The feeling of Sunday is the same everywhere, heavy, melancholy, standing still.

Jean Rhys (via affremblequotes)

I don’t feel like going for work tomorrow! :-( I had a 5 day long weekend. Can’t wait for Christmas holidays now.

Soup.io will be discontinued :(

Dear soup.io fans and users,
 
today, we have to share very sad news. Soup.io will stop working in less than 10 days. :(
 
It's breaking our heart and we honestly tried whatever we could to keep the platform up and running. But the high costs and low revenue streams made it impossible to continue with it. We invested a lot of personal time and money to operate the platform, but when it's over, it's over.
 
We are really sorry. Soup.io is part of the internet history and online for one and a half decades.
 
Here are the hard facts:
- In 10 days the platform will stop working.
- Backup your data in this time
- We will not keep backups nor can we recover your data
 
July, 20th, 2020 is the due date.
 
Please, share your thoughts and feelings here.
 
Your Soup.io TEAM

An Earth-friendly Christmas tree

Instead of buying cut Christmas trees, trying renting a potted one this year. The environment will thank you.

Me, Myself & I

So my neighbors finally decided to put a password on their wireless network. I was pretty upset when I tried to check my e-mail this afternoon and discovered that I had been cut off, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect it to happen eventually.

I have a computer at school, so I’ll still be able to check things online during the week. But for the next two weekends, I have to wait for my own internet service at home because I don’t get my alien registration card until December 12. It kinda sucks: no phone, no bank account, no internet. I can’t get any of these without a little piece of plastic stating that I can legally reside in this country. Oh well… I must cope without technology until then.

I have no idea what I’ll do with myself all day tomorrow until I go to work Monday morning. God forbid I actually join modern society. I mean - what the hell is out there? People?

If they are using WEP for encryption, you can hack it easily. Google for airsnort or aircrack (this article has some basic info if you need it, as well).

I’m surprised that stupidinboston is alluding to the fact that she can hack into someone else’s network! Not only is this illegal but also unethical. Someone is paying for that internet and they deserve to receive the full bandwidth. I would be mad if someone were to do this to me! I do understand Laozoa’s situation.

eBay and its stupidity

I have no idea why eBay suspended my account about a month back. The email said “Your account is associated with another suspended account XXXXX”. For re-instatement, please fax documents 1,2, 3 &4. I got so f-ing annoyed! I’ve been meaning to fax my documents since almost a month. Finally got them ready. Now I need to find a fax machine. Or mail these physically. :-\

Items to be faxed:

  1. Cover letter saying that I understand the Terms and Conditions (sure!)
  2. Request for Reinstatement form
  3. Copy of Drivers license
  4. Proof of Billing Address

And then wait for 48-72 hours until someone gets back to you and a decision is made. WTF?! I have 100% rating on eBay. I have never duped anyone. Never stolen anyone’s money! Why don’t they go and catch those people who are actually dishonest and make a living out of it?

I fixed this pair of shoes- one of those golden bows got lost somewhere and I had stopped wearing these. I ordered new green colored bows (pack of 12- couldn’t get a pack of just 2) on Ebay and glued them on! I’m so happy that I can wear these again. :) The green color of the bow stands out and I am loving the new effect.

should also include to say “So why shouldn’t I WORK on “Black Friday”?” (in light of the Walmart employee who got killed due to the mad rush).

My Grand mom

My grand mom passed away two days back. I got to know about it yesterday. I knew that she had been keeping unwell since the past couple of months. Still, I always hoped that she will recover. My mom didn’t have the strength to deliver this piece of news and it took a lot of courage on her part. I’m happy that she seems to be holding herself very well. I was not there for her when her best friend died about 1.5 years ago. And I was not there for her two nights back, when her mom left her forever. My mom’s so courageous. She went through all of this alone. She preferred not involving me because she knows how emotional I am. I was speechless last night. All I could do was cry loudly. I was supposed to be strong for my mom. Instead, it was her who was doing all the consoling.

I haven’t seen my grand mom since last August 2007. I remember buying her a box of scented powder. She used that every single day. She refilled the box with another brand of powder and used the powder puff anyway. “It’s very soft”, she said. She was really happy to see me the last time I met her. She gave me a pair of diamond earrings which belong to my mother. My mom used to wear these earrings when she was a spinster.

I miss her so much.

Three nights back, just about the time when she was struggling for her life in the hospital, I dreamed about her. It was a terrible dream. No one was happy. I was crying. My mom lay dead. My grand mom was consoling me and was asking me to be happy. Maybe it was her way of telling me that she’ll leave me soon.

I wish I could hug her one more time, just like I had hugged her last August 2007. I’ll always miss her. She was my favorite grand parent.

Fruit 'n' veg power: How I charged my iPod using an onion soaked in Lucozade

chupchap:


A student claimed he can turn vegetables soaked in Lucozade into a homemade battery and recharge his iPod. Could that really be true? We put his bizarre claims to the test… with amazing…

Interesting find!
