The Darkest Evil

All of thekyle.ca will be undergoing maintenence on Thursday (that’s when I will be applying the new templates, updating PHP files and creating galleries). Remember that this will take care of everything except for the blog, we are working on something special for the blog. Sorry K2, but I just can’t deal with you anymore.

A friend of mine posted the in his MySpace bulletins (it was titled 17 signs of really having feelings for someone). I corrected it and removed the annoying things in it.

17. You look at their profile/picture constantly.
16. When you are on the phone with them late at night and they hang up, you still miss them even when it was just two minutes ago.
15. You read their texts or instant messages over and over again.
14. You walk really slow when you are with them.
13. You feel shy whenever you/they are around.
11. When you think about them, your heart beats faster and slower at the same time.
10. You smile whe you hear their voice.
9. When you look at them, you can’t see the other people around you, all you see is him//her.
8. You start listening to slow songs, while thiking of them.
7. They are all you think about.
6. You get high jut from their scent.
5. You realise that you are always smiling to yourself when you think about them.
4. You would do anything for them, or anything to see them.
3. While reading this, there was one person on your mind the whole time.
2. You were so busy thinking about that person, you didnt notice number twelve.
1. You just scrolled up to check & are now silentely laughing at yourself.

A lot of those I can familiarise with when referring to Miranda but there is so much more that I feel when I am around her and I hope, later on, that she feels the same way. Thanks Kendall, I owe you one!

You know, yesterday’s megatokyo strip really put things into perspective. Why do I say that? Well, basically, sometimes I act as both Boss-san and Largo would. I act like Largo in that I set up all these traps and everything and when something comes up, I have to abandon it. People seem to enjoy my little traps and games but in the end, I don’t have the time nor the resources to continue them for as long as I’d like.

Thanks Fred for this unique perspective on life!

As a 9rules wannabe, I’ve been keeping up with the blog, notes and all that stuff and looking at 9rules today, I found an interesting feature today called 9rules search.

Announced on the 9rules blog, the 9rules search feature is a realisation that this isn’t just an elitist community of a select few blogs but it is a community bringing together the very best of the independent web.

For those of you who liked the TRBE, I am working (along with my fellow Rexannians) on a new community project that you will love. I have noticed that some people still use the code for that old programme so I figured why not jazz it up?

you dont live in canada i saw you a couple of weeks ago walking down kuykendahl…and elliott saw you too he wanted to get your butt but yah

Uh, tell that to the CBSA and CIC. Oh and you might want to tell that to Alberta Bible College. And while you are at it, why not tell Miranda, or my roommate? How about telling my landlord that? What of telling the guy down at Safeway that? Or the people who ride a Calgary transit bus? Or the minister over at Bow Valley Church of Christ. I am certain they’d love to hear it. Oh and how about CIBC and Telus. Or my next door neighbours. And what of my mother, who saw me off to the airport? How about telling that to the Air Canada staff?

You have 2 people that saw a glimpse of what you claim is me where I have like several people who have seen me face to face. Anyone who reads this and sees Kendra, tell her about this post and that hopefully, she will see that there are more than 2 people that agree with me, that I do live in Canada. But yeah.

As one of the very few Rexanni employees (and the only “designer” on the Rexanni team) I am charged with the duty to code and design EVERY Rexanni site. But, to kick off the series of new designs I am developing, I want to show you the new design I have planned for THIS site. It’s pretty sweet and I hope you like it, I did while I was creating it. (Thanks to Bryan, Heather and Skye for their critiques. I really appreciate it guys!)

Edit: I edited the words to convey my true opinion

Why is this bad? Well, the Internet is a very social network and it was built to be decentralised and an open standard. However, this bill will make it more impossible to run a website with the truth. How so, you ask? Well, here are the reasons MY blog and site would be effected if Net Neutrality were to fail in the states.

1. I tell about my bad experiences of Charter Cable, AOL, Microsoft and all those mother fuckers so once Net Neutrality fails, they will have the power to block my content or make it slower.
2. Advertisements and advertising partners will make less payouts to webmasters and give the ISPs and Telcos more money to prioritise their advertisements. Content is king and it is the reason why the Internet is so successful. Would someone watch 30 minutes of television to see 29 minutes of advertisements as opposed to just 6 minutes of advertisements? Of course not! We would get out a bit more and enjoy life and do other things. And eventually, since we wouldn’t be able to see the benefit of having a “high-speed” internet connection, we’d cancel it in a heartbeat.
3. Do you really think we’d be able to use Instant Messengers from other ISPs? Like if I were using Yahoo!’s DSL programme in the states, do you think that I would be able to gain the same level of connectivity with MSN Messenger, ICQ and AOL IM that I would gain with Yahoo!? Of course not, because Yahoo! would love to try to drive people to help improve it’s market share.
4. Great sites like The Pirate Bay and Boxtorrents would drastically be reduced in popularity as we would probably have an even lower level connection to bittorrent.
5. Firefox is gaining considerable steam and market power. Now, if Net Neutrality fails, it may be that the only browser you will be able to use (if you use MSN or an ISP that works with MSN) is Internet Explorer. That sucks, doesn’t it?

So I approve of Net Neutrality.

I have decided to start using the trackback feature of my blog. Why? Well, there are several reasons to this theory.

1. The feature is built in. No escaping it, so why not use it?
2. Trackbacks are great for your Technorati rating. Plus, if you are like me, you like going into your WordPress administration panel and seeing that there are more people linking to your blog. Nice ^^.
3. It gives the authour of the post where your link is going to appear that SOMEONE is paying attention to their blog. It’s usually very uplifting to Trackback.

Of course, there is always for trackbacks to be abused, but if you have WordPress (great blogging software, must say), you should use Akismet. It is very successful and I’ve had no probs with it.
So rev up those trackbacks everyone!

Steve Jobs announced in his Keynote speech this month that there would be new games on the iPod as well as movies with DVD quality on the iTunes Music Store. With over 75 titles to begin with, Apple has truly made it’s music store the world’s largest place to waste your entire paycheque on.

Why do I say this? Well, I have always found The Pirate Bay to be one of the best places to get MY movies (and the other would be BoxTorrents). In fact, once I get my new Mac Pro, I am going to burn myself a copy of The Ultimate Matrix Collection.
