After my original post on hating university life — little more than two sentences long with no real substance whatsoever — reached over 300 comments in the past 4 years, with new comments trickling in every few days or so even now, I've decided that it's time this took on a separate identity from the rest of my blog. So here we are: a new domain, a new blog, and …

As mentioned on the recent two episodes of the excellent Security Now podcast, an vulnerability in Windows (both XP and Vista) was recently discovered and there are now code samples of remote code exploits available utilising this vulnerability. Long story short: if you are still unfortunate enough to be using Windows, make sure you patch ...
Yeah, so I failed my driving test today due primarily to carelessness, ever the thorn in my side. That’s all I really have to say about it. Three months until my retest. Some rights reserved | Permalink | 0 replies Add to del.icio.us Search blogs linking this post with Technorati
I’ve been trying Safari on my corporate Windows laptop, and I’m actually finding it a viable alternative to Firefox and IE on Windows. The odd thing is, I can’t bear to use Safari on the Mac (where it rightfully belongs). On the Mac version, I can’t use Ctrl-Tab to navigate through the various tabs… but ...
I haven’t been a Facebook user for a terribly long time, and despite the initial burst of enthusiasm I haven’t been to the site very much recently. As with Friendster before it, I now only login to approve or ignore requests, maybe once a week or two. It won’t be too long before I start ...
I know that the only thing this means is that Leo finally made his way through the undoubtedly vast queue of people lining up to be his Facebook friend and got around to adding me, and nothing more than that, but it still made my day to see this in my Facebook mini feed. Some rights ...

The Asian launch has been set for next year. Apple is hoping to sell 10 ...
iDisk seems a little less stable in Leopard than it used to be in Tiger, as Jon points out. Apart from the speed issue — which I generally don’t notice since I hardly use my iDisk fo …
Stardust is, that is. The movie. Absolutely brilliant. Pardon the pun.Despite my initial misgivings after watching the trailer, I must say that this screen adaptation of a great book is most definitely a great movie in its own right. It’s different, though, that’s for certain. Entire scenes and characters have been excised from the book, ...
The Campus Observer (via Tomorrow.sg) reports that Zhao Ke, who hacked into his junior college’s computer system and was awarded a S$15,000 fine, is now going to have his fine paid off for him by an anonymous benefactor. What a load of bullshit. Some rights reserved | Permalink | 0 replies Add to del.icio.us Search blogs ...
In the US Apple store, Mac OS X 10.5 can be pre-ordered for US$129 (S$187 at an exchange rate of 1.45). On the other hand, the Singapore store has it listed for S$238. Why does Leopard cost nearly $50 more in Singapore than it does in the US?To further rub salt in the wound, Amazon ...
This makes me feel a lot better about my own poor command of Mandarin. Perhaps the Chinese government should learn from Singapore and initiate a heavily-hyped yet utterly ineffective ̶ …
Now that WordPress 2.3 is out, I’ve updated the Feeds Widget plugin to improve compatibility with the new tagging system. Previously, the plugin looked for the presence of Ultimate Tag Warrior to generate links to tag feeds; it no longer does this, naturally. (If you’ve not upgraded to 2.3 and are still using UTW, you ...

While Western consumers prefer to have bronze-coloured skin and spend more on sun tanning lotion, facial whitening products are getting increasingly popular among Asian consumers. According to a report by Asian Market Intelligence, over half of all women in China and ...
