Vickiepedia is Slightly More Awesome

Torn between finishing typing the blog entry on porn and starting to write one of the eight university essays due on various dates within the next 7 weeks, I compromised by doing neither, but made Vickiepedia look more or less the same on IE5, IE5.5 and Firebird 0.7 as well instead. Yeah, the site should now work on those browser versions.
I can’t quite decide whether I love or hate you, Vickie, you moron.
Optus Sucks (or Vickie is an Idiot) (or Both)*
posted on Sunday, August 24, 2008 @ 3:08 pm
Like many unsuspecting foreigners who tried to get their own phone line and an acceptable broadband connection in Australia, Vickie, after some research, stupidly went with Optus’ phone line. Surely as a competitor, Optus would provide all of what Telstra could provide… or so she thought. (But they do offer an online sign-up with even their cheapest plan, which is really nice to people who have a phone anxiety like yours truly. (Don’t worry, nobody else who knows about this takes my anxiety seriously either.))
Apparently, however, with Optus’ phone line you’re pretty much stuck with Optus’ ADSL plans or nothing, which, of course, the company never mentioned or hinted because they want to sell their own overpriced products. What also irked me was that none of my Australian computerphile and technophile friends who heard about my plan of getting a new connection seem to be aware of this, or didn’t think it was necessary to warn me at all. No, it’s not their fault; I just want to blame someone, okay? THIS IS MY BLOG!
Anyway… Now I’m practically down to 5 options:
-
Continue to share the connection with the landlord’s family and let the phone line die after 12 months, all the while try not to kill the landlord’s son, and try not to let the landlord’s son kill me; or
-
find an affordable, i.e. non-existent, cable plan; or
-
go with Optus’ Internet plans, which is way out of budget and essentially a rip-off; or
-
cancel the phone line for a $200 fee, sign up with Telstra for $300, then sign up with the ISP of my choice; or
-
build a time machine and try to stop my past self from signing up with Optus.
None of which, unfortunately, particularly appeals to me.
Or maybe I really need to just GTFO of this otherwise fine country.
*Warning: This is a long, rambly rant entry. (At least I warned you somewhere!)

This would have been the porn entry I mentioned 3 entries, 22 days ago, except lately, something has been troubling me.
Friend #1 sends pictures of Muscovy Ducks to Vickie.
Vickie: How do you tell the ducks apart?
Friend #1: Male ducks have a redder face.
Vickie: Female ducks are cuter than the male dicks.
Vickie: DUCKS
Friend #2 goes online.
Vickie: I’m bored.
Friend #2: Oh.
Vickie: I’m going to sperm your Facebook profile.
Vickie: SPAM
Man, what’s going on with my brain? Erm… Boy, what’s wrong with me? Dude!
ENGLISH, WHY MUST YOU WORK AGAINST ME?!
Version 10: Upside Down

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it hasn’t even been a year yet and Vickiepedia already has a new layout. GASP! I know. Like all past layouts, this version can be viewed with background images disabled, all images disabled, CSS disabled, most modern browsers and any screen resolution from 1024×768 up. Remember, 90s is the new 80s, 800×600 is the new 640×480.
Food stain on the keyboard has been photoshopped out. But that fluffiness on the side of the I and 9 keys? I don’t know what they are. I didn’t dare to zoom in.
穎琪 would be my Chinese given name. I’m just that cool.
But I forgot to eat dinner.
Alternative version names: Bad Hair Day; Shiny Forehead; I’m Holding a Blue Cup?; There’s a Male Bum Behind Me; See, Even My Keyboard is Cooler than Yours.

Related:http://vickiepedia.org/ = Japanese, Japanese, Japanese. How, Google, are our sites related? Do we Asians all look the same to you? Is that so? Huh? Huh?
Google, you have a lot of explaining to do! 
Up next some day: the entry on porn that I downloaded a virus for. (Wow, déjà vu.)
