New Blog created - Schnappi und Other Krokodil

I am not sure why but I think I am still a bit traumatized by what happened the other time when I shared a blog. Initially I wanted to add the long suffering Schnappi as an author to this blog, thinking that he would be able to edit my German übung directly. 

Found out the hard way that it is impossible, unless I set him as co-admin.

But anyway, after I added him as author, I felt this incredible naked feeling. I think it's got to do with the fact that this blog is becoming too personal. Initially it was supposed to be for my android development and food. Instead it is turning into a major bitchfest about everything happening to me.

So I created another one that we will be sharing. It will totally be in German. It is the "Schnappi" tab, otherwise the direct url is http://dasgrossekrokodil.blogspot.com/. 

If you understand German, do visit us at Schnappi (das Große Krokodil)!!! Anyway just to be irritating, I put my beloved Company of Heroes as background image. Hahaha.

Oh Google is evil again. Now I have to upgrade my storage because I ran out of the 1024GB free space. Damn. Now I have to change all my pictures to shitty quality. What a nightmare. How can Google encourage people to use Google+ and whatever, yet limit them to 1GB of storage for photos? *silent scream*

Oh I know why now, it is because I wouldn't create a Google+ account, and I have alot of pics that are 1200X1600. Refer to this from their FAQ on Free Storage sizes:
