Another wordpress upgrade
After a few trial and error, which seems to be the order of the day (see article on blunder blender), I did a few upgrades on wordpress (see previous article on Upgrading Wordpress and bookmarking).
The first thing I’ve upgraded was to include an automatic upgrade script for wordpress, many thanks to Techie Buzz. This is [...]
Ringtones to alert others
Someone on the train chose a baby’s cries as a ring tone on her phone. Her phone rang which made everyone turned their attention to her, only to realise she’s pregnant. Someone then stood up to offer her a seat. She didn’t even thank him and seem to think it’s her right. And her crying [...]
When did choosing a washing machine become so difficult?
Who says washing machine is boring? I tried to buy one and it was anything but boring! Until I was overwhelmed by choices… That was when I find washing machines really boring…
When i bought my very first washing machine, there were only 2 criteria - it works, and it’s cheap, maybe not in that order. [...]
Human slave, technology king
Deadlines. Bad project management. Bad combination. This is the time when you start to wonder why things don’t work the way they’re suppose to work, and a lot of the times, you realise that history finds its way to invade the present rather than stay in the past, just like our QWERTY keyboard.
So what happens [...]
Technological wonders make me wonder…
It’s strange to see myself in the mirror again, without glasses. I’ve been wearing glasses for the past 15 years, and basketball increased the turnover of my glasses. So much so that I’ve decided not to go for any ball near the D-zone - the danger zone under the basket! Avoiding the D-zone leaves me [...]
A day without my phone
Late for work. Rushed out the door. 2 minutes to the next train. Rushed through the gate. Train arrives. “Mind the gap”. Board the train. Door closes. Sh!t, I forgot my phone.
That information itself gave me a strange sensation. Should I go back to get it? Do I have any urgent tasks that I had [...]
Apple iPhone
With all the buzz created by the Apple iPhone, why is the name still being contested? With the introduction of appletv, Apple is trying to do away the traditional computer. In the same vein, apple is also trying to do away with the traditional phone. With all the revolutionary claims about the iPhone, wouldn’t it [...]
Upgrading wordpress & bookmarking
I’ve been putting this off since last year… and finally, i now can use version 2.0.6. This is my first upgrade since version 2.0 and I’ve been stumped by the backup stage. Anyway, instead of boring you with the details (and also showing my level of stupidity in following instructions!) I’m glad to say that [...]
Getting used to noise
The car stereo, with other people’s music. The construction site. The neighbour’s renovation, especially if he’s a DIY freak. The office photocopier (although they’re much quieter now). The fax machine (does anyone still use that?). The incessant loud chatting when you’re trying to do your work. The midnight snore of your partner. The child screaming [...]
