And be faithful to your partner

*sigh* Who would’ve thought exactly a month after the above news was published, the DVD circulation of his sex adventure with a “personal friend” would see him quit from all of his posts?

Beer wore seatbelt, man did not

Funny this

CITRUS HEIGHTS, Calif., Jan. 8 (UPI) — California police said a man who was injured after losing control of his car was not wearing a seatbelt — but his 12-pack of beer was buckled in snugly.

Officers in the town of Citrus Heights said witness accounts indicated that Alexsandr Gritsyuk failed to negotiate a turn while traveling at about 60 miles per hour on a city road and struck a tree, KCRA-TV, Sacramento, Calif., reported Tuesday.

The police said Gritsyuk, who was treated for his injuries, did not appear to be wearing his seatbelt during the incident, but a 12-pack of beer he was transporting in the car was securely buckled.

Domain Scare Tactics

Sorry for the lack of updates - I have to blame it on lack of sleep (nervous bah the night before my first day on the new job) and catching it up on the next day.

Anyway, on my first day of work, I had a small but interesting task. It started with my boss forwarding me an email. Here’s the content (my office’s domain name has been replaced with XXXXX)

From: “james.zhou” [james.zhou@domaininasia.com]
Date: 7 January 2008 14:39:49 GMT+08:00
To: “XXXXX” [xxxxx@XXXXX.com]
Subject: Domain name of xxxxx (To CEO)

Dear CEO,

We are the domain name registration organization in Asia, which mainly deal with international company’s in Asia. We have something important need to confirm with your company.

On the Jan 4, 2008, we received an application formally. One company named “HengTong Holdings Ltd” wanted to register following Domain names:

XXXXX.cn
XXXXX.com.cn
XXXXX.net.cn
XXXXX.org.cn
XXXXX.com.hk
XXXXX.hk
XXXXX.cc
XXXXX.tw
XXXXX.com.tw

Internet brand keyword:
XXXXX

through our body.

After our initial examination, we found that the keywords and domain names applied for registration are as same as your company’s name and trademark. These days we are dealing with it. If you do not know this company, we doubt that they have other aims to buy these domain names. Now we have not finished the registration of HengTong Holdings company yet, in order to deal with this issue better, Please contact us by telephone or email as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

James zhou
