I posted two days ago about how the alarm on my iPod Touch randomly stopped working, and shared some information I found online about how they’ll resume working on January 3. Apparently, for some people, they’re still not working. I don’t know about mine for sure, because I set an alarm on neither yesterday nor this morning, but I guess I’ll find out tomorrow when I do set an alarm.
Quote of the Day
A friend of mine named Callum Macrae told me a few days ago over Skype,
Callum: I just noticed that your lightning in the background changes colour
Parkzer: …
Parkzer: You JUST noticed that?
Parkzer: -______-‘
Parkzer: How long have you been reading my website?
Callum: I’ve been browsing for about 2-3 months
Parkzer: My dynamic background is usually the first thing people notice about my website…
Picture of the Day
Where’s the Vet?
I brought my dog to the veterinarian’s office yesterday and took this picture from my iPod Touch while waiting for the veterinarian to return after getting some information from the back room.
Yes, that is a slice of my face in the top-left corner.

Topic #5: Do you prefer to talk, text message, or a different communication method?
I dislike talking on my cell phone, and I don’t even have a text messaging plan, so I definitely prefer a different communication method.
Talking and texting can interpreted differently now, however – I am fine with talking online via voice or video chat, and I am also fine with text messaging from my computer. This is generally because I have to give consent to initiate a voice or video chat, and I don’t necessarily have to respond to text messages until I want to, so it ensures that nobody is interrupting something I’m doing as is the situation when I receive a phone call.
My most preferred way of communication is actually email, because it’s less disturbing to what I’m doing at any given moment. It is also easier to keep track of what I have completed and what I still have to do, thanks to GMail’s feature-full interface. Many people are hesitant to send emails about important topics because they feel the general population does not place as much importance to their emails than phone calls, but I am the other way around and make sure all my emails are tended to promptly.
