DannyJr's Comments

I'm not the sharing type so I never bothered getting a real Facebook account. I have an account but it's a fake identity and name, and I use it to post comments on other blogs or to access certain restricted Facebook content. Same with Twitter, I just use a fake name.

Lies! I never spent more than 20-30 minutes to download an mp3 file! But since internet connections were too buggy back then, we had to use GetRight, the first popular download manager.

And while IRC was great fun, and I remember using voice chat over IRC, but it was too nerdy for many people. So instead we used ICQ for messaging/chatting. Or we join internet forums/discussion boards to correct other people who were wrong, of course. And there were also newsgroups and e-groups (before it became yahoogroups).

It is true that many sites were hosted in Geocities, but some are hosted in Tripod or Angelfire. And a good number were hosted in university servers. But yeah, most sites worth going to (anime character shrines, remember those?) were in Geocities.

And I liked the screeching sound of modems negotiating protocols with servers.

Gawd, I've been surfing the information superhighway for 20-odd years! I am old!

HIMYM ending should get 0 stars. It is an absolute cop-out, a finale that undid one of the best turn-around character transformation on TV, just so that the boring, least likable protagonist gets the girl in the end.

I'd take the Dexter ending any day.

All he needs is to listen to Metallica's Call of Ktulu, The Thing That Should Not Be, and All Nightmare Long. He'll be back to his evil ways pretty soon.

I have eighteen years of industrial experience (manufacturing and contracting) and I have seen, first hand, some of these accidents.

A machine operator lost fingers when he stuck his hand far too close to a heavy machinery's moving parts.

Contract workers have fallen from high places because they were too lazy to wear safety harnesses or other fall restraint system. One broke a leg, another his pelvis.

One worker lost an eye when he shoved a two hundred kilogram oil drum on a wheel trolley and it snapped back so hard the handle hit him on his temple and popped his eyeball loose.

Another crushed his fingers when he was moving another 200kg oil drum and it fell on his hand.

Lastly, a one-time subcontractor of ours was working for another company. His team was painting the interior of a cistern tank when a spark (probably from someone smoking nearby) ignited the fumes, causing an explosion in the tank. The sub-contractor and five of his employees (relatives, really) died.
