In my last post, I left you at the end, saying that I’ll try using 1-Click. Well, in short, it didn’t work. Well, so much for brash consumer confidence and irrational exuberance. Oh well, too bad for them then. Won’t see a penny (or 89 pennies) of my hard-earned money then. Also, there’s always BitTorrent, so no love lost here.
Do you hear that, RIM? Instead of going after people pirating your crap, why don’t you concentrate on what’s important, giving the consumer what they want. I don’t want RM50 albums filled with only one or two songs that I want to listen and the rest padded with disposable filler crap. I want RM0.99 MP3 downloads. Give me that and you might see a slight pick-up in sales. I mean, come on, who still listens to CD?
Engadget, Gizmodo and Lifehacker simultaneously posted the following interesting tidbit, Amazon launching its new DRM-free MP3 store. So, in the interest of scientific discovery, I shall show support for the greedy recording companies hardworking artists and attempt to purchase a track or two from Amazon’s MP3 store.

WordPress just released version 2.3 of their popular blogging application and me, being the upgrade junkie that I am, will be riding the wave of early adopters. So, in preparation to upgrade, please expect some downtime between posts as I backup my current WP database and files. Please come back later if you are getting 404’s, thanks. Wish me luck!
A friend of mine recently drew me this on social-networking site Facebook, using an app called Grafitti. With it, you can doodle or even create minor works of art such as shown below. Go check it out if you have the time. Facebook can be pretty addictive, so if you don’t have the time nor the self-control, don’t even think about it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
At the moment, reCAPTCHA isn’t working properly for me. Is it working for you? Anyway, as a contingency, I’m disabling the captcha plugin for the time being. So that means that I will hold your comments for moderation, so expect a delay of up to 48 hours (24 normally) for your comments to show. Sorry, it’s either this or you lose your comments.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Edit: It’s all good now. A big thanks to Ben, from reCAPTCHA, who got in touch with me regarding this issue.
