Happy birthday. to me!

Today is my 18th Birthday. This essentially means that if you were born after the 11th of July, 1990 (A wonderful year), then you are younger than me. If you were born BEFORE that date, you are older. If you were born ON that date, Happy Birthday! You should probably get yourself a cup of tea to celebrate.

I have, happily, received several wonderful gifts for my birthday. The warm congratulations of a portion of my gratuitously oversized but loving family, some bubble wrap with eighteen one pound coins on it, a cake, some money to spend on clothes, and, of course, an ASUS EeePC.

Unlike my extended family, the EeePC does NOT have mammoth proportions. It is, in fact, about 11 inches from the top left corner to the top right corner. That's VERY small, and it means that carrying it around (in the snazzy sleeve that it comes with) is very easy. It's also light, because of its minuscule size, and it's a bit less easy for me to break, as it has fewer mechanical components than a traditional laptop.

I'm actually sat in bed, keeping my toes warm whilst typing this post. The wonders of technology - it's all very novel to me right now, as up until today I've only ever owned full sized desktop PCs with old fashioned cathoid ray tube monitors.

Well, I'm off to eat some cake! Good bye!

Hello, and Happy birthday!

I'm Susan, of the TechnoSnack's team and I wish to inform you that we are opening a new blog aggregator about Computers & Internet news.
We put it on-line some hours ago and the link is: http://www.technosnack.com.

The main objective of this project is creation of a "virtual dashboard" of posts coming from many specialized blog and information about Computers & Internet world, with news about Linux, Windows, Mac, Open sources, Security, Graphics, Symbian and more on...

The key feature is that news come directly from blogosphere. We wish to show a preview of posts, with a link "Read more..." to signed blogs. If users are interested in news, they are redirected to your blog and can read entire post directly from your blog!

So, the different signed blogs can increase their visibility and reach more visitors, all over the world!

We think that in a little of time it can send more visitors to re gistered blogs, contributing to diffusion of know-how about Computer and Technology world.

I visited your blog and I think it has very interesting and useful posts!

So, are you interested in this idea, with your blog?
If yes, then you can register your blog, using the specific "Registration Form"!

REGISTRATION IS ABSOLUTELY FREE!

The only thing we ask to you is to insert TechnoSNACK banner in your blog to promote this project. Or, if you prefer, you can insert a link in your blogroll.

If you like (we whould be happy, but it is not mandatory :-), you can write a post regarding TechnoSNACK project in your blog, to promote this idea.

Bye!
