Nope...





Hope is tomorrow's veneer over today's disappointment.
Evan Esar, American Humorist (1899 - 1995)

Hipihi tonight?


I am tenacious and this evening I try again the link http://www.hipihi.com/application/application_en.jsp provided by Daneel in his blog Daneel Ariantho's 2nd life



After few minutes I get the following screen:

19:30

More or less the same screen as the one I got yesterday, with the notable remark that it is faster...






19:35

5 minutes later, there is a big step forward, similar to the first step of Man on the Moon, I can see some familiar boxes that I can fill in.

The gender by default is Male, why on Earth males are always first on the list and privilegiated over women?






19:38

Date of Birth...only four possibilities...and a dash in case you are in trouble...






19:39

So I choose the biggest figure: 4, don't ask why.






19:41

Ahh! Another box is appearing, actually the first on the left was for the month, then here is the day...

And some green bars are encouraging me...






19:42

Blimey! The green bars have disappeared, this system is playing with mine (my nervous system)






19:43

Again the green bars, I decide to enter my SL birthdate, I wonder if I will have to enter the year...






19:45

Yes, I have to enter the year, I choose 2007, of course.

And now I have to key the country in.

The list goes up to Belgium.

Belgium seems to be the last country in the world for Chinese (just joking;)






19:46

As I am becoming impatient I enter Belgium, for Chinese I will be Belgian, after all I speak French (but it is not said if it is Walloon or Flemish side...)





No more pick for you now, I keep on having an eye on my Hipihi page, perhaps at midnight Zanzibar will be reached and I will be able to register at last.

You will be informed.



You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience.
Stanislaw J. Lec, "Unkempt Thoughts", Polish writer (1909 - 1966)
