Something I learned today

Okay, so I wasn’t too upset when our company started to block websites. It’s normal to block MySpace, Facebook, Friendster and other social networking sites, but yesterday, I tried to check out the class schedule for NYSC (my gym), but instead I saw this ugly blue “BLOCKED” page. Also, it said category “Health”. Apparently people at the big company who bought us don’t want us to be healthy! Today, I was able to access Banana Republic, but when I tried to check my website e-mail, I was greeted by the ugly blocked page once again. Apparently my site is listed under the category “Games”, which it is not! So weird! I believe employees spend more time trying to find a site that isn’t banned, so doesn’t that make them less productive?

Apparently we are almost using up all our bandwidth, so this is probably the main reason why they are blocking a lot of websites. I hope they never block GMail. I’ll be so upset if they do. What would I do all day? ( Hopefully they will let us have our websites back soon.

In other exciting news, it snowed for exactly 5 minutes in NYC today. It was pretty exciting. I actually thought I’d go through a winter without seeing any snow. The big topic of discussion on the tech sites today was the iPhone. What are your thoughts about it? I’d like to see it up close and personal. I have no desire to have such an expensive phone. I’d be afraid it’d get stolen or I’d drop it like my w600i. It looks a little too complicated for me. I just wonder how many people will actually shell out $400 or $500 for it! We’ll find out soon. Apple is too expensive for me. I’m happy with my iPod and Macbook. )

2007

…doesn’t feel very different than 2006.

My family (minus older sister) dined at fancy Morton’s on New Year’s Eve. The meal was delicious. I enjoyed my Porterhouse steak and Morton’s famous Hot Chocolate Cake.

Here’s a picture I took on my new Sony W810! I love how my laptop and phone both have bluetooth. It’s fantastic!

I better go to bed. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. I am so glad that it’s almost Friday. I totally need a weekend. )

Comments should work now!

It was brought to my attention that my two commenters (Jeff and Alexis) were being blocked by my site! Anyhow, I installed a pretty Captcha plugiin. Please let me know if it works! I tested it with a bunch of bogus e-mail addresses and it seems to work. Yay. I also found out there is a new Tiger Administration plugin that’s compatible with WP 2.0+. How lovely. It makes your admin page look really nice.

I finally had KFC. I’ve been “craving” it for months. This is the first time in 3 years. Wow!
