Evaluation, rather, the Value.

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Everything, in this world, has a value - be it given by people you know, people you DON’T know (and probably will never know), and the rest of the people, including yourself, of course.

Now, now. Some of you might start rumours saying Yandao.com has viruses, backdoors, trojans, and what the hell. I’ll tell you straight - AGAIN., if you don’t trust me, DON’T use ANY OF MY SERVICES, DON’T USE ANY OF MY PROGRAMS, and DON’T ASK ME TO FIX YOUR LAPTOP WHEN IT GETS SCREWED.

Paraphrased: If you don’t like me, find your own ways to play your LAN games in RP’s campus, and don’t use anything I make. Period.

Perhaps, you are the type who believes nothing good comes free - like the very Gahmen we are familiar with re-emphasizes over, and over again.

Congratulations - you’re a realist. You do not believe there’s something called unconditional giving, and honestly, it turns you into something… well, go figure. Now we finally understand why our taxes are considered “low“.

Then again, there are quite abit of people who actually *do* appreciate things, one of them happen to be someone I happened to know quite a while ago, and of course, he’s one of the regulars who hang about the site.

(8:48 PM) RP Student: a big f***ing thank u man
(8:48 PM) Kelvin: HAHAHAHAHA! CONGRATS MAN

…of course, names are edited, punctuation marks were added, and… well, certain words censored out, to keep identities intact, but I’m sure you catch my drift.

How much is THAT above, worth? Can you buy a relationship (or rather, the start of a relationship) with money? Is this a value-added service that a simple, ordinary blog startup, like, Yandao.com can provide?

Now, now, I’ll write something else in a while, to follow up on evaluation, and of course, the next post will be about something…. shiny.

Moving *to* Singapore!

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Okay, for those of you who have requested it, and bugged me day, night, and morning for around 5000 times each day. We’re moving the website to my local server (local as in Singapore).

The speeds should be considerably faster than the US one, since after all, 5gb of traffic each day comes from Singapore….. therefore… ;)

Ah well, commenting is disabled ON THE OLD SERVER for the next 48 hours while the server moves! (that also means if you *can* comment - you’re already on the new one!)

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Yes, this post comes a little late, but just for the record (and the guys/gals out there who didn’t really check back so often) - Yandao.com Photo Database 07/08 is AVAILABLE NOW!

Finally - you can search for that someone you’ve been secretly eyeing all day from the other side of the canteen in Republic Polytechnic.

*TSST*

…as for me, I have my very, very sweet Lafina. =)
