groceries

A look at the groceries I bought today.

Kopa teaches PHP: URL routing done simple

URL routing is to have an url called something like "kopasite.net/records/pack/TKT/" instead of "kopasite.net?records.php?pack=TKT", using somewhat same principle as the $_GET variables to include pages. It can be done pretty complicated, but in the end it's just a matter of dividing the url into a number of variables that you use to include pages ect.

To do URL routing modrewrite needs to be turned on in your PHP installation.

First off you need to add some stuff to your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ajax - [L]
RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|txt|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php

 First line turns the rewriting on. Second line makes an exception that the folder ajax will not be used for rewriting. I'm doing that as I have an actual folder called ajax with php files in it, that I otherwise will not be able to call with ajax functions as it would redirect them to index.php. Third lines redirects any files except the file types mentioned to your index.php file. So that means whatever link you make on your site it will redirect to index.php.

When it does that you can in your index.php file make an include that will include another .php according to the url.

So in your index.php or some route.php that is included in index.php you make the following code:

$already_there = str_replace('index.php', '', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$slightly = str_replace($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$uri = str_replace($already_there, '', $slightly);

This part does some manipulation with the url and gives a string with anything after your domain name, the part that will decide which page to include.

if($uri != ""){
    $pieces = array_filter(explode("/", $uri));
    if(count($pieces) == 3){
        $s = $pieces[0];
        $p = $pieces[1];
        $t = $pieces[2];
    }elseif(count($pieces) == 2){
        $s = $pieces[0];
        $p = $pieces[1];
    }elseif(count($pieces) == 1){
        $s = $pieces[0];
    }
}

This parts sets up to three variables that you can use to include pages or do other stuff with, like you'd use $_GET values. First line checks if the string is empty, if it is we don't set any variables ofcourse. Second line divides the url into an array, dividing by /'s, as well as removes any empty values from the array, which can happen if the url ends with an /. You can also use any other symbol like a dot or whatever if you like. You could stop now and use the variables $pieces[0] ect. in your scripts. I don't want to have them in an array so I do some more. The next if else part makes sure we don't set any values if we have nothing to put into them. It simples makes the variables $s for section, $p for page and $t for tab in that order if they exists, which I in turn use to include other pages.

For example on index.php I have this code:

$sections = array("records", "news", "info", "contest", "download", "community", "tools");
      if(in_array($s, $sections)){
              include "$s.php";
      }

First line is the different sections I have on my site, which I use to make sure it doesn't include a page that doesn't exist. Next it checks if $s exists in this array I made and then include a php file with that name.

And that's it.

There is just one more thing to remember. When you are on the url "kopasite.net/records/pack/TKT/" for example it will still think you're inside a folder. So if you have any pictures or css files ect. you need to set an absolute link to these. Like:

<img src="/images/logo.png">

Instead of:

<img src="images/logo.png"> 

The wonder that is jQuery

After someone asking wether I had any plans for use some jQuery stuff on EOL site, I got curious and checked it out. This resulting in me using it for some features on NAVOK I've had planed for a long time. Some rather simple showing and hiding of something, but with jQuery it was quite a lot simpler than it usually would be. I can only recommend it for your future javascript and ajax needs. I have not yet tried it out for ajax but it seems as straight forward.

Dreaming in english

So I had this interesting dream last night. Have been thinking about it multiple times throughout the day, and then suddenly it hit me, that the whole dream was in english. So I started thinking about this and I'm pretty sure it's something that happens from time to time. I just thought that was kind of funny, weird, interesting. Ofcourse it makes sense, since I spend a lot of the day writing, reading, hearing english. I wonder what controls this..

Computer upgrade

In April I started seriously concidering upgrading my computer. The parts that needs upgrading are the motherboard, cpu and ram. So a big and costly affair. Along with that I'll also be getting an aftermarked cooler for a quieter computer and overclocking capabilities, as I'll probably be trying that out. Aswell as a new case with more modern features, such as better cable management, left turned harddrive bays ect. Also it will probably be time for my yearly new harddrive. As I said I started thinking about it in April but soon decided to wait untill after the summer, as I won't be using it when at parents place for summer and such, and hopefully prices will fall a bit.

So this is what I'm looking at, at the moment:

• Case: Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced
• Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula
• CPU: Phenom II X4 955 or 965
• RAM: 2x2 gb Crucial BallistX
• Cooler: Zalman CNPS 9900 MAX (unreleased)

The CM 690 II case is the only one with the features and structure that I want, and also looks good, while still leaving room for case modding as I'll be trying out. Therefore the color of the parts is also playing a factor when choosing them, ofcourse as long as it doesn't comprimise quality. The motherboard is a pretty expensive one and maybe a bit overkill, but I'm choosing it because of the nice color scheme, built in X-Fi soundcard, nice auto overclocking features and it has the newest chipset and futureproofed with stuff like USB 3 and SATA 3 ect. Was looking at the Zalman CNPS 9900 NT at first because of the nice look and color fitting my color scheme, and ofcourse good reviews, then saw a new version was comming which seems to fix the few bad things mentioned about it in reviews. The 965 CPU was in April when I started looking the best AMD on the marked, and still an affordable price (later the 6 core has been released, but it's still pretty expensive). However some say the 955 is pretty much as good, especially when overclocking, so might aswell save the 200DKK. The Crucial RAM is getting good reviews and still close to the cheapest ones. Was going for 8gb at first, but a Tom's Hardware article about RAM requirements made me change my mind to 4gb. More is only really needed if using multiple big applications like photoshop at once, which is quite rare for me, and can always upgrade later ofcourse.

Still might change some ofcourse if pricing changes, but I think this is very close to what I'll be getting. Might get the case and start casemodding while at my parents place for summer so I can use my fathers tools and such. The rest will probably be in August, September or when I have the money (so 2014).

Summer todo list

These are the things that I've thought about maybe doing during the summer

• Sell my moped
• Start out with some case modding
• Work on project "NAVOK"
• Finish EOL site
• Watch FIFA World Cup
• Watch Tour De France

Hopefully I'll get around to doing all of it.

New design

Got kind of bored with the old design of the blog, so used blogger's new design tool thing to create this design. Hopefully that will encourage me to write some more ;-)

Eurovision Song Contest 2010

I think the final was maybe the best show ever ;o Apart from about a handfull of songs they were all really good in my opinion. I really liked german song aswell so I'm really happy it won. Was considering betting money on it but was already minus 200€ in my account so couldn't afford loosing anything :/ There were so many good songs so I voted four times in the final, on Germany, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia.

I was kinda of afraid it would be a bad final with some really bad song going to final like the isreali, russian, greece and belgium songs, and a couple of good ones not going to final like the swedish, finnish and latvian. However still a lot of good ones in final as I said.

The waiting-for-votes show was really nice this year aswell, for once it was actually not totally boring to watch. The voting was exciting aswell, not the first place, but the fight for second place, especially with Denmark in the fight. As for the danish song I really like it except the chorus which is boring and totally ruins it, too bad caus I really like the other parts of the song.

So all in all a fucking amazing show :)~

Random though on abort

The ethical question on abort can be compared to a heads up Texas Hold 'Em poker game. When you are small blind, or big blind and the other player has raised, you are considering wether you should call or fold. The flop about to come that could make your hand good or bad, can be thought of as both existing and non existing. It doesn't really exist because no one has seen it and the cards are random, so the potential hand you could get doesn't exist before the flop is shown, therefore you do not lose that potential hand if you fold, as it doesn't exist yet.

The same way when a baby is growing inside a belly it is only a potential person. It is only a certain set of genes and a biological animal, there is yet no soul. In my head what makes a person into the person he or she is, is the things that happen around and to him or her, and not the genes which merely is how a person is biologically build. So in that way a baby inside a belly does not exist before it is born.

So in the same way as the poker hand before the flop, one does not lose anything by giving it up.

Samsung B6050 LED TV

For a long time I've been tired of the noobness of my old TV, a Prosonic LCD HDTV 32''. Pixelerror, losing connection from PC, some extreme flickering when watching from antenna ect. So after reading many a reviews, forum entries ect. I was down to choosing between two TVs. The LG L8000 and the Samsung B6050. Both 37''. I visited pretty much all electronic stores in the city to try and find them so I could seem them in real life, found the Samsung a few places but the LG was no where to be found. However some time later when I had a few minutes wait for the bus I went into one of the stores I'd been in before to see if they should have gotten the LG in the meantime and to my luck they had.

After that I decided to go with the Samsung based on it's better design and the fact that the picture quality seemed pretty equal, which is also what different reviews have said, the Samsung bit better at some things and the LG a bit better at other things.

Still didn't buy it right away as I was waiting for a nice offer somewhere. Just before the olympics I discovered I have DR HD, which sent a lot of olympics, but I needed the new TV with digital tuner which my old was lacking to see it, so I decided to buy the new one few days into the olympics.
