It’s no secret that Japan and Korea have consumer phone technology light years ahead of everyone else, but I wonder if all of it is useful. Just as people have been going back and forth arguing about the use of HTML in emails, one could do the same about rich text formatting in SMS. One look at this SMS featurd in a Japanese drama makes me wonder if such a thing would …
Facebook’s handling of timestamps in different timezones leaves something to be desired. I often joke to Americans about living in the future, since Singapore is anything between 12-16 hours ahead of USA, but I don’t really expect to see international social websites not knowing how to handle different timezones properly.

However I thought I’d do a couple of photos comparing the 80GB iPod Classic to the 5th-generation 30GB iPod Video.apple, ipod Some ...

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 ...
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 ...

The wake was held on Monday and Tuesday, and yesterday morning he was cremated and his remains interred at Mandai Columbarium.That’s really all I intend to say about that here. Those who need to know more will know …

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 …
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 often eat at a little diner downstairs from my office which sells, among other things, “Hainanese” chicken rice. I choose to eat there usually because it’s cheap (given that I work in the main commercial district and most food is comparatively pretty expensive around here) and because the food’s actually pretty good. It helps ...
