Testing Flock

October 20, 2005 — Uncategorized. 3 Comments

This is interesting. Flock is a bit slow at times, but it’s nice. I’m testing out Flock’s blogging feature. Seems fine so far. It’s like BlogThis! and Press It. But it’s integrated into the browser. Quite interesting, indeed.

And just for fun, I’m gonna try dragging an image in:

Things to Remember

October 20, 2005 — Gallivanting, Notes, Personal and School. 1 Comment

I need to remember a lot of stuff everyday. Here’s a list of a few I learned today.

  • Carry keys: I got locked out of my house today since my mom had gone somewhere.
  • Never leave your bookbag’s insides exposed: Today, a friend of mine dropped a bottle of Coke and the cap broke off. Guess what happened? The Coke splattered on the floor and the cap was pointing in my direction. It wouldn’t have been that bad if I weren’t taking a test and stuff in my bookbag hadn’t gotten wet and sticky. I’m extremely lucky my tshirt was yellow.
  • Carry a cellphone: I’m lucky I got let out of my Kaplan course on time, or else, I’d be stuck in the cold for like 15 minutes. I mean, I’d be able to use my proctor Ted’s phone, but what if no one had a phone?
  • Friends rock:

    • They can help you out in times of need and when you need to look busy in order to avoid eye contact with people you’d rather not have any with.

So, those are a few things I’ve learned to remember today.

Oh, and I got invited to use Flock. It “came” with a free invite to WordPress.com and I’ve set up my own WordPress.com blog at shahid.wordpress.com The interface is pretty slick.

Weapon of Choice

My PDA, originally uploaded by cafenut.

This is my weapon of choice for NaNoWriMo. I wanted to use it last year, but was too lazy to find batteries. I hope my English teacher lets me use it if we work on our novels on computers.

Meebo is Nice

October 18, 2005 — Education, Friends, Geeky and Internet. Closed

Aaron told me about a nice site a while back. It’s called Meebo. It’s an IM client that works through most modern browsers, like Safari and Firefox, and some old ones, like Internet Explorer.

Having a lot of free time at school, I can go to the library and use the computeres there. I can IM people without having to install anything. :) The only thing is, most people I know aren’t signed on when I’m at school.

New iMacs Aren’t Worth It

October 16, 2005 — Apple and Geeky. 1 Comment

The new iMacs aren’t worth the money. They can barely hold enough stuff. Let me guess, you need to boot off the DVD to run OS X. (Notice that the slide says 160 MB and 250 MB!)
