It’s been awhile since I have had any dose of live music. If you know me, you should know that I’m a big fan of live music, especially progressive rock and metal.Just attended 30-min of Lunarin acoustic show in NUS. Free of charge. It’s short and I only got to hear 4 of Lunarin’s in-progress new songs.Lunarin’s probably the only Singapore band …
As I’ve blogged about it earlier, I played in the USD150+20 tournament yesterday. I was so glad that the organizer didn’t stick with their earlier announced tournament structure and had started with 2500 chips and using a blind structure different from the main event’s and more suited for lower chip stacks. I’d say the tournament director has done a …
Trackback and Pingit! were two of the methods that were brought over from the beta stage of Ping.sg when the “Update Now” and XML-RPC service were still under development.Even though we have stopped listing Trackback and Pingit! as one of the pinging methods ever since we launched version 1, there are still some blogs that are still using trackback as of now. …
To my horror, Google has ugly-ized Writely’s homepage and its word processor interface.
Will Youtube suffer the same fate?
Is Windows Vista launching in Singapore next week like in the USA? But why is it so quiet? I believe I am still on Microsoft Singapore’s mailing list, but I have yet to receive anything regarding its launch party over here (not that I want to attend).What’s Microsoft Singapore’s promotional team doing? Or is Vista’s next week launch date applies for …
The most amazing piece of software that I have found after the my switch to Pocket PC from Palm 3 months ago has got to be this, GMobileSync. And it has just been released this month, and it’s FREE!I have hated Microsoft Outlook since day 1 of my Pocket PC use. It’s just dumb, requiring too many unnecessary clicks for simple actions, and the 2-way syncing is …
I’m in my examination period, for 2 weeks. Probably my worst exam week so far.
I have almost no interest in what I’m learning now (I think it’s because of exams, those topics are generally quite interesting if it’s not part of the curriculum). And I can’t concentrate. That’s a big problem.
I believe too much use of computers can kill …
This blog hasn’t been updated for awhile. Not that I have lost my passion in blogging, but I would like to blame it partly on Twitter and partly on the fact that I am pretty sick of Wordpress. I have been wanting to redo my blog but haven’t found time.I am just back from a ...
Why did this guy get a refund while I don’t?
I called up Dell, twice and wrote email to them when I was negotiating for a purchase of my Dell laptop to get a refund for Windows tax. On all occasions, they told me no, Dell comes prebundled with Windows and they needed Windows to make sure that my laptop’s working before being shipped to me and there is no any other …
Everyone’s having a good time in December, but definitely not me.
I think I have overloaded myself with commitments and work this December.
Here are some of them, in summary:
Ping.sg - I am working with a designer and also improving its functionality and usability to get it ready for the upcoming version 1. I am very much excited about this and I wish I can devote my …
The final episode of Stargate SG-1 has just aired on SkyOne (UK) a couple of hours ago.If you haven’t already known, Stargate SG-1 has been showing for 10 years and is currently the longest running sci-fi television series in the USA. It’s kind of sad to see a series that have been with me since I was just a kid ends. I practically grew up with Stargate SG-1. I …
It has been quite awhile since Ping.sg gets an update. The ideas sections are almost full with juicy ideas. We would love to implement most, if not all, of them as soon as possible but uzyn is currently tied up with his studies in the final semester. (Don’t do electrical engieering. The workload is horrible.) Thanks to all the Pingers for the continuous support and the …
Yes it’s been almost a week since I’m back from Bangkok with Sek Ling.It was fun in Bangkok. Good food and cheap stuff. We went there with 2 luggages and came back with 4 luggages filled. Except for the fact that some of the thais constantly trying to scam tourists, it was a totally enjoyable trip. We thought 5 days and 4 nights in 1 city would be long but it …

It was a blast, and we had alot of fun and laughter there too! The venue this time was at Geek Terminal, and its a very cool place to hang …
But I had to reject it.
I have finally received an offer to auto update to Internet Explorer 7 yesterday morning when I turn on my laptop.
As my work is all about web, I would need to test my work on at least the browser that most people are still using today, IE6, I had to reject the offer and stick with the ugly and useless IE6.
What I’m surprised that my desktop is …
It’s time the forum gets some street lamp.Ping.sg’s homepage would now show the latest discussions on our forum, which once known as the dark alley of the main site. Look out for the “latest on forum” box right underneath the shoutbox.Do join in and participate in the forum. There have been some pretty interesting discussions going on in the forum, …
There have been so much attention by the masses on this thing called Web 2.0. Everyone sings praises about Web 2.0, everyone thinks it’s today’s biggest thing, and oddly, also the next big thing. People who are in it thinks they’re cool and they are like the rock stars of tech. People who are are not in it hope that they could be part of it. Even Singapore …
What the hell…
I’ve just checked my final exam dates. They’re on 23, 25, 28, 30 of Nov.
Hey, aren’t 23rd and 25th Nov still in the same week as study week?
Now I don’t know how will I find time to study. I’m still doing my 6-person-per-group school project, EE4214 - Real Time Embeded Systems almost by myself.
Someone get me out of this hell …
