Less Productivity. The internet connection at my work place now is VERY SLOW. Slow. Slow..

That’s the problem when your day-job depend 100% on the broadband. Nothing much can do now.

slow connection, broadband, streamyx, gary the snail

Woot! Tomorrow the team and I will be going to Melaka (again) for the recording. Will be leaving Shah Alam roughly around 7am. Do pray for our journey, our food, our instruments, our place to sleep and our vehicle as well.

Everything will be alright, that’s for sure.

recording, studio, melaka, gecko, happy

Now I’m reading about Platypus in Wikipedia.

What is Platypus, anyway?

The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the four species of echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.

The Skeleton.

The Platypus has been used several times as a mascot: “Syd” the Platypus was one of the three mascots chosen for the Sydney 2000 Olympics along with an echidna and a kookaburra,”Expo Oz” the Platypus was the mascot for Expo ’88 which was held in Brisbane in 1988, and Hexley the Platypus is the mascot for Apple Computer’s BSD-based Darwin operating system, Mac OS X.

Nothing better to do. But it’s good for your knowledge. Peace.

The latest version of Mozilla Firefox web browser, Firefox 3 released today. I’ve tried the beta version of Firefox 3 before in my Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) and what i can say, it’s not good enough. Few plugins/add-ons were not compatible (i dunno why Ubuntu 8.04 set Firefox 3 Beta as their default browser). Also a bit lagging when you open multiple tabs. Yea, i consider all that since it was a beta version. However it has improved! Still rocking lar, i must say. Much Better than IE7.

I’m sure this latest version of Firefox is getting better. Download for free. Hey! Don’t forget to spread the word about the Download Day, a mission to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours!

Woot! I’m going to..

Once upon a time..

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: ‘Hi, how are you?‘

I’m not the type to start a conversation in the men’s restroom but I don’t know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, ‘Doin’ just fine!‘

And the other guy says: ‘So what are you up to?‘

What kind of question is that? At that point, I’m thinking this is too bizarre so I say: ‘Uhhh, I’m like you, just traveling!‘

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. ‘Can I come over?‘

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell him, ‘No……..I’m a little busy right now!!!‘

Then I hear the guy say nervously…

‘Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!!‘
