Good night all, time for me to get my 4 hours of sleep. Mmm... Funan centre :) Cheers

Okay I'm really off to bed everyone! 04:31, I have to be up in 3 hours, 29 minutes. Damn you internet and your addictiveness!
on Jaiku

Dad's conference call is taking longer than we thought it would. Do Swiss and Japanese people like talking a lot? :)
on Jaiku

And I'm compiling Xfce from the ports collection instead of using pkg_add to optimise it. It's a 1.3GHz box, so should be done in a week :D
on Jaiku

Nah but given the fact we only hae 140 characters on here, I think smilies are really useful for conveying emotion in a small space :-)

In honour of yesterday, my dad and I are off to Muddy Murphey's Irish Pub for a Guinness :D
on Jaiku

St Pats is over, what a shame! Anyway my dad and I are heading back home now, both have to get up early tomorrow!
on Jaiku

Got back from muddies. I really don't like drinking too much (am I the only 21 year old who doesnt?) but I'm still bit tipsy. Off to bed!
on Jaiku

I keep trying Gnome, but then I keep going back to KDE. It's just so pretty, and so much more cohesive. :-)
on Jaiku

My new FreeBSD machine with KDEbase has 4GB of RAM right now. With Konqueror 10+ tabs open, Konsole 8+ tabs, using 12% of the RAM :)
on Jaiku

People say KDE is bloated and wastes RAM and disk space. I think people forget about how bloated Windows XP and Vista really are!
on Jaiku

Compiling KDE from the FreeBSD ports instead of using pkg_add on a Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz machine... no "noticable" performace difference!
on Jaiku

But it always feels better rolling your own software right?
on Jaiku

Hey! I've posted over 6000 tweets! 6000! Either I post too much, have no life or don't post anything of value. Or all of the above!
on Jaiku

Well if @include is off to get lunch, I'm off to get dinner! Cheers everyone

Just listened to Jimbob do his LIVE Whole Wheat Radio Rant in the morning in Alaska http://wholewheatradio.org
on Jaiku

It's funny how late morning in Alasaka is EARLY morning in Singapore... but it's still morning, just the next day!
on Jaiku

Holy crap it's 4am, I'd better get to bed already. I can hear my beautiful late mum saying: "Ruben, you're an idiot!"
on Jaiku

I'm still up at 04:29 because I had a horrific nightmare about my mum dying again. Was comforting to hear a familiar voice
on Jaiku

From Truemors: "Believing in God Makes You Happier!" along with my rebuttal as an "unhappy" atheist ;-) http://tinyurl.com/2mxgzl

If TwitterFeed konks out again here's my new weblog link: //rubenerd.comshow.com/blog/?p=1078. Scary stuff, I'm off for coffee :)
on Jaiku

I accidently ordered a "non fat" mocha latte for a change from Americanos, it's really really tasty! Here I was thinking kikojoules = tasty!
on Jaiku

*That should read kilojoules, not kikojoules. Kikijoules sounds like a kinky Japanese piece of jewelry.
on Jaiku

Hehe, there are now three of us sharing the one table at Starbucks. They really should have powerpoints at every table :D
on Jaiku

I'm really loving having 2 batteries though for my BacPook Mro, It's so convenient :)
on Jaiku

Haha okay TwitterFeed was able to post that latest entry after all. Last time it posted 2 days late, so just double checking :)
on Jaiku

I designated this afternoon to finishing a lot of half written blog posts and recording a Rubenerd Show. Half way through :)
on Jaiku

Adobe to put Flash on the iPhone? Yuk! http://tinyurl.com/2vk66e

Esther Golton just arrived at home at Whole Wheat Radio, they're broadcasting live (10PM Alaska, 2PM Singapore) http://wholewheatradio.org
on Jaiku

Damn it, the wireless just went down again. Ethernet is so much more reliable :)
on Jaiku

14:30 (2:30pm) here in Singapore, off for some lunch
on Jaiku

Other than followers, what is the point of the "green team" and "blue team" whatnot? I was expecting some useful grassroots thing!
on Jaiku

Rubenerd Blog: Welcome home Esther! http://tinyurl.com/39eg32

I've thrown a spanner in the works and joined the @VeryGreenTeam & @BlueTeam, they're equally my favourite colours :)
on Jaiku

If you don't know what's going on, check out @ColorWars. It's so ridiculously pointless it's fun... even if they spelled "color" wrong ;-)
on Jaiku

Trying to set up OpenDNS. I figure if I need to write a report on it, I might as well be using it right?
on Jaiku

Bloglines Beta is pretty slick. http://beta.bloglines.com/
on Jaiku

I think I'll stick to Google Reader though. Having it tied in to Google Calendar and Gmail is a lifesaver.
on Jaiku

Insane headache, I'm off to bed. Chao
on Jaiku

Okay I have 3 hours to finish this project. No break even on Easter! Guess it's punishment I deserve for being an Atheist right? :)
on Jaiku

Thank goodness for two little words: "make deinstall" :)
on Jaiku

Just added @danslatts. Good to have another person in a similar timezone! And you got a MBP, sweet :)
on Jaiku

Argh, Flock still isn't a Cocoa app for Mac, and their FreeBSD port is broken! Damn it and I was all interested and ready to go too!
on Jaiku

Hehe, my post about The Renovators is on the Whole Wheat RSS page :) http://www.wholewheatradio.org/wiki/index.php/RSS
on Jaiku

Installed the GNOME base system so I can use some GNOME GTK+ apps in myKDE FreeBSD machine. pkg_info | grep mono returns nothing :D
on Jaiku

Off to get a midnight snack to shake off the HaveToDoUniWorkOverEaster blues. Wait I like the blues. But saying "rap" wouldnt make sense.
on Jaiku

Just got back from a brief evening walk after doing all this programming, brain is 99% fried! Off to bed.
on Jaiku

Damn I had a bad night last night, all day today I've been walking around in a daze. Day... daze... Haagen Dazs... mmm, Häagen-Dazs...
on Jaiku

Ella Fitzgerald just started playing in Amarok... very nice :)
on Jaiku

Cadbury chocolate is the best chocolate, let us all just admit this!! :D
on Jaiku

I should be off to bed soon. Should being the operative word.
on Jaiku

Off to make some nice hot porridge with brown sugar to wake me up. Funny how I'm always freezing when I wake up, even if it's 28 degress!
on Jaiku

Wait, it's only 23 outside right now (73.4 F), that's okay.
on Jaiku

Oh wow I'm tired. The human body was not meant to get up this early!
on Jaiku

Getting ready to listen to Ed Craver live! http://wholewheatradio.org/
on Jaiku

Just arrived back home, tired out. Night all :-)
on Jaiku

I just want to be in my room, left alone, by myself for pete's sake. Sister and father are completely ignorant as to what it's like.
on Jaiku

Byes everyone.
on Jaiku

At least admit that you have no damned idea! Does he have a medical degree? Is he BP himself? NO! Geeeeeez.
on Jaiku

Just got back, enjoyed myself no end. Don't you hate it when you parent's were right?
on Jaiku

Can anyone else get to http://RubenerdShow.com or http://RubenerdShow.com/blog/? It's not working on this end
on Jaiku

Wait, RubenerdShow.com and RubenerdShow.com/blog are back online I think!
on Jaiku

Okay I've decided. THERE WILL BE A RUBENERD SHOW AGAIN BEFORE THIS WEEK IS OVER. Studies, work and mood be damned!
on Jaiku

Wait a minute, a BSD human? That doesn't sound too good! :P :D
on Jaiku

Chilling with some Wet Wet Wet on amaroK :)
on Jaiku

I still get a kick out of saying that I use Kate for programming!
on Jaiku

WOW, I have 6 comments there! Thank you everyone! I have a project due about this subject, and this will make it MUCH easier! :D ^_^
on Jaiku

I've posted a response to the Podcasting naming issue: http://tinyurl.com/33qq4y Answered everyone :)
on Jaiku

Finally got the assignment in a-okay. Now it's 04:38 and time for sleep, night all :)
on Jaiku

Just returned the follow form @jrande, always great to see more Twitterinos in Singapore! ^_^
on Jaiku

Not sure hat I like WordPress
on Jaiku

Not sure that I like the WordPress 2.5 new admin user interface. Feels like they made it different just to be different.
on Jaiku

The older WordPress admin panel wasn't as pretty, but it was laid out much, much better IMHO.
on Jaiku

Plus the tagging feature is a giant step backwards, and doesn't work in Konqueror :(
on Jaiku

Plus the tagging bar isn't as easy to use as the simple text box it had before, and it doesn't work right in Konqueror
on Jaiku

Just upgraded all 4 blogs over to WordPress 2.5. Provided I get my Ruby SQlite site up and running soon, might be my last WP upgrade!
on Jaiku

Well I'd better get to bed, past 3am already. Cheers everyone :)
on Jaiku

10 million Wikipedia articles! Yay! http://rubyurl.com/PL0I

Dont you love it when all of us are on Twitter at the same time, having disjointed conversations about random things? Isn't it great? :D
on Jaiku

Just resiprocated the add from @theinternets. He's downloading the internets.
on Jaiku

On that note I'm going to try this sleep thing again. See you all all later :)
on Jaiku

Off to the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at Bishan. Mmm, waffles :)
