1. Google Talk Posted under Weblog - 25 Aug 2005 00:02 - 0 comments Tags: tech

   As you may have heard, Google Talk is up. The client looks neat and all, but there's not much reason for most people to start using it. Sure, the voice chat thing is neat, but I know that Yahoo Messenger supports it, and probably some of the others do? Otherwise, the client seems awfully thin. Simple, like Google, but it needs to be a lot more than that to make a difference.
   
   Interesting thing about the service itself is, it's actually seems to be just a server running the open source jabber protocol. Since it's jabber, you can have more than one client on without knocking the other offline. (Am running both google client and GAIM right now) This means, if you leave your PC on at home all day for some reason, at work you can still log in to Google Talk without knocking the home login off the server.

2. Webhosting? Posted under Weblog - 14 Aug 2005 23:47 - 0 comments Tags: meta

   I'm thinking of getting some webhosting. Not that I'm unsatisfied with my free webhosting and Blogger mind you, but sometimes I just get the urge to do some server-side chicanery.

3. Pop Ratio Posted under Weblog - 14 Aug 2005 23:43 - 1 comment Tags: pop-culture

   I've known of Markku Seguerra's rebelpixel website for a while, having enjoyed his constant stream of OPM-friendly lyrics section .
   
   Today, I came upon his blog post about his band with some Pisay 96 batchmates. Their band is Pop Ratio, and he's made available some original tracks and also some covers on his website. They're pretty okay, you might want to listen to a few.
   
   I know some of my own batchmates are active in bands, I wonder if I can get any (free) samples of their music?

4. I'm Back. And I'm 27. Posted under Weblog - 14 Aug 2005 16:42 - 0 comments Tags: daily-life

   Yeah, so there.
   
   It was an impromptu hiatus anyway. Unplanned and whatever. Work has been hell lately. Not a tedious kind of hell though. Just the sort that sucks up a lot of time. I spent more than 15 hours in the office on my birthday.
   
   Twenty-seven huh? I wish I had more to say, but birthdays seem to matter less and less as I get older. I'm in a good place right now, but I'm still not where I ultimately want to be. I have a long road ahead of me.
   
   Maybe someday I'll get around to it.
