Weird Dream

December 30, 2005 — Books and Personal. 5 Comments

Last night, I had a very strange dream. I guess I had it because I’ve been reading George Orwell’s 1984.

In the dream, I remember that I was in school and all of a sudden, the school got attacked by some group. We were forced to walk through the halls and we were taken to the basement. The basement was different from my own school, but in the dream, it was the school’s basement. We walked and we were scared. My teacher tried to hold onto the hands of people in my class and suggested we do the same with others. This was so we wouldn’t be seperated. I saw a teacher of mine just sitting at a table like nothing was happening. Probably got shocked or something.

I haven’t had a weird dream in a while. Well, a weird dream like this one.

Just Uncalled For

December 30, 2005 — Blogging, Gallivanting and Photography. 5 Comments

A few days ago (the date is confusing from all the news sources I’ve heard this from), a Bengali woman was shot by a stray bullet in Briarwood. It seems the guy who shot her was partying or something with his friends and decided to shoot around like a little dummy.

Today, I went to pray the Friday prayer at the Jamaica Muslim Center. They were talking about the tragedy. After the main prayer, James Gennaro stood in the front and gave a little speech about how he was shocked by the tragedy along with many other members of the city council. The whole time, we saw flashes going off on the TV[1]. After that, we prayed for Selina Akther and her soul.

When we came out, we saw photographers and videographers trying to get through the place. I waited a bit far away since the press people were going to the back. My nephew met up with me and we were waiting for my uncle. I saw the press coming out in front of someone who was walking. When I got close, I knew that it was Mrs. Akther’s husband, Golam Maola, by the look on his face. I decided to stay close and maybe get into a photo, but it was really crowded and I wouldn’t be surprised if I weren’t in a shot. Maola quickly got into a car and drove away with some other people. The press people slowly went away.

No More Visitors?

December 30, 2005 — Blogging and Geeky. 2 Comments

I got scared yesterday. I decided to check out my visitor stats and saw that no one was visiting my blog. I got so scared, that I started visiting blogs on Blogclicker.com. It’s been a while since I’ve been there. Then, I remembered something. I had forgotten that the last time I updated K2, I didn’t put in the script which I need for the stats. It’s funny to look at my stats now. Click on the thumbnail to see a bigger version.

WordPress 2.0

December 29, 2005 — Blogging. Closed

WordPress 2.0 has been out for quite a while now. I updated as soon as I heard. Everything went very smoothly and I think I did it better than Lou. Well, there seem to be a bunch of nice features here. One of them being the Import button. I don’t need that anymore since I used the same thing a while back when I switched over from Blogger.

Never Seen A Ten Before

That seems nice. I can upload an image and drag it right in. Cool.
