Office 365

Hey,

I don't know what is going on, but really, the point of this thing was really useless.

MICROSOFT OFFICE 365.

I used to preview before, but really, there is not much difference with 2010. The fact that really, you have buy the 365, is really useless. Because a lot of people have the installation for the preview.

I will follow up later on the updates on that thing.

UPDATES:
The Office 365 plan is that there is a $100 subscription per year. You can install it at most on 5 PC AND  Macs, which means Microsoft is giving up Office for Mac. Good thing or bad thing? Don't think it is a good thing.

As Microsoft is introducing a new payment system, but I doubt that a lot of people would switch to 365. I won't either.

Office 365 looks exiting, but really, it's not worth it. I am not paying $100 US Dollars per year just for cloud storage and a similar interface, just a bit of tweak for the Metro interface.

Would you buy the Office 365? Leave a comment below!

Why Tumblr is bad (In my opinion)

Hey guys,

ICT project update: We have finished our final editing process, and next week, our final lesson, we will be watching the other groups videos, a lesson we can sit back and do nothing. I will ask Candy for the video so I can post it on Youtube to show it to you guys. 

11 days since there was a new post, I was a quite busy with homework this week, and just some normal stress. I'm fine.

Today I am here to talk about a bit of a controversal subject between bloggers: Tumblr. Tumblr turned famous in the past 2 years, and it is still growing. Reaching 1 Billion pageviews 4 months ago, was a big milestone to Tumblr.

I personally don't use Tumblr, because of one reason: The system is very confusing. That's why I stuck with Blogger.

Tumblr is known for its bad customer support, and it's unstable servers. A lot of people have reported to me, saying that from time to time that their blog is not even accesible. My first reply is: What the hell?

Also, it's design is so confusing. I cannot seem to navigate around some blogs, taking an example of my friend's blog. I just cannot seem to find my way through. Can you?


Look at the stuff. What does those photos of products mean? I just have no idea.

Although I know that this is a theme, but who uses such a confusing one? I see a lot of blogs use this kind of themes, which is just not suitable for a blog.


Also, the following system is very confusing, no one in my class who use Tumblr, can tell me the following system means, because it is so confusing. Unlike Blogger or ANY other Blogging systems, their following system is very simple, you follow or you don't.

So, after reading this, would you use Tumblr? I swore that I will never use Tumblr, trust me.

The future of this blog

Hi guys,

I am not sure about this, but as looking at the future of this blog, it does not look very good. As I am always busy with work, and also dealing with pressure with Vanessa and Colleen and the lack of viewers of this blog, I don't think I can continue this blog for very long.

Very soon, this blog may need to close down, and cease operations. At least I can last until I finish my ICT project with my partners, which would be done in 3 weeks time, and maybe thats the time I will consider closing it down.

I hope you all can understand the fact that I am in Year 9, and it is the time where I have a lot of work, tests, exams, and even choosing subjects I want to take for GCSE. As I am moving on to Year 10 later this year, there will be even less time to update this blog, as already I realized, it is already pretty slow in updating.

As I am also dealing with my private issues with Vanessa and Colleen, it is very stressfull sometimes, as I really just want to sit back and just have a rest.

Although there is a lot of potential for this blog, a lot of things I can improve, but as I am pretty busy and full of pressure, I think I cannot continue.

It is sad to see this blog go, as I put a lot of work on this blog.

I am maybe abandoning this blog, and I will tell you that there will be no updates anymore, but you can still see the past posts. Maybe I might leave this blog to someone, for example Vanessa, or my good friend Marco, so this blog can live on, but I don't think that would happen.

Never give up your dreams, if I really do close down this blog, do not be like me, always stay strong, whatever problems you face.

Finally, I will leave you a quote:
Being sorry does not mean anything if you don't change your actions or ways - Colleen Yuen.

Don't do anything that will make you say sorry, which I do all the time. The worst thing is that I never change.

Just don't be like me.

Thanks guys,
Larry
