I have reinstated links to my pre-2010 blog posts from 2000 to 2009. Yes! I have been blogging since June 2000! The text formattings are still awful though because silly me all I did was copying and pasting the posts. I must have done other wacky things too. Just don't look at the source codes because they are really messy. So far I have finished "semi-cleaning up" 2000 to 2005 blog posts. I tried all kinds of web page and text editors just so I can make the clean up a bit faster -- SeaMonkey's Composer, Mac OS X TextEdit, KDE's Kate, MacVIM -- but they all sucked at opening HTML source code files and so I resorted to my favourite terminal/text-only VIM text editor. Those GUI text editors I've just mentioned somehow kept "translating" the text files with raw HTML codes and I did not want them to do it. I would like to edit the raw HTML code... You get what I mean? haha. VIM on terminal emulation does not "translate" then modify the HTML source codes at all which is awesome. I am pretty confident I set all these text editors to open these text files with HTML codes as instructed... but oh well. I am used to the terminal version of VIM anyway.

On a different topic -- parents and I drove to Whitby yesterday. Whitby is about an hour and a half from where I live and I got to see my 3 nieces. We took the 2 older nieces shopping at Oshawa Centre. We had a great time. Before that, we visited the new house that my parents and I bought in Brampton, another suburb of Toronto. We will be moving into the new house the end of this month. I have been so anxious in the past couple of months... but now, the move is very close -- I have become even more anxious!

I think I am going to go out for a bike ride to the river and see if I can spot some wild animals there. This is of course inspired by my fellow aNONradio DJ tob's show :-)
