I’ve decided to change the direction of Techorials from a failing forum to a tutorial blog website, it seems to be the smartest decision because, trying to create a large community from scratch is pretty hard these days, and I was trying to just sit back and hope people register. So yeah, go to Techorials and check it out.
Oh and for the six (that’s too generous) three people that still visit this website, I have some news, around August 2010, this site is going to die due to amateur domain hosting website’s who think they can die whenever they feel like it and not give me a proper transfer.
So who knows, I mean there obviously is going to be a replacement, but I feel like going in a new direction, It’s been a nice 4 years, but I feel I need to expand my horizons and start properly learning, I mean I know the barebones of web-design and that’s not nearly enough for me to make an impact when I’m older. So yeah, I appreciate all the people that have ever read my site over the years, despite the lack of comments, I know there is a underlying heartbeat underneath this.
So I guess I’ll have to enjoy these last three months.
I turned on Spotify today to notice that it’s changed quite a lot- it seems to be following a software fad: Facebook integration
As you can see it’s taken my profile picture, and is using my real name, this is just the start though, some of my friends who also have Spotify have been added in a sidebar, looks pretty neat.
It also shows all the playlists you are subscribed to.
And you can see all the people that are subscribed to it.
It has has my entire iTunes library imported into Spotify, video podcasts aswell which is the annoying thing, and there isn’t anyway to clean it up. So I am stuck with this huge mess of a library. :/
Destructoid was having a competition to win 20 Steam codes for Serious Sam: Second Encounter, I never usually do competitions but since there was nothing better happening in my day and I already had my camera conveniently placed in front of me I said "why not?".
I produced this picture:
I was pretty optimistic because
it was a picture
it had destructoid in the background
i have a srs faic on
i am token black guy
To my surprise, I won (along with 19 other people, but who cares? I WON) and that is the story of how I won.
if you can read (and if you can’t I have no idea why you are here) you can see that my name. Tariq Adam Taybi is there!
I was brushing my teeth normally and I noticed the other side of my toothbrush has a tounge scrubber so I spat in the sink and proceeded to scrub my tounge clean, with the furious speed and strength my right hand has I accidently stabbed the toothbrush deep in my mouth more than I intended to, gagging violently. I spat the remaining fluids of my mouth back into the sink and looked into the mirror. To my suprise I saw my eyes, MY EYES were red, not just a normal red! A crazy red only achieved from the effects of certain controlled substances, I washed my face and dried it with a towel then left the bathroom.
OH HELLO THERE! MY NAME IS TARIQ I AM 15 YEARS OLD, I WEIGH 60KG DUNNO HOW TALL I AM MY INTERESTS ARE PLAYING GAMES, LISTENING TO MUSIC, WATCHING MY YOUTUBE SUBSCRIPTIONS, CRYING MY SELF TO SLEEP, HANING WITH FRIENDS, POSTING ON A VARIETY OF WEB FORUMS AND UPDATING MY WEBPAGE. I ALSO LIKE:
I don’t mind when people drink, drink away; you could of had a long day and wanted to take off the edge and stuff I really don’t mind, or just felt like shortening the length of your livers life expectancy.
I don’t really mind.
What pisses me off is getting drunk calls, drunk texts or worse DRUNK IM’s- I mean I’m browsing the interwebs at a convenient time (2:02 am) can’t I just watch my heavily built up YouTube subscriptions and sleep in peace?
NOOO! Who- no what the fuck possessed your under age drinking brain to start a conversation starting with “dshdvbadvhv nds omg“? Certain drunk conversations are hilarious when the drunk person makes an effort, but this is just ridiculous; get the fuck off my MSN and go to sleep, experiment with you’re best friend in some way to vent your deeply repressed sexual urges, eat some bread. I DON’T REALLY CARE, just don’t call me unless you have something better to say.
Just found out that a lot of people in my school have started blogs, there pretty funny to read because they’re all about AMGZZ LIFE IS SO HARD, MAYBE MAKING A LONG ASS POST WITHOUT GOOD PUNCTUATION WILL MAKE MY LIFE BETTER.” These posts provide me with sufficient lulz that help me through my day, I have like a neatly ordered bookmark folder on my firefox waiting (in anticipation, no doubt) about what the future holds in their hilariously angsty lives. Most of their problems could be solved with a simple case of an-hero, but what can you do?
