Frustration

"I am an artist," the man proudly proclaimed. "I don't care," the critic proudly responded. "The frame is too large, the colors are dark and it will not match my furniture," the critic further explained.Many times web developers experience a similar scorn but not always from humans. A site has been designed with an interface that pops with beautiful GIFs and JPEGs, dazzles with Flash and f

Draws are almost as bad as defeats from a points perspective and it felt like a defeat at the Riverside today for me. Boro worked very hard for their point, but really we need to be going away to sides like them and taking all three points. The rested players were welcomed back into the side meaning that only Almunia, Djourou, Denilson, Song and Diaby kept their places. Boro started with a

I forgot to blog about the contest which Nuffnang is having. I should have written about it earlier but I was too busy with the opportunities that are coming on my way. As I have already said before paid blogging is the biggest earner of this blog or should I say that this blog is my only blog right now that is earning since my second blog is just two months’ old.

Lest I leave my readers with the impression that we are all doomed to lives lived in constant states of frustration, I'd like to point us in other directions for the moment.People sometimes call me 'sweet', and my immediate reaction is irritation and a clenched jaw. I am not all that sweet, believe me. What I am is probably too cautious in speaking my mind, (hence, the clenched jaw!) (I'm working

I'm switching gears today. And for today at least, the topics of George Washington, his compatriots, and the Revolutionary War will be on hold. The problem is, I had this great 'stream-of-consciousness' inspiration for my next (this!) post, it was all-systems go!, I was smokin'! and now I can only remember part of it. I'm not really sure I remember even that much - but I thought, if I start, it wi

So far there have been very few things that I have become accustomed to or simply have to have that I had in Arizona and can’t have in Illinois. One is good Mexican food in a restaurant.

I didn't see today's game, but I did listen on the radio and the annoying biased northern tones to the commentary did have me bashing my head against my walls at times, I should be more tolerant but I can't help my natural rage.

Yesterday I got a call from Pelatis Consultancy, they asked to tell me about myself. I thought that it was a BPO and just answered them. But after sometime they asked me about my academic marks, I started to doubt because no BPO is going to ask for marks. Then I asked them, for 'which BPO I am going to attend the Interview?' They told me that there is openings in HP, but didn't told me anything ab

William Gallas salvaged a draw for Arsenal with a last-gasp goal in their Champions League opener at Dynamo Kiev. Gallas poked in from point-blank range at the far post after a low cross from man-of-the-moment Theo Walcott.

Day 2: I woke up quite early in the morning. May be due to the time difference between Japan & Nepal (Japan Time is 3 hrs 15 min. ahead of Nepal Time); I could not sleep once I woke up at about 5 o’clock.

It’s not looking good. I’ve never liked Sundays.  It’s such a boring day.   In the morning there is nothing to watch or nobody else to talk to because everybody else is sleeping or curing their hangover from Saturday night.  To make things worse, the next day is Monday which speaks for itself.

Tonight I went to Old Navy to exchange a pair of tank tops that I originally purchased on Saturday. Normally I'm good at guessing my size, but this year, Old Navy has really dialed-down the quality of the tank tops, going from thick, sturdy cotton to some flimsy cotton/modal blend. I'm not a cotton/modal blend-hater, but Anne and I were both shocked at the decrease in quality. I know that you "get what you pay for," so for $7.50 each on sale, I'm not expecting cashmere, but seriously. I loved those tank tops and stocked up every year. Now I have to make sure my old ones last as long as possible because they're total crap now, same with the "perfect tee," which is now more of a "perfect piece of crap."Moving on - when I went in tonight to do an even exchange from XL to L, I could tell rig

Mum is getting frustrated! She wants to redo my main website - JohannTheDog.com, but is pretty clueless about web design and website building. Yes, she made my current website - but she did it in FrontPage, which is kind of easy. But it's not optimized or structured correctly. And she wants to give it a new look.She downloaded the free trial of the new Dreamweaver CS3, and has been tinkering (tinkering too much IMHO!) with it. Every time she gets in there she starts making all these grunting, frustrating sounds. Makes me nervous!!!!So today she is going to talk with a website designer who can maybe get her started with a template or something that she can build on from there. She likes the new Dreamweaver because it's more WYSIWYG like (she needs lots of help like that).She's also spending

In December of 1976, William F. Buckley, Jr. angrily expressed his concerns over the pardon process noting, "Chile may be showing greater concern for its political prisoners than the United States." The anxiety stemmed from the fact that Buckley wanted to see Howard Hunt's two and a half to eight-year prison sentence commuted. Harvard Professor James Q. Wilson had noted that anyone else with Hunt's record would have probably been given a 30-day suspended sentence. But Judge John Sirica was handing out "extraordinary prison terms" in order to "put special pressure on his prisoners to cooperate with the prosecution." Buckley wrote:In the office of the Attorney General of the United States is someone called the Pardon Attorney. His job is to prepare recommendations for the President of the Un

With the Benazir Bhutto assassination 3 weeks ago, and the subsequent fallout, I neglected to wish my friends and readersa very Happy New Year....so Happy 2008! Personally, it couldhave started off a little better. My beloved Dallas Cowboys, who had the best record in the NFC and held home field advan-tage throughout the playoffs with a first round bye, blew it bylosing to the N.Y. Giants, a team Dallas had beaten twice thisseason. I know it is tough to beat the same team 3 times in thesame season, but after the year Dallas had had, and the advan-tage at hand, it could - SHOULD - have been a victory. Yet weCowboy fans have to suffer through yet another year without aplayoff victory, a streak that reaches over a decade now. Veryfrustrating.  :(  On the positive side, we got our first r

I’m feeling so frustrated with my photography. I having been having trouble nailing my focus lately and a lot of shots seem muddy and underexposed. My black and white conversions have been lousy and I’m not happy with the tonal range in my black and white shots. This is a problem because aesthetically I much prefer B&W. I’ve been playing around this morning with the camera set to monocrome and have reached the following conclusions: 1) I am going off full manual and am going to use aperture priority mode for a while so I don’t have to worry about the shutter speed. I’ll let the camera do what I was trying to do - constantly readjust the ss as the kids move from one lighting condition to another. 2) I’m going to stop opening my aperture all the way. With f/1.8 the depth of field is SO shallow that if the kids move even a smidgeon the focus moves from their face to, say, their shirt. I’m not doing fashion photography I’m doing

My muse is playing hide and seek with me these days. Or has it been weeks? Perhaps. I haven’t been exactly blogging about quality posts. Just ranting or rambling on abut things that doesn’t concern me. Well, weddings do concern me except that I’m only the supporting role and why the heck do I even get blue when all I have to do is to delay the groom? Perhaps I feel restricted that I may not be able to even play some games because it’s actually a pity to have a fallout with the bride when it’s just some game that shouldn’t even hurt anyone. Having known the bride for years, the morning pranks or activities is obviously simple. Ask for a huge red packet / ang bao and get it done with. No torturing the groom to go through the process of sour, sweet, bitter or spicy. No asking the groom to sing diabetic sweet songs to serenade the bride. No asking the groom to shout from that basketball court more than 200 metres away to declare loudly “I LOVE <

This video is about the NES Super Mario Bros. hack called Frustration. As the name implies, the game is insanely hard, almost impossible to master. Some guy with a funny accent gives a shot at Frustration and gets owned, big time. He walks you through the first two stages with hilarious comments. You probably won't watch all 23 minutes of it, but even the few first minutes are enough to bring happy tears to your eyes. What a fucked up game!

Yes, Bin Laden’s latest audiotape aired on al Jazeera is somewhat unique. Not in its ideological party line or in the Salafi doctrinal roots. That hasn’t changed nor is it expected to. Surely, in a previous speech he inserted some neo Marxist and Trotskyite stuff; but that was part of his “American” rhetoric, and possibly at the request of his Gringo advisers. Today’s audio wasn’t concerned about Berkeley’s approval but was dedicated to whip the chaotic commanders...(read more)

The Republican Party's highest-ranking Latino official abruptly resigned Friday, marking the latest casualty in the GOP's bitter internal fight over immigration and dealing another setback to President Bush's years-long effort to court Latino voters. The ploy to get the Latino vote evaporated fast, as the latest defector is Mel Martinez and head of the Latino RNC, Martinez is a Cuban-born Senator from Florida.Like his hero McKinley, he alone was the true visionary. Everyone else looked at the political landscape and saw a nation at rough parity. Rove looked at the same thing and saw an emerging Republican majority.The last link I got off Mother Jones also and it puts in perspective of how Karl Rove came to seeing just about whatever Karl Rove seemed to see, Karl's goal was to bring in the Latino vote for the GOP but it did not quite get materialized like a lot of Karl's other wishes that seemed to vanish like vapor.MotherJones Blog: Latino Head of RNC Resigns in FrustrationRove's

One of the many benefits of being a conservative as opposed to a liberal is that we never have any shame about self-criticizing our own party. Being naturally opinionated, conservatives won’t hesitate to call out one of our own for a little verbal slapping when needed. Where liberals will openly turn on each other out of ambition, the motive from the political right is borne out of keeping the team strong in the fight against the other side. It is from that basis that I write today.You wouldn’t believe how frustrating it is to be even slightly to the political right in Canada. Our current Conservative minority government represents but a reprieve from the seemingly endless reign of the Eastern Canadian dominated Liberal governments. It has become impossible to differentiate between actual news stories and leftwing opinion propaganda segments on our national broadcaster, the C.B.C.

No luck on the web editor front, still not able to upload anything. Plus my second printer is kaput. I really wanted to provide a link to the completed Lily wall, and a good start on the Door one, but short of smashing my computer (a colleague used to call it a confuser) against the wall, I'm stumped. It's obviously going to take still longer to see a refurbished Maraya. I'm looking forward to building a much more interesting site, with a lot of reference materials, and hopefully more workshops and more artwork. Fun, fun, fun. Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating.Meantime, I did the last version of the Door (previous post) late last night, I was kind of groggy and forgot the steps. There weren't that many anyway, and most of them are uninteresting:- I drained the colour, then did a tan-ish duotone, then went back to RGB.- I also used the Cloud (or was it Difference Clouds) feature in the Render Filter in low opacity in Overlay (I think).

I came to this question after a particularly frustrating piece had me nearly banging my head on the table. Not that I actually was. All the head banging would mess up all the tiny beads lined up just so. A brisk walk after this little meltdown got me thinking. Do I actually enjoy creating jewelry any more? The answer came almost instantly, and it wasn't all driven by frustration, "NO." I'd rather be painting, or creating a little plushie. Those things (mostly) calm me down and make me happy. Why not just leave the jewelry making to the people who actually enjoy making the jewelry? The funny thing is, I used to really enjoy making jewelry. My fir

After living in the same city for over 35 years I moved last year to be closer to my daughter. Suddenly, I knew where nothing was and found myself at a loss to find even simple things like barbers or an independently owned store to buy a vacuum cleaner. Like any internet geek I turned to the web in general and various yellow pages directories in specific. What I found was tons of listings that had merely chosen the name of my city as a keyword and were actually located hundreds or thousands of miles away. This was not helpful, so I returned to the tried and true method of asking around. Unfortunately, my neighbors don’t seem to share my passion for local economics and thus their answer to almost every such query was either Wal-Mart or Target. Sigh. Back online I go. Recently I found a new Online Yellow Pages. Instead of focusing on the overall number of listings, Radiux spends its energy assuring that the companies listed not only actually exist, but that they are locate

At last, after the long break, I finally knew that my Ambank NexG card is being activated, although I did not receive anything from Ambank yet, by calling Ambank Customer Care to enquire about my card status. The operator told me that I will be able to top-up my card from now on.This slight progress did not fancy me at all since it will take another unknown length of period to receive my PIN number which enables me to get a online banking PIN and get my PayPal account verified! This is really a frustration for me, I thought everything will be done in the most two weeks time but now, all of them will depend on another party, Pos Malaysia, which I don't a positive perception with.My frustrations went deeper when one of my funds received has been returned to Chris, my Review Column employer. The next money amounting to USD80 from PayPerPost. The worst case scenario will be me having nothing left and start all over again. Who should I blame in this? I think it was me... but wait a second,

I have taken the car to work only twice or so since the day I realized that global warming is on the brink of becoming devastatingly abrupt and escalating. The fairly long distance (10 km), the biting cold, the rain, the snow, the strong head winds, the heat etc has been somewhat challenging but not too discouraging. The real challenge has been to remain sane when seeing all the fat asses driving by. How should I handle this frustration that I experience daily? I have a hard time blocking it out. Why are so few converging to a climate friendly behavior? Will the recent torrential rainfalls and heat waves uproot people from their carbon massive lifestyles?If not, what will it take?I hope the Toyota Prius Plugin will hit the market shortly...

Words from a Pink Floyd song rang threw my head - "If you don't eat your meat - you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your Meat!" Translated - "If you don't enter a trade - How can you make any money. How can you make any money, if you don't enter the trade!!!!!"-Four Big Mouth stocks and this is how they should have been played. - First TSRA - short on premarket popped at 43.95, stop at 44.40. Quickly after open stop moved down to 43.90 and stopped out (break even). Later at 10:30 go long for a gain.-Second GLW - go short on open 27.10, stop at 27.40. Follow stock down for a nice gain. No Heat.-Third TOT - go short on open 83.05, stop at 83.75. After open moved stop down and get stopped out for a break even trade. Later around 83.05 go long for a half point gain.-Forth CY - go short get stopped for break even. Go long and get stopped for break even. -So you play TO and TSRA with 1000 shares and CY and GLW with 2000 shares. Net in my mind sho

There are a few games that with only a mere mentioning can make gamers across the globe cringe. Most are because of just how truly awful they were, games like E.T., Superman, Big Rig and Galleon (it sucked, accept this). But there are also a select few games that make gamers cringe, scowl and openly cry out in pain for another reason. A far more sinister reason. Games like Contra, Ghosts n’ Ghouls, Battletoads, and Stuntman invoke these feelings of sheer dread and despair. Why? Because they’re freaking IMPOSSIBLE! THAT’S WHY! Now, as Major Nelson is more than happy to tell us, the demo for the sequel, Stuntman: Ignition is now available for download over Xbox Live. So, go on. Download it. Let yourself be driven to tears all over again. You all have fun with that. As for myself… I’m staying far, far away. Far away. Far.

All loyal blog readers following my posts might know that I just started my new semester and will have a lot of pressure learning new stuffs like taxation, audit and some more advanced accounting syllabus. What I always don't like about classes is that during the class, I can't follow! Doomed... I don't mean I don't like classes, it's just that frustration will grow at once. Luckily YP is a cool-headed guy is situation like this but still, there's some frustration left in me.My class session is from 9am to 5pm today, which of course multiplied the degree of frustrations every minutes gone by. I decided to vomit it all out in my blog or at least, replying some emails and comments might open my mind a bit. Things don't always go our way, even when we are in the state of despair or maybe sorrow...What happened you might ask? Well, before you guys and girls reading at this, do you find accessing my blog a bit troublesome and there seems to be some bug? Worst thing that happened to m

I decided to start reading Art and Fear again - it's one of those books that I pick up from time to time. I do think the title is all wrong though. I am not afraid of success, but rather get frustrated at the snails pace of my journey. And, I suppose success is a subjective term here - it means different things to different people.The authors write:"At some point the need for acceptance may well collide head-on with the need to do your own work. It's too bad, since the request itself seems so reasonable: you want to do your own work, and you want acceptance for that. It's the ballad of the cowboy and the mountain man, the myth of artistic integrity and Sesame Street: sing the song of your heart, and sooner or later the world will accept and reward the authentic voice. Jaded sophisticates laugh at this belief, but usually buy into it along with everyone else anyway.In the non-art world, this belief system is a driving mechanism behind the American Dream - and the Mid-Life Cri

Ugh I am so frustrated with paypal. Refer back to this post. I received my 2nd replacement card and guess what? I can’t activate that one either!!! I called them again and they said basically the same thing. I have to request ANOTHER one because in the system it says that the card that I just got is damaged. The lady that I talked to kept apologizing but that’s not good enough. I think something’s up with their system and they need to figure it out. Now I have to wait another 2 weeks to get 3rd card that I probably won’t get to activate. On to better things. The Pinks & Blues Girls are having a The Body Shop / Vera Bradley Contest! Did I hear The Body Shop? Yep, that’s right. I sponsored the contest with a Coconut Body Butter. This maxed out my chance to win that gorgeous Vera Bradley bag though, lol. So go on over and enter, make sure you thoroughly follow the rules! Good luck! Thanks Audrey, Jane, & Sharon! Contest Plugging: Win a $50 Kangaro

A behind the scenes look at the Trends video, 'Sexual Frustration'

Google and its YouTube subsidiary are trying Hollywood's patience.The search engine has made significant progress in recent weeks signing content partnership deals for YouTube. But a growing number of studio executives, irritated by no-shows at meetings and canceled test programs, say they are frustrated with Google's inability to scrub the site of copyright-infringing material. While CEO Eric Schmidt made big news in Las Vegas two months ago when he said the company was very "close to turning" on a system that will streamline the takedown process, when that system actually will be deployed is a mystery.Adding to the agitation, copyright-filtering technology is already in use at smaller video sites such as Guba, Dailymotion.com and Eyespot. Even Microsoft has installed the features for which Hollywood is clambering on its Soapbox site.
