Bok's Calamity

In case you haven’t noticed, Bingyuan has just put back all the ‘censored stuff back on to his blog. That’s supposed to be good news unless he accidentally revealed them and would be switched the posts back to hidden mode. I really thought he was afraid that his form teacher or whatever would go to his blog and realised how critical and lame he is. Well, it appears that he have had his fears removed. Or perhaps it is because he has no wonderful content to show lately so he decided that the ‘censored’ stuff aren’t really that censor-deserving after all.

It appears that people are now discussing a great deal of stuff on blogging stuff that may be ‘dangerous’ due to political or defaming nature. Well, I thought this is pretty lame because I believe in the Internet, there is no way of control. When a site goes down, another one comes on again. Most importantly, you are not able to punish certain people who may have been blogging somewhere else in another nation where certain laws probably doesn’t apply. The deterence isn’t going to work.

As for non-political or defaming stuff, they are starting to get a little bored. Terry seems to be running out of ideas, especially when he is the type of blogger, who does it everyday unless he has no access to a computer. This is probably a down time for him and other of those bloggers. I probably should switch off my system too.

Crocodile’s Eyes

For those who are observant enough, you would realise at once that I have changed the Propagator’s Croc a little, adding ‘eyes’ to make it look a little friendlier. I started off with this idea of making an proper avatar for myself in different places. Unfortunately, I have my identity hidden for certain places and not for certain websites. So I decided that the avatar will solely be for my participation in more crappy, techie websites. Here it is, the 50px by 50px version of it:

The first look of it give me an impression that it is a sign warning children to have parent guidance when viewing anything that is posted by me. Originally, I was using the old unfriendly croc’s eye and it looked really evil. Hence, I decided to amend a little to appeal to children. Unfortunately, I couldn’t change the letters ‘P’ and ‘G’. They were in caps at first but I quickly change them to small letters. I guess you guys should know why.

The ‘croc’ looks as though it portrays the parents eyes looking at everyone – especially for the children; with the purpose to instil fear in them and deter them from doing wrong things. To a large extent, the avatar seem to work well with such a feature to scare children. The things I write is not immoral, not as evil and extreme as what Mib normally writes about, but they are usually not suitable for children since it has a high tendency of distorting their perception about the world – I don’t want to make them unhappy.

The background is not black. It is a dark shade of brown that is blend with a light gray. It does look simple here but it is supposed to achieve the effect of a warm feeling despite the color being a dark one. It blends in better with the green of the crocodile and the orange text, making it the perfect background for the avatar. The orange text, of course, is to mix with the green to achieve the similar effect that my website’s design is built upon.

That’s the problem when you have a strange logo coupled with a dubious name; you produce an avatar that makes no sense or connection to your original idea. I guess you guys would soon see this avatar appearing on certain forums or communities, that’s me – unless one of you decides to pass off as me and kope this avatar. Sometimes, you may see this avatar appearing but the name isn’t ‘Vib’. It probably isn’t me, though I didn’t really fully adopt the screen name, ‘Vib’ yet. I have so many other accounts that uses purely my own name. I guess it will take another year or 2 before I use it for everything I register.

Mac OS X Tiger

Finally unleashed, yesterday, when I was still stoning in school after a receiving a stream of terrible grades for tests this term. It is extremely cool and is probably considered the best operating system of current times, given the slow development of operating system that arise after Window XP got attacked violently in the past 2 years. Check it out!

If you are considering getting yourself a laptop or a perfect personal desktop, get a Mac quickly. First, it is cheaper than Dell given the performance and stability of Mac. Second, it looks better than any Windows Machine. Third, Mib haven’t got a Mac yet! Get one before he does.

Inactivity

Please pardon the inactivity on this site. It is due to a combination of my slacking and mugging, which will end around week 7 in this term. Meanwhile, people should visit thePropagandaMachine. For some anti-Jap stuff or more political nonsense. It appears that erpz.net is far from being politics-free because of the mindsets of the owner(s).

By the way, a new homepage will be designed for erpz.net soon. I thought it would be best if we incorporate a geeklog there and put more political stuff. Wonder if Mib would agree. Anyway, he has also set up a rather lame gallery, an idea which I conceived previously but had no time to realise. I would say, good job, Mib. But it wasn’t really what I had in mind.

新天地

此’日记’已改名为”广播者”以配合昊旻兄的”广播机”。当然,”广播者”会继续以华文在政治及文学领域上发表批评与意见。这一次,我还特别开了”书法论”Category与大家谈论书法,或是美术。

Hello World!

I finally got my blog up, with a new name, ‘Propagator’. The old blog is kind of lame and anyway, I can’t get the savaged posts back on this blog, so I am ‘renewing’ my ideas. This new blog, as you can see from its title, would be more political, and critical of the events. Days of ranting about one’s life is over.

There will be topics or issues ranging from politics to literary stuff discussed or mentioned here. Of course, not forgetting politics. Well, if you think the stuff here are too serious and you need a bit of relaxation, do go to Interesting Stuff. You will have great fun there.

I have copied the 2 most recent post from my old blog to fill up the space here because I have nothing much to say currently.
