Wow, never knew there is a iGoogle. Its kinda like My Yahoo. However there isn't alot of content you can add to it. It looks like its in the infant stage and I find the Yahoo version to be much better but Google is known for their quality products and I'm sure we can expect alot of changes over the next few months.
The layout of iGoogle is very much like the Google search engine. Simple basic straitforward.

Dream Theater Octavarium
DT's 8th studio ablum will be out on Junt 7th in 2 weeks time. Man I can't wait to get my hands on this ablum. DT is probably the best progressive rock/metal band out there now.
More info from Dream Theater's website.
There really isn't any info on what kind of ablum Octavarium is, a progressive metal masterpiece like Train of Thought or is it like the epic masterpiece Scenes from a Memory?
2 more weeks and we will now :)

All of Mp3.com
If you do not know already All of Mp3 is probably one of the cheapest place u can get your mp3.
However it is so cheap that my first impression was it gotta be illegal but the website is very well done and it looks really professional. In addition to that they got some really hard to find CDs/Labels as well. So I decided to actually do some searchin and I ended up with some pretty interesting results.
In summary, All of Mp3 is not illegal in Russia. For a even more detailed FAQ, check out MuSeekster for a very indepth look at All of Mp3.

Steve Vai Real Illusions: Reflections
Couple of months later, on my way home from downtown, I had Real Illusions: Reflections spinnin on my iPod, its a really kool ablum I think, its kinda different from all the instrumental ablums out there. The tone, the feel and the groove of the ablum is really different, even the structure of the tunes amazin.
Tunes I dig
Firewall, lotus Feet, yai Yai, Under it all

Warlock Addons
After playin in MC for WoW, I felt like I didn't have enough hands to properly play my Warlock so I ended up downloadin a couple of addons so I dun have to micro manage my pets while playing my Lock
Here are the links and all Warlocks should really download them, gonna make u a better player but however there are some bugs but I'm sure its gonna get fixed soon:
Necrosis is a shard + hs + SS tracker among others.
Servitude Resurrection is a great addon for managing ur pets.
CT Mod/Raid Assist/Raid Tracker is probably the most used addon in WoW and is almost a required addon most endgame guilds will require you to get.
Team Speak is another software most endgame guilds will ask you to get.

Warlock Basic
Well before I start, I wan ya'll to know that I'm juz writin what's in my head so there might not be any order to the guide.
Ok today I'm gonna talk abit bout Warlock in general. You get a new pet/minion every 10 levels.
You get a Imp at the start, Voidwalker (10), Succubus(20), Felhunter(30), Felsteed(40), Infernal(50), Doomguard(60)
As of now, I find that you can solo with any of the pets except Felhunter cuz its too weak but however it is a great pet in PvP especially against casters. The reason y I say Felhunter is weak/useless in PvE is because alot of times if you are fightin a caster, they got very little life and there is no need for you to pop a Felhunter juz to kill them, takes you 10sec to cast the Felhunter unless you are spec in Demonology and it will take you about 10 - 15 sec to kill a caster so y cast the Felhunter???
Ok back to topic, I think that the learning curve to be a good Warlock is one of the longest in WoW, not only do you need to learn how to play the Warlock properly, you gotta be able to play ur pet correctly as well, in other words you gotta be able to do micro managment very well. I think that a good Warlock will *not* have alot of his pet's skills on auto cast.
For example at lvl 60, if I'm using VW as my pet, I will send him in to taunt the enemy and I'll cast Curse of Agony, Corruption and Immolate last. I'll usually get aggro after VW taunts the enemy after the 3rd time. At this point I'll turn Taunt off. In the forums alot of people are complainin that VW runs out of mana too fast, reason? Simple they have everything on autocast. Unless you have improved Voidwalker, you will get aggro somewhere around the 3rd taunt. If you have imp. VW, its very hard to get aggro off VW. If you dun turn taunt off and juz leave it on auto cast, you are simply wasting mana cuz once you get aggro, its very hard for VW to gain aggro again and you will simply be wastin mana and most likely VW will not have enough mana after teh 2nd or 3rd fight.
Next up, I'm gonna talk abit bout the Warlock himself. Ur primary way to deal damage would be using Damage over Time (DoT) and some Direct Damage (DD). The difference? DoT spreads out the damage over a period of time but DD deals all the damage in 1 burst. For example Corruption does 666 shadow damage over 27 sec so the damage is spread out evenly over 27 sec, about 70+ damage per sec. Shadowbolt does 455 - 507 damage in 1 hit. Couple of main difference between DoT and DD. DoT cannot crit but however once you land a DoT on a mob, you will always do the same amount of damage unless you are fighting a mob that is very much higher level than you. As long as the mob is not immune to your spell, you will always have a very constant DPS unlike a DD, you can do less damage deal to high resist. But however because you cannot crit with a DoT sometimes it can take a while to kill certain mobs. But fear not Warlocks do have a mixture of DoT and DD, although we may not have as much DD as a mage, we do have enough spells and pets to make ourself useful in a group or solo.
But the way, I dun think a Warlock is suitable for dealin out high DPS or for constant nuking. We can do it but its not mana efficient, we should only do it if there is a need for it. I will go into more detail at a later date.
Next up I'm gonna talk abit bout the rest of teh skills we have in general. From level 10 onwards, you will need to learn a new spell call Drain Soul. Castin it rite b4 a mob is about to die will yield you a soulshard. A soulshard is used for summonin certain pets and for castin certain spells. Like it or not as of now you need to have a bag for soulshards cuz they dun stack. In certain instance, I can go through 20+ shards per run. Warlock is also one of the few classes able to deal out damage using AoE. Hellfire + Rain of Fire, although we are not as good as a mage but we are acutally a very decent AoE class.
Personally I think Warlock is kinda inbetween we dun do as much damage as a Rogue but we are very constant, we can't stack AoE but we are decent enough to be useful. We can soulstone, healthstone, AoE, deal damage, do crowd control, scout instance. I would define a Warlock as a utility player.
Will talk more bout AoE 2morrow.

Warlock
Well I decided to do a blog style guide for Warlock, rather than writin out an entire guide, I'll post my thoughts and ideas for playin a Lock.
Well here is a description of the Warlock by Blizzard. Personally I dun think anyone can tell you better than Blizzard since this is their game.
Although I dun agree with teh description but it is their game.............
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/
I've been playin the Warlock since open beta around early November 04 until now and Warlock has gone through several changes from being a primary damage dealer to a Dotter to finally now a debuffer.
Personally Warlock dun fit in as a debuffer. We dun debuff as well as the other classes. Why use Curse of Recklessness when Sunder Armor reduces the armor more? One more reason why we dun fit in as a debuffer, as of now you can have only 8 debuffs on a mob, meanin in a raid or even in a group of 5, a Warlock's debuff is useless cuz its gonna get cancelled out. Hell I ain't even doing damage in a raid unless I nuke.
But however its not that bad though, we are still useful and I'll reveal more on how to play a warlock over the next few days.

WoW/Blizzard
Well.....I really wanted to play WoW but its good that I'm able to control and not pre order.....especially with all the problems rite now....its been like 2 days and it seems to me that everybody's spamming Bliz.
1) U can't create a account unless u got Credit Card which u won't be able to unless ya'll over 18 which is y there's the Game Card option which Blizzard have so nicely provided us with. But they forgot to inform the public that even though the game will be release on the 23rd, the Card will ONLY be shipped on the 29 meaning u probly won't get it until the 30th or later.
2) U gotta have a US/NZ/AU issued CC to be able to sign up......actually I send an Email to blizzard b4 the launch asking them regarding the whole only US servers are live and only gamers from US/NZ/AU are allowed to play and they told me that once all the planned release for China/Europe are ready, gamers will be allowed to play where ever they want.......dude what's the diff in letting us choose the US servers now and like 3 months later? I'm not going to play in Korea cuz I absoultly have no freaking idea what the hell they are talkin bout.....I really dun enjoy playing in the China server cuz frankingly speaking they are pretty slow. So I'm still left with US as being the only choice.....to be honest after playing Diablo for so long, I find that the ping between the US West and Korean server to be neligable. So y would I choose Korea? and since I was in the OB testing of WoW I can say that I'm pretty much LAG FREE!!!!!!!
3) Whos reading all this crap anyway?

Morals
Its pretty fucking digusting, I mean I juz got a 60 for my Moral Assignment. I'm like the lowest in the class, and the teacher said, "I know some of you cut and paste from the net but its ok, this time I won't penalize you all but next time I will" I'm like what the FUCK, I did not cut and paste and yet I got a 60 and those who cut and paste got higher grades than me. I mean WHAT THE FUCK man......... Btw the teacher did not say that to me and I know I did not cut and paste.
Back in High School, I've friends who freaking failed classes for not citing a sentence properly. This is supposed to be a GOD DAMN College but yet have a lower standard than a High School.
I'm FREAKING pissed...................
I really dun understand, its such a joke, its moral class yet the teacher is like ok you guys cut and paste but I won't penalize this time. WHAT THE FUCK is going???
Can someone FREAKING tell me???

Didn't do too much update last week anyway I added one new track, probably will add in more later today.
Anyway I juz got Music for Speeding by Marty Friedman.....wow great tone and I can hear some Megadethish riffing/soloing in some parts of his playing.
Overall I dig this ablum although I won't say that its really heavy like some Megadeth ablum but its total departure from the Scenes ablum. Think I gotta get a few more Marty Friedman CD.

VR
U know what...I'm not uploading the VR tracks onto Rock Guitars Unite bcoz, my version is the censored one and I simply dun know which tracks are censored, the fans deserved more than this.....

VR
Well finally Velvet Revolver's Contraband is here in Malaysia and as expected it is censored........:-(
The cover of the CD even say that its the edited version adn when teh CD was checked back against teh CDDB, it says its the Clean version....I wonder what's teh diff between the clean and dirty version......
Anyway I dig track 2 and 6, Do It For The Kids adn Fall To Pieces, so they will go up on Rock Guitars Unite, by 2morrow.....great tone on Fall To Pieces and I dig the overall feel of DIFtK :-)
Very different from Slash's Snakepit and GnFR...but after a few spin, its not bad...not bad at all.

Sweaty Palms
Anybody got it? Well I do and there are several ways to treat it. first up you can go for a small operation, the sucess rate is pretty high.
The next way is to apply this medicine on the affected areas, which is the method I use. It works,but has also cause the skin on my palms to peel off a fair bit, which is annoying for my cuz I play the guitar and everytime the callouses peel off, my finger tips really hurts, I've actually stop using it but I do notice that I don't sweat as much now, the effect last pretty long per coating. It can last up to about 2 months. but I dun really dig using it....

Stretching
If ya a guitarist and have been playing for a while, try this.
Your fingers on ur left hand will be longer than ur right, cuz you gotta stretch those fingers to play some of the chords on the guitar.
I've been thinking if I'm able to stretch my self, I might beable to get a couple of inch taller. Hehehehe I'm not very tall, juz slightly under 5 6 , maybe I can stretch myself to like five six and a half????

Ways to Get a Gmail Acct..
Hehehe, I juz realize that there are a variety of ways to get a Gmail acct. Hehehe, I got one too but anyway, here's a few way.
Sign up to be a beta-user via Gmail.com
This is probably the worse way to go.
The next way is to try buying one via where else but Ebay or Gmail Swap
The best way is to get invited for example there a number to websites that offer Gmail acct as a reward for reporting Bugs or if you have made some sort of signaficant contribution to that site.
here are some sites that I know of:
If u have been using this for quite a while, you might get invited, www.blogger.com
www.blinkx.com
If ya a Mozilla user and can find a bug you might get a free Gmail Acct
Over and Out

CDs
Ok...I bought a shit load of CDs this 2 wks, Tower is have a clearance sale so quite a few CDs are going for half price bought about 10 CDs I think....
And Frankly I'm DAMN disappointed by two CDs cuz they are censored...do u believe it, its freaking censored...if I knew I would not have bought it...juz imagine if its a Slim Shady CD or any sort of gangsta rap CD, a 50 mike CD would be like only 20 minutes long cuz most of it will be censored.....DIGUSTING

Anger
Talk bout anger, frustrations, pain and whateva, it reminded me of this show I saw on TV bout 1 year back, there's this one shop in Japan for people to vent their anger, basically you pay a certain amt of money and you get one room that you can destroy and totally trash it.
Well there ain't any here(where I live) but I think its pretty freaking cool, I mean there muz be times where you really feel like whacking something but you probably can only slam the door or throw a book on the ground or something? Well now you get to trash a room and not have to clean up or anything.....How bout that?

Fade to Black

Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

hohoho
Finally someone posted a comment on my blog hahaha....anyway I went back old school today and listened to some good old Metallica. Have been listening to lots of Jazz and stuff. For some reason I juz felt like listening to something heavy and out came the Tallica CDs :-) my roots.
Being in a music college, I get influenced to listen to lots of Jazz cuz its the hardest form of music and for the rockers we are told to listen to lots of Dream Theater, I listen to a lot of DT as well and they are one of the most sucessful Progressive Rock band but like Jazz, its very progressive and very long. DT's song can go up to thiry mike for one song and frequently on their ablum (full length 60 - 70 mike) there are very few songs, 7 - 10. compare to say a punk or pop ablum which is not full length(avg 50 mike) there will be like 12 tunes on it.
Becoz their song is so long and complex, in order to absorb the whole ablum it could take many spins and there are always some sort of themes going on, usually based on events in the past year.
Dun feel like typing anymore....:-p

2 new CDs
I've not got any new CDs for a very long time and rarely do I get any modern rock band...but today I got a pop rockish CD by a band from Taiwan call FIR...they are a bit different cuz they uses some modes in certain songs which are very rare in the Chinese market...probably that's y I got the CD.
The other that I got is solo release by a metal legend Marty Friedman but however this CD is very much different from the band he use to be in, Megadeth....think Kitaro but more rockish closer to rock ballad. Btw this is a old CD call Scenes, probably very hard to find in South East Asia. A good CD if you like Kitaro's style but want abit more of a rockish flavor to it.

New Month
Well new month...time for some spring cleaning....getting ready for next time...I dun know...I dun really have anythought provoking stuff to say....well....hmmm.....How bout saying this...
Something I was asked when I used to be in the military, if we are on a mission and it would determine if there is going to be a war or not and one of our teammate is badly injured and might not survive should we kill our mate or bring him along? Out mate here is defintely gonna be slowing us down and he needs treatment something we cannot give him but yet if we do not complete this mission it is possible that there will be war.....what should be done?
