You can throw up a Firefox party at your school or workplace, collect pledges, and invite people to social networking groups at places like MySpace and Facebook. More info on getting involved.

I haven’t written anything in a while. In fact, I haven’t done anything constructive in a while, except reading for exams.

I hope to get a design done for the summer holidays, I hope I begin writing more, but even more I hope I someday graduate from high school. I put school and other “real life” things before my blog. Eventhough I love designing and writing the occasional blogpost, I need to work off-blog for a while (which I’ve been doing for the past few weeks).

Sorry to dissappoint you, but expect to see more activity during the summer. In the meanwhile, you can help me build my about page. Thanks.

Hehe, I read this from my feed reader.

An independent group holding a Gears of War Crimes Tribunal at the Coalition of Ordered Governments headquarters Wednesday to assess whether Delta Squad members Colonel Hoffman, Marcus Fenix, and Dominic Santiago had committed atrocities against the Locust Horde found the three super-soldiers’ actions justified.

The WordPress team has released another new version of WordPress for everyone to upgrade to. I’ll be upgrading once I’ve got the time in my hands.

Alrighty, rdegree has been upgraded from WordPress 2.3.3 to WordPress 2.5. It went very well. No problems or random hickups so far. And it took around merely 10 minutes—excluding download and upload times with FTP of course.

I like the new interface in the admin panel, although some options and buttons have been moved to quite odd places. I’ve also upgraded my offline version, so I can continue creating the design and keep the two synchronized. And all plugins work fine, no need to wake up creators for new versions.

Some of you must’ve heard about this, but I just found it. I just love these scientists, they’ve been researching on a grid system, capable of transmitting information quite a bit faster than the normal connections people use when surfing the net.

At speeds about 10,000 times faster than a typical broadband connection, “the grid” will be able to send the entire Rolling Stones back catalogue from Britain to Japan in less than two seconds.

Yeah, I was awestruck by that statement. And I thought I had a speedy connection. I can already imagine real-time FPS matches with hundreds, even thousands of players. Lag-free! And think about file-sharing. Gigs after gigs, in mere seconds.

Of course, the system is still quite young. Oh well, you can always hope.
