You can still search for guys to date you if you really wanted to.

This is so true Amber. I make it a habit to avoid the flame wars. If I disagree with another about a like or preference, so what? Those differences are a part of what makes life exciting and unpredictable.

Glad I still have my mixi account, but upset now that I can't search for people in Japan to date me and be my sugar mama without ever coming in contact with them.

The ridiculous homepage load time was not there when I initially reviewed the software. I took a look at it right at launch. Honestly was not aware it was still open.
Also I did state it was meant for the less savvy folks. I was trying to politely state it was for people who don't use many services and like easy interfaces.
It had some promise when it launched, it was fairly buggy though.

Pretty good ??? You are lucky if the site loads within 30 minutes ! When you finally get on the homepage it takes another 30 minutes to upload the java applet...by this time I did not have the patience to upload any pix.....just left. Sorry, but Kadoo sucks big time. Looks more like a pre-beta site.

It was the first video that I saw, and it got me interested. I figured why not see if it works again.

Wow, where'd you dig up this old video? There are a couple other more recent videos on the Habari site here: http://habariproject.org/en/screencasts

What's this Macworld thing? Isn't that where some pretty thin and frail white guy talks about some sort of clean faced OS that is a lot like white bread and then stuns the world with a major announcement about something that'll be abused by teens?

On other news, Macbook Pro fund is nearing it's half-way mark, and I have a windows based laptop finally.

I'm still upset about that too! I was looking forward to the XP cutoff date.

Had MyBlogLog on here ages ago, but for some reason having the people who passed by feels like clutter. Might implement it on a personal page, but technically this site has mulptiple authors and it just seems inappropriate somehow.

Facebook's is a little complicated, so for now, I'm stick with Google's. I know they are the big wigs, but it's just like MyBlogLog and Bloghology.

Mmm Morning Cat-Butt. I have some for breakfast all the time.

I tend to drop my clipboards a lot, I'm kind of ashamed of that. Oh, and I did make it to Wales to tour the studio, but that was in a dream, and it involved some people from work, and there was an anti-british government uprising, suddenly it turned to into the 1700's, and then The Doctor took me away, but this time she was a woman, and Torchwood hit on me, but I declined saying "I can't date the Face of Boe, plus, female Doctor, come on!"

Then I woke up to a cat trying to smother me with "Morning Cat-Butt Syndrome"

I re-mini-launched my other site again today in between calls about why their XBOX wasn't working. Today, I retained my title of Simian Downtime Analyst, with gusto. We were a lot of busy monkies today, lots of monkies.

"Hi, this is Teh James with Zest, how can I assist you this evening?"
"Uh.. My XBOX isn't working with your $^@&^ equipment buddy, I demand you swap this out for me now!"
"Certainly, I can add an additional Internet service to your account to resolve this issue"
"What? NO! I want you to swap this out"
"Well, by the time we install your new internet line, the long posted about maintenence outage on the XBOX Live servers will be finished, so it will resolve your issue"
"What maintenence?"
"Don't you read your email or xbox messages or lookup information on the official xbox forums and websites?"
"Yes..."
"Then you've obviously seen the notices about the upgrades coming in the fall and the pre-maintenence required."
"Oh, yes yes, that's right...."
"Okay, we'll be out on Thursday to install your additional internet equipment, thanks for calling have a good night!"

Thanks for the mention - didn't realize it was Blog Day either. I'll have to catch it next year.

Things like this make me keep my list of other blogs on a page by themselves. It is so easy to keep finding great ones to recommend to others.

Re: Did Not Know It Was Blog Day

Roundpeg — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:52:58 -0000

Glad you saw the post in time. I have read Mike and Shey's blogs, but I will need to check out the other three. This has been so much fun today. I have found so many cool new blogs to check out, I may never get any work done!
