Microsoft Windows Vista From NUS
I just realised I can get Microsoft Vista free from my school, and I'm downloading it now. A shame it comes on five CDs rather than one DVD. Still deciding whether to install it on my desktop or laptop.

Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows Vista should be in retail stores today, and Microsoft has revamped its Vista homepage. I tried Vista and it lags my four-year-old Pentium 4 3.2GHz with ATI X800 graphics, so I'll only get it when I upgrade.
Worst Domain Names
Check out these listings of the worst domain names ever registered: Top 10 Worst Domain Names, plus 20 More Unfortunate Domain Names. Some are unintentionally hilarious once you read the run-together words the wrong way. Worth a good laugh.
Plugins Updated For WordPress 2.1
Alongside today's release of WordPress 2.1, I've updated the following plugins for it. Most work only on WordPress 2.1 and will break on 2.0.x; if you still need a 2.0.x version for any reason, the download link is included below.
Dreamhost After A Week
So far I'm very satisfied with Dreamhost's customer support. I filed three support tickets this week, with the fastest reply within 15 minutes and the slowest within 24 hours. The site went down this evening too.
Changing Of Host Completed
If you can see this announcement, the site has successfully moved to its new host, Dreamhost. I signed a two-year contract for US$100.80, so hopefully they don't let me down. Load time is noticeably slower for me now.
First Day Of Semester 2 06/07
After over a month of holidays, semester 2 of academic year 2006/2007 finally started today. I must work extra hard to pull my crappy 3.18 GPA up to maybe 3.2 or 3.3, and hopefully above 3.5 before I graduate.
My Dream PC In 2008 Part II
I posted my dream PC specs back in August 2006, and some now look unrealistic, so I've been researching. The Intel Core 2 Quad heading mainstream this year is codenamed Kentsfield, essentially two dual-core dies on one package.
Year 1, Semester 2 Modules
These are the modules I'm taking in my first year, second semester: Principles of Economics, Financial Accounting, Computing and Society, Fundamentals of Information Systems, and Enterprise Systems Development. A solid, varied load to push through the term.
Mom’s Accounting Server
I went to Sim Lim Square today to buy my mom's accounting server. As always, I bought from Fuwell, whose service from Kelvin Siah I love. It's built around an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600.
Updated 4 Of My WordPress Plugins & 1 New WordPress Plugin
I've released updates to four of my WordPress plugins: WP-Polls 2.13, WP-PostRatings 1.05, WP-Stats 2.06 and WP-UserOnline 2.06. All four are now internationalised, so you can easily localise them by translating the included .po file into your own language.
