//* Ice Age *//

Went to watch Ice Age with Alex & Trevor. Actually wanted to catch A Beautiful Mind, but it was not showing at Tiong Bahru. I have not watched a movie for a long time. The last one was Monsters, Inc and the one before that was Shrek! Don't get me wrong - I'm not a hardcore fan of animation movies, it's just coincidence. Ice Age is not really that nice a show. I still like Shrek and Monsters, Inc much better than this one.

//* Insured *//

I am looking at the referral form and wondering whose name and phone number I should put. I have promised Rosanna to fax her the form in the afternoon. But I have left the form at home, and anyway, I don't know who I can refer to her. I dread having to give friend's phone numbers to insurance agents, although as my agents, they have served me well. I have actually invested quite a bit into insurance policies since I started working. I think I have about 10 policies now! A number of them are mainly investment plans though. So I suppose you can say I'm making my money work really hard. :)

//* w.bloggar *//

Found an even better blogger client - w.bloggar. Has all the features that blogBuddy lacks, sports a fantastic UI and is still freeware! And this software is made in Brazil. It's simply awesome! Obviously, this very post has to be posted from w.bloggar, and many many more hereafter.
//* OpenSSL *//

Anyone knows OpenSSL? Have to learn it to generate some CD keys for a project, and we need to complete it by next Wednesday! Will be meeting up with the infosec guys tomorrow morning. They are the experts so hopefully we can make it with their help.
//* Can't 'chat' *//

Something's wrong with flooble chatterbox - posting is not working when I try just now.

//* Rain *//



Someone up there must have heard me, cos I woke up this morning to sounds of thunder and before long, it began to pour heavily. Yahoo!! I was so delighted that I even took some pictures of the rain from the kitchen window. Hurrays to the rain for driving away the heat that has been so overwhelming over the last few days!
//* Hot! Hot! Hot! *//

Arrghh! I'm having a headache... probably because the weather is so hot! It's so warm that I can sweat all over even if I just sit still. The hot season is back again and it is getting on my nerves...

//* Need to shop *//

Have to go and shop for a pair of golf shoes as a belated birthday present this weekend. I know there are a number of golf shops around town. But I don't play golf myself. So I don't know what's best and, worse, may even get conned by the shops. Maybe I'll call James...he plays golf.

//* Birthdays must remember *//

It's a friend's birthday today. She said she is surprised I remember it. I replied that "Good friends don't always meet but birthdays must remember!" She remembers my birthday every year, so I should also remember hers.

//* Exercise not enough *//

It began to pour heavily in the afternoon, and I thought my plan for a jog in the evening is wrecked. But the rain actually stopped and my excuse was gone. So at half past six, I dragged myself to the gym to change. After a downpour, the weather is cool and the air is refreshing - perfect conditions for some exercise. I duly completed my rounds and head back home. I wish I have the discipline to do this 2 to 3 times a week - my tummy is becoming more and more unsightly!! :-(

//* 921 *//

Exactly 921 days after the Taiwan 921 earthquake in 1999, another powerful quake hits Taiwan today March 31, 2002!!
//* Webcam!! *//

Webcam is up!! The "webcam" is actually my Canon DC. I have been looking high and low for applications that will allow me to use it as a webcam. I was almost giving it up when, lo and behold, I chanced upon Cam4you! It's simply the best utility for my DC, and its remote control feature means that I can now take automatic shots at regular intervals. What is left is to find an ftp client that will upload my webcam pic automatically as well. This I found in FTP Control. After hours of tweaking, the setup is finally complete!

//* A day in the life of ... *//

I had not intended to go down to the roadshow. But Leon called early in the morning to say that POS could not print and want someone to go down to fix it. Jon's handphone was getting directed to his voicemail. So I had to make the trip. When Leon called later to say he has fixed the problem himself, I have already told mum I am going out for lunch. So I went anyway, taking my DC along.

All the marketing people were there, of course. And I began snapping pictures. The crowd was slowly building up. Caught Andrea on candid camera as she walks by. Her order was to, of course, erase the shot. The shot is still, now, in the CF...hehe. After a while, I went off and walked into Carrefour where I bought the GP PowerBank. I need to get rechargeables for the DC that is comsuming alkaline batteries like nobody's business. I got back in time to see Fandi on stage and Elena among the crowd. It was about one past when I bid Andrea goodbye and then lunched at Delifrance. I like Delifrance sandwiches although I regretted ordering the soup. :-(

At home, XP could not start and I spent like 2 hours recovering from the corrupted registry problem. And that's one eventful day in the life of a nerdy blogger from Singapore...:p
//* Different Host *//

I have been thinking about moving out of Blog*Spot. I have heard wonderful appraisals for DifferentHost. So I should be moving pretty soon. However, I have not thought of what new domain name I should get. Anyone can offer some suggestions to help me out?
