We’ve had one of these before, when the dot-com bubble burst. What I told our company was that we were just going to invest our way through the downturn, that we weren’t going to lay off people, that we’d taken a tremendous amount of effort to get them into Apple in the first place — the last thing we were going to do is lay them off. And we were going to keep funding. In fact we were going to up our R&D budget so that we would be ahead of our competitors when the downturn was over. And that’s exactly what we did. And it worked. And that’s exactly what we’ll do this time

This tumblelog is now registered with Godaddy.com instead of Yahoo.com.

Not that you really care…But the latter was charging me $34.95 for domain name renewal for next year. I signed up with Yahoo because they had a promo offer for .com domains at $1.99/first year. So I did the smart thing and transferred this to Godaddy.com for $6.99 instead. And I get 1 year free renewal too. Now off to Yahoo to cancel before they charge my credit card. =)

Nice script! However, I can’t ignore the “you follow me I follow you and if you unfollow me, I unfollow you” sentiment associated with it. People here purport to be filled with “awesomeness” and make “real friends”. Everyone you or I am interested in doesn’t has to be interested in reading what I have to say! This reduces the entire microblogging act to a number game.

P.S- Oh and no wonder some people I have been following (even though they were not following me) started “reciprocating” back. Guess this script did the magic?

This awesome thing from stupidinboston:

What is this, you ask?

It is the result of a few days of intense coding, where in I created a new GreaseMonkey script. It is not fancy or flashy, but it does the following quite well:

  • On your following page, it adds a new section to the top of the page that shows all of the people who are not following you back.
  • On your followers page, it adds a new section to the top of the page that shows all of the people that you are not following in return.

In using this script myself, I followed some 50 or so people I was not following back, and I unfollowed about 160 people. Yay!

How do you get it / use it? Well, it is pretty simple:

  1. Use Firefox
  2. Install the Greasemonkey addon
  3. Restart Firefox
  4. Go to here to access the NoLovr greasemonkey script page, and click the Install button.
  5. Load up your followers or your following pages, and enjoy.

Thanks! I always wished I could do this. I hate being all involved in the postings of people that I don’t realize are ignoring me.

St Louis huh?

Yup, the Mobile station on Page and Woodson.

That’s not too far from my house. BP near Olive and Old Old Street Rd is selling for 1.49, I think.

We’re having all kinds of Christmas parties in our office. All the cupcakes, brownies and cakes are making me sick. They look very cute though.

Lust is easy. Love is hard. Like is most important.

Carl Reiner (via kari-shma)

Yep. That explains me pretty much. Weird that most people mistake lust for love. And mistake like for love. Or love for like.

Am I permitted to say that all these awards doing the rounds in my blogging circle at Wordpress.com make me want to gag?

As a result of which, I’m going to remove quite a few people from my friend list on Facebook. Not sure why I added them in the first place. I used to be in this state-of-mind where rejecting a friend proposal was not the done thing to do! So, I’m going to go back and undo that for now. Not sure why I didn’t clearly define the difference between real life and blogging friends.

This doesn’t mean that I don’t like the ones that I’m removing. I just don’t feel comfortable with them seeing my real life drama. Yeah, I know I can make a restricted list etc., but it’s too much of trouble. I’ll still keep some of my blogging friends on Facebook- at least the ones I really like! :-)

Ahh…this feels so nice. Blurting it out.
