Niagara on the bike
Sunday, August 30, 2009

Summer was going to end. Fall is already coming which means school is starting soon. 3 other friends and I planned to put an end to this summer with a biking trip from downtown Toronto to Niagara Falls and back.

Sounds impossible? But we did it and we are glad that we did it! Here are the details that make this 137 km * 2 biking trip possible!

  1. The trail that we biked is the Waterfront trail.
  2. We pair ourselves up, 1 pair of bikers and 1 pair of drivers, then swap at specific locations on which we agreed.
  3. Each leg is around 28 - 32 km long, and we stopped occasionally during each leg for checking out maps and consuming drinks.
  4. The bikers need to carry 2 bottles of water/energy drink per person, snack bars, gel seats, a wrench and other tools for fixing the gears and tires .
  5. We had our luggage on the car to be carried by the drivers
  6. For the last half an hour for the bikers and drivers to meet, we turned on the walkie talkie for confirming the arrival.
  7. We also have the bike maps highlighted and binded such that they are more durable.
  8. Other things that we have also brought along are buggie cords for holding bikes at the back of car, recharger for batteries and personal necessity.
  9. We lived in Diplomat motel which is very clean, has a good price, nice staff and a convenient location.
  10. We had all you can eat breakfast at the corner of the motel for 6.99!
  11. Total cost for 4 people, 2 nights 3 days = 133(motel) + 40(drinks and snacks) + 30(gas) + 70(food) = 273

    Subclassing in Javascript
    Thursday, June 4, 2009

    Coming to coding in Javascript, I think it will be neat to have a code snippet which allows a class to extends a parent class. The attached code demonstrate the usage and requires the understanding of the fact that JavaScript is a prototyped-object oriented programming language.
