END OF AN ERA...

I'm a little peeved this morning. I checked my email to learn that the comment handler I've been using since I started this blog MANY years ago, "Haloscan", is pulling their free handling option and forcing users to choose a new paid option or be "s.o.l.". They cite an aging method with Haloscan, and the inability to continue supporting it, as their reason for making this move. Translation: "We've made a new style of comment handling that we don't want to offer for free, and we don't want to bother providing service for our current free handler... why? because we're giant d-bags."

It wouldn't bother me as much if it weren't for the fact that the comment format they use is incompatible with other handlers' methods. I've exported my comments, but now they're stuck in xml format that apparently can be manually altered to work with other handlers but is very time consuming. Thus my old comments will forever be stored in this xml database, collecting cyber-dust for all of eternity... so to speak. The other bothersome part is that I loved Haloscan's customization options, something that very few comment handlers provide, and all of the new handlers are sporting this new google wave-esque style of commenting that just does suit my purposes at all.

Anyways, that's my rant. It's not as though I'm a constant blogger anymore, but it's still frustrating. That is all.

IPHONE WALLPAPER EXPERIMENT...

I'm heading to the F1 races in Montreal this summer, and I've created these snazzy wallpapers for my iPhone to commemorate the event. The only difference is the font colour. Anywho... that's all. Peace.

YEAH, ABOUT BLOGGING...

Soooooo... long time no blog. The truth is that in today's social networking age, there are simply so many other ways to vent ones inner thoughts. Mediums like facebook and twitter offer a quick outlet that sometimes makes posting a blog seem tedious and long-winded. That being said, I still consider my blog to be the best way to share more in-depth of what's on my mind. Really isn't much though, is there, lol.
