Yes, I am aware that right now, my blog looks like a piece of shit. I started rewriting the CSS, and stopped half-way through. I'll finish it off some time. :/
edit: gave up and replaced the theme with "k2-black" from this blogger templates site. It's a nice theme, I modified it a bit (I'm not a fan of sidebars). Now I've just gotta fix that bugginess down at the bottom of the page..
Several people I know have complained about the fact that MSN Messenger personal messages seem to "revert" back to what they used to be after a while.
From what I've observed, the personal messages are saved on the computer, NOT on the MSN content servers (like your MSN name and contact list are). I occasionally sign on to MSN using other computers and whenever I do so, I sign on with the MSN personal message I had last time I used them.
Furthermore, the personal message is only actually "saved" when you exit MSN manually. (Again, this is just from what I've observed.) If you shut down the computer, leaving MSN open, MSN usually does not save the PM. Try right-clicking the taskbar icon, then hitting Exit - it should save then. This has worked for me every time I've tried.
Not that I care all that much about MSN PMs, or anything.
MyDeathSpace.com tracks people with MySpace.com accounts as they die, usually through the news (so a lot of people have died of violent causes).
It's really quite disturbing: you get a picture of the person, a copy of the news article describing their death, and a link to their MySpace profile. The profiles are littered with comments lamenting their death but I don't think they'll ever be deleted.
Certainly a disturbing concept - what happens to all the records of you after you're gone? What about those people who have lots of 'friends' (whether or not you consider this a legitimate friendship is up for debate) who you never meet in real life - will they miss you when you're gone?
