Colibri

Posted 2006-10-10 (火) 午後10:34 by terra

Met 傑義 for dinner tonight. He passed me the autographed copy of Fragile Things (which I very shamelessly got him to carry back from San Francisco), but the coolest thing was learning from him about this software, Colibri, which allows one to open software on one’s PC, favourite URLs (FYI: it even opens a new tab on Firefox), etc, without having to use the mouse!

I have a love/hate relationship with the mouse: I need it especially for designing stuff but really hate using it to open software. The XP pinup menu makes it bit easier, but still, you have to either click on the Start button and keyup/down, or search through the gigantic list of items in the complete Start Programs menu AND remember to sort them alphabetically.

Mac users have probably been going nahh nahh ni nahh nahh for ages and ages. Argh, this makes me feel like saying good riddence to WinXP!!!

Colibri Banzai!

Absolute Sandman Vol. 1 -- Released?!

Posted 2006-10-09 (月) 午前2:16 by terra

Just checked out Amazon today. Couldn’t believe what I saw: Absolute Sandman Vol.1 for sale? I thought it was supposed to be released in November. This kind of wrecks my plans of using my Amazon Associates voucher that should be paid at the end of the month. Now I’m wondering if I should just go ahead and get the book and save the voucher for next time (maybe for Vol.2).

Haze all in my eyes, things just don't look the same

ごめんね Jimi, but that was the first thing that came to my mind…

The weather is usually such a boring topic to talk about in Singapore but this time I just have to gripe. Tiredness + smog really messes up my eyes which are naturally sensitive to dryness. Watching the 2nd episode of Smallville S6 makes me wish Clark was around to temper the smog.

The Tragedy of an INTP

Posted 2006-08-27 (日) 午後6:42 by terra

The burdens of being me:
…an ever-pervasive sense of impending doom (I tend to overthink things sometimes).
…perfectionism (it’s a disease).
…potential dilettanteism: once the subject no longer facinates me.
…reluctance to emote; the fear of being emotional: until stress accumulates, leading to emotional distress and outbursts.
…embarassment when being praised (WHY?)
…often misunderstood because of difficulties in expressing myself.
…hating to have to stick to convention and being wrongly thought of as being arrogant as a result.
