Pretty much spent the weekend recovering from flu. Started out about 2 hours into the gang’s gaming session on Friday night with a terrible sore throat after drinking 2 Cokes at McDs. The pain only occurs when I swallow, and it was really sharp, and only on the right side. :O The night did…

you know those credit card signature slips that have the TIP and TOTAL lines blank? i always assumed that if i write in an amount, it’ll get charged. but apparently not so. logically, how will they bill me the extra when they’ve already returned my credit card? so i was with my mom at…

back at work this week. but not really. have to facilitate some discussion in UNITEN. so the real work is still pending. i’ve added photos of the bon-odori to the gallery. check them out via the corresponding bon-odori post. i know i owe you guys more photos for some of the previous posts.. might…

just got back from the KL bon-odori festival. it wasn’t quite as i expected. i was thinking more of slow walks through streets of stalls with food and games to play. then fireworks and all that. in this event, we had the food stalls. no games. next to them was a stadium field with…

i wanna go download:- FuhQuake, Quakeworld client – relive the ol’ Quaking days with this free quake client. I assume it includes the engine itself to enable a plethora of Quake mod remakes. Works on Windows XP too. 🙂 here, i was going to mention Ur-Quan Masters as well, but they’ve yet to develop…

don’t know what to rant about besides the usual work gripe. my life’s been pretty messy these days. i haven’t cleaned out the computer parts from the previous mobo switch. my desks are a mess. i’ve misplaced my 1G thumb drive. work provides no sanctuary. so many concurrent tasks that sometimes i’m at a…

picked up a 2nd hand ASUS P4P800 today. works splendidly at default speeds. no artifacts too. 🙂 so that leaves me with a working spare 9800 pro. was thinking of passing it to fish… then maybe get him to try a flash to make it a 9800 xt. it does have an rv360 core,…

sigh… stress levels peaked yesterday as the search for sydney accommodation continues. the thing is i can’t do as much at home, so much time is spent on this activity in the office. and the office is already hectic as it is, with the stupid little issues that get under your skin. and then…
