Entries from January 2005 ↓

…spent going through my access logs and what did I find? A number of jackballs linking to my Asian pictures. Mostly on forums and message boards so I get no credit and yet they chew up my bandwidth. Nice.

I re-named the pics and briefly gave thought to uploading some nasty ‘adult’ pics of the same name as the originals but I thought better of that. I recall the same thing happening to Paul; someone linked to his Turkey pics and then called them cheesy…

I guess it should be flattering that someone thought my pics good enough to link to but there’s something about it that pisses me off. Am I going to have to tag all of them with my URL in the future? I hope not.

The day started off well enough; I met up with Neil, Dan and Brian for lunch in Yaletown. It was a belated birthday brunch for Brian and we laughed that the year is off to a good start as it’s only two days past his birthday. Normally, we get together in July and just call it good for the four of us.

Despite the rain, I wandered around snapping some pics (which will probably be stolen soon…). I grabbed a 512MB SD card for my camera on Friday so I wanted to put it to use. Now I won’t have any storage concerns when I’m in Korea this April. MiHwa won’t have as much time off this time, so it’ll be me on the subway checking out Seoul on my own. Dumb ass white guy in foreign country + lots of spare time = lots of pics!

Maybe I’ll put a few from today on Flickr if I get some motivation.

So it would seem that only Rogé and Stace will admit to clicking on the RLD from my last post. I’m pretty sure that others did too but aren’t fessing up… FYI, a Tit is a type of bird. Google Suggest is cool!

So I was on my way to school last night and there’s some clipboard chick on Robson street. My headphones are on, my class starts in ten minutes and when I spot her, I take evasive action. She makes a bee-line in my direction and asks me something. I simply reply “I’m sorry, I don’t have time…” So she screws her face into an ugly knot and tell me to go to hell (or something).

Obviously, attempting to be polite doesn’t cut it, so in the future I’ll take the time. I’ll take the time to tell her that I don’t care about her or her ’cause’ and she and the horse she rode in on can go play in traffic. I read about something similar on Urban Vancouver a few days ago. WTF? Bitchy clipboard chicks?

Lastly, I’m picking through some pictures to send up to Flickr. Only a few days left in the month, so I might as well use up my bandwidth. Should have a few more up soon. Why yes, I should be studying…

Hello, good evening and welcome.

Had a great time at Claire and Karan’s this weekend. Paul and Rachel brought the Bentley ’round and we ended up staying over.

They have a fantastic home, perched up there in West Vancouver and we calculated that it was 15 times larger than my apartment. As Biff mentioned, I did take some pics of the view. Even with the tripod, they turned out a bit grainy but I’ll put them up on Flickr when it’s up again.

In other news, Karan showed me his blog. I can verify that it does exist. Nevertheless, I maintain that we’ll see Longhorn (or Karan using Linux) before I get an email with a URL.

The big dissappointment for me was that Biff beat me at NHL 2005 after he got a goal to tie at 19:57 of the 3rd period. He then got a cheap goal to win. Really took the shine off an otherwise fine time. I will extract my revenge at a later date.

RLD how do you like me now?
