specs
for the last 2 day, i was tinkering with my server. it’s was quite impossible for me to upgrade my blog engine because of the enormous data i host. my server went offline once because it was trying to backup my files and created a single 100+ gb of backup file. most of these are audio files that i share and will share; am planning to create a streaming radio-watch out for this! sparing you the techno-babble, i was able to segregate my blog engine with my picture gallery, numerous other blogs i host (barkada blog – tsongers.com), file server and ftp server. i have a mirror site (http://blog.friedreich.com.ph) that i use to authenticate to openID. so what do all of these means? just the same old blog with an optimized backend.
which comes to the point of this entry, people can’t appreciate what they can’t see. it’s understandable, we are very visual, we depend 90% of the time with our sense of sight. we notice even the slightest change in hair style, discoloration, mismatch clothes, weight gain and loss, even your mobile phone. it’s logical that people do change their appearance to be liked and appreciated. now comes the magical and hard to swallow but, but how about our specs? how many friends you keep, your generosity of heart, your warmth, selflessness, sense of humor, things that really matter. people seldom get appreciated with their compassion, with their ability to share themselves. case in point, person a spends 60,000.00 on a nice supple, leather bag and person b donated the same amount to charity. who among these 2 you think will people huddle around for a look-see?
this post is not pointing fingers, i am guilty most of the time. this is about self awareness, on how much value we put into how we look and not how we feel.
update: specs is a jargon for specification, defined as a detailed, exact statement of particulars, especially a statement prescribing materials, dimensions, and quality of work for something to be built, installed, or manufactured by answers.com.
