PHEW!

Ok, a few things added today. First of, pecelayam.com (version 4 by now I think lol) is up and running. Link clicky on the right sidebar! The reason I’m so glad is this is actually my first true website where I go down and dirty with the codes.

“What? Why? What do you mean?”

Well, with most websites, thanks to the Internet, many are what I like to call “Frankensite”. With so many different web editor these days, one can simply pull up a ready-to-go template and start plugging away the text. With little modification here and there, it is perfectly legitimate to say “hey, I build this website!”. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with them, no no. The easier it is for people to access these technology, the better it is for the community to grow; so I’m all for it!

More advanced players would actually poke around with the codes. Most people do it for the visual aesthetic, some do it for security, the rest… just get a little curious. Oh, ok, and some do it for work But many of these people, for the sake of efficiency and self-education really, are the main reason I created the term Frankensite. Again, nothing wrong with them (maybe I should think of a different word). Heck, I’m one of them! We tend to use pre-made codes, modify it a little (usually a requirement for most free scripts anyway), install, and voila. In less than 5 minutes, with basic knowledge of editing text and uploading files to your webserver you can have a SQL-based-PHP-powered-CSS styled-RSS-linked script. Wow. All that for a pretty looking blog. Invest an hour or two just browsing, and you can literally teach yourself some PERL and Javascript codes to lock-down your website in ways you didn’t even think possible. And I haven’t even touched on Flash…

And you wonder why there’s such a huge boom on websites in the last decade?

I just watched Evan Almighty. I’ve seen it before, yes, but thought of seeing it again; probably because I was thinking of going to church tomorrow… err.. today…

Then I remembered why I love that movie. How do you change the world? Well according to the movie, its not really about building an ark. In fact, it’s not really about the big final result. It’s about where to start. And it starts with an Act of Random Kindness. An ARK. One ARK at a time.

Now is that neat or what?

And for the more Christian of us, here’s a question: When you pray for God asking for something. Does he just gave it to you, or does he provide an opportunity for you to achieve it?

Now that’s what I call a bullseye.

G’nite folks. And happy Sunday.

It’s the movie that came out like, a month ago or something? Yeah. Watch it. What’s it about? Let me sum to the best of my capabilities…

Politics + American + War + and a buttload of sarcasm humour = fun.

Well, unless you’re a true falsely lead, confused American patriot who thinks Bush jr. is the smartest person in the world, then no… don’t watch this.

Yes. Just watch it. It’s THAT good. I hadn’t had that much fun watching a movie for so long…
