I'm Here!

Hello, world! I can't talk to much right now, because I'm supposed to be babysitting, but I thought I'd write a quick entry. Smiley Right now I've got to go outside and watch Thomas in the sandbox. I'm taking him to the park later. Expect an entry later!

 
 
   
 

Getting Sleepy...
Security Level: Low (Public / Everybody)  
Today, I got home from work at 3:00pm.
Now I'm sleepy.
Tomorrow, I don't have to work until 4:45pm.
I'm going to take a nap, and I'll be MindSaying again tonight.

I'm not going to continue on with my MindSay Quick Update posts and my attempt to change things. From the comments I received in my previous entry about the Quick Update feature, not too many people are even aware of what that feature is. Besides, they're right. There are other pressing issues here in Mindsay's technical side that needs to be addressed, like HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Also, I might post a few friends only entries about some drama at work.

Let's Save, Kupo!
 
 
 

   
The Old MindSay Quick Update (part 1): Revamp it!
Security Level: Low (Public / Everybody)  


The MindSay Quick Update: One of MindSay's most forgotten (and nonetheless, somewhat useless) feature MindSay ever came up with since MindSayBot.

Something needs to be done about MindSay's Quick Update feature. There are so much more present participle verbs that can be more useful than "feeling", "thinking", "doing", "watching", "listening to" and definitely "selecting". Don't get me wrong, I can be a heavy user of "watching" or "listening to", since they are the most flexible "quick update" verbs. But come on, "selecting"? That last line in the drop down selection has been changed so many different times, I don't even remember what they had on there in the past.

Before I start this fiasco, wouldn't this Quick Update feature be more usefull if it had a custom "verb to be" and "present participle" option availble in it? What this means is, wouldn't it be great if we can have this feature:

I   am, was, will be          custom                                          (.)(...)(?)(!)(^_^)( o)( o)
And if there's ONE main thing I could ask for about MindSay's Quick Update feature, it would be the ability for that feature to be able to update our calendar plugins.

First of all, does it have to be a present participle? Does the verb have to end in -ing? Remove the verb to be from it and I can certainly use "I felt" or "I thought" or "I will be listening to". The Quick Update feature would be an awesome feature if it was so much more flexible after the "I". You know why? It is because after "I", sometimes, I would rather use a past tense or a future tense for the "verb to be".

Wait, wait... To be continued (w00t Kari Sweet!)

Next on Part 2:

On the next entry, WE will play with what we can do with the Quick Update feature, if it would let us change the "verb to be" to past tense or future tense (considering that we're going to leave the present participle alone):
I am "feeling", "thinking", "doing", "watching", "listening to" and definitely "selecting"
I was "feeling", "thinking", "doing", "watching", "listening to" and definitely "selecting"
I will be "feeling", "thinking", "doing", "watching", "listening to" and definitely "selecting"
Input your thoughts in the comments and the destiny of the MindSay Quick Update parts 2, 3 and 4 might change. An actual change would have to be in the hands of the MindSay Administration team, who never listens.
