Digital Fugue - Random Thots

Old site

I was going thru my old stuff in the hard drive and i found my old website.
Come to think of it... its freaking UGLY! hahahaha...

I worked on the site during free time in the late 90s. Actually there are 2 sites, one is my personal site and the other one is a rock climbing site. I've archived them to my geocities account.

go visit them and have a good laugh! hahahah

Ironic or is it weird?

I just found out that Layne Staley of Alice in Chains died on the same day Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) died... and in the same city, Seattle. Cause of death: speedball overdose.
Don't play with fire kids.
Another legendary grunge rocker gone.

Doesn't make sense, does it?

Decided to have a 'quiet' night last night. Instead of partying my head out on a saturday night, i decided to accept a friend's invitation to go for a midnight show and watch XXX.
OK movie if u are into explosions and all... preety cool. The (CGI enhanced) avalanche is ultra cool but it doesn't make sense. But the story line sucks... typical hollywood "eat-it-in-your-face" American Hero flick. I give it a two and a half star.

Anyway, after the movie we desperately need to go to the loo. At 2 am all the entrance to the nearest available toilets in 1utama are locked, so we head to a nearby gas station.

Went to the loo, and i saw this guy beside his car peeing on a tree...
What the f...??? the toilets are wide open, 2 urinals and a toilet, and the fucker decided to pee on the tree.
A moment later, as i was about to enter the toilet, his girlfriend came out from the GENTS...
What the f...??? the ladies' toilet was functional as well...

we got a guy peeing on a tree behind the gents... and a girl using the gents???
Am i on planet earth?

Listening to: Sex and Candy, Marcy Playground

Kiwi Band

Have any of you heard of The Feelers, a band from New Zealand. They're preety cool.. songs are good. Sort of like rock with a little of electronica. Something different, away from the mainstream rock and go. Interesting composure. Actually, my ex-girlfriend introduced me to this band. She brought home their single, Venus. I fell in love with that song and a few other songs in that single. A couple of MP3s later, i found out that this band is really cool. Unfortunately, I cant find their record in any of our record stores here. Maybe i'll buy them online.

Their official site: http://www.thefeelers.com/ (heavily Flash 5.0 packed!)
Here's one of the fan site: http://thefeelers.myhost.net.nz/bg3/index2.html

Listening to: Pull the strings, The Feelers

PULL THE STRINGS
It's all for you again
It's in your favourite view again
You pull the strings and make the puppet fly
Your fate can make you die
And it's all for you

And no one told me what you want to hear
It's only time that makes us change
The people round me don't know what to fear
They're petrified of change

Your a wrecked no matter what
You come and see that she's the perfect shot
You pull her strings and make her puppet fly
Your fate can make her cry
And it's all for you

Chorus
Of change
Of change

Chorus 2x
They pull the strings for change
Pull the strings for change

Medieval: Total War

Yess.. based on some insider info, Medieval: Total War should reach our shores by the end of this month!

Being Twenty-Something...

Sham sent me this interesting email...
I felt like my palm was being read or something like that :)

Being Twenty-Something ...

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared. You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.

You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that most people relates to it. After all, we are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

sounds like a suicide note eh? heheh

While I gently weep on my Guitar

What happens when you add a Fender and an Ibanez together?
- You get a Fernandez

errr.. bad joke... anyway someone's letting his Fernandez off for about RM700... cool deal!
But I still need to test (and thrash) it first...

Oh yeah... While I was at ADEN, Jayce sampled 3 tracks from Yassin's upcoming album (to be released in sept/oct). They were GOOD!
I think Yassin is going to grab a couple of awards at the AIM again... heck he might well be nominated for the best world music album.
And Jayce d' aceman is going to produce the 3 music videos... isnt that great?
heheheh... i have a rough idea whats its going to be like...! just wait and see... ;)

Hmmm... talking about album releases... NRG is releasing their debut next week... better get the details frm them tomorrow nite.

Listening to: Que me Quedes Tu, Shakira
"Para siempre tu melancholia"

Comments still down

Errgh... no time to test out blogback and YAACS.

Was up till 4 last night replaying Shogun: Total War, Warlord edition.
Lord Shimazu (me) had the greatest army of all Japan, until Lord Uesugi went all out and sends his never ending kamikazes... eventually they all didnt have time to replenish and most of their territories were taken up by Ronins and Rebels.
Of course I got to know about that a little bit too late. In the mean time Lord Oda and Lord Takeda decided to break their alliance with yours truly and had a field time bashing me up in a preety one sided tag team.

Well OK, it was actually an anticipation for the upcoming Total War: Medieval.
Since Warcraft 3 is Warcrap, I'm banking on Medieval to be "The Game" to play! ... at least until Doom 3 comes out!
Then again, i need to buy myself a new Gforce3 video card to run the damn game! Better start saving dude!

Somehow rather I have the sudden urge to watch Amadeus again... hmmm... better get myself that DVD player... watching on the laptop is no fun.

Listening to: Sour Girl, Stone Temple Pilots
(i love this song!)

From enetation...

Got this off enetation.co.uk
August 18th 2002
Two of the enetation servers were bombarded for several hours by multiple IP's severally restricting server output, such a denial of service is hoped to be prevented in future with a new packet filtering system and automatic rerouting of 'geniune' requests. Some users may have experianced slowness in using enetation during this period (3am-1pm GMT). All is now back to normal, and we will be back to development (see below) which was interupted! :)

August 17th 2002
We are working on an all new coding for user.php, so that no database calls need to be made thus resulting in a near transparent load time while using enetation. Translation: enetation will be faster than ever. We also have some big developments that we are waiting to deploy, so stay tuned!

Well, even after that, the loading was still a bit of a crawl...
tried to log in, but it says the page was off line... managed to log in after 1 hour.
Hmmmmm... i'll try some other commenting system. Currently looking at YACCS and Blogback. Any other suggestions are welcomed.

Meanwhile post your comments on the tag-board.

Listening to: Solfeggietto, Carl Phillipe Emanuel Bach

Bug

I've finally figured out what's slowing down the loading of fugue.blogspot.com! The culprit is enetation commenting system.
If enetation.co.uk is down, the page loading will crawl to its max, trying to connect to each comment on the page.

For the time being, I've disabled enetation commenting system on the posts... that should speed things up..

So, right now.... im looking at other commenting system... any suggestion..?
