Status update for the past week: 1) I got Internet. An ETISALAT dongle, and it is SWEET! Hell, torrents runs at 250 kbps. 2) My Maths teacher apparently has a big, career-making / breaking engineering porject, and whoops – class is down for four months, with 9 months left for my A/Ls. Shit on toast. Now I gotta find a teacher
A friend of mine introduced me to Fiesta, a free-to-play MMORPG he’s been playing lately. Now, yours truly has never played an MMORPG before. I’m well aware of the favourites – Wow, Rift, and my all-time (wide eyes) favourite, EVE ONLINE. But suffice it to say that I fell in ...
Cant’ believe I lost the password to my blog! Well here goes my latest rant: Compared to us, a butterfly is a very simple creature. What does it react to? “Find flowers”, probably. Optimal temperature and pressure conditions. It’s basically a set of limited senses coupled with a need to seek basic, optimal requirements. Not very different from us humans, ...
Ever wanted to make games? Well, why not start now? You don’t need to know C++. Or Java. Or any other programming language on the market.

Alright, I wasn’t online. Sorry, all those who do keep an eye out on this blog. During the past two weeks I almost totally forgot my online life . . . it’s hard enough to run my real life as it is. Running 24/7 for this and that with a thousand problems on your head – and studies to top ...
I am not a pro-government fellow. But neither am I with the Opposition, whose only task these days seems to be to try to keep [their] sinking ship afloat. It occurs to me that the government IS actually trying to do something other than fill their pockets, but as usual it’s going about in the wrong way. Take education, for ...
Ever been on a bus (in Sri Lanka, mind you)? It’s about 30 degrees celcius outside, it’s about 40 inside (what with all the people packed like sardines in a can) . Suddenly you get pushed aside as a 900-ton woman (9/10 of women over 40 fit into this range) pushes you aside, cruising through the bus like an effing ...
I’m a *massive* RPG (Role Playing Game) fan. Mass effect 2 rocks; heads up to Fallout 3, people. And Dragon Age: Origins was a masterpiece. And Mini Ninjas, while devoid of storyline, was cute and refreshing. That said, let’s not forget to wee 2D scrolling RPGs that we know and love. Many people say 3D is the ONLY thing. ...
Customer support, I believe, is one of the most important aspects of any business. It is also one of the most rewardless areas. Customers can be difficult. They can bitch and grumble, they can whine and pester you, and at the end of the day you’re pissed off enough to smash the customer’s face in. Well, don’t. In the minefield ...
