On my point of near-desperation…

I will tell you something decisive about my laptop later.

Nevertheless, indeed, I am at a point where … everything looks hopeless. Lets say its about something that happens in SMU very often and start with ‘P’.

Yes I am stressed and my source of entertainment is anything that is popped up when I type ‘funny commercials’ or ‘funny clip’ in youtube’s search box.

My personal favorite for today:

• iRack
• The greatest story ever told
  

Enjoy and please try to manage your time by reading less blog.

In any case, the application for becoming one of my editorial monkeys hordes is still welcome. Quick apply now!!!

Giveawayoftheday.com

I just stumble into this rather interesting site. Let me type it again for the benefit of many clueless reader of my blog.

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com

The site is powered by Wordpress by the way.

I was digressing. Anyway, I have no idea what the site is trying to do but to give away free licensed software on daily basis. Different software for each 24 hours period. I just download this thing called FlashSPring Pro 2.0 which is overpriced at $199 for free.

Since I am grateful, I will display their banner in this post. Please note that the banner is updated every minute.

Earthquake and Many other Stuff

Yesterday, I was experiencing, maybe the first, earthquake that can be field in this tiny little sheltered island. It made me a bit queasy. Especially when I was at level five of SIS building that time with no prospect of leaving the building anytime sooner than seven minutes.

Let me remember … red moon,  earthquakes, plane crashes…

Is it the end of the world? Spooky
Surprisingly it is normal for people of all ages to think that the end of the world will happen during their lifetime. Many predictions have been made which either dead wrong or inconclusively.
Read  http://www.religioustolerance.org/end_wrl1.htm for more interesting reading.

Or http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/9941/index.html for an even more interesting reading.

Duh… I wrote too many stuff in Java already. I feel my entry become more and more less interesting. :p

Monkey Business

I never realize that my blog is actually being read by someone out there. Indeed there are many people who are interested in a string of gibberish words uttered by grammatically impaired individual who could only write without checking his work for error.

I am honored and yet at the same time I feel bad for letting people like Vidia gets disappointed whenever he or she coming to my blog just to find out that nothing has been changed. It is quite obvious that my blog has not been updated quite regularly – unlike some people who are miraculously able to churn out blog post(s) on daily basis, change the template of his or her blog on the hourly basis and write something on other people’s tagboards at the rate comparable to the increase of entropy of the universe. I am amazed … or rather: jealous.

Then… a great idea is somehow dawned upon me.

Call it Blog Postings Outsourcing (BPO) where one cunning blogger decided to outsource most of the blog entries to other people who could at least punch a key or two in any typical keyboard.

To drive the cost down and avoid garnering any protest from any CNGO (Claimed-tobe-Non Government Organization) human right organizations and their derivatives for doing unfair trading practice, setting up blog sweatshop, employing the underage, corrupting moral of the society, inciting blasphemous/rebellious ideas, denying holocaust, promoting public indecency, polluting environment, poisoning panda and many more (believe me – those people are the expert of conjuring something out of thin air), I decided to employ only monkeys or any humanlike creatures that are able to make typewriters churn out some characters.

I have heard somewhere that given enough time and bananas and tranquilizer, an infinite number of monkeys with a matched number of very durable typewriters can produce at least an essay equivalent to Shakespeare’s work. I a not sure about this but if this can be done, I believe my problem of lack of posting can be solved.

I do not need blog entry with Shakespearean poetic quality or Hawking ingenious vision. Hence, I could drive the cost further by reducing the number of monkeys needed. Assuming a standard SMU report of ten pages could be done by five monkeys in one month, I think I need less than 20 monkeys for my purpose.

I will work on the cost benefit analysis as well as feasibility projection soon. Before you realize it, you might have read an entry completely written by monkeys. Watch out!
