Well, just wanted to let everyone know that we’ve had another boy, born January 31st 2006 at 5.40 pm, weighing 3.485 kg and measuring 52 cm in length. Mother and son are in great condition.

I’ve long stood against purchasing any Macintosh machines because of their incompatibility with software developed for the Intel platform. But now they’ve come out with Intel based machines such as the Intel MacBook Pro, I might just change my mind 🙂

Now, I just need to find US$2000 to cover the cost of one of these babies…

Just came back from eating wings at Shoeless Joes with the usual crew (him and him). This is starting to be a bi-weekly thing going on 🙂

I have to recommend the wings though, they’re really good. The lattice fries also come recommended.

Google has been making so much noise within the last few years, it would hardly surprise anyone if they came out with a PC of their own, complete with their own brand of operating system. [Link]

I’m still not convinced that it could gain that much of a marketshare, considering that it’ll come out with a relatively unknown OS. Sure, Google has proven that it’s top dog in the web world, but jumping into OS and hardware doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be on top there too.

Right now, I think there’s still too much speculation on what exactly will be announced this Friday to get too excited about this.

If you either intentionally or unintentionally use your language and name your product something which translates to a well known brand, you could get sued. [Link].

I wonder if a central and global authority for copyrights should exist, having the list of copyrighted brands/trademarks for everybody in the whole world, including different translations in different languages?

I actually dreamt I was running laps around some building and then proceeded to do lots of situps. I just wish the dream could actually affect my physical body while I’m asleep; then all I’d have to do is dream the same thing over and over again for a full year 🙂

Do you ever wonder why the clerk at checkout counters in department stores ask you for your phone number / postal code? I usually just give it out freely without much thought.

Seeing this picture makes me think though (especially the first line about adding to their mailing list). Maybe next time I won’t be so generous with my answer to those questions.

I was recently trying to send a big file to a friend of mine through MSN Messenger, and found it to be really slow. So I was just thinking of putting it up on my site so he can go grab it through FTP.

But today I stumbled upon Dropsend, which allows people to send large file attachments to an email recipient through their site, as well as act as an online storage facility. The free version only allows 5 sent files a month and 250 Mb storage, but it was a perfect solution for what I needed to do.

The recipient will see a link in their email which will allow download of the file once they click on it, which is very nice since they won’t need to have their email client download the whole file when trying to view the message.

During the past boxing day, 7 people were shot in the Yonge St. area, and a teenager was killed. Apparently two groups of idiots decided started a gun battle in the middle of a very crowded area. Some of the alleged perpetrators were arrested thereafter and police are still hunting for the rest of these cowards.

Another life loss to senseless violence, and some leaders are trying to shift the blame elsewhere. I really don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the idiocy of trying to blame the US for exporting guns to Canada for all these gun violence.

Since the beginning of the year, when the shootings in Toronto began to rise dramatically compared to last year, lots of the answers that I’ve heard from our leaders seem to say: “It’s the US’ fault since they’re the ones exporting guns here”. Do they really think that people in this city and country for that matter are really that dumb? Everybody knows that it’s not the US who’s pulling gun triggers, firing bullets, building gangs, distributing drugs around the country. It’s actual people in Canada who are doing these things. If these so called leaders are trying to shift the blame from themselves, can’t they actually think of something better to say than this? Blame the education system, blame the support systems, blame divorce rates, blame parents, blame anything but blaming the US. It just sounds so ridiculous and a simplistic view of things.

I’m not a pro or anti US person, but just looking at how these politicians can’t even think straight and find a solution just drives me crazy. Please stop running around the bush blabbering nonsense; just do something already. Instead of blaming things on everybody but yourselves, shut your mouth, take it like a good leader, and do what you guys are supposed to do: find a solution, work for the good of the citizens.
