Resurrection

Sunday, April 25, 2004 | 9:23 PM | by Brian Tang

So... again, I either lost interest or completely forgot about a useful and effective tool that could one day save my life. Oh, ok perhaps Blogger and the art of blogging isn't exactly the same as a heart transplant, but still, it's good stuff and well worth 10 minutes out of my daily life.

Today was fun, the decompressing from a cram session for yesterday's C42 final exam. I did ok I think, but most likely I probably should have studied more than 4 hours for it. Eek.

Updated the site for the first time in a couple months. Just wanted to ensure that I posted most of my MP3 collection, rather than the 40-odd songs I had listed earlier. Another advantage of fixing up this computer (Athlon XP 1800+) and not having to toil in the wasteland of the other one (Pentium Celeron 366).

I think I'm addicted to a game my little brother introduced to me, Runescape. OK, maybe not addicted, but it certainly is the next game craze for me. It's just another one of those MMORPG (or is the correct acroynm MMPORPG or MOMPOPG or.. ah, forget it). I can't believe the immaturity of its players, but that's usually not a problem since I tend to just ignore them. Hah.

Looks like I'm talking to some dude...

I'm trying out another multi-IM application, Gaim. My love for Trillian has faded, and the new one is pretty decent. We'll see what happens though, since Gaim doesn't support MSN display pictures (yet)....

I HATE MY MOUSE AND KEYBOARD. Damn Logitech. My arrow keys (even the numpad in the arrowkey state) is giving me hell occasionally whenever I play Continuum, but at least I think I've figured out that it was the new printer's software (HP PSC 1210) that was conflicting with the keyboard. But my optical mouse is showing signs of age, and only after 2 years (1.2 of actual use due to the PC downtime). The "optical gitter" is so damn irritating... I will definitely need to learn more about it, or else I will be searching for that warranty card and sales invoice....

Edit [11:15 PM]:
Ok, just one more today: Mr. James Duthie, that clever and hilarious, yet professional sports broadcaster over at TSN once again struck gold with one of his columns, this one regarding insight into why Tiger Woods finds more time in the... woods than expected from this... tiger of a golfer. Damn, those were some lame puns...

Anyway....
