The secret's out...

My blog has been discovered by my students! OK, actually many of them have read it before, but they were all my students of last year. Unfortunately my big mouth let slip to my homeroom yesterday that I have a website. I didn't want to actually, wanted to keep it under wraps (I shy shy mah). I didn't tell them the URL of course, but I did say that they can Google my name and it'll turn up. And of course one of them tried it.

My older students have already found out my website because many of them added themselves to my MSN messenger, and I usually announce my website updates on MSN (with the URL in blazenly written, of course. What's the point in telling people my website has been updated if they don't know where they're supposed to go). No, Matthew, I am NOT going to give you my MSN username.

Anyways... after reading his comment, turns out this young chap who constantly has AIDS on his mind (if I had a penny for everytime he utters that word, I'd be a millionaire) has a blog too. Very cynical and seems to be under the impression he's some sort of supreme intellect. Just because you carry a calculator that can play Super Mario Brothers doesn't make you one, you know! Anyway, I've added it onto my links page. Quite interesting read, really. Am very curious about what's happening between him and NS. Must dig that out from him soon. If not him, well.... then his classmates. Haha!

By the way, just to let you know, I'm going to be changing the URL of my website soon. The domain name http://www.zyenhoo.com is still going to stay, of course. In case you didn't notice, it always points to a subdomain, i.e. http://zyenhoo.thewildwestbabes.com. Yes, yes, I know many of you are wondering what's up with the wildwestbabes bit. It's my dance team name. Read more about it on The Dancer. However the team has disbanded and we're going to discontinue the website, so obviously my website won't be residing on that domain anymore. I haven't planned what the name of the main domain should be yet. But the main URL will stay so you kids can still use it with or without the change.

Why do I use a subdomain in the first place? Well, simply because I've purchased web hosting space that I'm sharing with others and I can't afford space all on my own. I'm not rich like you kids, you know. :D

By the way, about the earlier young chap - OK, to give him his due credit, he is some sort of Math genius. And PC genius too. I'm sure he's itching to tell me quite a few things I should do to improve my website. He does have some spelling errors in the entries in his blog, but I suppose the AIDS... I mean, Math ability makes up for it.

And if the rest of you 4 Aristotlians are reading - you're all great kids too. I'm still so proud to hear how much you've chipped in for the notice boards. I'm just waiting for the work to be done on the notice boards.

If the rest of you are students from other classes who are waiting for your names to be mentioned - errr, why don't you go visit the blog of your homeroom teacher or something...

Yes i cant believe it took so long for me to discover how to type your initials into google.About that msn messenger thing, you might want to change it."Ethereal":)

Funny thing, the calculator runs in QBASIC too!I`ll have that program of yours running on the "fat" calculator.

By all means ask, its a good story.

For the record, i know a few people in vegas(or chow kit for that matter) who might be interested in the domain.

Matthew the supreme intellect of the universe suggests you use wordpress.(www.wordpress.com)(This is free).Movable Type(not free) looks like peanuts next to wordpress.Lord praise open souce.

Math genius who had his calculator(blame mario) set to base 10 during the modern math exam and as a result of which got 76%.Jeer, i know you want to.

Oh about the notice boards,
Karl Shern put me in charge of moral:)Just think of the possibilities cough*AIDS*cough .

Youre the only teacher in school with a good blog.We really have nowhere better to go.
