Holy shite.

I have their blog feed on my Thunderbird and this is their blog entry:

It’s our birthday too!

Google turns 7 today, we turn 8!

Too bad we didn’t think of making yet another search engine back in 1997. Oh well, we’re not complaining toooo loudly.

To celebrate we’ve made a bunch of changes:

* Unlimited domains and sub-domains on all hosting plans!
* Domain registrations are now $9.95/year (33% off!)
* If you have multiple plans with us the disk/bandwidth is now shared among all domains (no more breaking it down by plan)!
* The panel’s been re-organized a fair bit, integrating a lot of disjointed tabs into what we hope is a much easier to use format!
* For the first 888 new signups, you can get 80% off the first year of any 1-2 year plan by using the promo code “888″ when signing up!

Back to pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey!

Once again, HOLY SHITE. I made a suggestion to them a while ago that I think we should have more subdomains hosting since we have a lot of FTP accounts allocated to us. But I didn’t think they’d take that into consideration AND include more full-domain hosting capabilities!

Wow. Just, wow. This just made my day! I just hope I don’t go crazy and purchase more domain in the process!

Yep. To me, inane babbling is equivalent to free writing.

Has it been that long since I’ve last updated? Damn. I’m back to subbing for two more weeks for the band teacher. She’s satisfied with what I did the first three weeks. Yay. :3 She joked to other people that maybe from now on, she’ll go off every three weeks of the beginning of the school year, so she doesn’t do the hard work. Erm… no thanks. Once was enough for me!

Beginning Band finally played on their instruments today. Oi. My poor ears. XD I remember the days of my beginning band experiences. x_x;; And to think me and my friend thought we sounded good on The Locomotion at our Spring Concert. My ears must’ve been bad then. So the next two weeks, I’m going to be hearing a lot of hootin’, tootin’, and blarin’! ^_^ Makes me glad to have Concert Band next… even if 83 kids banging and blowing away on an instrument, creating utter cacophony, might not exactly be good music.

Three more weeks of this term and a one week break. Which one of its day will be going to the hospital for an exciting experience. Exciting? Yeah right! In my dreams. I called today, and the earliest day I can have with the doctor I want was on the 18th of October. Goodness! Do people have no life or something, so they end up going to the hospital all the time? Especially for what I’m going in for?! *coughs*

I was nearly dying in my IFSM class today. We were learning how to convert binary numbers to base 10 numbers. Then we learned how to convert base 10 numbers to binary numbers. Joy. I already did that for two years in Cisco Networking, so I literally was zoning out. I was doing the Sleepy the Dwarf thing. Tonight was one of those nights where I wished they had a computer placement exam! Granted, I’d flunk the hardware portion, but for good grief! This is ridiculously a beginner’s class! Darn the system for making that particular class a requirement. At least I’m learning something new in there somewhat, but still it’s torture!

Now that I got some babbles out of my systems, I shall shower and sleep. I am so tired. x_x;;

* Took my first IFSM 201 test this past Wednesday. I bombed the short answer part. I feel dumb. Haha. Hopefully the next two tests will be easier since I know what the format of the tests are.

* I finally received my cheque from Dreamhost! 100ish bucks for me! That really will help me since I didn’t get paid last week like I anticipated. x_x;; I get paid next week. I think.

* The mangas of Wolf’s Rain that I bought from someone for 16 bucks (6 for shipping, so it was like 5 bucks each for the two mangas) came to me on Thursday. XD

* Jen sent me a card. It was really a thoughtful gesture. ^_^ Thanks, Jen! That made my day even better!

* I finally finished Sukisyo. Great shounen-ai anime. I loved Sora, but I loved, LOVED Shinichiro Minato the best. It’s interesting how the anime focuses on split personalities, yet Minato is like…a split persona himself in a way. The teacher side and the outside of school dude. So different in appearance, but still the same dude. XD Hated Sunao. Did not like him much.

* Met Jacquie’s niece. So fucking cute, but … so loud!!! I’d go crazy if I had to be with her longer than two hours!

* Found out how my HIST 365 midterm is gonna be like today. Gotta study for that.

* Had an interesting encounter with some middle school kids. I was at this outdoor snack bar studying for my test on Wednesday. Bunch of these kids came and set their stuff on a table near me. Two of them were band students where one was a trumpet or something another player while the other was a clarinet player. Well, they stepped into the Gallery (a concession store) and the clarinet player left his instrument on the table along with someone’s gym bag. I didn’t give a rat’s arse about the bag; I was more interested in the clarinet since it belonged to the middle school.

Next thing I did was that I took the clarinet and hid it. Some people were giving me strange looks, thinking I was going to steal it. I then waited for the kids to come back out. They didn’t for a while, and I seriously thought they forgot about their stuff. Soon, they came out. The kids panicked a bit. The owner went to the snack bar lady and asked in Korean, if she had seen a “rectangular box.” I kid you not. I was cracking up to myself when I heard that. I then showed them the clarinet and gave them a good lecture on not leaving instruments unattended. They cooperated though. And I told them that I was gonna go talk to their band teacher. They were surprised that I knew her. I mentioned that I worked at the high school’s band room and that I was in band for six years myself and that I knew the importance of these matter.

* Lastly, I FINISHED SUBBING FOR THIS SESSION! The teacher comes back for next week! Sadly, after next week, I gotta sub for her two more weeks. At least I survived the first three weeks. That was such a challenge; I don’t think I’d want to go through that again. It was really interesting though. Before I passed out candies to Concert Band (passed out candies to all the class), I gave a short speech to them. It was along the lines of: “Thank you for putting up with me for the past three weeks. I know was I crabby, but thank you. And I want to thank you for your cooperation. It was crazy, but we pulled through and had some great rehearsals.” While saying that, they all cheered and clapped for me. I felt so loved and felt like I did do something worthwhile.

* What a crazy week! XD

ETA: As of May 10, 2007: I found out several months ago, that the kid who I reprimanded about the clarinet left it unattended again at the Townhouse. It was funny because I do remember that one day Townhouse had an evacuation because of some “mysterious package being in there.” I had class that night, so I was wondering what was going on there when I looked in that area. Then I found out from the high school band teacher that one of the new freshman, who came up as an Alto Clarinet player, left his clarinet with a friend, while the rest of his group went to play video games or something. Well, the friend left to go to the bathroom or something. While gone, somebody reported the cursed clarinet case as a package that may have a bomb. X_X;; Hence the reason of the evacuation. I assume that was a last straw for the middle school teacher because she made the kid switch from a soprano clarinet to an alto clarinet so he will NEVER forget it and leave it around somewhere.

Let’s just say when I found out more about the clarinet kid… I was cracking myself at the brilliant irony of it!

Couple weeks ago, maybe a bit longer, I noticed that my cordless mouse was DYING. Like the wheel wouldn’t work, and both the left and the right buttons wouldn’t work at times. I told Daddy, and he got me a new mouse.

This is my new mouse. The only thing I like about this (the stupid remote controller feature I could careless) is the fact that I can turn the darn thing off and save some battery life.

Then last night, I noticed that my keyboard… just stopped working in certain areas. For examples: Z, X, B, P, the main enter button, the alt buttons, and whatnot just died on me. Needless to say I was frustrated. The first thing I talked to Dad about this morning was, yep, I need a new keyboard.

Dependable Daddy got me a new keyboard!! I like it! I can push one key to open up Winamp, mute it, control the volume, open up Firefox, open up the calculator, even lock the computer or something, and my favourite, opens up my email!! Now if only I can figure out what the messenger button supposed to do…

But I like it. Feels funny, and certain keys aren’t where I’m used to, but I’ll get the feel for it soon. Whee. Hopefully these new keyboard and mouse last longer than the previous. Although I will miss my old keyboard. *sniffs* My first cordless keyboard goes bye bye. Wahhhhh. Well the successor seems good so far!

Still breathing, but perhaps, barely? XD Damn school and work. Lotta reading in History, and the Computer class is so basic that it’s making me cry reading the book.

Survived first week of work, surprisingly. Not enough time to do what I want though. *sighs*

Well, Capriccio got updated though. Yay.
