Words fail me.
stuff I should have mentioned
Posted by Nafisa on Feb 18, 2010 in meme
Got this tag from Hamish. It’s a list of stuff that I should have mentioned to my husband before I got married. You know, the quirks, or whatever you want to call it.
1. I don’t like eating broken Marie biscuits.
2. When I’m upset and say “I’m okay” – I’m not really okay.
3. If I do admit to not being okay, I don’t like talking about it.
4. I can be OCD at times (you should see me butter my toast).
5. I hate doing dishes and laundry.
6. I flip channels and try to follow 2 programs at once.
7. I get distracted easily.
8. I forget to put the milk back into the fridge.
9. I forget to switch off appliances sometimes (I know what you’re thinking).
10. I can get *very* competitive at games and hate losing.
11. When I cook, I don’t like being distracted or want help.
12. When I don’t have food in my stomach, I’m the biggest grouch (you can only imagine what I’m like in Ramadaan).
That’s all I can think of right now.
tweet my mac

I came across this service via Lifehacker that lets you control your Mac via Twitter. It grabs screenshots for you, tells you what your IP address is, starts torrents remotely and can shut down your Mac, amongst other things. It is recommended you create a separate account for this and protect the updates, unless you want anyone to control your machine.
I gave it a quick test to see if it actually works. I just had to; and these were the replies I got:
So it passed the test but I don’t think it something I’d use because my Mac goes home with me. Best if you use one at the office and forget to logout or need it to perform certain tasks, which can be found here with a list of commands.
it’s a gem
Earlier today I visited a new store called Rhinestone Cowboy in Craighall Park with the Single Syllable. The store has been open for 6 days as of today, so you might not have heard about it but it’s an absolute gem.
It is a mixture of geeky cool, funky, fashion, jewellery and accessories. Read more…
easiest pancake recipe ever
Posted by Nafisa on Jan 17, 2010 in food
I’ve been craving pancakes with Nutella for a while now and decided after waking up late today, that I’m gonna make some. After a quick search on Food24, I found a recipe which I adapted a little. You don’t get easier than this:
