I hate it when my webbrowser crashes and I lose a big post that I was writing, possibly the first time I didnt back it up, bleh!! *Bonks Opera* Ughh… well I will start over then. I actually did end up getting some work done today %) I was bored at first so I was surfing some xanga sites, and I stumbled upon a kewl one with a link to a .tk site. Well, curious as to what country .tk was I followed the link on the site to the .tk main site (www.dot.tk) .. Well apparently it’s a small Pacific island near Western Samoa, called Tokelau. It’s a country, and is inhabited by fewer than 1500 people, and, being quite a poor unknown nation, they decided to sell and give away their domains. This is so cool… The free domains you can get are pretty much address forwarding things (you need to have a webpage, first, by typing in the domain you are forwarded to your site), but there are other packages, ranging from $10-$25.. With the free one you dont actually have legal ownership, and if you dont get enough traffic (30 hits per 90 days) they will take it away from you… but that’s quite reasonable %) And as far as banners are concerned, you choose to have them on! That’s right… you dont *have* to have your site have .tk banners on it, but there are contests and other incentives to doing so %)

Now the point of all that was not just rambling to tell everyone to get their own free domain, or to plug their for pay services… it was to say, I have www.13thHour.tk !!! And I’m pretty happy about it, obviously. I’ve been looking at 13thHour.com for quite some time noew, and have been frustrated that some meanie-head is holding it, and trying to sell it for at least $200. Hell no! And the other popular 13thHour releted sites out there are taken, so this is the next best thing %) I made the site load faster, ’cause I realized that all the images on it made it take forever if you are on dial up. So it’s a more friendly page altogether now.

So that was my big exciting news of the day. Oh, I bound my windows keys here in linux a few months back, and I just got around to telling Myk last night (I could have sworn I told him before that tho…)… Well I was gonna write up a “how to” for it ’cause pressing alt + windows key to open opera (or any other application) in linux (enlightenment desktop) is just SO COOL. Not only am I thwarting microsoft’s evilness by replacing their stupid key with a virtual compeditor, I am also making otherwise useless keys for me useful %) but I am sorta running out of time today so I guess I’ll work on those instructions tomorrow, hopefully they might be useful to someone, someday.

Hmmm what else… oh I walked up to the store today, fun fun… I bought a couple birthday cards, one for my penpal lucy, and another for a chat friend of mine. It’s the least I can do, seeing as I was completely out of touch from the rest of the world for a couple years ;) Too bad greeting cards are so freaking expensive, hehe. I thought we should probably send out christmas cards this year as well… but then I started thinking “damn I am getting old! Old people send out christmas cards!” hehehehe. Oh well, I did send out some back when I was in high school, to a couple of my good friends, this isnt much different, ‘cept I am planning on sending them to relatives too, I guess that’s the old person part %)

Anyway, I guess I’m gonna go wander off, prolly making perogies with vegtables for dinner before going out to go grocery shopping (fun fun…). I hate grocery shopping, isnt there a service that you can give your shopping list to and they do the shopping for you? Hehe… people suck, and there are always people at the grocery store… Ok, %) bye.
