Gazing at the clock on the system’s tray, the last digit involuntarily paced to the number eight, while the number three and one preceded it in that order. Remaining static next to it as of now is the abbreviation AM. So what do we get here? Three eighth teen after midnight and blame it on the body clock but not insomnia for heaven’s sake. Go ahead and smile if you’re as crazy as I am or if you find this amusing. Leave as you wish, I bid you farewell and here’s a cookie.
Way before that, the entire process was decelerated by the fact that the Avira antivirus software was running a thorough scan in the background. It felt sluggish as I was having a tough time typing the first sentence in this post and waiting for it to appear complete with the first character converted to uppercase as I hit the spacebar going on with the next word. All this while I was using Avast but somehow something has influenced me today to go ahead and give Avira a shot. At least this spares me some experience.
It all began with my brother who wanted me to put some stuff into his new laptop, in another word for the computer brain, install some applications. My brother in law suggested Avira and so I downloaded the free version and have it installed on my brother’s laptop and later on my system. Along the way, I searched on the Internet for reviews on the top five free antivirus software and it seemed that AVG was the choice of many, not until I came to a review made by PC World. The former reviews were somewhat too general and lacking of the tech geek feel to it. Not implying that PC World was the other way round but the detailed review was excellent and it got me interested.
Long story short, it’s about time for me to go on and forget about Avast’s mp3 player interface. Yes, it was confusing the first time I use it so stop the music and let’s get on with something else shall we? For a moment, I thought it was somewhat creative to have a music player’s interface for antivirus software but apparently, simplicity went the wrong way here. The need for simplicity, ease of use and efficiency rang a louder bell than Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls”. I know it doesn’t make any sense but you get what I mean.
As of now, the entire virus scan is still progressing at about twenty-one percent; you can imagine the junk that I have loafing in my hard drive. “Hey how’s it going? Running a little slow on that bus huh? You want a pimped ride with NOS let us know yeah?” I could imagine those files laughing at the scanner. Madness aside, I found a post about how to get rid of the annoying pop-up ads since it’s a free version. Not sure if it works for me since I haven’t rebooted my computer for the settings to work. Time will tell, but if you’re interested and of course if you’re using Avira too, head on here to check it out.
All right, it’s four in the morning now. Luke Filewalker, you seriously need more than just a futuristic space ship and a light saber!
I remembered the first time I encountered Twitter. Initially, I have no clue of what Twitter was and by looking at its logo and name; it would seemed like a little bird that tweets. The concept is like a bird that goes from one flock to another, as it tweets, talking or communicating in its language to other birds. On Twitter, one needs to “follow” another person in order to “tune in” or to receive that person’s tweets (message). Each tweet is typically short, at about 140 characters or so. 
On the other hand, unbelievably I actually read Harry Potter's e-book, "Deathly Hallows". I figured that it will take a while for the movie producers to film the last two sequels for the series. In the beginning suffice to say that I'm not that much of a Harry Potter fan but the compelling storyline about magic has somehow gotten me. In addition, as for the film score, John William's work on the first two or three series were superb. No wonder I felt the sudden turn when the fourth series onwards were unexpectedly morphed into the dark side, as clearly made audible by their film scores and somewhat visible by movie plots. Reading the book is the only way for the mysteries to unfold unless the last two films have something else to offer. We'll just wait and see then.
So, another chain mail arrived at the door of my inbox. In the subject it says "Please read this coz it's real!". Okay, so what is "coz"? Your cousin? My cousin? Is it a mathematical trigonometry - cosines? Let me try to rephrase that. "Please read this cousin it's real" or "Please read this cosines it's real". Haha. That'd be funny. I'm just being silly. I know it means "because". Sometimes shortcuts make people lazy and could be misinterpreted don't you think so?
