Ok moved. Lost a post along the way. Oh well.
Still around to see Olympics 2008. Surreal.

I’m a sugababy – love the song “Mended by You“. How teenybopper!
You came up I swear that it was just like something from a movie scene
when we met, we connected
I never expected you’d be everything to me
This is almost funny. I know it is not to the Legal department of the express company. If one can build usable furniture from packing material and set up a .com website to publicise it, I am sure he can do more with his talent.
But I don’t care what agreement the shipper & shipping company may have, if its a box that’s shipped to me, I consider it my property. Because if they do think they still own the box after the delivery has been made, they’d better get over here and pick them up or I’m sending them the bill for expenses and labor used to properly dispose of their boxes. — shotfeel / SlashdotIt made me spurt my coffee.
When Jasmin mentioned Twitter, (I will shamelessly admit that) I went “huh?” I may spend unnecessary chunks of time on the web, I really had no idea what it meant.
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
140 characters for the insatiable need to type and to view the typed. For those who are as clueless as I am, this may help.
This is not for you if you’re already avoiding Facebook because of your friends’ status updates. I, on the other hand, enjoy the updates. They make great conversation pieces when you meet up for coffee.
Incidentally, if you are using WordPress and you don’t read the dashboard news (like me), WP2.5 is out.
So, one day you feel like buying a new domain. You go tripping to Network Solutions to check for availability and yay it’s available! Knowing that your domain name is so unique (i.e. www.ohsouniqueyoucannotbeat.com), you decided to take a couple of days to check out the various hosting packages available. Just when you’ve decided on one reasonable package, you are greeted with the dreaded – www.ohsouniqueyoucannotbeat.com is no longer available. In fact it was registered the same day you were reassured by Network Solutions.
Once you whois it, you lose the right to purchase it at sub USD10. Cost of my lesson? USD34.99.
Moral of story: Do not check for availability unless you want to register it immediately. Sucks, I know. Read more here and here.
If you’ve been in the online scene long enough, you will know Noah Grey, of greymatter fame. I still remember the interface (read: geek-at-heart) and the pain of installation and customisation.
Reason why I am bringing this up – not random – for some reason, I surfed into his website. His sister had just passed away and the husband, a year ago. Even though I don’t know him personally, there is a gentle wave of sadness. Maybe it’s the age thing. As you get older, you get more sentimental.
“And still hates the word ‘blog’.”. Hear hear.
It’s amazing to feel the tug in the chest again. It’s like contorting your feet into a pair of torturous boots, just to regain the feel of your toes.
Apparently, 9 million people cannot be wrong. I am almost 100% certain that there are more than 9 million people who are not subscribed to the digital magic of the World of Warcraft.
I do have a character in the MMORPG and after moving to level 5 (of 70), I am already developing carpal tunnel syndrome. That is not helping me to be WoWed over. I must admit – the graphics is amazing. The extend of the content is mind-boggling. The coolness of the company’s job positions is enviable! Imagine, you are paid to come up with weird names for each weapon, animal and cloud. Try stringing the names into a sentence, you will know what I mean.
Having said all that, I cannot stop laughing at South Park‘s take1 on Blizzard‘s ricebowl. Crude but witty!
Are you with the online sensation, or do you have a life and not understand a single thing that you’ve just read?
This is delayed but hey, as the clich̩ goes Рthought counts!
Have a merry merry Christmas. May your mail to Santa not be lost in the pile! And if you have sent him your 2008 list of resolutions, don’t bet on it. You can take the bus/cab/car to the gym, you don’t need the sleigh!
Enjoy more of Julian Beever’s pavement art.
