Benign Thoughts

I’ve been really lazy lately, I’m sorry. Hopefully I’ll get back into the habit of blogging daily, or at least every other day. Anyway, I’m posting this entry from BloGTK. It’s getting nicer, so I’m trying it out.

Digg is pretty addictive. I think I’m starting to like it more than slashdot believe it or not. News seems to get on digg faster than on Slashdot, and I like how you can blog a story right within digg. It’s pretty useful. I added it to my RSS feeds in Opera, along with Slashdot, since I can’t simply drop slashdot… I mean, it’s Slashdot! Slashdot has been, like, THE geek news source.

Some people might have heard about Google buying Opera. In fact, most people probably heard about it. Well, I don’t know if people have heard this part, but Opera’s CFO (Christian Jebsen) downright said that Google is NOT buying them, and that they haven’t even been approached by Google. However, my dad told me to take this with a grain of salt. He once worked for some engineering company, and they said they weren’t getting bought by this other company, but they did get bought out by that other company, so yeah. Who knows? Google buying Opera might not be that bad of a thing as long as Google doesn’t open-source Opera (I really don’t want to see 50 Opera derivatives around), and as long as Opera gets to keep it’s name (no GBrowser).

I’m sick. I woke up a few days ago with a headache and not being able to breathe through my nose, but I went to school anyway, since I had a band concert that night, and you’re not supposed to go to any after school activities if you weren’t at school. Yesterday I felt even worse, and had a fever at about 102 (F), so I decided to stay home. Don’t worry, I’m starting to feel better. The only thing wrong with me now is I get dizzy when I stand up, and I have a really stuffy nose.

So, well, that’s it! Uhh… Yeah. I can’t wait until Christmas and eventually New Year’s (Opera’s putting an ad up on ABC’s SuperSign, if you haven’t heard)… I want my presents!! Haha, c’ya!
