Going to be working the heck out of MapleStorm.com this summer. Just need a few weeks to get some new material up. Should be ready by the end of this month.
Also going to be modding again this summer while working out, to check progress visit WhiteRyu.com

Guess I should really update my personal blog.
This is why I don’t have a Twitter account: I don’t ever have much to say.

I’ve been so busy with dsm-addiction.com that I nearly forgot to update my other site (whiteryu.com). Not to mention I need to add so much new content to this site. Hopefully I will have some free time over the next few weeks (or rather the summer) to do so. Until then, hang tight everyone.

It’s not really possible. On AIM 7 you would have to open up the encrypted files (previously mentioned) and edit on the of the theme pictures (which are jpg) to something like a light shade of blue (set opacity to 60% and save as png).
It looks more like a possibility on AIM 6.9. Although right now I haven’t really gotten around to it due to a new website: www.dsm-addiction.com
Might work on it later on in the month.

UPDATE:  Yeah. I give up on this one.  Sorry guys

If 2012 if is anything like the movie’s storyline/plot, and acting it’s going to suck. Seriously people, just save yourself the money of having to go see this movie and just see The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008 version). It has the same storyline (a known ending of the world, must save some of the precious things on earth like Noah’s Ark did, and have at least one main character die) and acting (Will Smith’s kid and John Cusack). Oh and let’s not have any of the main characters die until towards the end of the movie. What else…. well that’s about it. I think 2012 the movie has to be one of the worst movies of the year let alone the decade.

I probably won’t be writing any entries here for a bit. Give me until about December 7th. I have to study for finals.

Okay usually I don’t talk about health, but I am a person who tries to make sure he wakes up every morning to at least a 4 pack (6 packs are hard to keep up with, but not unattainable).

Anyways here’s what’s wrong with America. We tend to go to the grocery store and buy foods based on our needs and wants. You’ll be going shopping and all of a sudden “Oh my… I haven’t had these in years!” This is fine if you’re an athlete or have a very high metabolism. You’ve probably seen the guy who has eaten a Big Mac a day since he was a little kid. Then some kid says “Yaay! I can do that too!” Next thing you know you see the headline “14 year old kid weighs 350+ lbs.” on Maury. Now sometimes this isn’t the case, I mean some people are born fat.

Now I’m getting off subject… gr…well back to the main subject. If you go into just about any store (hardware, grocery, craft…) right at the checkout lanes they have a display of gum and candy just to tease the average American. Most of the time you’ll grab one of the candy bars. Just read the back for one second. You’ll notice at the bottom it says “Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.” With that said head over to Health Status and determine your calories burnt per day (don’t cheat). A majority of you out there will notice that your burnt calories are actually under 2,000 (unless you’re like me and workout everyday while taking supplements that speed up my metabolism).

With this said just look at the calories, let alone the percent of fat. If you grabbed anything besides gum or mints, then you’re going to gain weight. You can say to yourself “Oh I will just go to the gym” or “I will just jog it off” When in reality you will never get around to doing so that same day. In fact by the time you finally do workout you would have eaten up to 3+ more.

All I’m trying to say is watch what you eat and be aware of your body. Also, you don’t want high fat foods for a workout, you want high carbohydrate food. Also just fyi, I do have a 6 minute ab routine to do 3 times a week. Nobody ever gets through all 6 minutes the first time around. This will help get you a defined stomach, but at the same time is recommended for those who are mildly fit. Meaning: can you see your toes?

Okay for those wondering about my progress on some of the projects mentioned on this blog head over to WhiteRyu.com .

It’s a new site and one that I build with Joomla.

law abiding citizen was a bad ass movie.

If you haven’t already, go over to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1449475/aim-7-uses-aba-file-need-to-extract-it
this guy has figured out that it uses gz compression in the files “en-us.aba” and “content.aba” (which are basically ZIP files that are hard to open). I have executed his code and gotten some good results.
I’ve upgraded my version of AIM to the latest one (which sucks because bl.dtd file is gone, it’s now in en-us.aba) to make sure my results will help others in my same scenario.
All I’m going to be doing in the next few weeks is taking this guy’s code and converting it to C++ (easier to execute on a computer), then edit both of the .aba files, and finally compile the .aba files… I’m expecting failure seeing as I’m against AOL here… the people who created ads.

Okay everyone is waiting for AIM AdHack to come out with a new version to get rid of the latest AIM ads. In the mean time let’s just do a classic. Shall we?
1) Go to the directory in which you installed AIM (for me it’s: C:\Program Files (x86)\AIM)
2) Open the following folders: services>>imApp>>(VERSION OF AIM; I have ver7_0_11_2)>>resources>>en-US
3) Open the file: strings.xml (with Notepad or if you have something better go ahead)
4) Do a Find (ctrl + F) for “bl.adHeight” (without the quotes)
5) Change the value to 0 as well as the following lines with “ad” in its name

So it should look like the following:

<string name=”bl.adHeight”>0</string>
<string name=”bl.adWidth”>0</string>
<string name=”bl.adUrlFormat”>0</string>
<string name=”bl.adRotationMax”>0</string>

And that’s all you have to do. Just save the file and start AIM (or restart AIM if you’re still running it).
Final result is:

Sure there’s still the space where the ad should go… but it’s not there. I’m still in the midst of getting it so there is no space there.  But every time I start AIM there’s an image that appears for a brief second that resizes the bottom.

ALSO! Please feel free to edit more of strings.xml file. You can make AIM say “Ryu’s AIM” in your toolbar and just much more. Just be sure to create a backup of the xml file so you don’t screw things up.
