Please visit mind-Dumpster v2.0 beta, at http://erdina.posterous.com. Better than fERDI's mind-Dumpster v0.6 beta. And faster too :D You can begin at the first entry here. ferdikom98 2008-11-16T14:05:56Z 2008-11-16T14:05:56Z tag:blogdrive.com,2004:fe0349a4a01f4810415ff44d1f50ed41.355 Work Life Balanceby martonhouse I wholeheartedly agree; we do not want our work to be the only thing that our life is about. Just like Ikari Sinji, in discovering that there is life for him beyond being an Eva pilot, rejects Instrumentality and saves the world, or at least what's left of it.

[Consider that the supervisor "promises" to give said janitor a raise in two months. Along with some (unspecified) amount of bonus] ferdikom98 2008-06-01T20:38:22Z 2008-06-01T20:38:22Z tag:blogdrive.com,2004:fe0349a4a01f4810415ff44d1f50ed41.353 celebrating six-or-so months of not blogging...

Our lives are but a mere blink in the eye of eternity. Grieve not for our lost ones. Cherish their memory. And ultimately, remember that our own moment is yet to come. I pray we all use our brief time on earth wisely. Live, my friends. Live. --- in simpathy to Echie and Monique and their families ferdikom98 2007-11-28T04:02:02Z 2007-11-28T04:02:02Z tag:blogdrive.com,2004:fe0349a4a01f4810415ff44d1f50ed41.351 So like I'm a subscriber to a mailing list organised by the Creative Commons, named CC-Lessigletter, a mailing list which is usually active during their annual fund drives (the fund drive is a requirement from the United States' IRS to show that the 501(c) Non-Profit organisation has "popular support"). And the fun thing about this mailing list is how it promotes the Creative Commons cause; not by making 'sales pitches' urging 'participation' for the 'public good' (particularly your 'monetary participation). No, they definitely do not shill; in stead they tell war stories, positive stories...

Enjoy. I saw an ad for ITKP today. I've 'competed' with them in the past. The ad was in Kompas. I had participated twice in InterAD. When I first saw the ad the first thing I did was ask my brother, who was sitting at our dinner table having breakfast, "Is she interested at all," she being my younger sister, whom had just graduated high-school, "in studying...

An interesting investigative and critical analysis of the immigrant Chinese tycoons. Most definitely controversial, hence its attraction -- and at the same time a good indicator that you should take said book's veracity with a grain of salt. I highly recommend examining the review (and the book should you choose to buy it) with a healthy helping of good sense and reason. ferdikom98 2007-09-05T05:16:02Z 2007-09-05T05:16:02Z tag:blogdrive.com,2004:fe0349a4a01f4810415ff44d1f50ed41.347 Two recent episodes of PhD Comics; introducing Gerard the Humanities Major Personally, I do believe in thought experiments as a valid method of research. (And that all theories based on empirical observation data (aka. "real life") are valid.) update 12:02 PM 9/5/2007: In other news, Queen guitarist Brian May finally completes his PhD. thesis on Astrophysics after over 30 years. He will be given his PhD on September pending corrections.
