Help SY: take 3 minutes to fill up this survey can? Thanks!

This blog is not dead. Yet.
People who keep tagging and saying this place is dead: Oi! 小心我去haunt你…

The highly lazy sy has finally decided to update the calendar for birthdays.
(She promised that this time the calendar is MUCH more reliable than the previous dumb one she was using - so it SHOULD repeat the birthday events yearly.)
It’s Google，can?
So you should at least check out this blog for birthdays. But the dumb SY is very careless and highly forgetful - so she begs for forgiveness if she has left anyone out.

i reiterate: this place is not dead…
^{SY can’t promise anything much due to her extremely sick schedule (involving a slave driver for a boss, a teacher who exploits her a little too much but still gives her some good opportunities, FFX, Terry Pratchett, Bleach, puking on and tearing up uni and crap applications, the irreversible tendency towards long sentences and an obsession with parentheses…) and hopeless procrastinating. but she’ll try to change the layout. and move to blogspot. which integrates nicely with Google everything. She’ll try…}

Lastly…. Miaow!

No, that wasn’t Sy trying to act cute.

But anyway, that wasn’t the last thing.
SY asked me to introduce RSS.
If you already know what it is, don’t bother reading the rest of this blogpost. If not, continue.
What is RSS?
1. Go to en.wikipedia.org
2. Type RSS into the search engine
3. Read the bloody long article about it.
Okay, fine seriously - it’s something that helps you check when sth (eg blogs) are updated without you actually going to the site to check. So you use a news aggregator/feed reader to grab the RSS feed of blogs/websites, and you only need to check the news aggregator/feed reader to find out which blogs have been updated and preview/read the new article.
which makes your life a whole lot more easier because you don’t need to visit 25 blogs to read the 5 updated ones.
For example, try Bloglines (beta!) and you’ll understand what I mean.
Though of course some browsers also double up to provide the function of news aggregators/feed readers as well, I still find Bloglines more… mobile. (eg. when you’re bored at work…)
^{This technology has been around since … 2001, I believe.
it’s just… i don’t think many people use it.
So… try it!}
