I’ve been using Aardvark for about half a year now, answering a few questions on the simpler types of programming, mathematics et cetera, and asking two or three. Answer always comes within two or three minutes.

As Aadvark is described by Wikipedia:

Aardvark is a social search service that connects users live with friends or friends-of-friends who are able to answer their questions. Users submit questions via the Aardvark website, email or instant messenger and Aardvark identifies and facilitates a live chat or email conversation with one or more topic experts in the asker’s extended social network. Users can also review question and answer history and other settings on the Aardvark website.

So it’s happened – I downloaded the free ten day World of Warcraft trial from Battle.net. It was Natima and Hina who convinced me, and it’s actually pretty fun. I’ve only played for a few hours, but I already consider the possibility of buying it when my trial runs out.

I’m an orch called Quispiam, and I play in the Auchindoun realm. See you there.

I recently joined Google’s mail client Gmail, and I have to say it works phenomenal.

However, I just saw some faulting HTML in the footer when logged in, where my pointer is in the screenshot to the right. I guess this link is supposed to point to http://www.google.com, but instead it’s http://mail.google.com/mail- <a href=. And ofcourse I couldn’t possibly contact Google about this bug without going through a series of annoying questions and searches.

Why all the vampires?

Reading about the upcoming Google Chrome OS, I get more and more interested. The current boot up time of four seconds, is a time Google is attempting to decrease. At least to me, this seems like the new era of computers.

The only thing I don’t get is how you need to be online to do almost anything on the computer. I’m online often, but not all the time. I can only hope I got the info wrong.

I just finished Prince of Persia: Sands of Time for the second time (the first being right after its release in 2003, and I suppose with loads of help from my brother Tim). It’s simply a perfect game, right in the blend of action and puzzles, light and dark. Whenever it’s too misty and dark you always get to see the light… and the story, and the graphics… just excellent. From what I heard of the sequels, Warrior Within and The Two Thrones, they are much gorier and darker, and with more focus on combat and less on clever puzzles… why? The combat in Sands of Time is perfect, never too much or too often. Maybe I will try on of those games, but more likely I will wait for the release of the next game, The Forgotten Sands, in May and buy it together with a Wii or PlayStation 3 (I’ve released I’m suddenly outdated with PS2 and GameCube – damnit).

And the movie seems strange. Why did they change Farah’s name, for one thing?

I had Twitter for a few days in August, and I just decided to reopen my account.

Welcome.
