It doesn’t cost that much
November 23, 2009 by Leeman, under Stuff.
The title is a bit misleading, but actually, there is nothing philosophical, nor metaphoric about it.
A few minutes ago, I visited a site I frequent for Chinese TVB-related torrents and saw a tiny blurb that read: “Please click my sponsored ads. It will help with the monthly costs, else this site might not be here tomorrow.”
THAT is a very misleading statement. Now, I’ve worked in the web and creative production industry for ten years and I currently have five ongoing projects, three of which are personal. I KNOW that running a personal web site DOES NOT cost a lot of money. If it does, those people aren’t buying from the ‘right’ places. Right now, the only web project that is costing me a little more than the rest is Leemanism.com. The domain name costs me about $10 per year. The hosting is through GoDaddy and that costs me about $35 per year with 300 gigabytes of transfers per month and a total of 10 gigs of hosting space. Now, considering these other personal web sites that hold basic graphical data and no actual downloadable data, I call BS that really takes that much money to run their web sites. (more…)

EA Games DRM
June 4, 2009 by Leeman, under Stuff.
As I started working years ago and earning my buck, I started looking into buying PC games online and at stores like Future Shop and Best Buy. I’m not a hardcore gamer, but I do love games from time to time.
EA Games introduced DRM into some of their games and will continue to do so in all of their future titles. Now, there are two types of DRM. 1) Code-based, unlimited installations and 2) Online registration based, up to 3 or 5 installations. (more…)

The Laid Back Crew VS The Uptight Duo
June 1, 2009 by Leeman, under Friendship, Stuff.
It has been two nights since further drama ensued between the Jenbert combination and Patrick and Leeman. I contemplated on whether I want to post my thoughts up or not and for the better of me, I didn’t want to because I feel that I am defending myself against an unnecessary foe. I eventually chose to because I dislike being stepped on and I dislike twisted reasoning.
I’ve only seen Patrick ‘blow-up’ three times in my life knowing him. I know he’s blown up at least one other time in Japan. During the Saturday talk with Albert and Jenny, he eventually blew up and kept saying, “Wow.”
Yeah, wow indeed. (more…)

Potato Chip Destiny
May 11, 2009 by Leeman, under Stuff.
I was in front of my computer as usual, eating Herb & Garlic chips when one chip bounced out of my fingers and disappeared under the desk. I even made a sound with my mouth that resembled a manly man being poked up the ass by something to help his constipation.
After some searching, I found the Croc Minion all over it. He seemed pleased.

Version 3
May 10, 2009 by Leeman, under Stuff.
Welcome to Leemanism v3.0. All the entries in the old blog has been wiped. Though they were mostly backed up for my own records. Pat suggested a photo blog. I settled on a photo-esque sort of blog. Each entry will start off with an image of sorts, followed by my thoughts. I’ll keep my text-side thoughts to a minimal. If I have a rant, you’ll see the representation of it in the picture.
Anyway, if you want to hire a professional photographer, check out Patrick Leung.
