Just want to let you guys know out there I'm not dead (XD) I was just busy.

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

Is Firefox safe?

Hi guys,

Before I start, I would like to remind you that a new update for iTunes 11, iTunes 11.0.1.12 is out. There is a few bug fixes. Update with Apple Software Update app now!

I realized I've been just so off topic recently, so I will write more things that are ON topic. So a lot of people ask this question, Is Firefox safe?

As I am a user of Firefox, one of the few in my year at school, Firefox is recommended in our school, which is a quite a good thing. Firefox (Or Mozilla) is non-profit organization which only gets money from donations, and try to make one of the best browsers in the world, which is one of the main reasons I like Firefox.

Sometimes you don't only judge a good internet browser by it's speed and user number, but by different aspects. Judging a internet browser is a very hard job, because the main purpose is for surfing the internet, no matter if you are using Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox or whatever browser you use.

The important part of a browser is safety, other than speed, user number and user friendliness. Some people (For example, my mom) thinks that Firefox is a very dangerous browser, but is it really one?

I think the people have the wrong idea of thinking Firefox is not safe because they don't know it well. I would say it's actually the safest browser. The Firefox team did not really do a lot of fancy designs on their browser, for example Internet Explorer 9, or Google Chrome, pratically making it faster by not scanning for viruses.

Although Firefox is not a very fast browser, or a very user friendly, but what it always make sure is safety. Looking at the Firefox webpage, there is a whole page just for introducing their security system on Firefox. If you don't believe me, you can check here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/security/

Well concluding, really, Firefox is the saftest browser you can find. And don't forget, they are doing this for free, and they do not get a single penny other than donations. Support Firefox!
