CrunchGear is running a contest right now to win an unlocked Nokia N95. So go vote for my contest entry (and post a comment on it), please! 😀

Also, my Gmail account now has the updated version of Gmail enabled on it. It’s not really different, there’s a few cosmetic adjustments, and permalinks, but that’s all right now. But, I’m sure we’ll see new Gmail features soon (that was the whole point of the update, to change the code for it to make it ready for new stuff that will come soon).

Update [November 8, 2007 @ 10:55 PM]: Oh, I forgot to mention that the Contacts section in Gmail had a overhaul. There’s a lot nicer looking and easier to navigate through.

The Gmail space counter was slowed back down it appears, so my estimate of having 5 GBs of space by October 28, was smashed… Still getting closer though (as of writing, it’s at 4750 MBs).

I’ve removed some of the stuff that wasn’t particularly useful from the sidebar, and I changed the number of posts that’s displayed on the front page from 10 to 5. This is so that the site loads faster. The new theme will be even faster.

Here’s a new Poll. If you’re reading this in a Feed Reader, vote on the poll by clicking here.

Welcome to Random Blurbs: Sept. 30. Random Blurbs posts will be like speedlinking posts, except different. 😛

Michael Kwan has wrote a post on tips for first-time job hunters, which is fairly specific to me. After I emailed him about tips for making a Resume for someone who has never had a job before (eg: me), he said that he’d write up a post on it, and he did. Thanks, Michael.

BlueFur Code is completely inactive right now, so Gary has “hired” me to make it active and essentially manage it. Starting tomorrow, I will be working on it to make it more active and to get people to join in on the coding fun. If you’re interested in doing to Group Programming Projects, keep an eye on the BlueFur Code Blog.

Vote on the new Poll. There’s a new Poll this week asking whether you use a Desktop or Laptop computer… or both! Vote on it here.
