For Better Or For Worse: No More!

I remember sorta liking it once upon a time so when I started subscribing to my comics I added it to the list.
But, now, if I can remember how to unsubscribe, I think I will take it off my list.

As my sister says, disagreeing on choosing a guy is not a problem. But having faulty logic and stupid statements and more specifically, “changing reality” is unpardonable.

She abandoned Paul.
*sigh*

Maybe she should cheat on him and then she’d be a perfect bad person too.

idiot grading story

You know you’re either sick, too sleepy or burnt out if with every other script you take up to mark, you look at the open one and go…”hmm, I marked it already? hmm, this handwriting looks a lot like mine!”

/me is idiot

a desk *might* help to keep the solutions separate from the students’ script…but i *doubt*

Webcomics!

This week at work, I was randomly browsing and searching stuff and discovered that…ELF ONLY INN IS BACK!

It’s been back since September…over two-year hiatus and I used to check oh so regularly, every two months or so….and the one time I stop checking (well it’s been a hectic term, you know), it comes back and *now* I have to get up-to-date.

:-)

And I followed a link and found another comic!

LEGOSTAR GALACTICA!!!

I quite like it!
Also, it started in August 2002 and I have reached, as of now, while grading (it’s helped keep me awake November 2004). Poor me! :)

He must have loads of legos!

Help me to take a picture!

Just so you know this camera craving doesn’t count under the new resolution to donate instead of buying. I might need a new camera see.

Okay, links to look at sometime soon…

Digital Camera HELP!

First, to mail my Canon PowerShot S400 to Canon in the USA for roughly TT$100 to TT$200 (about US$15 to US$30) for them to check if it’s problems are due to this defect (CCD Image Sensory Defect) and if it is, they’ll fix it. If not, they’ll ask me if I’m willing to pay for it to be fixed. When done, they’ll mail it somewhere in the US.

Well if they’re fixing it for free yay!
If not, should I let them fix it …well I guess it depends on how much it costs. I spent say US$350 or thereabouts on my camera in December 2003. How much would one be willing to spend to fix it.

Well, when it gets mailed to somewhere in the USA, I will eventually get it somehow.
If only I could get it to the USA then I could mail it to Canon for free. Oh well.

On to other things…replacing? should i? would you?
Man, it seems hard to replace a Canon S400. You read all the reviews of other cameras and it seems like just more pixels. It shouldn’t just be about more megapixels.
Oh well considerations:

  • Canon PowerShot A640
  • Canon PowerShot A710
  • Canon PowerShot SD800 (because for some reason people prefer this to the SD900 even tho it’s got MEGAPIXELS) or maybe the SD700
  • Canon PowerShot S3 IS
  • Canon PowerShot G7 (which doesn’t seem to compare to the G6 in some people’s minds).
  • Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W100

There are many reviews in many places.
dpreview.com side-by-side comparison
Who knows.
Maybe it’ll be fixable and I won’t want to buy a new one.
