Bandwith costs money, and my abuse of shutterfly.com has finally come to an end. If you look at the previous posts, you can see that they are now ALL with faulty images that wont load.The printing website finally ceased all hotlinking, meaning my entire blog has been utterly destroyed(same goes to my sis, who is pulling her hair out now).
Guess I'm moving to Photobucket.
Because Photobucket does not provide a good resizing, I had to resize this picture myself to test it out.
You'll realize that I've decided to start 'watermarking' my pictures with luzzio.blogdrive.com. I initially wanted to copy http://pigtitude.blogspot.com and use a white cursive font, but prefered to be instead a little more unique and went for a little more...erm...well...it's hard to explain. But I kinda like it.
The original size of this picture was 1600x1200 at 796kb. Now, it's 470x353 at only 43kb. Not bad, eh? The problem with Photobucket is that there will be bandwith limits. My blog isn't exactly popular so there's not much of a threat there, yet sometimes for e.g. during the weekends when alot of people are online, it MIGHT exceed, giving an ugly "BANDWITH EXCEEDED" picture instead.
So from now on, posting pictures on this blog will mean at least three times the work, with an addition of resizing and watermarking. Dang.
Here are two more samples:
As much as I love photography and blogging, it's starting to become a hassle.
*Back to studying*
EDIT: Shit. I just realized the pictures are more than 200kb each. No high quality pics then. *sigh* Do I REALLY have to move to blogger? =(
A friend of mine came to me one day saying that when a friend of her's GOOGLED "SMKSU PORN"(don't ask), they found something that linked to something about her that I uploaded for my blog. Even though the THING I uploaded was FAR from being pornographic material, my friend didn't feel comfortable about it and asked to delete it. So I did. I searched SMKSU PORN on Google again, and found that there wasn't any websites linking to my file with the words "SMKSU PORN"
What I suspect was that when SMKSU%PORN was searched in Google, the engine basically searched SMKSU and PORN. And since some of my files have the keyword SMKSU in it, and have quite a number of hits compared to most SMKSU files, that's probly why it came out. Sigh, such a waste of bandwith.
Anywho, speaking of SMKSU, there are two websites related to our beloved school that have tweaked my interest. First, of course, is to see the voting polls for Gemala's website http://fiftyxfifty.tk up again, so we can all spam our own names =/
And just a few days ago, Claire tagged my board with a link to http://smksu.com. The flash teaser, tho simple, looks cool and promising(like some fashion show). Whether it's another crappy site or a promising one, we'll just have to wait, won't we? I'm not even sure if it's an official school website.
Colin did some searching around, and found out that the creator's someone named Lim Lay Chuan, and the website is based in SINGAPORE.
If there's something I hate more than flamers, it's frogs.
Especially crazy frog. Axel 5 was SOOOO mainstream at one point that anyone who listened to it was deemed "Retard". Eh...look below the frog's belly. Holy shit, it's got a penis.
Anyway, 5 Sigma will be disecting FROGS tomorrow. Green, slimy, yucky frogs. Ech. I'm sorry, I KNOW every creature is special, but I JUST CANT STAND ANYTHING THAT'S SLIMY. I wreak at the thought of holding something like it on the palm of my hands. Basically, I'm afraid of insects(my worst case being having a rhino beetle on my head in Frazer's), and frogs(where in primary school, a boy stepped hard on a live toad, causing it's guts to blast out of it's mouth. Eyes popped. ew T_T).
=(((((((((( howwww/?????? I might faint tomorrow.
And killing anything bigger than the size of my thumb is a no-no for me =(
My parents often use her as a 'good example'. Like how my mom always says "Che che wouldn't do something like that. Che che would be more tactful. Che che this... che che that."
And really, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't.
She had 3 best friends during her very small years. I had none, and the only people I played with outside of the school, were hers.
She's a PTS, and I'm not. On top of that, she got ALL A's for UPSR and ALL A's for PMR. I got 4A's 1B, and 5A's 2B's.
She's popular among her friends, leads a happening life of outtings. I'm not, and dont.
She was in the school volleyball team, and a part of her time's 'volleyball gang', besides being an Interact Secretary.
I was never good at sports, and only had one year of post as Club Service Director.
She's got a steady boyfriend, despite it being a long distance relationship. I'm still confused with my own feelings for someone, even if that person will never like me.
She's likable, charming, and fun to be with. I'm disliked, moody, and boring.
And on top of all that, her blog has reached it's 100000th unique visitor, and my dad said she's going to be writing for The Star, and PAID, too.
This is my infamous E398. Why, it's been shown on this blog so frequent that I'm not surprised if it had its own fan club. Seriously.
But E398 decided to be a bitch recently, and malfunctioned it's USB capability. Bad E398. I oughta send you back to the shop for fixing. Yeah? Well maybe I should.
And so I did. After waiting outside the MotoService Center for half an hour, the doctor came out, holding the E398 in his hands, it's little heart beating slowly, and he said "It's gonna make it." Funny, I thought I was gonna be a daddy.
But once I got back, eager to upload my new craze song, Numa Numa(yes from chicken lil), I was dissapointed to see that my USB function was STILL not functioning.
So, lovable Hon Kit helped me get this:
A M-Card reader.
Just stick the memory card inside, and stuff the reader into a USB port. Simple.
This is my handphone's memory card. Yeah, that's my pinky finger. Yeah, it's THAT small. Plus the card is so thin I have nightmares of snapping it in half. =(
Being such a tiny card, it has to fit into an adapter before being able to fit into the M-Card reader.
Like that.
In it goes. Whoo!
I almost cried when I could access my Memory Card after a month. Not being able to change songs for so long really makes you HATE the songs that've been in there for so long. One more "You're beautifulllll" by Blunt and I'll crack.
Yes! Joy! Squeee!
=) I love my music. These are the songs currently on my phone:
Franze Ferdinand(Do You Want To, Jacqueline) Fort Minor (Believe Me, Where'd You Go) O-Zone (Numa Numa) Cold Play (Clocks, The Scientist) Nickelback (This Is How You Remind Me) Eminem (When I'm Gone) and about 6 Gundam Seed Songs. I'll add more soon, but these should do for now.
Pic of the day:
You know...Ben seems strange lately. There's something about those eyes that I don't trust. i suspect he's planning something... something cunning... something mysterious... something devious... something... EVIL.
Indeed, what hiatus? I was actually hoping to leave this blog unnattended for 3 weeks, but since the two problems have been somewhat 'resolved' and 1 week of not writing anything is more than what I can take, I guess I'm back. Miss me? No? Sigh.
Aight. I've pretty much picked the best time to put an end to my straying from the Ps2(which has been nearly a year), and it's a week from the monthly tests. Great. Ah, heck, these two games that got me back to the old black machine of love are to die for anyway:
Resident Evil 4
It's funny, cos the zombies can speak gibberish of what sounds like German, and look nothing like rotting corpses(except during the night, where they're bloodshot eyes glow an eerie red). I've found myself putting down the last 3 resident evil titles after about 3 hours because I got bored, but this game really took the cake for me. I've only played 5 hours worth of gameplay so far, but I'm seeing to it that this game is finished. That's how good it is.
The graphics may not be the best, but it's good enough to give you a feeling that "this is a great game". And really, it is. Plus, the fresh new gameplay rocks too. It also doesn't hurt that Ashley, the President's Daugther, is a checkered kilt wool turtle neck shirt wearing whiney girl. Me likey =)
The other game's Path of Neo. There really isn't much to say about this game, cos the following sentence pretty much sums it up:
