Does anybody know what “Packets” are?

J always checks his Local Area Connection Status window whenever he’s online. He claims that the bigger the packets number, the faster the connection is. However, we both cannot tell what are the factors that limit the packets.

  1. How high will the packet figures go, considering the speed of the connection is 100.0 Mbps?
  2. What does the “speed of 100.0 Mbps” mean anyway?
  3. What causes the packet figures to increase and decrease?
  4. What are the factors that cause our connection speed to decrease? For example, my housemate left his PC switched on overnight – he was downloading something I assumed was a movie – and when I connect to the Internet in the morning, is it normal to assume that the connection speed will be drastically reduced?

Experts, anyone?

Lorelle's Blogging Challenge So, the next challenge from Lorelle is to reveal your favourite sexy blogger. Ooo la la..

But wait a minute.. There are some guidelines, though :)

A sexy blogger can be sexy because, well, they are a sexy person. They can be sexy because they talk about sex, but I think a sexy blogger is one who makes their blogging subject sexy. A sexy blogger is one who is exciting to read, a thrill to communicate with, and one who ignites your �flame�, no matter the subject.

- Lorelle

With that said, MY definition of “sexy” is almost equal to “having a great sense of humour and a big heart”. And in this regard, I think Merv wins hands down.

… But I promise you will get a postcard or I shall fart fire for life.

- Merv

Did you know that he took over Aunt Agony’s job and be the first ever Uncle Agony who helps and slaps people ALL THE TIME??! And have you read how he describes his always-very-eventful bus-rides??

Anyway, I think Merv is sexy because he is d*mn humourous most of the time, at least to me la :

  1. He advices his readers to be careful on how they touch themselves.
  2. He wants a pair of trainer bras for his birthday.
  3. He calls himself a hot, sexy, bootilicious hunk.
  4. He tells stories from the male restrooms (oppps).

And he responded to our call to support Eden Handicap Service Centre, he supported our Blogathon stint, he sends me postcards (hehhehe) and most importantly, he likes ninjas = turtles :)

By the way, have you read his looking-for-a-wife ad? You REALLY should! :)

A lot of attention has been directed to this PayPerPost thingy lately. I mean, everywhere I looked, bloggers are blogging about the ReviewMe website or the PayPerPost website. Or both. Or is it just me?!

Anyway, I visited PayPerPost for the first time a couple of minutes ago – no, no, I’m not writing paid posts anytime soon – and I found myself giggling after reading this:

… We don’t pay in gold, baseball cards, experience points or foodstamps, so please don’t ask. If you don’t have a PayPal account, please get one or don’t sign up.

I am sure they can be as sarcastic (or funny, depending on which angle you are looking at it from) as they would like to because, hey, THEY are giving YOU money to blog! And it does NOT require you to toil under the scorching hot sun! What else can you ask for? *runs away*
