  2. Splendificus and other made up words

    January 14, 2011 by Asim

    For years I’ve always wanted to do that Malcolm X thing of copying out the dictionary and their meanings just to expand my vocabulary. Every time I start I end up wishing I could just copy and paste it instead and give up after the first page.

    I just finished an app for the n900 to access the user created dictionary so I could get into there and delete a few of my stupid attempts at words. When I finally got in there; I actually seriously got shocked by the amount of made up words I use in text messages and emails.

    Brodog, Bromeo, Brostafarion, Homedog, Hunkalicious, Ninja-ing, Splendificus, Ross-tafarian and the countless dozens of various variations on names.

    I need to cut that stuff out and actually finally copy out the dictionary so I can actually use good words rather than making ones up.

    App will be up on freemantle servers at the weekend if you’re on maemo, you should totally get it!

    I'm a solipsistic conspiracy theorist. I'm sure I must be up to something, and I will not stop until I find out what.

  5. Holiday Irks

    January 2, 2011 by Asim

    I do get easily irritated, its a damn irritation. If I have to fly anywhere by the time we land I’m the most irritable dude on the planet. That is all thanks to the fact that I’m afraid of flying. Flight simulator 98 + a flight where the wing caught fire = a nervous passenger. My hatred and fear of flying aside, one thing above all else irritated the hell out of me while I was in Egypt and in Italy earlier last year.

    Hearing the word “facebook” being used in dozens of foreign languages. Everything from Spanish to Finnish to Dutch, I heard so many fellow tourists use the word. It was usually followed with variations on the word profile or update. You’re on holiday, who knows if you’ll ever see or experience what you are doing again? Yet all you are worried about is your damn facebook profile picture and/or status update.

    Facebook is a great tool but its like we’re all becoming slaves to it.
