... but I find interesting. I've been watching the AGU-CF-TRA love triangle and things are starting to heat up.

AGU, which is trying to take over CF, seems to be gaining success with their bid, with 62% of shares voting for the takeover. Meanwhile, yesterday, CF got three of its nominees to the TRA board (ousting the chairman) - a pretty good indication of what TRA shareholders want.

So TRA shareholders want to be bought out by CF (while the TRA board of directors does not), while CF shareholders want to be bought out by AGU (while the CF board of directors does not).

Interesting. (I pretty much exited my long position from before, leaving just a small amount in place to catch any additional upside - I'll initiative a long in another one of the players next week)

Jinn wanted me to do a french manicure for her but I think I made a mess T___T SORRY!!! I'LL DO A BETTER ONE NEXT TIME LOL.

Then we got lazy and lay around her bed and fooled around wtf. Started taking stupid pictures to "represent" certain people HAHAHAHA I thought that was kinda fun 8D

Drying nails?


Then she started being kiddy D8

THE 'WTD' FACE 8D!!! No one else knows the meaning behind this besides us, Lester, Christine and strangely Steph.. HAHAHAHA. Well, Lester started it.

We watched Music Bank on KBS World with Chee Kin later in the evening. SUCH GOOD PERFORMANCES! I enjoyed Taeyang, 2PM and SS501's the mosttt. SS501 won their winning chart this time again XD! I couldn't really choose between 2PM and SS501, but I'll still be very happy if either one of them wins first place <3 I LOVE THEM SFM!!! ^___^ MAMA performances are on tonighttt, CAN'T WAIT~! XD

We went to Pizza Uno for dinner after that with Lester, Nick and Mr Black  (LOL IRIS) Ranessh! I haven't seen Ranessh since Lester's birthday party in August, SO HI THAR! 8D Had so much laughter coz of them hahaha XD

Currently listening to: 2PM - 기다리다 지친다

Here's some coverage on MindTouch Cloud:

• MindTouch Joins Google, Zoho in Collaboration Cloud
• MindTouch Cloud: The Open Source Alternative to Sharepoint and Salesforce.com?
• Sharepoint Watch Out - Mindtouch Goes SaaS 
• MindTouch launches its open source cloud

Good stuff. I can't believe it's Thanksgiving next weekend! Time flies...

MindTouch Cloud finally launched. It's the project that's responsible for my first all-nighter in eons. It's also why I worked off-site for close to a week. It's launched, but unfortunately that's only the beginning.

I can tell that I'm not as green anymore: the joy of launching this site lasted about 10 seconds before I started compiling the work items for the next version. This project is continuous. It's tough to think that all the work I put into this site will mostly be thrown away over the coming few weeks, but I'm used to it now. Evolve, baby, evolve! I've gotten the ball rolling, now let's hand it off to people so they can make it more excellent!

I was going to write a bit more, but now I'm tired. So this will have to be a placeholder entry.

I don't want to talk about this on FB because I don't need the whole world to know.

I am in need of a Metal Health day. And if one isn't familar with what that is, it's essentially a 1 day vacation, away from all the things that are stressing you out.

My school, work, family and personal life is beyond my control at the moment. But I just need to get through the next three weeks and this semester will end and hopefully I can work at resolving other things.

Two things are really bugging me at the moment. One is at work. I took measures today to hopefully resolve some of the pressure that have been handed to me because I am one of the oldest people in my department and the one with logic, reason, and objective oh and professionalism. So it has been put on my shoulder to deal with something that has gotten out of hand. But it is regarding a certain person. Because I am not HR personel nor upper management I am not allowed to deal with it on my own otherise it'd get much messier if I don't handle it properly. Instead I had to properly present the issue to upper management. I could literally get this person fired/canned whatever you wish to refer to it as. But I am not that malicious so I still held a lot of things back. If I say certain things, but the reprucssions may affect more than one person.

The other is the realization that I didn't make any impact on someone I thought I had brought change to. Or at least I feel like I am left with that impression ... It's no one's fault but my own. I just wish I had never been so foolish. I am contemplating on whether or not I regret caring about that person. It scares me that I even think that way. But I think I'm just mad and I want someone to lash out at.

At this point in time I just want to survive this semester and hope that I can recover my emotional and mental well being come Winter break. Music seems to be the only thing keeping me from the brink of insanity.

I'm such a nail freak damn it. Actually in all, I'm a freak in beauty stuffs D8 Blame mom. (Though I wish I've better hair condition to do hairstyling as well but meh screw that shit I'm just fated with bad hair all the time)

This is a simpler design I looked up from some site I found and shared it with Xinyi. She almost wanted to attempt this design as well Xinyi, seriously we should just consider having matching nails for once. 

I used:

The Face Shop in some dark pastel pink (code PK108)
Revlon in Autumn Berry (code 480)
Etude House's glitter tip brush
Silky Girl's 2 in 1 protective top & base coat  

It's really easy! I didn't have a problem finishing off my right hand's fingernails too, surprisingly. It's just all about patience and some creativity. IT'S SO FUN, I FEEL LIKE REMOVING THEM OFF AND MAKING MORE DESIGNS WTF. Sometimes I wish I've more fingernails to design on ㅠㅠ Anyways, tell me what you think 8D! I have matching toe nails with dark french tips too (with rhinestones as well!) but I was too lazy to snap a photo of my fat and hairy toes omg.  

Sadly the tip of my thumbnail (LOOOOOL THUMBNAILLL, GEDDIT? 8D nvm) is on its way to breakage NOOOOO! I'm trying not to let that happen but but but T____T~ It's really not that easy to maintain strong and long nails. Shit la sounds so damn bimbo XD

Bloody Steph unnie not online tonight... it's bloody 4AM LOL. Nvm, I've Jinn with meeee <3 SHE'S ONLINE AT THIS HOUR!! 8DDDD But we'll be heading off to bed soon. We've pan mee to nomz tomorrow morning and Sakae Sushi in the afternoon with Stef and Chee Kin. 

I ran outta orgasm after looking at 2PM's photoshoot. GOD HELP ME. I still want back my Seattle baby. Boston, Thai and Italian aren't enough for me >8( But I gotta say, Chansung's getting hotter each time I see him OMYGODDDDD 8DDD!! Lester, you know I'm gonna melt and die again as always. Oh and, Taecyeon's mine and you're not gonna lick his shoulders coz I'm gonna do it first LMAO. *Runs for her life*

NG cuts of 2PM's Brownie CF! <3
I simply love their CF endorsements. SIGH!! <3 Anything 2PM is acceptable in my life ^_______^

Because of them (and also You're Beautiful drama), they make me wanna get the Samsung Corby phone. GOD DAMN IT. I don't have the money or even the reason to get a new phone Sigh. Can it just drop down from the sky? I want the yellow or orange or white one please LOL. Or if the green one's already out, I want the green also HAHAHA! Sigh, damn this thing called money. 

Here's me and Jinn's so called last conversation of the "night"... or morning. Whatever. WE NEED TO FUCKING GET UP BEFORE 9.45AM LA WEI. Goodbye people!

If you're like me, you're getting tired of hearing about the run-up in gold prices (and the dollar taking a beating as well). Take comfort in the stability (and never-changing-ness) this graph (courtesy of pk):

The Price of Gold (denominated in gold):

NeoPages.net, one of my old projects, was a community/free hosting site (I was one of the earliest sites to promote the "participate in the forums to get free hosting" concept). I created it back during the Geocities/Xoom days before (a) private hosting was pricey and (b) the free hosting sites SUCKED. I was fortunate enough to be able to pay for hosting, but I knew others (who were just as talented as I was) couldn't afford it (or they were overseas and couldn't use a CC to buy hosting).

Anyways, I love personal home pages that take me back to those days - you don't see too many of them lately (they're all WordPress/Drupal sites).

I still host one of these sites, Skytopia.com, on the same server as Tabulas. A recent article posted on that site recently got picked up by Digg and Slashdot: Mandelbulb, the 3-D Mandelbrot. The math and details are a little over my head, but the thing has some pretty awesome 3-D models. Check it out.

So how does this relate back to me? This is your server's bandwidth usage when the site gets passed to Digg/Slashdot/etc:

I'm surprised my server survived the Slashdotting - I had to boost some Apache config values (Helloooo MaxClients), but it (mostly) stayed up without problems (it was a bit sluggish for a while, though).

I remember when I used to think I was hot shit cause my server would transfer more than 500GB a month. Now I'm at risk of breaking the 2 terabyte limit.

I wonder when I'll think 2TB is nothing.
