Innit, My Playground

I'm tickled.


I know I haven't exactly been on top of things of late, when it comes to the upkeep and maintenance of Tinki Talks. Have just been really busy (more like totally overwhelmed) with stuff at work so... that kinda automatically means (1) no more 6-posts-a-day-styled blogging, (2) no more deep thoughts or artificially intellectual monologues, and definitely (3) no more self-answered rhetorical questions.


But then I caught sight of this just minutes ago.




Haha. Thrilling.

How odd (but pleasantly surprising) that my name
still balloons even when I've so little time to blog.

Not that I'm complaining, of course. =p

lol~

– I was told that it's got nothing to do with readership... or something of that sort. And I don't have that many readers. Not uniques. Most of my readers are returning visitors. The nice ones whom you always see on my comment pages. =p

amb3r1te said...

oh... like me! *damn perasan*

Pam Song said...

ATTN: amb3r1te
– Haha. Aren't we all? =p Same same lah. I wish I had more visitors. Now I'm hovering around the same numbers. Like... Not growing daily. Certain days of the week high, then certain days are predictably lower a little.

check this out, it's the new online photoshop. It's called Photoshop Express.

http://www.photoshopexpress.com/

The best part is... it's free!

lolz.. 80 posts in march so far wor.. jan sumore got 120 posts!! lolx.. u deserve having ur name there la!! hahahaha

Pam Song said...

ATTN: luxen
– Wah! Not bad huh? I like some of the pictures there!!! Am still browsing. But... I dun get why I should edit my pics there and not in my own comp. Hmmm. Still need to read up more about it. Thanks for the link to it, though!!! Will definitely see what it can do. Sounds pretty cool.

p/s: The free part sounds good, too. =p


ATTN: joshuaongys
– Haha. 80 compared to 120 is a big difference. 1/3 missing! Just means that I'm 1/3 busier this month than I was last month. =p

you friend friend with our Innit programmer one issit??

I guess for the American market its a big thing, they don't have 'access' to software like us Malaysians. I think most savvy Malaysian PC users would have access to photoshop CS3 and know how to use it in Malaysia.

Over there in the US, the average user would only have access to photoshop elements at most. So, a free version that is online and easy to use would be a bonanza for them.

I think a lot of Flickr users would consider switching to it as it also provides 2G hosting service.

– Haha. Believe me when I say that I wish I had friends in high places. =p Unfortunately, not all wishes come true.


ATTN: luxen
– Ooo, yeah! I didn't consider the whole licensing aspect. Good observation. I guess piracy does have its perks, huh? =p

luxen said...

huh? what piracy ah?

*pretend don't know*

I think another plus side is to edit pictures on the move. Their Adobe Express is flash based so in theory it should work on mobile internet devices. You wouldn't need a laptop which meets photoshop hardware requirements.

If you have a PDA, you could theoretically edit your photos and post it online. No more having to carry around a 3KG laptop.

Facebook and blogging addicts would love it, you could edit photos in a bus; in the toilet; and while at a concert.

Anyway, wouldn't it be nice to finally use a legit software? When ever people ask how you did that photo effect... shy only want to say photoshop because tak halal one.

sheon said...

err..congrats? wah, we all nice ones leh? hehehe....

ok, i like blogs that are :-
1) KISS, kennysia.com is simple, xiaxue is too complex for me.
2) has a good writer-reader interactivity, pinkpau interacts with her readers readily, nicolekiss used to, but not anymore
3)and of coz, interesting entries, either good writing skills, or interesting topics/issues being blogged

tinkitalks scores Aces for #1 & #2, and an A- for #3. :) my honest opinion. that's why i'm a regular. plus, of coz...she's pretty darn cute. :P

piracy....sigh. programmers and movie makers should bring down their prices drastically. the sales volume would make up for the narrowed profit margin.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: luxen
– Haha. I also dunno what piracy. =p Anyway, my Photoshop legit wan. So I no shy talk about it. Haha.

But it's true. Being able to churn out nice pictures WITHOUT a personal comp with Photoshop IS good for a journalistic blogger. I tested out the functions. They make photoshopping so simple!!! Click here, click there, tada! Done. Only you have less control lah. But... Good enough for blog pichas.

Honestly, I have a PDA but I don't use it. My dad's a tech junkie and he's got all the gadgets lah. But... I just didn't grow up a fan of all that. I love my laptop and I think if I have to choose between carrying it around or editing pichas on my PDA, I'd go for the former. A bit old school lah me. -_-


ATTN: sheon
– Haha. Uh, thanks? =p

Wait. XiaSue is complex?!? We reading the same blog or what?

And I don't write interesting topics? =( Sniff.

And I agree. If prices went down a little, I probably wouldn't mind paying for the real thing.

joshuaongys said...

i'm pretty sure im not as busy as u but my posts this month reach 45 only lolx.. so i really wonder how u have time posting so many posts!!! haha

Linora 'Aronil' Low said...

sheon: oohhho so that why so regular . really nothing else ah :P

BTW whats happening on sat laa??

sheon said...

pam..not not-interesting lar. its like...a 19" flat panel monitor is good, no grounds for complaints, but....there is a 22" just within your reach.... *scratches head*

xiaxue....complex becoz i dun like her sidebars. too distracting, too commercialised.

aronil: saturday DINNER!!! hey, i am consuming my precious AL leh.. i hear somebody (yatz?) saying we're meeting up at friendster-curve ah?

luxen said...

I just when through the website's technical specs. Looks like photoshopexpress runs on flash player 9. PDA's only run up to flash player 7, even then this is beta only.

So no editing on photoshopexpress on PDA anytime soon. Still need a laptop for it.

Have a PDA but don't use it? What model, I'm looking to buy one too. I saw O2 Atom Exec for sale at RM1099 only. Would be a nice to have around while I'm waiting. Can surf internet.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: joshuaongys
– Haha. I just less than double yours only wat. So means when you write one, I write two lor. =p It's not that much when you look at it that way. Haha.


ATTN: Aronil
– Ish. What nonsense you talking about already.

Sat sat sat.


ATTN: sheon
– Hmmm. Need to bump up my post quality. This is like assignment and homework, wei! Grrr.

Oh, I dun like XiaXue's sidebar also. It's like the classifieds, man! Haha.

Eh, this Saturday's dinner dun wan so late can? Maybe 6.30 meet then head over so that can eat by 7?
Ok? You jadi middle man for us to liase lah. Now like very kelam kabut. I also dunno what's happening di. Haha.


ATTN: luxen
– That's why they've put it up during Beta stage. For ppl to use and suggest better upgrades. Suggest the PDA thingy lor.

I have the Tungsten T3. No phone capabilities. Just a PDA. But's it's small and compact. Very... girlie.

sheon said...

of coz can...hahaha, call you guys..err..girls later.. ok?

not assignment lar...dun put it that way lar.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: sheon
– Haha. Ok lah. You update.

Linora 'Aronil' Low said...

Heheh you know i love to tease :P Sat ok time time time? Cause will be rushing from joe's class and could be super tired.
