Because I'm absolutely nuts about rain, it seems natural and fitting that, when I decide to once again get my hands dirty in descriptive/narrative writing, I should write about rain.
So if you happen to be bored without anything better to do, go take a quick read and tell me what you think ~ here.
What? Don't be absurd! Of course magic remains an integral theme.
:D

Archmage ~ The reincarnation
 | Yep, thanks to linsien's get-everyone-to-play-archmage campaign, I have started playing Archmage! Its actually pretty fun for something recommended by linsien (xD) Oh, in case ur scratching your head, Archmage is a free, browser-based, text-based, turn-based online game. Think utopia, but minus the structure and team (hence stress xD) elements of a kingdom, and plus a very interesting metagame. The thought of summoning hordes of liches and horned demons don't hurt either :D |

Multiple desktops... for WINDOWS
The shock! The amazement!
Ah wells, was planning to blog about Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight album (which I enjoyed), but that will take some time so while waiting for linsien to appear (like 1hour 15 minutes after the agreed upon time), I'll just quickly pen down something I found while browsing the net.
I have to admit, one of the most important reasons I am absolutely terrified of returning to windows now is the single, cramped desktop in which I have to survive there (remember that Ubuntu has eight?). But now, it seems that there is salvation yet for all you people out there still reluctant to venture beyond the event horizon of microsoft windows. Take a look at this :
Yeah that's right. Virtual desktops for WINDOWS!! Complete with a 3D-cube effect too. Looks like it only gives you four virtual desktops, but hey, thats a hell alot better than one. Best of all, its free (you won't catch me blogging about it otherwise)!
Of course, I've never tried it, so I have no idea how well it works. I only ever log in to windows to perform stuff I absolutely cannot perform in Linux now, and one desktop is good enough for that. If any of you do try it out though, kindly let me know the results :)

Embun!
So today Hoa in typical Hoa fashion sent me an enigmatic hyperlink via msn. In typical Yuen Hoe fashion I clicked the link, and et voila! I find :
Ubuntu-linux with a Malaysian flavour! Now that's something I would seriously consider installing if I didn't already have Ubuntu-linux running on my machine. I mean, if nothing else, the Embun logo looks a hell alot cooler than the ubuntu one ^^ While the name 'Embun' still somehow has an Ubuntu-ish feel to it, I have to say I like the bright neon-ish green colour scheme better than Ubuntu's brownish red, and the glassy icon theme doesn't hurt either ^^. Some screenshots (these are of course unmodified, unlike my previous Ubuntu shots ^^ basically what you get fresh out of install) :
As far as I could tell though, Embun is nothing more than Ubuntu with a nice wallpaper, a nice icon-set, a nice new logo and a couple of extra software thrown in. Neat, but not enough for me to switch from my current comfortable installation.
You can read about Embun via the original hyperlink Hoa sent me : http://news.softpedia.com/news/Embun-A-Malaysian-Ubuntu-67618.shtml
Of course, in the remote chance that any of you become interested, Embun, like Ubuntu, is open source, and available for perfectly free, perfectly legal download.
