Goodbye ICQ

What started back in 1999 has now come to an end. From today I have stopped using my ICQ completely. Most of the people that I was still talking with already have be on some other network anyway. The only one I can think of who isn’t only on ICQ is my freshman year roomie who I haven’t talked with in years.

If anyone else is still only connected to me by ICQ by some random chance; sorry love, but it’s time to switch. I am still available on Google, MSN, Yahoo and AIM. I wonder which might be the next to go…

Something different

Today was a bit different for me. To start I’m testing a HDTV tuner. I don’t watch that much TV, but sometimes I want to. HDTV has weird channel numbering schemes so I haven’t found all the channels yet. But we’ll get there. I have a couple of weeks to return the thing if I don’t like it.

The other thing is that I got a Rubik’s cube. I saw this really good tutorial online and wanted to really learn it this time. I could always do one side without a problem, but I figured it was time to explore further. And after a couple of painful hours with several mishaps that made me restart. But I did it!! That’s the big news for the day. Sorry to anyone who called me during then because I really couldn’t concentrate on anything else.

On other news, Big Cat is going to get a new name since some people are revolting against it. I’m thinking Vombol Daas. What do you think? The weird thing is that sometimes I get afraid that he’ll scratch me. It is weird because if anyone met me in the last year, they know I am all scratched up. But that’s by Sylvee, and she was there with me since she was a baby. Anyway, we’ll see whatever ends up happening with Vombol.
