On scene, at Compass Point National Library

So i've tried out Open Office, unimpressive. But a nice free replacement nontheless. I took the chance to install Office 2007 in school after my meeting with Miss Yee and Jocelyn, who, interestingly enough, calls Jocelyn Joycelyn, and me Matthiaus on certain occassions.

Endearing, no?

On the other hand, i'm actually blogging using this browser called Opera, honestly, i could learn to like this. IE is still the suck honestly (damn bloody resource hog), so i think i'd need to play around with this more to see if i can replace firefox with this. I seem to be using Facebook more now also. The really handy feature i like is where one can tag the faces in the photographs and this can allow the photos to be shared across the social network with the people in the pictures. Very nifty really!

I just might try out a consumer distribution on Linux once i get around it. I've heard good things about it, so just for the heck of it.

I'm still not too used of the idea of having a backspace, half the size of the usual. But i am getting better at it now.

I figured since i didn't have Office on this laptop i'd take the opportunity to try OpenOffice, this office productivity software i've heard so much about. Thankfully the download speeds for Wireless@SG is quite decent, so i don't have to wait many hours for the 120+ MB download.

Will test-drive the new appliance and probably post my thoughts here once i've composed them properly.

i've went for karaoke about four or five times this week, i've lost count. Now i'm going to collect my xbox, and hopefully have it up and running by tonight. i hope my Fable save is still there, man i missed that game. okay, i've arranged a meetup with the xbox repairman at 9.30. I will see you all soon.

Good day and welcome to the next update to my life.

I'm currently sitting down at one of the seats at Sim lim, while my girlfriend sits opposite me eating cheese naan with chicken curry that costs 3 dollars.

And by the way, i'm blogging from a laptop that i just acquired last night, a IBM Thinkpad X60. The real purpose i'm here at Sim Lim is upgrading the RAM on this current laptop and getting a nice sleeve for it. While i'm at that, i'm hoping that i can collect my xbox that i sent in for repairs two weeks ago.

I've been splurging on gadgets lately and I feel like myself again. The only thing that slightly irritates me now is the fact that the backspace key on this laptop is about half the normal size, and hence, causing me to press the "=" key instead.

I should get used to it soon enough though, i hope.

Until next time, take care people. School starts in about a week.
