hell yeah

Finally found the root of the problem I was having with the proxy server, and Firefox running on client machines. All the while, I thought it was a problem with Wingate. Seems like it's just that the DNS server ip I was using from my ISP is outdated. Tried a new one and now everything works fine.

I can finally use my favourite browser now. All hail Firefox!!

jackass

The movie, actually. I know it's old and I've seen the video clips lying around on the net. Most of them are actually more towards stupid/disgusting/offensive/disturbed than being funny, but somehow I was laughing through the whole 70+ minutes of the movie. Well, most of it. I was pretty grossed out when the fella actually ate and ice cone that he just peed on. The part where this dude deliberately papercut the webbings on his hands and feet (what are those called anyway?) was just plain stupid.

Come to think of it, this movie (if one can really call it that) is an honest approach to being funny (or a choice of stupid/disgusting/offensive/disturbed) than most stupid comedies out there. For instance, Stephen Chow films. Downright silly, but all the while pretending that the movies actually have a deeper meaning. I still can't understand why the hell Shaolin Soccer got awards.

When I used to watch his films, I usually forget about the whole things right after the show's over. Seriously, there's no meaning to it. Exactly like Jackass. Which is the reason why these idiots doing things that normal people wouldn't do, and having fun doing them, is honestly funnier than Stephen Chow.

I kinda think that most of the stunts (read:stupid things) they do are what most people, at least American teenagers, would've thought of doing. Eg: riding a golf cart like a bumper car; put an alligator in the kitchen to scare the shit outta the parents, etc. Thing is, these jackasses dared to do it. I wonder what kinda trouble they got themselves into filming this. Especially the dancing-in-a-thong-in-the-streets-of-Tokyo part. Or the shit-in-a-furniture-store stunt.

All-in-all, the movie was funny.

stuck

Still very much stuck in getting the proxy to work. As of now, I can't log into my Google Mail at all. Can't use Firefox either, since whatever I try to reload doesn't reload at all. Basically stuck with hated IE, once more.

Stuck with my Java assignment too. Going nowhere with it. Since I'm gonna be stuck in Ipoh this weekend and early next week, I'm probably gonna work night and day on it.

Stuck in Heliopolis playing NWN. Shadows in Heliopolis is a great module, although the main town area loads pretty damn slow and is laggy on my PC due to the huge amount of scripts running. Currently stuck, dunno what to do next and I can't seem to solve the ruined tower quest, even though I've finished everything in the tower.

updated

Been away for a while, gonna bitch about a lot of stuff now.

First off, new design. Basically did this so that it looks kinda like how my modded desktop in the office looks. All grey, simple, minimalistic yet functional. Also did it to try out the pixel-border table deisngs. This is the final one that I settled on.

Had been slaving all throught the weekend to fix the company server. Well, actually not the whole weekend, since I just threw everything down and left them to my colleague on Saturday. Big mistake there. The fella really dunno shit about anything, and I ended up doing everything myself when I came in at noon today.
It's all working now, faster internet access than before. Problems left include resetting up of all the ban lists before I can let the labs have access, how to tell my superior in KL that the Cisco firewall might have burnt, the server seems set on overheating in time if the cooling system is not improved and also the why-the-hell-the-Lotus-Domino-doesn't-work problem.
Who am I kidding? We don't even have a proper cooling system for the server room. Something I've been bugging my manager to implement, complete with costing and shit, all given to her and the only thing she can say is "Let's put a National fan in there".
Well, the new PC I'm using for a server there just overheated twice this evening. Now it's running without any covers. I don't even wanna think what'll happen if the place wasn't dust free. Freaking idiotic management.

Susi: stop going to his place.

just being stupid

I asked if you'd be there for me,
and hold me when I cried.
You said you would, always,
until the day I died.

I asked if you'd love me,
with all your heart and soul.
You said you would, with time,
you'd prove that it is so.

I swore to be honest with you,
and hoped you'd do the same.
What I did not realize,
you thought it's just a game.

I still wish to hold your hand,
until we're wrinkled and old;
to walk on soft white sand,
to have you and to hold.

But now you've turned your back on me,
and left me with this pain.
Something died in me, you see.
Without you, my heart will never live again.
