1. Yahoo Mail Beta Posted under Weblog - 28 Apr 2006 13:21 - 0 comments Tags: tech

   I tried the new Yahoo Mail Beta for a while, but I decided to switch back just now.
   
   Short review: it's nice looking, but feels a tad sluggish. Well, sluggish compared to gmail at least. The biggest problem is that scrollbar in the message list. It's like promising that you can scroll through all your messages, but when you try to scroll to a far away part of the list, you just get a lot of "Loading..." text. I doubt that scales very well, especially as you get to the thousands in your number of messages.
   
   Google is being smart in that Gmail will only display at most 100 messages at a time. With their compact layout, that's still a lot more than most other email webapps/clients.

4. Priest / Stand-up Comic Posted under Weblog - 23 Apr 2006 12:41 - 0 comments Tags: crazy-ideas

   Usually, whenever a Catholic priest gives a homily during Mass, he stands behind a pulpit and generally act like they're making a speech.
   
   At the place where I go to Mass, the priests prefer to stand in front of the altar, closer to the audience, holding a microphone in their hands and pacing around a bit during the homily.
   
   I remarked to my brother during the Easter Sunday mass: "I bet priests would make great stand-up comics."
   
   His response: "That would make an awesome sitcom."
   
   Imagine, if you will, a priest at a small parish, occasionally bored with what is surely his life's calling. Every so often, he sneaks out to his local comedy club and performs as a stand-up comic. Hilarity ensues.
   
   Too bad it wouldn't work in a Philippine setting. (No comedy clubs here...)
   
   Remember, you read it here first! If it comes out on any network, they're surely ripping me off.
