Blog vs blob?
Wednesday, June 15th, 2005Blog?
When I first encountered this word.. I can’t help but wonder.. oh my dear.. what is blog? why is it so popular nowadays and why people so enthusiastic to create it? (read in newspaper that this is the in-est thing to do now.. ) Me computer freaked mind can’t help but linking it to Oracle datatype blob = binary data up to 4 gigabytes… haha… can’t help.. really… or maybe frog… since they are rhymthic…>__+
Being a computing lecturer now is a real torture to me as I would need to do a lot of self study before I can lecture my students.. now i really want to tell you all that.. never ever make any vows.. "I will not have boyfriend shorter than me".. " I will not go to this place anymore…" and so on… for myself I have made 3 vows in my life…
(1) never ever touch Oracle anymore!
Made this right after my final project in Oracle database in Uni-time.
Eventually, I am now stuck with Oracle for my first and second job.. and this third job as well!
(2) never ever wanna teach
it is actually for the goodness sake of the youngsters… as I afraid I would accidentally snap their fragile neck when I get too frusted in explaining complex theory. Thank God I still haven’t and .. oo.. touch wood…
(3) never ever wanna learn hokkien
and guess what… I spent almost 4 yrs in Penang… trying so hard to pick up this language so alien to me.. and now having a boyfriend from Bukit Mertajam… guess I cannot run away from it.. started to blame me mum for not having me ‘educated’ with this ‘essential language’ while I was kid.
Morale of the story… whenever you make vows… you are actually in the process of breaking it.
I have a girl friend vowed that she will never get a boyfriend younger than her.. and you guess…
