People who know me, know that I generally keep a low profile. I do not aim to be popular, I do not aim to get special treatment etc.Yes I do know cliques will ALWAYS form in any social environment. Humans are gregarious - we always seek out like-minded people and connect with them. That's how societies develop. That's how villages and towns and cities are built.Giving a label …
I was just making my usual rounds of pingsters' blogs this morning (hey, people surf news sites, I surf blogs ok?), and guess what?Yeah, for some reason the company has decided to block his blog! Makes you wonder how a humour blog can garner a "Malicious Web Reputation" eh? And, it's not just that post either. Going to the actual URL is also blocked.No, blogspot.com isn't …
The other day while at the pub, we were just talking to a female customer whom we've never seen before. That doesn't mean anything ok? Just saying she's not a regular patron there. Anyway, she looked agitated at the time. Eventually, when alcohol loosened her up (alcohol does that, you know? It's just one of alcohols' many magical properties) she finally told us an incredible …
As usual, I'm doing my usual blog-surfing thing at work. At one of my regular stops, at KongTechnology, I came across this article. Hmm so it appears that Advertlets have registered the domain ping.my. ping.my - The Community Meta Blog via kwout Now, remembering the fiasco that happened in Jan 2008 to Advertlets' servers, I am very very hesitant to rejoin them. My …
What the heck is happening? I get tied up in my own problems (Google and blogspot.com problems) for a week and something exploded in ping.sg, one of my favourite hangouts.I read through some posts, notably Endoh's and Krisandro's (and Krisandro's again). It's sad to see things like this actually happening. However, one must bear in mind, it's human nature to have differing …
Ok some might call me a perfectionist, but I truly am not. I just thought that I should go around killing all the Templars and collect all the flags that I can find since I'm out there doing stuff anyway. Running around Damascus or Jerusalem blindly hoping to run into flags or a Templar is a time-consuming process. Thus, I broke out my trust Firefox browser and went Googling …
Some time back I wrote that Streetdirectory is somewhat back, minus some useful features that us Singaporeans have come to take for granted. When it went offline, I am sure many of us must have felt really lost.Until recently, I have been manually using Google Maps and cross referencing with SBS and SMRT manually to find out how to get to a location.After reading dk's post on …
Watch Movies Online For Free Full Movie Downloads: Streaming movie site. Can’t see a way to download movies yet though, but it’s ok…
After the Alexa ranking fiasco, Izea tried to convince us that their "Realrank" is the way to go. While I still trust Google Analytics more than anything else, let's have a look at their "realrank" and see what it says.If your blog is on Pay Per Post or you have joined Social Spark, the piece of code they tell you to put into your blog helps them to rank your blog using their …
Image via WikipediaA quick one today. I came across this on my usual random surfing among blogs and websites and randomly clicking on interesting links.Imagine my surprise when I found this!Windows Vista is really a simple piece of software! Even a layman (ie non-programmer) should be able to understand the source code listed below. In fact you'd be amazed by how simple it …
No seriously, I was there... :)Yeah I popped by the place about 8pm or so. I thought they'd all be done with dinner by then, but nooooo... they've just started to order their dinner! Geez. I was on my way to a friend's birthday bash, which was near the place they were having the ping.sg gathering thingy, so I just swung by for a bit.Yeah you'd be surprise how many turned up. …
Some time back, I needed to get a new air conditioner unit for my place. As usual, what does a geek do? Yeah surf the net and compare prices and do research. After a while, I have a general price point I wanted, and roughly the type of air conditioner too, although no specific brands have been decided.So off I went, to Harvey Norman, Best Denki, Courts et al, to check prices …
Yes, by now most Singaporeans would have known about Streetdirectory.com shutting down due to their lawsuit with SLA (Singapore Land Authority). Many Singaporeans actually depend on this free service, truth to tell. When someone organises a ping.sg gathering at some far-flung corners of Singapore, we'd all head to streetdirectory.com to see how we can get there in one piece. …
I couldn't believe my eyes when I came across these... wow!I'm just.... floored....Tags: humour
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. We were slowly strolling along Orchard Road, and then decided to look for a place to sit down and have a drink and maybe a bite to eat.So, we plunked ourselves down at an open-air cafe that's situated along the pavement.When the waitress brought the menu to us, I couldn't help but take this pic:Cool.. we dined at Nude Restaurant!
Recently I came across this website called Ripcords. Now, I was just minding my own business, but my friend was just asked me "other than Bodylastics, what else is out there?". Of course my natural reaction was "Why get the rest when Bodylastic's the best?" So he gave me this URL to check out - Ripcords. At first glance, Ripcords seem just like …
Many times, it has been said that Singapore has a very low crime rate. Foreign workers come here and commented at how safe they feel at night, being able to go out at 3am and yet not get mugged on the streets. Women here generally feel safe enough to be out and about alone at nights.But, how safe is Singapore, really?I was reading an article here, where some people decided to …
Image via WikipediaI was amused this morning, when I came across this website. In summary, Microsoft is giving away money to get people to use Internet Explorer 8.Why amused? Because for all their dirty underhanded tactics, they are still losing ground. Back in 1995 when they first introduced Internet Explorer on Windows 95, the king of browsers back then was Netscape …
Recently I have been testing out different burning software, and in the process I burnt a few video to DVDs, both as video files on a data disk, as well as making a DVD-Video disk playable in DVD players.What I have come to realise is that, there is a fundamental difference between the 2 formats - DVD+R and DVD-R, when it comes to producing a DVD-Video disk (those that you …
Some of you might have noticed I kind of "disappeared" recently. Hardly around, and even my Entrecard activity was severely curtailed. The reason? I was busy migrating 2 of my blogs out from Google's Blogspot.com servers onto my own.In the early part of the week, I was cut off by Google from accessing 2 of my blogs. I kept getting the damned "Google Sorry Page". At first, …
