Iblawg Needs a Favour

Look, I have a webcam here with me. But not the CD/disk that came with it (it’s lost, ok). So I don’t have the driver or user manual; I don’t even know its brand. Don’t ask. Here’s how it looks like:

So if you somehow know where to get the driver, I’d appreciate it if you could drop me a line. Tell me if you’ve seen it before (this webcam), or your friend has it (or something similar), or you know its brand or where to get the driver online – whatever. I’ve tried searching but they didn’t work.

Anyone who provides an information that leads to the successful installation of the driver will be rewarded… with a webcam-snapshot of an undisclosed body part of mine. Naw I’m just kidding. You’ll get 10 brownie points. If the driver’s contained in a CD and you decide to deliver it to my doorstep you’ll get 75 extra brownie points. Yeah.

Common Errors in English

Good things must be shared, right. Ever had any English-related questions but realized that it’s too late to ask your secondary school English teacher anymore? Introducing Common Errors in English. Before I stumbled upon this site, I relied heavily on sites like Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster Online. Heck, I even search the exact string on Google and see if other people are writing the same way as I am.

CEE points out common errors and explains them. For example, when using “I/ME/MYSELF”. What are the differences between them? Do you say “Mary and I” or “Mary and me”? Well I must thank Mayling for ‘educating’ me on this, a few weeks ago. Another common confusion is the usage of “GOT/GOTTEN”. So “gotten” is the past participle of “get”, you say. But sometimes either can be used. There’s an explanation for this, and boy was I ‘enlightened’! Check it out!

Word of the Month: Haze

If you must ask, the WOTM for last month was “marginalise”. Anyway, I found something interesting on the DOE’s website today.

How un-Malaysian Are You?

Congratulations Iblawg, you are 13% not Malaysian.

That means you’re as Malaysian as…

Abdullah Badawi !

How Un-Malaysian Are You?

Holy smoke.

That’s scary, dude. I’m as Malaysian as the PM, man. It doesn’t get any more Malaysian-er than this.

Iblawg’s Idea of Multitasking

No of course I don’t prolong such a ’strenuous activity’ :p.

Dictionary.com Update

Everybody’s favorite site, dictionary.com has got a fresh new look.

I drop by this site very frequently. But the ads are a little annoying. Sometimes the ad banners take so long to load, resulting in very long loading time. Usually I just hit the Refresh button.

Neeways… this new look, me likey. Iblawg always welcomes changes.
