nektros - Cynicism in a Hot Dish

About the author

Avatar of site authorHi. I'm Yvonne Tran.

You can find me around the web via this avatar. One day, its inexplicable peppiness shall be explained.

  • I email via yvekvt [at] gmail [dot] com.
  • I post extra links and thoughts on my Tumblr page.
  • I have come crawling back to Twitter yet again, and may be getting addicted to the downtime-happy thing.
  • Stumbleupon will always be my first home, cyberslacking wise.
  • Although procrastinating on Digg and Reddit is good, too.

About the site

nektros deals mainly with my personal diatribes in relation to such myriad interests as playing paintball with coworkers using ice-cream cones and crying when they refuse to join in and instead choose to point out that you're the only one with an ice-cream cone and did you fail to notice that's honeycomb in vanilla and how could you waste that, you bitch?

The site has been my sole Internet home since 2006. Due to a database error – okay, a me-fiddling-with-database-error – the posts written since then up to March 2008 have vanished. This may or may not be the most awesome thing ever.

The even more awesome power of Textpattern runs everything here, because someone had too much time on their hands last summer holiday and, luckily, it trounces that other CMS I haven't been able to remember how to use since my brain shut down at the very notion of database-based template files and, oh yeah, everything else to do with Textpattern's learning curve, and yes, I'm kidding, and you should get it now, you awesome person.

Much thanks is also due to the folks at Jumba.

And here endeth the spiffy about page ... with a quote:

"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."

– George Bernard Shaw
