Think of 3 pictures you'd like to see. Things around my house, or whatever…something I can take a picture of easily. Once I have enough requests, I'll start posting them. If I can't, or won't, take a picture of something you've requested, I'll let you know.

You have til 09/31/04. I'll do anything up to nudity. If that's requested, I'll personally send you some files*

lat3ntNET will be redirecting to this domain name from now on, so people who linked me, please change your url to reflect the new site.

As with the change came my layout. It should validate XHTML 1.0 strict and have validated CSS. This layout is optimized for Firefox and IE (yes I know). Opera users, tough luck :-

Keep them short and sweet1

I forgot where I read it but somewhere on some site on this big ol' internet some dude suggest as a good thing for reader is to keep things short and sweet. Let's do that.

Ria of typedby.com recently released her new layout, too freaking bright. And it is….too freaking bright, but I love it. Oh cool, I just noticed the top of the site has the name of her site color dodged into the blocks.

It's saturday night, my plans were cancelled so I sit here eating In-N-Out while watching Hellboy. It entertained me for 2 hours but now that I am done I sit here…blogging. Whoop de do. Anyways, I been sign up people for hosting like crazy. I'll update the list when I have time.

I don't have anything else to say so I guess I'll end this blog………..now.

Or now.

It’s a chore.6
chris lin posted in Personal on September 11th, 2004

Blogging is like a chore to me now. Use to be fun and all but now I have to get off my butt to get on and tell the world what happened within the last few days. I do it partly because in the future, I like to read my old posts and think of the stupid things I have done and because it is a way to entertain my reads. So on with my post…

I went up north to visit my cousin and her husband during labor day weekend and it was quite fun. I love going visiting them, it is so relaxing there. Plus, their bed and showers are awesome. That Saturday I went to play golf with her husband and his friend. I didn't do too well but I corrected my golf swing and form even more with the tips they gave me. It was hot though, since our tee time was at 11~ and we played until 3PM in 100+ F temperature. We had a BBQ later that night and I got to try some of my cousin's OH SO DELICIOUS HOMEMADE CHEESECAKE. It was funny, like the people we had it before didn't like it as much but the people who tried it for the first time LOVED it. We then played some taboo where our team won (and the other team demanded a rematch so we didn't care and lost) and shoved it in their faces.

On Sunday we just didn't do much, I played with Elise and noticed how much she has grown. She also could partially say my name, since it is hard for her to pronounce the R sound she says like "chesh." I went shopping in the afternoon at Union Square and got 5 tops and a pair of shorts at Old Navy for 85$. I love you Old Navy, your sales are awesome. Had some italian food for dinner than went home and slept like a baby.

Oh, I just noticed it's 9/11 also. Obligatory tears will fall from these eyes.

Boost your rankings1
chris lin posted in Site Updates on September 7th, 2004

There are by some estimates more than a million weblogs. But most of them get no visibility in search engines. Only a few “A-List” blogs get into the top search engine results for a given topic, while the majority of blogs just don’t get noticed. The reason is that the smaller blogs don’t have enough links pointing to them. But this posting could solve that. Let’s help the smaller blogs get more visibility!

This posting is GoMeme 4.0. It is part of an experiment to see if we can create a blog posting that helps 1000’s of blogs get higher rankings in Google. So far we have tried 3 earlier variations. Our first test, GoMeme 1.0, spread to nearly 740 blogs in 2.5 days. This new version 4.0 is shorter, simpler, and fits more easily into your blog.

Why are we doing this? We want to help thousands of blogs get more visibility in Google and other search engines. How does it work? Just follow the instructions below to re-post this meme in your blog and add your URL to the end of the Path List below. As the meme spreads onwards from your blog, so will your URL. Later, when your blog is indexed by search engines, they will see the links pointing to your blog from all the downstream blogs that got this via you, which will cause them to rank your blog higher in search results. Everyone in the Path List below benefits in a similar way as this meme spreads. Try it!

Instructions: Just copy this entire post and paste it into your blog. Then add your URL to the end of the path list below, and pass it on! (Make sure you add your URLs as live links or HTML code to the Path List below.)

I am gone for this weekend6
chris lin posted in Personal, Site Updates on September 2nd, 2004

I will be up in San Francisco visiting my rich cousin and her adorable little baby (not so little) this Labor Day Weekend. That's pretty much all I have to say, I will be bringing my Powershot A80 and taking lots of pictures. Someone requested a picture of their HUGGEEE house and I will do that also. Not much to say since my thoughts are sort of clouded with other things now. If possible, comment with what you are doing Labor Day Weekend, even if it's crying at home since you have nothing to do. I will do my best to comfort you.

As for my site, I am changing my domain name to http://a.trendyname.org. Right now, it shows nothing but when I am ready, lat3nt.net will redirect to the new site with this, in my opinion, kicking new layout. Also, I made a wallpaper when I was bored yesterday, I will finish it up and post it later.

Also, hosting….well, I am much lighter on rejecting now. So most likely, anyone who joins will be accepted unless your coding/design is atrocious.
