Twinkies, YouTube, JFK

September 10, 2022 Lehan Edirisinghe

<p>Zombieland’s Twinkie rule kicked off a late YouTube spiral—music, interviews, and random recommendations. It ended on George Washington and JFK clips, calling Kennedy “president of the world.”</p>

Choosing Hostinger and Budgeting for CDNs, SEO and Translation

3:30 p.m.

Even if the service is slightly better. It's best to go with Hostinger. As I may put up some nice looking pictures. I cater to a very realistic audience.

I see that even if we make some money. Let's say $1000 bucks. It's a lot of money. And we can spend it to buy servers, data loaders, or pay some friends to host there. And what matters is the CDN anyway.

BBC, NY Times, they use a whole host of CDN providers.

This is a big jump up from Wix days. Where the site loaded in like 3 to 4 seconds even with Avishai Abrahami showing up. I can't remember. I think maybe it was 2 seconds or something.

Hostinger will be around 2 seconds. Which isn't that bad. If it's 1 to 2 seconds, it is good enough, really.

When we get some money, we'll spend it on good CDNs.

So, maybe $100 / month on CDNs.

$100 / month on good SEOs.

$100 / month on translations.

The image features two scenes from the movie "Zombieland" focusing on Woody Harrelson's character. In both scenes, it is nighttime, and the background is adorned with blurred string lights creating a warm, festive atmosphere. Woody Harrelson is wearing a cowboy hat and a patterned jacket, characteristic of his rugged, survivalist persona in the film.
In the top scene, he looks contemplative as he gazes slightly upwards, perhaps savoring a moment of enjoyment or indulgence. The on-screen text next to him reads "RULE #32 ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS," which is one of the humorous survival rules mentioned in the movie. The phrase emphasizes appreciating small joys in a post-apocalyptic world.
In the bottom scene, Woody Harrelson is seen enjoying a snack, bringing the text's theme to life. His focus on the food reflects the rule's message. The lighting is warm and accentuates his facial features, highlighting the comedic yet poignant nature of the moment. The blend of humor and survival is a key theme in "Zombieland," making these scenes emblematic of the film's tone and style.

Feeling Depressed About Sri Lanka While Planning a Blog

7:30 p.m.

This is a good movie.

I'm just feeling depressed 'cause we couldn't get anything achieved. At all. But whatever. This is something. Putting up a blog is a good source of income.

I don't really care about SL now. It's not something that will fix.

The trouble isn't always the ship-captain. It's the people onboard the ship. The 22m people on board the ship are the real reason it fails.

They will not change.

The position and placement in the world, in relative terms is so low. Too low. And they will not improve. Those angry broken dogs, don't recover.

What happened to that Louann Brizendine?

She never said I was a psycho.

I am just a bit self-conscious.

I think I write in a way that's mostly dark humor. As it's just my own sense of humor. I mean, only Taylor Swift, she understands my humor, unlike those other horrible people.

I'm not a wicked person either.

I'm a very, very nice person.

I'm just the most nice person ever.

Better off being realistic, or else, they'll go around talking to shrinks to hear their insecurities verbalized.

Quoting a Call to Fight Tyranny in a Long Twilight Struggle

1:30 a.m.

(c)

Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need--not as a call to battle, though embattled we are-- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"--a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny,

The image depicts a cozy, vintage living room scene where a family is gathered around an old-fashioned television set. The room is warmly lit, with soft, natural light coming through a window with floral curtains. In the center of the room, there's a round table with a decorative lampshade featuring a marbled design. The family, including adults and children, is seated on a couch and armchairs, intently watching the television. The TV screen displays a black-and-white image, and the caption reveals they are watching "President Kennedy." This suggests a historical or retro setting, possibly from the early 1960s. The room is furnished with a mix of upholstered chairs and wooden furniture, and a shelf on the wall holds various knick-knacks, adding to the lived-in feel of the space. The atmosphere conveys a sense of togetherness and engagement with a significant broadcast event.
