Not “Cuil”

Posted on July 30th, 2008 in by ChrisLim

One would think that a search for your name would yield your domain name first but Cuil (supposedly pronounced “Cool”) doesn’t.

I searched a concatenation of my name chrislim – Cuil and it didn’t even come close.

UNICEF th The United Nations Children’s Fund yields NO results at all.

Update: 8/2/2008. Looks like it is there now. I wonder if they only spider the pages after a user tries to access it.

Boo Hasbro!

Ok, so they were copying Scrabble. But it was a fun game.  I’m not calling for a boycott but they should have just bought them out instead of building a really crappy version and forcing FB to dump Scrabulous (from the US and Canadian IP’s).

Its like AT&T trying to force the US Govt to treats VOIP providers like regular telco providers and built their own VOIP services behind the scenes.

Comcasted.

Posted on July 24th, 2008 in by ChrisLim

I bought a Tivo Series 3 2 years ago thinking that we will have HD at this new house. I was a little dissapointed.

I installed a HD Antenna and got a bunch of HD channels, then bought a big ass TV. I was excited.

I now see a few HD channels showing up on the lineup in the Tivo. I’m cautious.

I called Comcast and they said “Yes! you have HD! But only if you use the Comcast HD Box!”. I’m deflated and mad!

I hung up and called again, second rep said “Nope! You do not have HD as there is no HD tier available”. I’m comcasted.

Two rounds

Posted on July 6th, 2008 in by ChrisLim

Played 2 amazing rounds of golf this weekend. 75 at Hampshire on Friday and 78 at Angels today.

Today’s round also consisted of 4 (four!) birdies. It was surreal.

Golf is a digital game. You’re either on or off. You don’t get to decide which but just plan the hand/game you’re dealt with for the day.

Note To Self: Do the open stance thing. It works. Also stop forcing the driver. Remember the two 300 yd drive that required no additional umph, and the 200 duck hook that did. And, oh yeah, do the forward press on the putts. It works to keep the ball down too.
