Friends VS HIMYM

Joey Tribbiani vs. Barney Stinson

Ross Geller vs. Ted Mosby

Chandler Bing vs. Marshall Eriksen

The Motorola XOOM is here!

The ever so anticipated Motorola XOOM has finally been released in the States.

However, the cost is simply disappointing, I have no idea how the tablet will ever compete with the new iPad 2 at the cost of $599(2 year contract)/$799 a pop.

Simplefolio and WordPress 3.1 (3.2.1) fix

So recently I upgraded my WordPress installation to WP3.1, however, that broke the slider on my Simplefolio template.

Update July 29, 2011:
I recently upgraded to WordPress 3.2.1, and everything seems to be working properly as expected. Will update if anything breaks.
End of Update

I tried everything from upgrading to the latest bleeding edge, to 3.2 beta, nothing worked, I didn’t want to downgrade to 3.0 simply because I didn’t want the hussle if anything bad were to happen.

Stupid spam is stupid

I hate spam, I’m sure everyone does, but I hate it when idiots spams my blog.

To combat this, I’ve added a idiotic CAPTCHA field in the comments section: “Are you ham or spam”

Well to a legitimate commenter they simply need to put in ham, given that if it is not spam. But a bot wouldn’t know any better.

Yes, give any spammer 5 minutes and they will figure out how to by pass it, but when that happens, I shall implement reCaptcha.

Stupid spam is stupid.

VDay & Food Bank

Today, my “girlfriend” is mad at me and doesn’t want to see me.

So I donated all the money that I was going to spend on her to the local food bank, at least someone won’t be going to bed with an empty stomach. :)

I hate it when you work for a job, you are given dead lines, when the dead line comes, you produce the product, YET… you still have to fill in a DAILY time sheet. Um what the f##k. I just put in 9:20 to 5:20 as “developing”. Done and done. You wasted my time for something so useless and stupid. But first employer gets the Darwin Award. Instead of filling in the time sheets, I was expected to fill time sheets down to a T.
