This is one of those “lethargic moments” in blogging that makes you want to stop blogging altogether. I don’t (at least for now). But if there is anything to help me, it’s Lifehacker to the rescue. (For those uninitiated, Lifehacker is a blog for geeks on how to “hack Life”, or making one’s life more pleasurable.)
Back to the topic.
One of the reasons why I never bothered to update my blog is because of the Odex saga. Now, it’s not about how to beat a dead horse; I’m going the Mythbuster/Brainiac method of ending this saga (if you bothered watching any of these). Recently I’ve been kept in contact with one of the Odex’ed member, who I kept in touch with since the muddied genesis of the whole saga. He’s been involved in getting the rest of fellow Odex’ed people to gather up to discuss on ways to launch an anti-Odex countersuit. The odds are marginable: a 50-50 take, so I claimed. He said that a few people whom he had contacted with, have pretty solid evidence of wrongful indictment for copyright infringement, so that increases the odds to their favour. All said and done, I’ll be looking forward to news in this frontline. In another unrelated topic, Blu-Ray WINS. The physical format wars are over, and now Sony should really focus on the next not-so-new threat: online distribution. My take is, Blu-Ray will have their own market audience, just as how online distribution will have theirs. All the talk of “online distro” taking over Blu-Ray is infantilic, least to say. In the local front, I have only a rough idea on what’s happening on the local political blogging scene. Apparently The Online Citizen, a blog that writes about the political situation in Singapore, has a few editors who are working for the PAP in their time. TOC proclaims to be a non-partisan, non-biased website that offers views that do not pander on both PAP and the opposition side. The anger seemed to target on the failed PR attempt at those editors trying to cover their true nature, which basically feels like T.T. Durai 101. (See this blog-portal about the chain of events in the TOC saga.) I don’t really bothered much about local politics. I’m an Ali Al-Saachez, self-reliant and independent of others’ roles and responsibilities. International politics: Kosovo declares independence, Castro decides to call it a day, and Pervez Musharraf has been given a resounding “NO” by the Pakistanis (whatever the numbers that bothered to turn out to vote).
