SARA Tag Cloud: Quick check on popular topics!

July 20, 2006 20067 1:06 am | In SARA | 3 Comments

Wondering why the jokes were drying up and all? Yet another update about SARA? Well, the boringest one was busy creating something new for SARA, spent a couple of days doing it but stupid me didn't realise there were lotsa smart people out there on the net.

While having a mindblock (ermm…or you can call it distraction =P) in the midst of boring coding, I came upon a site called ZoomClouds which created what I wanted exactly. Could have saved me a couple of hours/days if I've found it earlier =P Anyway, I thought why reinvent the wheel (or cloud for this matter) right?

So lazy me just copy-and-pasted the code from there to here so you can see this nice box here, which contain lotsa words –> they all represent the hottest 100 topics on the Southeast Asian blogosphere now. Click on the small little tags to check out the related posts and the ones with bigger fonts mean that there are more posts about them, the smaller ones are just smaller issues.

So you like it?

Anyway, for the full version, try this link. There's also a smaller one on SARA's sidebar.

Also, some internal upgrading were done to the feeds on the sidebar, they are all hosted locally on the server now, so it should speed up loading time as well. Last time I counted with my stopwatch, it saved about 30s of loading time on a 3Mbps connection, so hopefully it'll be more enjoyable.

Hearing Test

A concerned husband went to a doctor to talk about his wife. He says to the doctor, "Doctor, I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time."

"Well," the doctor replied, "go home and tonight stand about 15 feet from her and say something to her. If she doesn't reply, move about 5 feet close and say it again. Keep doing this so that we'll get an idea about the severity of her deafness".

Sure enough, the husband goes home and does exactly as instructed. He starts off about 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen as she is chopping some vegetables and says, "Honey, what's for dinner?" He hears no response. He moves about 5 feet closer and asks again. No reply.

He moves 5 feet closer. Still no reply. He gets fed up and moves right behind her, about an inch away, and asks again, "Honey, what's for dinner?"

She replies, "For the 4th time, vegetable stew!"

ID Ten T!

Next time if you encounter a very dumb client, learn from this:

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Rick the computer guy, to come over. Rick clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. He gave me a bill for a minimum service call. As he was walking away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?"

He replied, "It was an ID ten T error." I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired: "An ID ten T error? What's that … in case I need to fix it again?"

The computer guy grinned…. "Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?"

"No," I replied. "Write it down," he said, "and I think you'll figure it out."

So I wrote out …… I D 1 0 T

Donkey Woes?

Kenny, a city boy, moved to the country and purchased a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the following day.

The next morning, the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died."

"Well, just return my money to me," Kenny said.

"Sorry, can't do that," said the farmer. "I already spent it."

"OK then, just unload the donkey," said Kenny.

"Whatcha gonna do with him?" asked the farmer.

"I'm going to raffle him off," Kenny replied.

"You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" the farmer exclaimed.

"Of course I can," replied Kenny. "Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."

A few weeks later, the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "So, what happened with the dead donkey?"

"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00," explained Kenny.

"Didn't anyone complain?" inquired the farmer.

"Just the guy who won. So, I gave him his two dollars back," Kenny proudly replied.
