Looks like the Buzz Game was rollbacked yet another time. I don’t have anything in my portfolio because as part of the rollback they sold everything.

The worst part: Most of the stock I’ve bought is worth something now. In fact at quick glance most of my picks have doubled or tripled in value. But of course I don’t own anything anymore.

The best example: Wordpress 1854 shares purchased at a quarter, now worth $6.59. That’s $12000 in pure profit right there. I’m fed up and I quit this game.

From the Buzz Game FAQ, they recommend me to try these ones now:
NewsFuture.com
Foresight Exchange
Fly on the Mac
HSX

I don’t think I will. I’m playing with Ruby On Rails this weekend and writing something useful.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. A remote control for my iPod. I have one of the Altec Lansing iPod dock with speakers. The dock works and sounds great but it’ll be nice to control it from the comfort of my sofa. The newer docks come with a remote control but I have a older model.

The Lentil Soup was a big success for me. A big reason for this success was a good ready made chicken broth. Most brands of chicken broth have too much sodium in them which tends to overwhelm the flavor of everything else in the dish.

Sigh…..

Felt a little better today. In other news, I’ve gone and done something. Something that I’ve dreaded doing because it felt like a betrayal. Still feels like it. For personal reasons, it might be the right thing for me to do. I’m not sure what the potential fallout and implications of this action will be. If carried to it’s logical conclusion, I hope it’s the right decision for me.

It appears that the Buzz game is up and running again. The virtual fortune I’ve amassed is now back to early Saturday morning level (meaning I have close to zilch dollars).

Needed an extra cup of coffee in the afternoon to keep me going. Hopefully I’ll get over this.

I’m back to work tomorrow. The week off has been good for me. The weeks leading up to it I’ve been feeling rather rundown. The week off has allowed my batteries to recharge.

I’m not good as new but I’ll survive.

This is the latest hippest technology: Transparent LCD screens.

The screens are not actually transparent. Just some really good photograpy. It got me thinking though. Could I tape a camera to my powerbook and drive it to take photos every couple of minutes? With some math and calibration, could I post a “Transparent screen” perfect picture to my desktop every couple of minutes (say 10).

I saw Movable Type become a penny stock so I had to invest my last 38 dollars on it. I probably hit a boundary condition bug because it says my account now has 200 grand.

I’ll wait a day before sending them an email about it. Perhaps it will rectify itself.

If only it were real money…..
