geek or freak?

I think my life has revolved around these IT people for waaaay too long. And I actually realized this when we were having lunch today. So we went off to lunch outside of office area, and most of us are IT people. So we were talking about riddles (can't remember what it was), then somehow it got to the topic of fishing. So, there we were talking about fishing, fishing poles, and then the fishing lure. Then my colleague mention about how fishes nowadays are not attracted to modern fishing lure except for fewer ones.. Then we started to make hypothesis of why that is... Another friend started saying maybe their image processing broken.. then it got to small RAM that it makes slow processing. Then, it hit me, "OMG, we are such geeks!". whylah this interesting topic of fishing somehow can be relatable to a modern computer? I have no idea!

Uji, please find some artsy fartsy friends who can actually start a sentence without saying "logically speaking" (er, I do admit i start lots of my sentence with this!)

blog is spammed...

My blog was spammed yesterday! And worst.... it was about Viagra Tablets! Now everybody's gonna think I need men with some viagra!!! But Ms Whimsy who read this earlier, sempat mentioned how viagra pills costs RM35 (2 yrs ago?) each and one of the most popular pills at the pharmacy! That's expensive eh, equivalent to 13 litres of fuel....



I'm sure its one of those blog virus spam.... Hopefully none of this spam would come up in one my posts in the future...

Tech - Project 2008

I have listed few personal tech ("geeky") projects for year 2008

1. Back up all digital photos to DVDs
   I have more than 10 GB of pictures in my external hard disk and laptop, mostly taken during during college. Most of them courtesy from unofficial photography Sha who takes beautiful beautiful pictures. When I grow up, I want to be like you Sha! Hehehehhe....
   
2. Burn my TV Shows to DVDs
   Hours spent collecting my tv shows, sayangnya want to delete all of them. Temporarily they are in my 250GB hard disk which I've owned for 4 years. For tech people out there, is it possible that my HD will go konk in the future?
   
3. Compile & Bind a family recipe book
   I want to compile family recipes(basically all mom's recipe), take pictures of food, print the recipes out, and bind them. This is especially important for undomestic goddess like me.
   

I think I could get goal (1) and goal (2) done before middle of the year, and goal (3) is an outgoing project.

Mind sharing what is your tech-project 2008?

Info: Do you why chili-cravers want to go for even hotter-hottest chili? There's a physiological explanation to this. When eating hot(spicy) food, our body releases endorphin (feel-good-hormones) to counter the pain brought by the chili. So in other words, we get mild-euphoria just from eating chili. So chili up everybody...
