links to watch world cup and others

Firstly, this blog isn't dead.
It's just that I've been having a fever.
And it'll only subside after July 12th.
Yup, world cup fever!

If you told me four years ago, that I would be so engrossed in the world cup
that my knowledge of soccer players would improve tremendously,
I would have scoffed and shook my head in disbelief.

Perhaps it's an after-effect of ten sleeping partners.
Each on his own bed, mind you.

Oh, and if you're wondering how you can watch world cup online for free...

For windows, there're loads of free software you can use.
TV Ants, sop cast, TVU and many more. Just google and there'll be so many.
Be warned though, that most of them actually stream china channels,
so you might wanna mute it if you can't tahan prc lingo.

Mac users are at a disadvantage however. It seems the whole world
thinks mac users don't watch world cup.
But! I have found several sites that offers free live streaming, regardless of browser.

1) Atdhe.net
2) p2plive.net

There are probably tens of such sites offering live streaming.
It doesn't take a lot of effort to set up a stream though, and we should all thank
citizens in the western countries for streaming it free for us.

However, for every ten websites, five close down within half an hour or so.
So it really boils down to which reputable stream you can find.

Also, on another note altogether, my desktop crashed.
Windows updates brought down my 1tb Western Digital hard drive.
I'm hoping to get a new one soon though.
It's depressing.

I'm using my macbook now, but I just discovered my battery is expanding.
Like, seriously. I think cause of frequent overheating.
So, I'm running my mac on ac power now
and this is such a double whammy.

Perhaps there'll be one strike and then I'll be out.

Oh, and GO GHANA! :D
