How to Please a Woman

This week, a friend from India asks:

Tell me, what all do gals really expect in sex?

First, I have to say that if you’d like to have sex with a woman, one thing to avoid is calling us “gals.” It’s somewhere between “girls” and “chicks,” and I think it’s a term better left for women to refer to each other – “I’m going out with the gals tonight” or “Don’t wait up, me and the gals are going to a strip club.”

Learn It From Lexy – Lexy’s Laws [zz]

Lexy’s Laws

Last week, one of my readers wrote about ending an online relationship that he had started with a young woman in another country. I briefly answered his question, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it needed to be discussed in depth. In his letter, he asked me to include in my column, “never, never start a relationship without seeing the other person’s face.” This is certainly good advice, but it only scratches the surface of the joys and pitfalls that the Internet has added to relationships and dating.

Gmail Never Disappoints Us

That’s the truth. Gmail always surprised us, and they never disappointed us too.

Today, when I was checking the “junk” emails from my high school classmate, I found a new feature added by Gmail that I should say Great!.

Everyone knows that when you receive an email that contains a lot of pictures (that a junk email usually does), it is not very convenient to view them with Gmail’s interface. You have to click on them one by one and view them in a lot of Internet Explorer windows.

Click on the thumbnail below for more details:

I remember that I have mentioned that in their official feedback survey form. I just didn’t believe that they will implement it so fast. At least, they are keep improving. They show us changes every month, which makes us never leave Gmail. It’s a good approach for software or service industries. Even some software giant or so-called best-service-provider cannot give us that. Moreover, Gmail is free, at least for now and before its official launch.

Job well done, Gmail! Keep up the good work and we expect more

Metro Life

This is really an exciting day that I only use 45 minutes to get to the office, on such a rainy Tuesday, without any headache. Amazing!

Thanks to the expanding of Shanghai Metro Line 1, it shortens my journey to the office from 1.5 hours (sometimes 2+ hours) to 3 quarters (maybe shorter) with the minimum energy consumption. I almost forgot about my plan of buying a car

I have been having a “Metro Life” for about 6 months last year when I was living in Pudong. The easy and comfortable transportation makes going to the work so pleasant. I don’t need to worry about the traffic or the weather. The trains are always (99.99%) punctual. I can get to the office earlier and start to work earlier. Now, I can enjoy the lifestyle again!

Everything is perfect except one defect, my home is a little bit far from the terminal (1.7km). I am considering riding a (electric) bicycle back and forth to the station or just renting an apartment beside it. Still thinking of it…

Mission Accomplished

Finally, finally! This blog has been successfully moved from MovableType to WordPress. Hurray!

Although the original look of the blog homepage is not that good, even ugly, I tried to polish the css style file and the job is still in progress. The following screenshot is the modified version of my new blog site using WordPress. Nice?

As for the benefits, features, pros and cons of this blogware, you may like to dig them out from the WordPress site by yourself. So, I am not gonna be fluffy here.

A little forecast here, I am going to offer some free or very low-cast web/blog/photo hosting plans here for my friends. Details will be released soon.

Why Condoms Are Packed in 3, 6 and 12

[This joke is translated from this by Jeffrey Tam]

Why condoms are packed in three, six and twelve?

A dad and his 13-year-old son were shopping in Watson’s. When they were passing by the shelves for condoms, the son asked the dad:

“What are these stuff in boxes?”

The dad answered, “these are condom, to use for safe sex”.

Son: “Oh…Yeah! Condoms! The teacher told use about that on the sex education courses…but…why they are packed in three, dad?”

The dad was a little bit embarrassed, and then said: “err…these are for colleges students, one for Friday, another for Saturday and the last for Sunday…”

The son nodded…and asked again: “dad, dad! …then what are these packs in six for?”

Dad was #@$%&*!?~ and answered: “emmm……they are for master students, Friday two, Saturday two, and Sunday two…”

Finally, the son picked up a box, that has twelve condoms inside. Then, he asked, “……how about these?”

The dad take a deep breath and mumbled, “these are selling to the married people. They use one for January, one for February, one for March……”

It Is Not Moved Yet

Yes, I lied and this log was still created on MovableType:)

It is because that this whole website is going to move (95% possibility). I have ordered a new web space which is supposed to be large and faster. Moreover, I can provide web/blog/email/ftp/database hosting myself by using the reseller software provided by this new ISP.

The movement is expected to start tomorrow evening if the account information is delivered. Btw, if you are interested in my web space, feel free to let me know. I may offer you a free or low-price-paid plan for your website and blog. I bet you know how to contact me

This Blog Is Moving

For a long time, I have been thinking that MovableType is the best blog hosting software (blogware) out there except it’s not a free software. However, after reading the Blog Software Breakdown by Owen Winkler, I found that there are actually a lot of good blogware. Among them, some are completely free and some are really cool.

Although Owen’s comparison chart does not show bias on any of them, I guess that one he chose should be the best. That’s WordPress which is claimed by the author to be “a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability…”.

So I believe that I was right (it’s the best, for now), especially after doing some research on the website. It was neat, clear, elegant and humanistic (in contrary to commercial). I just like it and decided to change my current system to WordPress. Moreover, it’s based on PHP and MySQL, that fits my taste

I believe that this is the last post on the MovableType system. I rather prefer that you cannot see any difference before and after this post since I would like the movement as smooth as possible as claimed by WordPress too. We should trust MovableType as well and they are still the most famous CMS maker.

Btw, it seems moving has been another trend these days and everybody is moving their blogs, desks, houses, blah blah…

Good luck to me and see you later~
