since google owns blogger, it’s kinda logical they’d put their AdWords technology to work on ur blog. rite now (2004-05-13) the 2 ads on this blog are for “EarthRights lawsuit against Unocal for human rights abuses in Burma,” and “Sensationell günstig Burma bereisen Unser Insiderwissen machts müglich!”. hmmmm, and i rather believed to the google motto, “don’t be evil”. but then, the estimated IPO valuation of US$20,000,000,000 might change a thing or two. after all, google kowtowed to the pressure from the “church” of scientology to remove listings that weren’t deemed positive nuf by the claimant. also, there’s been incidents in which german and french google sites excluded pointers to websites allegedly violating the laws of those two countries.

Blogger facelift
05.13
blogger got a facelift during the weekend: the logo’s got rounded corners now, and some of the dimensions (e.g., the inner negative space are slightly roomier now) have changed. the website is more “hip” (based on extensive market research, i’d think), and looks like it’d appeal to the 15-to-25 crowd. fair dinkum, i’m outta that segment arredi, so let them eat cake.
i decided to hibernate my old design (the school sucks wif black and orange details) for a while, and to see how these new canned templates will work. one new addition to blogger’s arsenal is the comments option after each new post, and i’ve yet to check out how you can apply your own template to those pages.

No tags for this post.guys, why is my email down? my patience has kinda been wearing thin lately thanks to your mismanagement and plain incompetence concerning my website. fyi, having a plesk control panel with windows xp–style interface *does not* compensate for having to redo your entire site, including but not limited to, mysql! but then, what did i expect from a bunch of miserable loosers like you and your gang. i find it extremely hilarious of you claiming ‘but remember, we did not do this to your server’! wtf! if you would have any sense of IT security, you’d know how to protect your — and *my* — server from harm! so guys, i’m just bidding my time and looking for a *honest* and *reliable* host so i wouldn’t have to do without a site and email for days on end. i’m looking forward for the day i can finally tell you and your [expletive deleted] to [expletive deleted] OFF! but now, prove that you actually are worth your hosting fee: *FIX MY EMAIL! NOW!* you mutha[expletive deleted] texan idiots!!! hey, u wanna talk wif me? sure, call me in finland (yeah, that’s OLD EUROPE, u george w bush–like god-[expletive deleted]-sucking illiterate moron) at [telephone number deleted to protect the innocent] and i’ll tell you in plain language what i really think of your service and your mutha’s sweet [expletive deleted]! NOW FIX MY [expletive deleted] EMAIL ASAP AND STOP WHINING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR SERVICE!!! [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] !!!

So, you 17, is it? Come again after 14 years. (Or, Singapore courts in action)
05.01
Jerriek Chen Weixiong, 17.
The 17-year-old Jerriek Chen Weixiong gets 9 years in prison and 24 strokes of the cane by the Subordinate Courts [relevant documents] for a student-mugging spree and a violent assault while on bail in 2002.
The case went on to the High Court [relevant documents].
After appeal, the sentence was revised. According to the Honorable Chief Justice Yong Pung How: “Indeed, the sentence imposed by the district judge was, in my view, manifestly inadequate.”
To rectify this mafinest inadequacy, His Honour saw it fit to sentence the 17-year-old to “14 years imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane pursuant to s[ection] 230 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Appeal dismissed.”
More thought-provoking cases from the Singapore Subordinate Courts and the High Court can be found at the Crime and Punishment — Criminal Justice Singapore Style website.
UPDATE 2007-09-27: The original website is no more but you can access the content via Web Archive.
