Rodeo: Can you handle it?

A challenge for all of you out there… I dare you to post your marks on my comments. I will reveal my skills in due time. I now await the first challenge: who dares come?

Well, with just 2 more weeks to go I can’t help but feel VERY EXCITED!!

As I walk along the dark roads in London going back to my humble abode, I shiver in cold and frown upon the cold winds threatening to blow me off. London’s weather has no mercy on their occupants, whoever they might be. I guess even the great Reyes cannot even survive the bitterness of it, as mentioned in one of the newspapers I happen to come across the other day..

The weather? This, I repeat to myself several times. Or could it be other things in mind that would cause this coldness to increase day by day? In fact, the first snow fell on the darkest of days I have ever had. A sign maybe? I hope not…

For now, I want to learn to trust somebody. I really need to put on hope on somethings that I though could never be. Maybe I need to rethink on what I am to do. Priorities, some say. I should get one day off planning things ahead, something I have never done before. But this is all before God, and to start of with God will be my first priority.

If anyone is reading this, I would love you to pray for me. I want you to help me ask God for guidance, as well as pray that I will go to church and not be detered in any way. I am aware that I need to help myself too, so that I shall do. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

Christopher, on the 21st night of a freezing cold month of February.

I’ve noticed from my colleague’s blog that there is a hype around: the new Linspire. Well, to be honest it’s not very new, but for some reason the fact that it is FREE and it looks like WINDOWS has made it quite popular, or so it seems. All you have to do is to put in “LINDOWS” in the Coupon Code and you’ll get an entire $49.95 off… making it free!

Oh, who am I kidding… It’s the main fact that it’s just FREE with a big F R double-E

See? F – R – E – E!

For those of you who don’t know, Linspire is a stripped down version of Linux, an open-source Operating System that rivals Microsoft Windows. But because of it’s highly geeky interface, it is highly sought after by professional users and less hunted by the rest… I mean, what average guy would replace “simplicity & sweetness” with “complexity & headaches”? Just joking guys =) In any case, introducing Linspire, a hybrid between a Linux system incorporating most of Microsoft Windows’ ease of use. What more could you ask for?

Finally, I add on this little piece of information below for a certain someone who’s an avid debian user… Great, ne?

Notice that it can easily install debian-type packages

Wanna be my SuShI?

Once again, I welcome you to my humble abode. What you see here is an impressive upgrade from WordPress 1.2 to Worpress 1.5, a considerable quantum-leap improvement. It is like hiding beneath the sands of storms, and yet you can imagine a glomping lobster teethering away at the foot of your leg balls.

It is truly an unfathomable surprise. Do not be afraid of it. As there was once a SuShI that said:

“We shall rise above! Not like a sushi, because, the rice is below…” – LamE SuShI-O

Finally a belated Valentines to you and Gong Hei Fatt Choy!!

Well then, hello again people! This is just a short notice to say that Picasa 2 from Google ain’t just some random Google idea made to increase Google’s popularity (as if it wasn’t popular enough)… It is, however, by far the best picture viewer I have ever seen, and it contains every single function that I would want in a photo organizer…. What more could you ask?

Tomorrow I shall brief you to the world of Picasa, in which I shall show you just a few things that can be done by it, including increasing the picture count on this blog! That, my friends, is something you can count on. For a mere sample of what to expect, please go to www.icums.org and have a look at its Collage tool!

By the way, you can e-mail me at chris@coconite.com for fun… It’s a cool e-mail, no?
