Whykay's happenings

Not really working for the guy sleeping in the background there. >-<

Kiwis to be destroyed as they are 1mm too small!

According to the EU rules that they are not of quality to be sold to consumers even though they are perfectly okay. What a waste, especially when there are so many people who cannot afford fresh fruit and veg.

Alan and Mick at the Firefox 3 party

Mick's actually smiling with his eyes open! :D

That's a bit crazy..

... selling your life on ebay, I mean! I suppose if you have no qualms like this guy and want a fresh start, why not, plus the bidding is going well for him so far. Fair play to him, hope he likes his new lease of life when his former life is sold.

Naivety

A pact to get pregnant is one of the most irresponsible things to do, and these girls have no idea the enormity of what they have done to themselves. Bringing another life into the world, and the loss of their last years of childhood to became young mothers. It's not the end of the world for them, it'll be tougher. It begs to question the sex education they had, the implications of what they had done is not serious to them at all...

School officials became suspicious when girls began seeking pregnancy tests at the school clinic and seemed more upset when they were not pregnant than when they were. Some girls reacted with high-fives and started planning baby showers when they learned they were expecting.

Firefox 3 Ireland party on Thursday

I'll be there. Wonder what free swag I'll get?

Hit & Stabbings in Akihabara

Yikes, people were injured and killed in a hit and stabbing incident in Akihabara.

Google labs in Gmail

Mick pointed it out to me yesterday. For those who are lucky to see the green bottle at the top right hand corner of your gmail window, then you have access to the Gmail Lab. Once you are in Gmail Lab section, you can enable or disable the features and feedback links to each of the features.

Here are the features:

• Quick Links - Adds a box to the left column that gives you 1-click access to any bookmarkable URL in Gmail. You can use it for saving frequent searches, important individual messages, and more.

• Super stars - Adds additional star icons. After enabling this feature, you can choose which icons you wish to use in the "General" Settings page.

• Pictures in Chat - See your friends' profile pictures when you chat with them.

• Fixed width font - Adds an option to the reply dropdown menu that lets you view a message in fixed width font.

• Custom keyboard shortcuts - Lets you customize keyboard shortcut mappings. Adds a new Settings tab from which you can remap keys to various actions.

• Mouse gestures - Use your mouse to navigate with gestures. Hold right-click and move the mouse left to go to a previous conversation, move it right to go to the next conversation, and move up to go back to the inbox view. Works best on Windows.

• Signature tweaks - Places your signature before the quoted text in a reply, and removes the "--" line that appears before signatures. Can't use this and the "Random signature" Labs feature at the same time.

• Random signature - Rotates among random quotations for your email signature. Can't use this and the "Signature tweaks" Labs feature at the same time.

• Custom date formats - Adds options to the general settings page allowing the date and time format to be changed independent of language. For example, you can use a 24-hour clock (14:57) or show dates with the day first (31/12/07).

• Muzzle - Conserves screen real estate by hiding your friends' status messages.

• Old Snakey - Kick it old school with Old Snakey! Enable keyboard shortcuts and hit '&' from the main page to play a game of snake.

• Email Addict - Lets you take a break from email and chat by blocking the screen for fifteen minutes and making you invisible in chat.

• Hide Unread Counts - Hides the unread counts for inbox, labels, etc.

I am using the Super Stars and the pictures in Gchat at the moment.
