Several times now, Singapore has appeared on the top searches list on Technorati. From Sarong Party Girl and NKF in mid-2005, to Daphne Teo and Dawn Yang in late 2005, the Tammy sex video in early 2006, and Wee Shu Min just last October, there’s no denying that Singapore has often managed to find top spots in blogosphere rankings.Today, as I was visiting the coComment …
It’s been a pretty long time in the making, but WordPress 2.1 “Ella” (almost all WordPress releases are named after jazz musicians) has finally reached release status. I’ve already been using the development version of 2.1 on this blog since July, and every time I had to log into one of my other blogs that was still using the 2.0.x releases, I would …

I don’t know how many times I’ve suffered hard disk failures in my lifetime, but if I had to guess, I’d say “too many”. Each time it happened, I swore to start doing regular backups and making sure I never suffer data loss again. As you can imagine, each time my resolve and persistence faltered, and, quite predictably, I eventually found myself …
Since several people had requested this feature in my Feeds Widget plugin for WordPress, I’m now releasing version 1.2 which adds the option to display an image before each feed link that the widget generates. This is primarily for those who have difficulty in getting the CSS icon to display properly, and will generate a proper XHTML-compliant image tag before each …

I watched the first Death Note movie. Tonight I watched the sequel and finale. I was initially a little skeptical as to how they would be able to condense the manga’s somewhat long storyline into the two movies, and was afraid that much of the events after the first movie would receive a major rewrite. To my pleasant surprise, the screenwriters actually managed to …
a rather insightful article which talks about the kind of culture shock that Windows users seeking to switch to Linux tend to experience. It’s a good read for both camps: Windows users will gain a better understanding of some of the barriers that they might face, and Linux users will gain a better understanding of how their attitudes towards Linux and software can …
Last night I attended an Inter-Faith dinner, organised by several religious groups here in Singapore. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as the Guest of Honour and the event was held at the Singapore Expo Hall 1. All the major religions were represented, as well as several more obscure ones. All in all the event was, in my most humble opinion, a waste of time.Once we were seated, …
While Threadless prints a lot of great t-shirts, there are hundreds more great designs that don’t get printed. This is one of them: “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak was a book I remember reading as a child, and indeed is one of the classic children’s books that any child should have a chance to read and enjoy. This t-shirt design is a …
Found this great little snippet from an article on Yahoo! News about political satire in Singapore, talking about sites such as the venerable TalkingCock.com:“These websites touch a popular vein. They deal with issues of everyday life in a language that can be understood in the kopitiam (coffee shop). It’s like the parables of Jesus,” said researcher Gillian …
HP LaserJet 2600N from Sitex. I’d originally planned on picking up the LaserJet 1600 instead, but unfortunately I found out that there is no official Mac support for that printer from HP. So I ended up getting the more expensive 2600N instead, which had the additional advantage of being network ready. What’s this got to do with a D-Link product? Glad you asked. …

One of the first del.icio.us members I added to my network was that of Jon Hicks, an “A-list” web designer. After a while I started noticing he was bookmarking a lot of pages on a site called “Threadless“, and eventually after seeing enough of those links show up, my curiousity was sufficiently piqued to go and take a look at what he was so interested …
My new 20″ iMac arrived today. I posted a bunch of unpacking pics in my Flickr account, as is the tradition for anyone receiving a new Apple product. I’m incredibly pleased with this purchase, so far — though admittedly, the 4 year build-up of anticipation might have pushed me along somewhat — and I’m certainly glad to be replacing my aging …
I went to watch Casino Royale this evening, the new James Bond movie. I went with the expectation that it would not be a traditional Bond flick by any means: the trailers and the hype had all indicated that it would be more serious, more realistic, darker, and certainly not campy. My expectation was, for the most, met satisfactorily. I have not watched a Bond movie since the …
One of the biggest changes for me as I switch to a Mac as my main computer next week won’t be getting used to the new operating system: after all, I’ve been using OS X on the Mac Mini at home for nearly two years now. Nor is it likely to be adjusting to a different user community: I’ve been arrogant and snarky long before I knew what the Mac community was …
PC user, and nearly a year of enjoying Linux, I’m finally going to get a Mac. Finally. Ever since I got stiffed at NUS (I wanted to get a PowerBook but they weren’t available at the time I needed to get a laptop, so I ended up getting a Toshiba instead — and wouldn’t you know it, PowerBooks were back on the menu just two months later) I’ve been …
If your website loads ridiculous-looking Flash animations, or just plain doesn’t work in Firefox, then it doesn’t matter how hungry or lazy I am: you’ve lost me as a potential customer.
Guess I’ll actually have to go out to get dinner tonight.

So today I did something that clearly marks my foray into a new and unfamiliar world: I bought my first life insurance policy.
O brave new world! ‘Tis new to me.
