NEW SITE! BOOM!


This site will not be in operation any longer. I have changed it:

accumu.blogspot.com

Update your stuff as I will eventually (probably) delete this site in the coming months.

All new posts will be there (and you should check it out for the design itself, which is rather neat). I can't commit to anything "regular," but I do plan on updating much more.

Please check it out.

I got into Google Voice!

Here's what it offers:
  • A personal phone number that rings all of your existing phones when people call
  • All of your voicemail in one inbox with unlimited online storage and free voicemail transcripts sent to your phone and email
  • Low-priced international calling to over 200 countries and free SMS
  • Other powerful features like the first phone spam filter to protect you from unwanted callers, the ability to ListenInTM on your voicemail messages while they are being left, conference calling and more
This should be sweet.

Origin of Boycott


Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott (March 12, 1832 — June 19, 1897) was a British land agent whose ostracism by his local community in Ireland as part of a campaign for agrarian tenants' rights in 1880 gave the English language the verb to boycott, meaning "to ostracise".

New Word




I learned a new, awesome word today (perhaps you already knew it):

Ductus

  • the number of strokes that make up a written letter, and the direction, sequence and speed in which they are written

  • the speed, care, and cursiveness with which the letters are written
