I am VERY GLAD that Facebook is finally doing something about this.
Have you ever noticed your Facebook notifications? No? Let me show you mine, on a typical day:
Now, how many of those there are actually USEFUL to me?
ONE!
Yes, just one. The one saying someone commented on my friend’s status message.

I know, everyone has heard of Twitter nowadays. I’ve had computer-illiterate friends coming to ask me “Is Twitter fun? Is it better than Facebook?” to “What the hell is Twitter?”.
Well, I’ve been there, done that. Now I use Plurk. I still have Twitter on, I just prefer to talk on Plurk than Twitter. Yeah I’m spoilt by their threaded conversation timelines.

So yes, ever since I got my first PC XT (4.77 Mhz, 512K RAM) I’ve always “built my own” PC. Of course, nowadays I go to my favourite shop at the Holy Shrine of All Things Technological (Sim Lim Square lah!) and pick out parts I want, then ask them very nicely to help me fix them together. I would come back in about an hour or 2 and just pick it all up. But in the past, when I was younger and had more energy, I’d put everything together myself. In other words, I loved putting thermal paste on the heatsinks, stick it to the CPU (as in the chip, not the big case you guys call a “CPU”), then stick the CPU into the motherboard. I loved mangling all the wires, hooking up POWER, HDD, FDD etc cables to the the motherboard. I’d slot in RAMs and then fix it all into the case, and more fiddling of the wires.
