You know what’s interesting? Tethered internet. Here’s a long story to read if you have nothing better to do.

Okay okay, I’ll start using Ruby again!

With this huge move and all the unexpected problems we’ve had, I’ve had very little time these last couple of months to do much programming… or blogging! I can’t wait, I’m posting this from my phone.

Status update and all that

Hi everyone,

We’ll have internet at our new address by early September. Until then, these people write more interesting blogs anyway.

Peace, health, happiness and all that,
Ruben

A Sunday post: Hotlinking Ron Guenther

I get some inbound links from the most unlikely of places. This time it’s from a blog called Fire Ron Guenther which appears to be about one Illinois resident’s desire to end the employment of someone called Ron Guenther.

Rubénerd Fun Fact #96 and #97: Santana

Santana

#96: When I was a kid, I called him Carlos Sultana.

#97: My parents never used to correct me when I called him Carlos Sultana. Apparently they found it amusing.

Awesome photo courtesy of Paul Reed Smith Guitars. And for once, a Fun Fact here is true. Well, not to suggest I was full of crap when I wrote the others. For one, I type them. Gracias.

[Anime] Does [K-On] really warrant 3 seasons?

I’ll give Brad Rice of Japanator a Steve Jobs answer: yup. Honestly, for its intended purpose/audience its an awesome series. It’s like the Seinfeld of anime. And wait for it, the best part is: you don’t have to watch it if you don’t like it!.

Oh and Yui, it’s three, not two ;).

UPDATE: It seems someone on that story already commented about Seinfeld and K-On being about nothing. And here I was thinking I was being so original. Obviously just had a Yui moment! Hah I kid Yui, you’re awesome ^_____^;

Bad New Zealand food puns

Would that be beef wellington? I suppose if it’s in New Zealand it must be a mutton wellington right? Tee and as well as that hee!

In all seriousness though, I’d love to visit Wellington. I’ve been to Auckland for an afternoon (long story) but that’s it. Maybe it’s just because I’m hungry.

Fricken packing and fricken word hecks

Icon from the Tango Desktop project

My old man told us the packers would be here today. They arrived yesterday. D’oh! This is our seventh massive family move thing. I love travelling and living in many different places, but packing sucks. Fortunately we’ve got rid of so much stuff, this is the first time we have less stuff than what we had before. It’s also our first family move since mummy passed on, which has been really fricken hard. I found it harder going through her stuff now than I did when we were choosing clothes for her funeral, which makes no fricken sense.

That has to be the most fractured paragraph I’ve ever written here. My writing sucks, but that was even worse than usual. Fricken is such a fricken awesome word. Fricken heck.

An Irish sandwich refuge in Singapore

Singapore’s getting quite a lashing this morning, so my dad and I have camped out at the O’Brien’s sandwich bar at Jelita. Back when my school had its campus at Ulu Pandan, I’d go to Jelita all the time for Pizza Hut. Now it’s an Irish sandwich shop, go figure :)

UPDATE: Typical, I hit the Draft button instead of Publish, again! The timestamp for the photo was around 10am today.
