//* Happenings *//
Has not been posting frequently the last week. So what's been happening, you ask?
Quite a bit :
Firstly, there is Iambic's apology over registering datebk4.com and datebk5.com.
And after procrastinating for almost a whole week, I finally dragged myself to go for some jogging Friday evening. I don't think I am ever going to get rid of my "spare tyres". *sigh*
Last evening, I went into the Ubi Driving Circuit for the first time. Before my actual driving test next Thursday, I will have to drive in the circuit 2 or 3 more times. Mr Loke seems not too worried about me. So I am somewhat confident of passing. I am just afraid that I will be too nervous on the day and screw up. :p
I may be going to SLS later to buy a new harddisk. The IBM 20GB in the PC is having more and more bad sectors; I think there is almost 2MB of bad sectors in there now. :(( Considering getting an IBM 120GXP or Seagate Barracuda ATA-IV. It's shopping time!
Update: If you happened to be interested, I got the IBM 120GXP 40GB. :p

//* How To Stay Young, Happy & Healthy *//
Throw out non-essential numbers.
This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctor worry about them.
That is why you pay him/her.
Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
If you really need a grouch, there are probably a few dozen of your
relatives to do the job.
Keep learning.
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening ...whatever.
Just never let the brain idle.
Enjoy the simple things.
When the children are young...
that is all that you can afford.
When they are in college...
that is all that you can afford.
When they are grown and you are on retirement...
that is all that you can afford!
Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your distinctive
laughter.
The tears happen.
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life is ... ourselves.
Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family, pets,
keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies ... whatever.
Your home is your refuge.
Cherish your health.
If it is good ... preserve it.
If it is unstable ... improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve ... get help.
Don't take guilt trips.
Go to the mall, the next county, a foreign country... but not guilt.
Tell the people you love,
that you love them ...
at every opportunity.
Remember ...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

//* Palm news *//
Firstly, Singapore's Palm User Group (SPUG) has lost the spug.org domain name to a cybersquatter when the domain name was not promptly renewed upon expiry. :((( Tough, but fortunately, SPUG has another domain name, spug.net, at which the SPUG website nows runs on. Given that there is really nothing much that can be done to get back the spug.org domain name immediately, the SPUG community is now trying to divert traffic away from spug.org to spug.net to deny the cybersquatter any benefits he expects to derive from taking over the domain name. So remember, SPUG is now at http://www.spug.net.
Pimlico Software has released DateBk5, the new version of its very popular replacement of Palm's Datebook application, DateBk4. DateBk4 was one of the first few Palm applications I actually bought, and it is the most frequently used application on my Palm m505. You can say I can't live without this fantastic piece of software!
Last, but not least, LauncherX has updated the sneak peek of its up and coming sleek successor to Launcher III, an immensely popular application launcher for Palm. It's so cool that I want it like NOW! :))
Oh, by the way, what I am holding in my palm in the webcam pic is, of course, my m505. :p

//* www.*synthesis.com *//
Yeh, I have finally thought of a name! Ok, not quite yet, but at least a substantial part of it. :) I have decided my domain name will be *synthesis.com, where * is another word I have not decided. So what do you think? I was thinking of the following options: blogsynthesis, thoughtsynthesis, lovesynthesis, heartsynthesis, friendsynthesis, starsynthesis, etc. So tell me which one sounds best, or better still, suggest new ones. All ideas, however radical, are welcomed!
