Holed Up at Home in Mid-April

Today I wrote a post about getting past the Great Firewall with Google App Engine

I’d had the idea a few weeks ago, but I’m lazy, so I never got around to writing it. Then yesterday I got a sudden burst of energy and wrote the whole thing in one go~ hehe

Sometimes inspiration only lasts a moment. Seize it and you can work miracles.

At noon today I looked out the kitchen window. Yep, nice view~

The day before yesterday I discovered I’m pretty good at Photoshop~ heh. A friend I met online asked me to remove a watermark. I never really use PS, but I said yes. I’ll try! That’s all I could do~

Turns out, to my surprise, I did a really good job~ hehe

Let me show you what I made

Take a look, there’s a before and after~~~

I’ve got more talent than I thought

If any of you need a watermark removed, get in touch~

I went to bed really late last night because my computer’s drivers broke. Ugh, it’s all the fault of Driver Genius 2010. It’s total garbage. What kind of drivers was it updating? cuss it!

The multimedia touchpad stopped working, and after I rolled the drivers back the screen kept flickering. Damn~ So I had to uninstall and roll back by hand~ I didn’t get it all sorted until the early hours of this morning.

I ran into an elementary school classmate online~ late at night, more like close to morning really~

He offered to take me out to McDonald’s~ uh~ but it was way too late

I turned him down~ I live really close to a McDonald’s, it’s just that it was raining and too late, so I didn’t go. Thanks to him anyway~

Lately I’ve been really nostalgic for Doraemon. I was obsessed with him in elementary school, then slowly forgot about him, but now I remember him again~

I switched my computer theme to Doraemon

Heh, check out my boot screen~

The desktop has the same theme now too. So sunny~~

I’m figuring out how to embed a player in WordPress

Here’s a test:

Title: Climbing Over the Great Firewall

It’s just a test~ hehe

It’s hosted on Microsoft’s online storage. Just let me know how fast it plays~ Thanks~

Why am I using my own player? Because Youku and Tudou both block the videos I want to upload as violations, so I had no choice but to host them myself~

Another week is starting, and midterms are coming up too. Let’s welcome tomorrow with a smile~

Hehe~

Finally, if anyone knows a good free online storage service that allows hotlinking, be sure to let me know~
