Looks like Google is finally getting it’s act together. The % problem
with blog this has been fixed. New Email This Post feature is cool! I’ve
added that to my template. And Edit post on the fly when I’m logged into
blogger seems to be working, too!

I gotta stop giving Netflix Gift Certificate as gift. Received an email from them today asking me to remind the recepient to redeem the certificate. Problem is, I don’t remember who I gave the certificate to. I know it was for a girl, don’t remember who. Out of 5 certificates I’ve given out since 08/27/01, looks like only one (according to Netflix Account History) was redeemed. It was done by the girl I really really liked. Obviously I had good reason to like her. :D Good thing I can use the recently expired gift certificates to my own account.

What are the chances of 2 of my female friends contacting me on the same day within 5hr time frame? Very little, but it happened today. One called, left message, I called back. Other one text messaged, I replied back.

Movies I’ll be seeing for my Intro to Film Studies Class…

1) Washington Square (1997)
2) The Heiress (1949)
3) A Clockwork Orange (1971) This one should be good. :)
4) A Little Vicious (1991)
5) Citizen Kane (1941) Outside Class View
6) Little Big Man (1970)
7) Nothing But a Man (1964)
8) Umberto D (1952) or The Bicycle Thief (194 8)
9) After Life (199 8)
10 Smoke (1995)

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. - Emiliano Zapata

Looks like I’ve been pre-ordering a lot lately. Pre ordered Seinfeld
Gift set DVD, Half-Life 2: Collector’s Edition PC Game and today
Spider-Man 2 gift set DVD.

I’ve just placed order for the Spider-Man 2 gift set from Amazon! It was
$4.97 after FREE shipping and $30.00 gift certificate from Amazon for
buying Norelco CoolSkin shaver. :D


I wasn’t planning on getting the gift set for Spider-Man 2 but after seeing this photo, I will.

You know you’re from Silicon Valley when…

You have at least three computers at home.

You own at least one domain on the Internet, probably several.

You think it’s normal to see chip-design software or relational databases advertised on freeway billboards.

You know that California isn’t just one big beach.

You know that not everyone in California surfs.

You know there’s lots of skiing in California.

You know your rotating outage block number at home and at work, and listen for them whenever there are rolling blackouts.

You’re appalled that you can’t get (fill in the blank: ADSL, cable modem, etc) at your place. After all, we’re supposed to have everything for techies in Silicon Valley, right?

You can’t answer the question about any good tourist spots in Silicon Valley, because you haven’t been to any of them.

You tell the immigrants from other states that you remember when [fill in any landmark] was a farm or orchard.

If someone refers to "SunnytogaDeAnzavale Road", you laugh and know what they’re talking about.

You take your out-of-town friends to see the techie gadgets at Fry’s. But you don’t let them buy anything.

You know how to recognize re-sealed returned electronics at Fry’s.

You don’t ask the staff any questions at Fry’s. You know they hire idiots and pass the savings on to you.

You watch dot-com boomers go back to the states they came from, and the traffic gets better by the month. But you are home so you’re not moving.

You own a Sport Utility Vehicle and have never taken it off-road. You wouldn’t know what to do if you tried. Same with all your friends.

For that matter, you’re a road hazard any time you get on the road.

You think the horn and middle finger are essential driving tools.

You think bicycles don’t belong on the road.

You think any car ahead of you doesn’t belong on the road.

Your out-of-state friends are impressed at how much money you make… until you tell them how much you pay for housing.

You know that a "fixer-upper" home could cost a half-million dollars.

You do a "California stop" at stop signs. And you think it’s only Californians who call them that.

You aren’t bothered much by earthquakes because you’re ready for them. But the thought of tornadoes and hurricanes terrifies you.

You correct anyone from the East Coast when they mention what will happen when the "Big One" hits.  Actually everything east of California will fall in the Atlantic.

You clearly remember where you were when the Loma Prieta quake hit.

You know several funny stories about swimming pools in the quake.

You can’t recognize a thunderstorm without seeing lightning first.

You cringe when a Southern Californian refers to highways like "the 101". It’s just "101". No "the".

You call low clouds "fog" even if they’re hundreds of feet off the ground.

At least once you have gone to San Francisco for the day wearing shorts and a t-shirt because it was a warm clear day in San Jose. And you froze your little *@#!% off in the fog, drizzle and wind.

And the Number One reason you know you’re from Silicon Valley is when…

You say you’re from Silicon Valley because no one knows where San Jose is.

My Career Report:

Aries

As a dynamic and assertive Aries, you do well in professions that require willpower and self-confidence. Due to the Aries’ extra boost of energy, physically demanding jobs are right for you. As the most competitive of all signs, you should always choose a profession, where you can measure yourself against others.

Ideal occupations would be mechanical engineering, careers in the military or police force, or professions that have to do with sports or the outdoors. Since you can find Arians wherever the action is, it is very common that they become firefighters, ambulance workers, or surgeons.

If you are an Aries woman, you are more drawn to male dominated professions. Since you are a very independent individual, it appeals to you to create your own business, or at least be the one who is in charge. You may not do well in professions that require patience, and attention to detail. Also, routine is a killer for you!

As an Aries man, you like action and you need to be challenged. A job that doesn’t bear a certain amount of risk and adventure, doesn’t interest you. Therefore, you would be perfect as a bodyguard, a marine, or a police inspector. You may have a problem with purely intellectual professions, or care professions.

Coworkers see you as cheerful and enthusiastic, and they admire your forcefulness when you put your mind to something. However, if you feel that someone tries to outsmart you, your competitiveness kicks in, and then they will learn how egocentric and stubborn you can be.

You are a wonderful and easygoing boss! You like to lead and care for you team. Your enthusiasm is contagious and this is motivation enough for your employees to respect and follow you.

The secret of your success is that you have goals, and no matter what it takes, you fight like a warrior to achieve it. You are determined and sure of yourself, and giving up is just not an option for you!

I’m starting to get disappointed with Google. Since they started to think about going public their service is getting worse. They’ve added the new toolbar which I think is screwing up “Blog This” button on their toolbar and the Firefox extension. I get extra % sign in URL and spaces. Getting annoying! Once you go public things are never same. General public who own your stock puts pressure on you. Problem is they are just normal panicy dumb ass public. They have no idea what it takes to run a company!

I’ve just upgraded my Netgear router’s firmware. Internet connection was getting sluggish. Released and renewed IP, too. Looks good so far.

Since I’ve been working for more than 4 months @ a new job now, I thought sharing the email I sent to few select friends when I quit my last job would be nice. The following email have been censored to protect the innocent. It was send on Friday, September 26, 2003 12:47am.

************************************
Subject: By the time…

…you read this email (around 12:00pm EST) tomorrow, I should be dead (assuming everything works out OK). I’ve finally found the better way to die. It is…

OOPS I did it again! Wrong email!

There comes a time for every man when he must make a decision (besides choosing porn or chicken or doing it doggie style or missionary style ;)).
Most of you have heard me talk about this lot for awhile. Well, now I’ve done it. I have pulled a “******”! No deal, No job, Just Balls! It is my pleasure to announce that I will be outta *******, INC. any day now. Little nanobots are eating their way to clear my path as I write this email. No final date yet, could be as soon as tomorrow. When you don’t see me for more than 2 days, expect the worst (best in my case). I will email again once I leave the premises (this applies to current employees only). Technically, I will be dead to the company and join the deadhead ex-employees. We will wait patiently outside 4 U. :D

Yes, it is crazy to quit without another job but you already knew I’m a little crazy. When you wake up and dread coming to work, even though there’s nice colleagues like you, something must be wrong. When your day starts and ends with “what the f**k”, something ain’t right here. When going thru every work days and sometimes weekends becomes a struggle, it’s time to move on.
And when ****** calls you 6-7am on Sat, I don’t even wanna go there! I hope someone will kick his ass someday.

What will I do after this? I’m definitely not going to Disneyland 4 sure!
First I will catch up on my sleep. Then watch all the Buffy DVDs I bought, play all the video games waiting 2 B played. I will enjoy the Winter.
Watch Lord of the Rings 3 & Matrix 3 with peace of mind. Check my site later for more. And of course there’s school.

No, there won’t be any party, toga party, binge drinking, orgy or anything like that to celebrate my departure. That is why I’m sending this email.
I don’t think I’m emotionally strong enough to handle a face to face goodbye with everyone. This place has been a like a second home to me. I used to say if only they had cable and bed, I’d move in. Those were the good old days. I miss those days. I know many old schoolers do, too. I miss the hockey machine. I miss the fun wild and crazy days when there was less *****, ****** and ******* in our lives. I will sneak out the back door without making any scene.

I want to thank you all for the great experience, tolerating dirrty emails and all the wacky ass stuff I did for all those years. You’ve been awesome, ultra cool, kick ass buncha people I’ve ever worked in my whole damn life. I doubt I’ll ever meet such superior human beings who truly care. I hope you all make outta here alive and well before losing your cool.

I will keep sending dirrty jokes to your work or whatever email address I have. Try not to send any dirrty stuff to my “ex-work” address like ***** ******* did. :)

Given below are my contact info. If I can be of any assistance, please don’t hesitate.

Email (in order of importance):

1) *******@hotmail.com
2) *******@nyc.rr.com
3) *******@siddman.net
4) *******@siddman.org

Cell: 917-***-****

Thanks again. You’ve been great! :)

BTW, copy any favorite mp3s from my secret stash to your local machine.
I don’t what the next guy will do. Yes, you can ask me for illegal stuff even if I’m not there. ;)

So I preordered Half-Life 2: Collector’s Edition video game from
Wal-Mart today. It should come loaded with goodies!

My Horoscope Today:

Today is an extremely significant day, astrologically speaking. For you, dear Aries, it may be an affirmation of your pioneering spirit. Be the champion of the new and bizarre. There is a window of opportunity opening in which a golden chance might be at hand. Forces that may seem to be in conflict may actually work well together. Remember the balance of old traditions combined with new information and knowledge. The integration of these two principles is key.

I’ve placed order for a Kingston 512MB USB2 Flash drive about an hour
ago. It will be $55.80 after $15.00 rebate and had FREE 2nd say
shipping. My current 128MB drive wasn’t doing it 4 me. Just have to make
sure I send the rebate ASAP! Didn’t meet deadline for few. :(

As I walk around the city, I look at people and wonder if this is the horrible bigot that wrote that disturbingly violent post, or that is the woman with all the diseases who’s still sleeping with everyone, or that is the guy who literally hates everyone and is rotting inside with judgmental misery.

It’s so depressing. I’ve got to get off here.

Few signatures I saw on some messageboard…

The nicest thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression

Look, nobody ever got to the end of their life and said: "I wish I’d had less sex . . . "

Only geniuses control chaos….

Life’s too short to give a rat’s ass about someone who doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you.

"Erections lasting over 4 hours - although rare - require immediate medical help."

A dirty mind is a joy forever!

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

Sex should never be a luxury.

I’ve seen these people. SADLY I have been a patron at this theatre where
this kid met his untimely demise. People like this kids parents have
RUINED movies for me and my husband. They come in like packs of monkeys
hooting and yowling at the screen with 5 kids in toe at R rated movies
that are obviously not meant for anyone under the age of 17!!! They let
them run around and scream through the duration of the movie. Ruining
the experience for everyone else because, they were too selfish to get a
fucking sitter for their asshole kids which only have the opportunity to
grow up and become members of the local prison. BECAUSE THEY ARE BORN TO
IDIOTS LIKE THIS! WTF!!! Were these idiot morons doing while their kid
was dying!!! Oh probably screwing each other and adding another “jem of
a human being” into their cesspoool of an existance.

AND NOW YOUR KID IS DEAD!! Way to go brainiacs!! I do say that is worth
a Darwin!!

How Do You Know If You Might Have A Drinking Problem ?

**********************************************

There are two ways to go. You’re either a social drinker

or a solitary drinker. Social is more common, so let’s

do that one first.

You drink every day, but usually in socially-acceptable situations,

such as lunch, after work, dinner, parties, etc. But in any case,

you do drink every day.

You feel the need to have a drink to “loosen up” a bit before

going out, even though there’s going to be plenty of booze at

the party (bar, dinner, etc.)

You think about drinking and look forward to it. You think about

that beer or cocktail you’re going to have later, and/or can’t wait

until the time comes when you can have a drink…such as lunch and/or

after work.

All you friends drink and drinking is part of all your socializing.

You would not date a woman (man) who didn’t drink because you would

find them to be “boring” and “no fun”.

At social events, you always seem to be the one drinking

the most; and if the party slows down too much, you’ll leave

and find someplace where you can drink.

At work you show up every Monday morning with a hangover

and need a little “Hair of the Dog” to ride it out.

OR…

You become what is known as a “functional alcoholic”.

You know…the guy or gal who seem to go to the bathroom

all the time and smells like mouthwash. Friendly, but seems

somewhat stiff, reserved and removed. Gets their work done

and leaves. Never socializes with co-workers or joins in

the fun.

Then things start to happen which get your attention:

You begin to have blackouts. People tell you things

you did last night of which you have no recollection.

You start to prefer alcohol to food and always make

sure you have enough money to drink. You begin to pass

on paying the Con Ed or phone bill and use the money to

buy alcohol.

Your drinking starts to concern you, so you begin to make

deals with yourself, i.e.: “I’ll only have ONE cocktail at lunch”

or “I’ll only drink on the weekends”.

You think you can “stop anytime”, so you do stop…for about

2 weeks after which time you say to yourself, “There, see. I

don’t have a problem after all”. And then you go right back to it.

After a while your friends begin to suggest that you slow down

on your drinking and you react by getting annoyed with them and

thinking that they’re no fun anymore. Eventually those friends

drift away and you find new drinking buddies.

Your job begins to suffer as you now need a drink to “get started”

in the morning, and then a little spike in the coffee, and something

to “help you get through” that boring meeting.

There’s more…but you can figure it out.

The solitary drinker is worse but less complicated

because he/she just sits alone at the end of the bar

with their drink, talking to nobody (you’ve seen those people).

At work you always go out for lunch by yourself because you

“certainly don’t want to spend your lunch hour with a bunch

of losers” or you’re pissed off at your boss and co-workers

because of the way they “treat you”.

On evenings and weekends you just stay home and drink.

You don’t answer the phone, don’t go out…nothing.

The television, the internet, maybe some porn, some take-out,

and the booze. Except along with this scenario comes the

anger, resentments, self-pity, hatred, etc.

Does this look familiar? Does it make you very uncomfortable

to read it ? Are you really, really pissed off right now and

ready to reply with a “Fuck You Asshole” ?

Well…take a breath. Then read it again and ask yourself

this question: “Do I REALLY LIKE LIVING THIS WAY ??”

If your answer is “no” then you can stop it right now.

If you feel trapped and think that there’s no way out…

remember, THAT IS NOT TRUE ! YOU CAN REACH OUT FOR HELP

AND BEGIN YOUR NEW LIFE RIGHT AT THIS VERY MOMMENT!!

The first step is up to you.

BILL GATES’ SPEECH TO MT. WHITNEY HIGH SCHOOL in Visalia, CA.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

If young people are too poor to afford condoms, do you suggest they just use an old doritos bag?
