Just when you thought that I can’t get a new toy, came all the way from Japan the brand new Scion tC! Yes ladies and gents, I have given up on my Audi and welcomed the new kid in the block. Things will be different now, becuz things just got to be different 
It’s a whole new era remember?
So you guys have any idea what bird name can I give this girl?
Here’s an interesting read that you should read.
Seattlaians are not human. They are an off-shoot of the Cuoske tribe of alien polynoids that arrived on earth for the sole purpose of propagating caffine and the coffee bean. Incidentaly since coffee wasn’t as hot as they expected initially (pun intended) they started a small software company which wrote a rather feeble program known as DOS. Despite warnings from their chimp masters in Alpha Centauri that their deviation from the original mission can only cause doom they continued to pump money and make ridiculously shoddy software. 15 years later after seeing the abomination that was Windows ME the chief of the Po-Po clan of the afore mentioned Cuoske tribe killed himself because of depression and self-loathing. His half brother, who he shared a mother with was fathered by a maniacal blood sucking maggot, was a rather pleasant man despite all his personal issues.
It turns out that his half brother was running this company in cahoots with a bald headed human he lovingly called Balmer or just Balmsy. The nature of thier relationship although officially purely platonic is still subject to much controversy. In any case after the death of the chief of Po-Po, the Cuoske slipped into the cover of darkness to found a small coffee shop on the corner of 5th and Main, and resigned to the fact that they had failed in their mission. To their surprise they found out that by selling high quality coffee in standardized retail outlets across the nation for premium prices they could get humans on coffee and, in the process, caffeine.
Today, after dominating this world and ruling the human race from the shadows they communicate and recognize each other through the use of strange phrases imbedded in popluar language.
When you wake up to stuff like this in the morning, it just might make your day.
Just talk about a blast from the past. I know that sometime last year I told you all about how it was crazy when Candice called me after 6 months. Well this story is nothing like that. I mean nothing at all like that. This one is off the hook, yo!
Back in freshmen year (which was 2000) I used to talk with this girl from Bangladesh. We used to just joke around and talk a lot about music and stuff. Actually she was the reason I got into radio. Anways, the year afterwards she got married and for busy and all so we kinda lost touch.
Today, err…. I mean, yesterday, I was cleaning my address book and I emailed a bunch of people I haven’t heard from for a while. I figured I’ll do one last check before I throw some of those addresses away. And bam. She was the one who replied. After almost 4 freaking years. Crazy right?
People say that ‘only thing constant in this world is change; it’s inevitable’. It’s so bloody true. But that does not make me less afraid of it you know. This weekend I felt like I just left college. When I graduated, I didn’t feel this way. But this time I did. A bunch of my good friends graduated and most got jobs. Two of them is moving to Wachington DC. Granted it would be great when I go thru DC, but it still sux that they won’t be 20 minutes away. Another just went to Seatle for an internship, and one went home for the summer. Not to mention that another is going to San Diago soon from the looks of it. The four of us who are still here thru summer might not be here thru fall. One goes to work with Google in August. And the other one is looking for jobs in the Bay Area also.
It’s kinda crazy you know. Having all your friends spread out like this. Granted that there is still one of my friends who is going to be in Atlanta next year. But he has a girl-friend, so you know, I can’t always spend time with him. Life’s changing. I’d need something else to take my time. I’d need someone else to keep me busy. I’ll need someone else to go clubbing with. I’ll need some company.
My life is turning a bit uncertain as it moves on. I’m going home this August and I’m desparately hoping that I come back and things just won’t go crazy. I know that I would be depressed for a good long time. I’m going home after four years. Even that is a scary thing you know. Things changed in four years and I won’t even have time to let it sink in completely. I’m going only for 2 weeks. I’m going all the way across the world for two freaking weeks. of which 4 days would be just travel time.
May be I just need a girl friend. It’s just that I can’t really find one, well, not that I am looking. Anyway, I think I’ve bitched and moaned enough. I wasn’t planning on posts like this in the new chapter of Bid Chronicles, but this just had to be done. Take care everyone and live happy.
Looks like when it rains, it pours. As if the last two posts about widgets and launchers were not enough. Last week while cruising thru the net at low altitudes I bumped into k23 Productions. Though I have to say that most of their products are out of developement but they still have some neat stuff.
Firstly, there is Bar None. Like every other launcher, it lets you choose what you want on it of course, but unlike others the bar completely shrinks down to this one rectangle that’s always visible. I’m actually using it at work. Though I always feel like there is a bunch more settings that I would love to add to it. Fortunately, it’s under GPL, unfortunately I don’t really have much time in my hand. According to k23 Bar None has been superseded by Dock Bar. Though Dock Bar really just looked like it’s going to be something like RK Launcher.
Next, they have dotWidget. dotWidget is obviously something like Konfabulator (which by the way is going to hit version 2.0 in 9 days). I just tried it out briefly, so I can’t really conpare between the two in terms of usability of creating new widgets, but they both look very similar. The downfall of dotWidget however is the aviability of pre-made widgets. Since the program is only in verion 0.6, its widget collection is actually quite small. But still, some people just like to be different you know.
I promise no more widgets and launchers until Konfabulator 2.0.
