Uh, why did my blog get removed from the front page? Is ass really that bad? Was it even viewable from the blurb that shows up on the front page?
Love Confessions of a DK!!! I remember that, haha.

No, look at some youtube videos. It looks like a pretty deep strategy game.

Oh the memories… Why did you have to go? @_@JF is a noob. Baka is an adjective, not a noun.
I’m 18 already, losers. I say all the adults meet up now and rub it in the little kiddies’ faces. We can meet up… anywhere. You know why? Cause we have cars AND the money to afford plane tickets.

A text message can only have 140 characters in it. No more. If you want to turn the fragments into tweets, they need to be no more than 140 characters. Thus, REAL blogs have to be 141. I don’t know why Vusys hasn’t made this clear yet.A quick Google:

160. Twitter/whatever reserves 20 bytes for headers/whatnot.
But why does that matter? For the site’s purposes it’s pretty arbitrary, unless you’re planning to let people text VuTales to post their fragments.-.- @ Cheeze
What I mean to say is that just because anything under 140 characters can go in a fragment instead, doesn’t mean that it should go in a fragment. In certain situations it may be more suitable for a blog, although, granted, 140 characters is extremely short.In reality if someone wants to spam, they will spam. They’d use 141 @’s or whatever. And if someone really wants to post a short blog, they’ll sandwich in a lot of whitespace.
You could argue that it might make people think twice about it before doing such a thing, but you can accomplish that that without enforcing a stringent limit. Direct people to a rules page on sign-up. Display a word count, which is already done. If you even want to, make an “Are you sure you want to post such a short blog?” alert box. But setting automatic limits only encourages people to bypass it if it gets in their way, which I think is really counter-productive.Ha, seems like you’re right. I knew it was some number between one and a hundred with an even tens digit…
The point is not to text VuTales fragments, but to enable people to receive the tweets (on their phone) when you post them. For example, Cheeze posts a fragment: “I just beat AznSeal at SSBM!” I get said fragment sent to my phone. I get updates without even coming online. That’s the point.141 is not arbitrary.

I should be going to Berkley or MIT or something, but my dad won’t let me go out of state. I’m going to major in mechanical engineering and hopefully get a job in the automotive industry. My dream, is of course, to get involved in a big-time race team like one of the Le Mans or F1 teams.
The point of 140 is it’s the limit of text messages. I’m assuming he’s going to make them tweets eventually.

from my dad (they’re performance springs for my car).Lol. I bet you’re excited to write thank-you letters too. ;O
I’m good at getting out of crap like that. I’ll see if I can make my mom forget about that responsibility.
My ex-gf learned the dances to Korean pop songs (mostly big bang).
I do a good job of hiding my geekiness in public (I focus on my other, “cool” interests like sports and cars). I never really take my geekiness to the extreme; I’m just really consistent. I carved a Ninja holding a heart out of chocolate for Valentines Day. I stayed up till 4AM the night before midterms finishing the Makoto arc of Kanon (2006). Finally, I camped out 14 hours to get a Wii on launch day.
