Diamonds Are Forever

I’m back and just finished moving the blog to the virtual server that I acquired not-so-recently. I decided to try out Slicehost.

In a series of experiments one late night, I wanted to try the Flash demos for the Facebook platform. But I thought to myself that non-production things shouldn’t be hosted on our server.

Electricity, Internet and phone services now totals to a significant slice in my monthly expenses pie chart too. Take note that the decision was made at 5AM on a Saturday! At that point in time, I was rushing to wrap things up. There’s this idea that I’m waiting for where the Slice pays for itself. Let’s hope that that time arrives soon.

P.S. Do check out our Facebook App. That’s what keeping me, err, “busy” lately.

    I really loved this post. You explain this topic very well. Natural gemstones are found in nature. Laboratory-created stones, as the name implies, are made in a laboratory. These stones, which also are referred to as laboratory-grown, manufacturer-created, or synthetic, have essentially the same chemical, physical, optical, and visual properties as natural gemstones. By contrast, imitation stones look like natural stones in appearance only, and may be a manmade or natural stones. The basic unit for weighing gemstones is the carat, which is equal to one-fifth (1/5th) of a gram. Carats are divided into 100 units, called points. For example, a half-carat gemstone would weigh .50 carats or 50 points. Gemstone treatments or enhancements refer to the way some gems are treated to improve their appearance or resilience, or even change their color. Many gemstones are treated in some way. The effects of some treatments may lessen or change over time and some treated stones may require special care. Treatments and/or enhancements should always be disclosed by the seller.
