The Sis Strikes Back ^^

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Hello… the sis is back again.. following the comments that my post has received, i think i would like to explain and clarify about the relationship of hendri and me, nicole.

First I wuld like to clarify that hendri and I are simply close buddies and not as a bf/gf kinda thingy some might be thinking. *apologies for being a bit direct here* Just wanna set the record striaght ^^

I guess u readers must be wondering how we met… well… we first met at the siggraph electronic theatre screening meant for SADM pple. and our paths did not cross till the preparation of the computer lab that was to be used the adobe photoshop course during the recess break.

We hit it off pretty well during the course, and we got closer as time flies through mugging sessions… as well as meeting up to polish our skills on the usage of cinema4d software. There we discovered that we have many things in common to chat about under the sun~!! We sort of communicate too well.. as though our minds are linked by telepathy cos, we can simply read each others thoughts even before saying it out… lolx.. strange, weird, wat ever it is.. its TRUE. *i am totally amazed and freaked out by it at the same time though*

we often joked abt it, and were spectaculating that we might have known each other in our past lives, or we are just long lost twins… Our birthdays are separated by a cool 5 mths… haha… since then.. I became sort of a “Sister ” to hendri.. and he as a Brother to me. “The Sis” came abt so as not to confuse with his own sister. it sort of sound nice too ^^

I hope this clarifies and squash all that nitty gritty bugs that ur mind might churn out… ^^ till the Sis blogs again.. take care…

Flock Blog Test

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Hello everyone! This post entry has been typed using Flock. It’s one of the newest browsers out there, which apparently has a very good integration with blogs. At the moment it supports Movable Type, Blogger, TypePad, and WordPress. It has its own blog editor, which you can integrate with your blog.

There’s a cool thing called The Shelf, which you can fill with interesting contents from the Internet by dragging them from a browser window. You can then simply drag it to the blog editor to blog about it later. Proper blockquoting and citation will be provided automatically. In fact, I’m about to demonstrate it here:

The Shelf

The Shelf is a scrapbook for interesting web content that you want to blog about later.

Flock

Nice.

Flock can also integrate with del.icio.us to facilitate bookmarks sharing. The concept of bookmarks in Flock is slightly different. Instead of bookmarking, pages can be starred, pretty much like starring emails in Gmail.

Well, OK, I think I should stop now. I have to finish up my EE8084 Cyber Security assignment before starting to mug. Finally I have the time to mug for exams! Whee…

Flocker and mugger,
bcc

PS: My complaint, though, is that the citation formed by dragging items from The Shelf does not conform with XHTML 1.0 Transitional standards. There might be a way to fix it, but I’ll keep it for later.

PPS: On hindsight, I have another complaint: there’s no HTML editing tool for the blog editor. Either that or I haven’t found one easily yet.

PPPS: On third thought, apparently Flock also breaks my template. I have to fix the entry manually to get it working well with the template. So I might not be using it after all. Not at the moment anyway.

Guest Blogging

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

Greetings everyone! It’s now back to bcc again here. Some of you might be wondering why the heck my previous post doesn’t sound like me at all. Well, that’s because it really wasn’t me!

Gasp! Your blog was hacked?

Well, no. It was the actual The Sis who posted the entry. In case you haven’t noticed, under the title of each entry there’s now a short information on who posted that particular entry. So in my case, it would be “Posted by Hendri Budi”. But when it’s The Sis who posts the entry, it would be “Posted by The Sis”.

So what’s this all about? How come The Sis posts in my blog?

Well, we’re exploring this concept where we cross-post in each other’s blogs. So from time to time, The Sis would be posting an entry in my blog, and I would be doing the same in hers.

But what’s the point?

Well, it’s like putting up a notice on another person’s notice board. Sometimes posting in another person’s blog is like putting yourself in the other person’s shoes; sometimes you have to think in that person’s perspective, otherwise your post will look very out of place. It can also give some spice to what we talk about in our blogs.

At the very least, we will be able to post an entry or two and fill up the gap in case the other is busy and has no time with his or her blog.

The concept seems to be fun to carry out. Whether it will work out, we’ll see after some time.

So… yeah. That’s a short introduction of our guest blogger. Please welcome her here. Must treat her well, don’t be mean, ok? Otherwise her Bro won’t be very happy. And that’s not good. Not good at all. (6)

The Bro,
bcc
