Facebook Account 切腹

Why the hell have I bothered with it for the last year or so?

I guess the last day or so has been a bit of an epiphany, where I realised Facebook really is a pile of shite!
I mean really, what’s the point of the stupid applications which people waste their time playing on (come on, surely there are more interesting things to do), the aquisition of ‘friends’ who aren’t really your friends (who you never kept in touch with after school, why is Facebook any different) etc etc.

So, today, the process of Facebook Account 切腹 (Seppuku) has started.
Since I don’t trust Facebook to clean up properly, I guess I’ll pollute my account with junk for a month or so, before finally ‘deactivating’ the account.
Also, since Facebook are spoil-sports and banned things like Seppukoo and Web 2.0 Suicide Machine, I’ll have to do this the long winded manual way.

PS: Family, real friends etc…. don’t worry. I’m not ‘real-life’ suicidal, just Facebook life suicidal.

Updates

Not really had a chance to update this blog recently, got other things on the go. Anyhooo, blog software has been updated to WordPress 2.8

I’m currently waiting for Adobe to release an update to Camera RAW and Lightroom so that it supports the Canon 500D camera (which I brought when we were out in Japan at the end of April). Once they’ve done that, I can finally finishing processing the remaining photos from our two week trip to Japan.

… and since I will have all my photos sorted, I suppose a blog post will be in order telling the tale of our journey to Japan.

Japanese with Russian Accents

Hmm, fancy a bit of war-gaming? How about a bit of rewriting Pacific Theatre of WW2 with the Japanese winning. Then Battlestations:Pacific is your game.

The only issue is, why the f**k are the Japanese speaking English in ‘Russian’ accents!!!! I mean, I’d much prefer Japanese with English subs, but if you really must have English speech, then get the accent right!
