Sherman gave me the thumbs up on my b-plan last night. And, he had a bunch of other ideas to go with. I ended up having to write it down just so I'd remember. That's a good thing, particularly coming from Sherman. Remember that he used to work for WIIG when he was living in Taipei, the one person whom I could never persuade to say good things about my previous business models, not even just to be nice (ouch Sherman!).

This shall be the last entry about my need to seek validation on this one.

"OuchSherman.com!"

It's a little weird, but my confidence level with regards to the project has reached a different level. And, it's affecting my overall attitude, i.e., I don't feel like using ALL CAPS as much as I used to, lol. I guess what it is is, I'm a bit more calm. I have done my very best. All I can do now is let things take its course. If it was meant to be, it shall happen. If not... such is life.

Dunno if this is a good thing or a bad thing, as a part of me still can't believe that I've somehow managed to put order to all the chaos (and I mean that literally) and may actually "defy the odds" so to speak. Carol says that this is normal, but nonetheless... I do feel like I need to tap into my emotional reserves and give this next stage everything I've got.

One thing is for certain...

Fundraising is a pain in the BUTT.

From Jeremy, one of our Forum Moderators of the ORIENTED.ORG Forums:

Hey Christine,

We monitor the UK's "PC Advisor" computer maga-
zine often and you probably know that HeyChris-
tine.com was profiled in the March 2002 issue,
page 32 in the 'news: feature focus' section.

There is a screen shot of your "*bleep!*!" opening
page. Callout of it says, "HeyChristine.com has
copied Judy Lin's popular site [An American in
Taipei] by offering a 'personalised' diary live
on the Internet." ORIENTED is also briefly men-
tioned for the forums blasting Jody Lin's style.

The point of the article is that many of these
kinds of sites are not by a 'real' author and
in many cases are 'ghost writers' on the Inter-
net.

The article continues with "Hey Christine at
www.heychristine.com is another such site. The
writer claims to keep a personalised diary that
will be "a story of who I really am and how I
came to be." The article then concludes with,
"Just remember not to take them too seriously."

Good work Christine! You've convinced the pub-
lic that you are writing a fiction."

"Altogether now --> ROFL!"
