Yahoo! Password Helper: Do you know your Yahoo! ID?

Terrible yahoo password recovery system. annoying and barely legible captcha and then you need to remember whatever zip code and country you put in when you registered. I changed address a dozen times, can't remember which country/zip I put in and now the account is locked. Let's see if customer service replies back, which I strongly doubt. Too bad they bagged flickr.

Hellboy, 1 and 2

Watched Hellboy over the weekend, both of them. Was surprisingly fun to watch. Ron Perlman is quite good and of course John Hurt. Luke Goss as Prine Nuada was also very impressive. I like that kind of elf character (even though he was evil in this movie). The German accent and behaviour they gave the new agent Johann Krauss was hilarious and was just as one would expect from a Brit doing German accent and mannerism. His last words to his supervisor: “You can kiss my ectoplasmic tuches” (= ass in German and Yiddish) cracked me up.
I think the weakest of the bunch was Selma Blair as agent Liz. All in all an entertaining movie with a variety of accents and wisecracks worthy of a lazy Sunday afternoon.

It’s been a while since I wrote anything here. August has come and gone and was quite busy both in terms of trading and personal side of things. Trading is still hard going and I’m finding the environment tricky. I need to put some extra effort into it to catch up and get back on track. With several important milestones behind me I should be able to focus on it better.

What else is going on - I just completed 1 year since I left my old job and Singapore. It’s been an extremely interesting and eventful year. At times it’s been easy and fun and at others it’s been tough and challenging. I think I’m still adjusting in a way.

Finally, on a personal note, an announcement is due. I’ll be tying the knot end of this year, so more change and excitement is coming my way :-)
