dancedroop

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I got tipped that rumors are spreading that I know who Mary Jane (the person behind the dancedroop Multiply account) is. Wow. I am flattered. People think that we, Pat and I, traced the real person behind all the scandalous blog entries.

Unfortunately, I am not like the computer hackers that you would see in the movies. During weekdays [and nights], I am nothing but a corporate slave where I am forced to randomly type gibberish on the keyboard.

Weekends are also spent in front of the computer but chatting with friends that I met on the Internet and waiting for content to be cached by Google. I have no real social life and no girlfriend.

I do not crack into servers during my free time. I can’t. I can’t because I do not know how. I am not even close to becoming a script kiddie. What more with tracing the person behind the content cached by Google?

I can’t see the world where Japanese characters stream down like Neo does in The Matrix but if the lights in your room start flickering while you read this, I may have found a way how to do it.

Who the hell are you? I want to meet you in person! I’m your newest fan!!

You resisted the brainwashing waves of the La Sallian force by writing these interesting blog entries. You are not another moist robot produced by the La Sallian enterprise! You stand out among the crowd. Bold. Very bold.

I used to write my frustrations with DLS-C on this blog, too. Sir Joel gave me wise advise to avoid these kind of things. It’s a lot of trouble and there are ways to resolve the conflicts that you have. Well, sort of. If you can’t, just let it slide dahil ang pikon ay talo.

I love the fact that DLS-C students Canlubangers are very proficient in Filipino.

“The Internet never forgets”, as Sir Joel always said. I’m mirroring your obra maestra. Many thanks to Pat for the lead.

Pidgin: Invisible Buddies + Some Thinking

Pidgin: Invisible Buddies

This is me amused with little things.

On a side-note, I think it’s about time to get a new laptop. It’s not that my current laptop needs more juice. It works just fine for my needs and brought me great fortune in the past 4 years from college requirements to enterprise software.

Fedora 7 just reached its end of life and I get this OCD that I have outdated software. With the urge to upgrade but no place to backup my files (strange, all of my drives are full), I think a new laptop is the answer.

An extra hard disk would be a lot cheaper but I’m weighing the extra convenience that I’ll get with a more modern laptop. For instance, if I had a newer wireless card with 802.11g (yes, my laptop is 802.11b!), I’ll be using drivers with WPA support and higher transfer rates. With a DVD combo drive (vs a CD-ROM drive), better RAM, graphics card, and processor, makes me convinced that it’s, err, about time.

I’ll be getting an HP/Compaq because all of our laptops at home that carry the same brand are still alive. Also, it won’t be anything fancy. Just a boring normal laptop and it won’t be a tablet like I wished before. The TX2000 and TX2500 are available locally though.

There will be one busy weekend soon.
