Month: October 2001 (Page 2 of 2)

Remember I wanted to work on the Bookmark/Link Manager thingy in
my post a couple of days ago? Heh! I ended up went working on the
Comment posting thingy instead! It wasn’t too much effort on the
coding portion for the user front end, but it’s quite a bit of a job for the
admin portion since I’m stuck on how to lay it all out on the screen.
Now, this thing is really almost taking on the form of Greymatter,
which I really didn’t intend to in the first place. Then again, all the stuff
under the hood is just different, most notably this site being database
driven. Don’t get me wrong. I used Greymatter and have in fact,
installed it on my machine. The stuff just rocks! I wish I could write
something like that. If only I have the patience for programming as I
do troubleshooting system or network related issues. Haa!

Speaking of which, I’ve been spending some time lately browsing the
web and have noticed people taking on blogging (weblogging). It’s
like an online journal thingy, similiar to this one, although I’d like to
think that mine’s more like Slashdot.
Some of them blogs out there make really interesting reading! Reminds
me of that book “Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4”
by Sue Townsend. I think if the Internet were as popular as it is today,
Sue Townsend might just make Adrian Mole write a blog instead!
Heheh!

Mondays always suck. Period. Besides Monday being my pet peeve,
another major pet peeve of mine has to be driving the streets of KL
during rush hour. @#$%! It’s a confounding experience I tell you. As
if the traffic jam is not already bad, you have to put up with some of
the most uncouth drivers on this planet. No way they’re gonna give way,
even if it’s your right of way, which in turn causes more jam in the end.
Then, there are the motorcyclists. Now we’ve all been made to learn to
be considerate of them motorcyclists and all that. Thing is, I think
the same needs to be done for them to be considerate and courteous
too. Look, you’re riding a bike that’s like about 5 to 6 feet long and
about 2 feet wide. You don’t HAVE to be riding smack in the middle
of the road in the middle lane right??! As if that’s not enough, your
weaving in and out of traffic just gets on other road users’ nerves as
well! Good grief! Driving used to be pleasurable and more so when I
was studying abroad to the point of it being therapeutic. Now it’s just
being traumatic. Worst part of it is that I have to go thru it everyday
now first thing in the morning for about 1-1.5 hours and then again
at the end of the day. Really not good for one’s mental health. Then
again, since when my mental thingy being healthy anyways? Hahaa!
