I’ve been having exams recently and thus been extremely busy studying for things I should really have been practicing all semester for, FML. Anyway, as always, around this time I got to complaining on exactly how we’re tested on the mastery of various subjects.

I do Computer Science at Maseno University.  Every semester we do on average 8 units. My school has a system that is like this: 30% of your grade comes from the work and C.A.Ts you do during the semester and 70% of your grade comes from the final exam you do at the end of each semester. This is how every single degree in my school is graded: Arts, Sciences and Education.

So last week I was reading my blog feed and came across this startling news in the Business Daily: Policy target internet cafes on war on cyber-crime. Reading the article revealed some rather disturbing details.  

Apparently the Kenya Police in an effort to combat cyber-crime, you know: hacking, copyright and IP theft; wants to make it that every time you use a computer to access the internet at an internet cafe your details are logged. While it wasn’t exactly clear what details they’ll be collecting, they did mention ID numbers and time. They want to do this so that they can tie people to specific computers if they use them to commit a crime.*snorts*

Everyone once in a while, I get an e-mail from another blogger asking if they could write a piece for my blog. Usually I’d ignore them because their e-mail seemed spamming or batch sent. However, I got an email from someone called Imogen Reed, asking if she could write something for me. The thing I like about it was that it seems as if she took the time to write it herself. Anyway after exchanging a few emails about exactly what I’d like for my blog she sent me this story that I now present to you, enjoy…

A little wisdom from my mum this morning:
“The difference between a man and a male is the position and development of his reproductive organ. Whereas a man’s organ grows between his ears, a male’s grows between his legs!”- Rev Chris Atemo

This makes sense on so many levels I was totally blown away!!! My mum has such deep insights, don’t you think? Peace

The other day I was having a conversation with a particularly hot girl friend of mine. While we were talking, something that she said took me by surprise. She said that she isn’t really confident and she’s quite shy!

Well some short background info on this chick is in order. The girl in question is someone with whom everyone wants to hang out with; she has dudes calling her every so often; she models and has appeared in commercials. So with all these qualities, how is she not confident?

So today I read something I wrote a long time ago about a girl I used to like. I don’t know why, but it made me want to write something else, something more. If you have not read this post then there’s no point on reading this. Go read it first (preferably) so you know where this is coming from.

So anyway, I was thinking about the situation with Belinda and how things progressed from there. Remember I had said that I would try to repair my friendship with Belinda? Taking back to the levels of closeness we once enjoyed? Well this is kind of a status report.

I’ve been with Airtel for several years now throughout its various naming changing metamorphosis. Nonetheless, I started out with Safaricom, like most people probably, but I left them some six years ago when I lost my line and they refused to replace it because I didn’t have the sim case thing.

Airtel has always had some of the most competitive rates in the market and usually are the first with the implementation of game changing offers. I’ve stuck with them despite the fact that I’ve been waiting for proper 3G for almost as long as I’ve been with them and also that everyone is on mpesa and you’re not.

So my editor has guilted me in to writing something, he sent me an email talking about lazying about; I replied that as the “talent” I could tell him to jump off a bridge and he said whatever rocks my boat.

He has the unique ability to make me feel guilty for doing something wrong and that’s why I’m glad he wanted to work with me. So I’m writing this post to make sure he doesn’t quit on me. I’m also doing it directly from my phone, something I haven’t doing in forever.

I’d like to apologise for not posting yesterday; I was in such a lazy mood I didn’t leave my room (or bed) the whole day. It was spent just watching a bunch of series and movies my roommate recently gave me, so obviously I was too “busy” to do much else. Anyway, I’ve spent most of the day thinking about what I wanted to post and only just now it hit me; my blogger milestones so far. You guys already know why I started blogging (if you don’t know click on the link). I think I’ve achieved most of what I set out to achieve with this blog. However, there have been some particularly high moments, and that I want to share with you.

Yes, my little blog now has an editor if you can imagine. I like to think of it as a sign of the growing popularity of my work; but in reality it’s probably the result of the frustration of one of my readers at my atrocious grammar and spelling. The problem is, I can never proof read my work once I’ve written my first draft, and I don’t pay attention to the intricacies of grammar and what not when I’m writing.
