About 13-14 months ago, as I was struggling with PHP and MySQL, I was
listening to an old album of The Pillows, White Incarnation.
Today, I had to revisit my 1 year old project which started out as
ASP+Access, converted to PHP+MySQL along the way. I’m making changes to that
project and listening to the same album. Somehow if you think about it, you
realize another year has passed.
I don’t think I’ve matured in anyway, physically or mentally. All I’ve
achieved over the past year was newer toys and no more money-worries when
shopping/eating.
Looking back at my blog entries, here’s my top highlights for the year 2004
in chronological order.
- Jan 9th – Made my first online transaction with my debit card, Golden
Village movie tickets. - Jan 18th – Enjoyed Lineage 2 on the Taiwan Open beta followed by the Japan
Open beta. - Jan 21st – Bought a Radeon 9800Pro. Always wanted a high-end graphics card.
- Feb 14th – Registered domain name: wyred.nu
