Keep guessing

I got a MacBook (black), and a 300GB HDD! The MB is actually better than I expected it to be, (I don’t really know what I expected though!)

Since I bought it in Japan, there was actually a 7-10 day wait for my model. (I’m using a US keyboard, which isn’t standard in Japan). But the store I was at had one in stock! (I originally wanted a 120gb hd, but i didnt want to wait, so mine has a 80gb hd. So instead I got a 300GB external hd. We also bought a seperate 1gb ram (which was like $150, the same model and company in america costs $170)…

Hm… I am a happy man this week (so far)

Meh, I got bored of my old theme, so I’ve started to work on a new one. You guys are going to be seeing the progress of it for now, lol…

So, I want to have a way to archive all of the sites I go to so that I can look at them later on, and MM3-WebAssistant is the best way to do it.

How it works: The software is actually Java, so it can work on any OS. Basically, it asks you where you want it to keep a cache of all the sites you go to, and then it acts as a proxy, so you setup your browser to go to a port that it designates. That way whenever you go to a site, it keeps a local copy of it on your hard-drive.

Features: The personal edition just lets you keep a local copy of things… not that great, but the Pro edition lets you view what you have locally, and lets you search it! (It only costs like $30 for a lifetime license and 2 years of updates).

One interesting thing is you can view how much data you consume just by looking at websites. In just 3 hours I have 300 MB of websites. (That’s mostly just TEXT!) Pretty cool eh?

I’ve begun using Japan’s version of MySpace called Mixi. I actually like MySpace better… well one major factor is the fact that I can read everything. The other is that it’s more customizable and has more features.

One thing I think Mixi beat MySpace at, was the fact that you need to be invited to use Mixi, where as MySpace you can just join. (So think of it as Japanese Orkut version of Myspace… lol)
