Facebook Deactivation



I'd posted up a status update in my Facebook account like few weeks back, saying that my will to stop using its services and not many people seem to believe it. And Ta Da, I deactivated my account yesterday. As a matter of fact, I can't find a link called Delete My Account, so I just settled down with Deactivation. Googled and found that you can actually delete your account but only through a relatively lengthy procedure. Nevermind, deactivation it is.

Face swelling finally subsided and I'm taking some "hard" food today. Can you imagine 2-3 days intakes of food limited to stuffs like mashed potatoes, plain congee, milk and ice creams (no complains on this!)? Cravings are crawling around.

It DO costs you to mess with Wisdom!

O ya, when I read a paper about how XBRL is being analyzed from a postsocial approach and as a socio-technical object, Facebook crossed my mind. I'm curious whether there's any similar study on FB. Maybe yes, but no time for me to look further.

Essentials of XBRL



While my recuperation from Wisdom extraction is in progress, I managed to finish the reading of this book during the dull weekend. Pains still intact though.

This book is targeted for the audience from the group of C-level, hence you can imagine how above-50,000-feets the materials can be. Nonetheless, it does provide a very important perspective on how XBRL can portrait itself as a valuable corporate asset and not just another technology.

It is only 200+ pages and with a lot of spaces in between the lines for easy sighting of old folks. Lolx.

Anyway, the book is focused on elaborating the evolutionary power of XBRL in the accounting field, particularly how it will transform accounting firms and corporate accounting department. However, I guess it would be more valuable if it can includes more emphasis on other stakeholders such as regulators and software vendors and not just a breeze on them.

Moving forward.

My Naked Wisdom, Literally

Wisdom was troubling me occasionally with residuals and inflammations and this got on my nerves recently when I can't help myself but uncontrollably flirting with its' surroundings with my tongue to calm the irritations.

DMDL!

Went to dentist that did my root canal few weeks back and taught Wisdom a lesson.

Before the extraction:



See how Wisdom collided with its' neighbour?

After the extraction (Pic at the top right):



The process took around 30 - 45 minutes with drillings, crackings and hackings sound. At one point in time, I felt like my jaw bones were shattered into pieces.


Show time. I present to you my naked Wisdom in blood (R-rated):



Post-op gonna be a PITA experience, hope no dry socket forms.


DMDL, Die Mah Die Lo
PITA, Pain In The Ass
