First it’s online shopping. Now it’s online games. Started with Yahoo’s scrabble (goes by some other name that I cannot recall) and then the various rooms. Now I’m thrilled by the following. How sad, I am.
One RPG that you would want to find the answer to
Soduko (crossword with a twist)
Ok so we use lots of keyboard shortcuts. Cut, Paste, Copy etc.. Do you know that a javascript can retrieve the test that you’ve last copied onto the clipboard? Try it.
1. Copy any text on this screen.

I’m officially (and very seriously) addicted to internet shopping. It’s almost like my tv-watching habit is not making me anti-social enough. Now I don’t even have to step out of the house to buy clothes/accessories/proactiv/etc.
And do you know you can find out if someone ‘blocked’ you on MSN? Puts the whole “Big brother is watching” thing into perspective huh? First, watch what you say on the blogs. Now, watch who you place on the blocked list.
The internet used to be such a simple place.
So I bought another digital camera in the last PC show.
It is totally an unnecessary purchase. Well, only to satisfy my own vanity, and from that standpoint, it may actually be necessary. What I did not expect is to be told, after making the payment, that the ordered&confirmed color-of-my-choice is no longer available.
The fact that I made up my mind in 1/4 of the time I would normally take to decide on any purchases above $50 hinted that I would not take it lying down.
I wonder: Do sales people find it empowering to psyche customers out of what they have already paid for?
Sony Ericsson is looking for the world’s top 100 favourite tracks. My three votes are currently at the 636th, 957th, and 1840th positions. Not very promising huh?
What are your favourites?
Phone rings – life springs into action and everyone (almost) reaches into the pocket/handbag/laptop bag/paper bag. A ringing tone brings the entire please-do-not-look-me-in-the-eye communting community together.
[Inspired by ST URBAN’s TheBagPage] I cannot believe the amount of things a woman can stuff in a clutch bag.
– Always amused myself whenever I attempt to answer 1. Not so funny when an airplane ride popped the top panel.
– 4 is a gift from colleagues who thought I really need to organize my keys.
– I have a love-hate relationship with 7 as I don’t really fancy either dry or wet eyes.
– One day I will be severly locked out if I keep forgetting to bring 10 to work.
– With an inhumane amount of pain that no one should be subjected to, 2 can be a lifesaver.
– 8 may one day prove to reduce the pain in the head
– Although I do not use 6 to write on 5, former is important for quick notes and latter tracks meetings and entertains with vexed!
– 9 and 3 are lovers. One does not leave the house without the other.
4 slender lines of bumper-to-bumper traffic, nerves uncooling within the air-conditioned boxes – sometimes it is better to be stuck in a massive jam for 20 minutes then to be zipped past the buildings in boring familiarity.
A colleague asked, “Do you blog?” I am unsure. Does she want to know if I blog like what the newspapers have portrayed? Or like what I remember it to be?
As I unpacked a time capsule (shipped from Nottingham 3 years ago), the cards and letters from people I have gotten to know through the web are really amazing. Not discounting what is going on now (given the little information I have), as a true Cancerian, I believe we had it better.
Do you remember how it used to be?
