Torrent's Code of Ethics..

noreply@blogger.com (Zchen) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:38:00 +0000

Article One

Every man shall upload half of what he downloads, with the saints filling in the rest. It's like tossing back a tiny fish so that it may grow into a great whale...only so we can hunt said whale and feast on its blubber during a later voyage.

Article Two

TV is to be downloaded, movies are to be attended when a man returns to shore. If ye aren't a Neilsen family, what you watch doesn't matter for ratings anyway. Since advertisers pay by rating, it's a theft-less crime. Movies, on the other hand, do see profits of gold and jewels. So support independent/foreign film in the theaters, and save the action flicks with high production values and many beautiful explosions for the big screen, too. Hollywood romantic comedies? They are for plundering (in secret).

Article Three

A man shall steal as much music as he needs to quench his thirst, assuming that he supports the band by attending concerts and buying t-shirts. One should always buy the work of an indie label, however, if the music is deemed pleasant after the new moon, it's time for purchasing.

Article Four

Ye wouldn't be a pirate if ye didn't download Photoshop. But for the office, such manners are frowned upon. Make your employer pay so that others may play. And if a man spends his life building a $10 app, that man has earned his $10. Toss him a coin should you requisition his services.

Article Five

Pornography can keep a man company at sea, but always avoid that dealing with husbandry. Girlfriend sharing is OK, assuming the missus knows she's on the Bay. (We're pirates, not douchebags.)

Article Six

JK Rowling's booty is apt for plundering, but her's is a rare case indeed. If a book be in the library and tis in stock, one could make an argument to download for free. But our conscience dictates that we buy some books to keep good writers in print.

Article Seven

If at any time a man should download a virus, that man must notify the message board immediately. If at any time a man should actively upload a virus, no retributive measure shall be deemed too brutal. An arse becomes fair game for a hook.

Article Eight

After you try it, if you really like it and can afford to do so, buy it.

kudos!

anyways he can empty that bottle in a minute.. hmmm that's fast...

3rd Contestant: talentless-free loader, sorry it's a talent show.. you can't just

got to stage and say you don't have any talents and wishing to grab that tasty jacket.. common!... *crickets*...

WTF!!! ver 2

4th Contestant: Move over Napoleon Dynamite this guy got the geeky groove :)

5th Contestant: The 4 contestans was sooooo bad that they call additional 2 people..

one and only chick on the stage... sang jap song.. nice and clever one...

she waited first to see if she can beat the first 4 contestans before raising her hand to sing...

6th Contestant: a promising talent that got my jaw hanging for approximatelly 45.372 secs...

but the performance is sooooo damn... anothe *crickets*... WTF!!! ver 3

The talent was to throw the duke on the other side of the room..

and run to catch it.. while avoiding it from dropping the floor...

calling his friend to assist him.. gave the "trick"on his talent..

i think he should call his friend.. just let him appear of nowhere and assist him...

he need to go back to humor/trick school 101

It is sooooooo bad that I even recorded it...

Blog Review: A Celebration of Life

noreply@blogger.com (Zchen) — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 07:51:00 +0000

Blog Review: A Celebration of Life

Blog Overview:

23 Years and Onwards: A Toast to Life and Living

Nice:

doesn't have time to read-through the whole blog..

but from the initial perception..

"Aba! seryosong blog '

to.. hehe.. marameng kapupulutang kalokohan..

este aral pala :P"

The layout + header and posts in the main page..

all equates to a "feel good" blog.. I hope you could

put some humor serious + humor + creative equates to a kick ass blog :)

Suggestions:

1. Top

Based from the pic above parang me gap xa in between, I know this is a layout

not sure if this is meant to look like that, but hope you can edit the code

just to tighten that gap.

2. Bottom

Nax Top and Bottom mukhang flexible hehehe :P

anyways OK na xa.. but the disclaimer kinda ruin it..

it's all over the whole blog, you can either fit it at the end

of the left side bar or at end of the main posts, another thing

please make the font smaller, not sure but have this notion

that disclaimer usually are smaller than the other text kinda

they are like those * stuffs you see on the ads like this:

Blog Review: E.X.P.O.S.E.D.

noreply@blogger.com (Zchen) — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 09:59:00 +0000

Blog Review: E.X.P.O.S.E.D.

Blog Overview:

Denim-themed blog that talks about her life.. and some random stuffs in the web

Nice:

nice work on the layout.....

seeng this blog... wanting me to

strip down from my corporate attire..

and wear some comfy jeans + kick ass chuch taylor shoes..

kudos in putting the ads at ung mga anik anik

sa right side... mukhang napaka organize ng sidebars ehh...

Suggestions:

1. I think it's better to maintain 1-2 posts on the main page..

this will prevent over clutter of posts, which might confuse us

which is which, and fewer post on the main page, will provide more

clicks/views on our page, since we're required to click the links

on the "archive" part to view the other posts..

2. I'm kinda annoyed on the "dneero" thingy..

Napa-google tuloy ako kung anong widget un..

hehe.. sabay paid-ad-stuff pla xa.. mejo andame kc nya s main page

kla mo kung anong ano na ung nag loload :)

I guess that bring us to the suggestion #1, maintaining fewer posts

on the main page, will provide less annoying paid-stuff...

Heck! we all want to earn something dba :)
