Just following the trend, I've installed MediaWiki on my site. For the uninitiated, MediaWiki is the same software that powers Wikipedia. I plan to post things there that need frequent updating, starting with my WordPress plugins to-do list.
I love an iced caffe latte, and when I start work I hope there's a Starbucks nearby. My ranking, best to worst: Starbucks, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Gloria Jean's, McCafe and Spinelli.
I caught Shooter on Sunday night, a film over two hours long that was slightly above average. The main character, Bob Lee Swagger, played by Mark Wahlberg, is practically an aimbot, with near-100% accuracy.
Li Xiang tagged me with this game: each player lists six weird things about themselves, then tags six others, who must blog their own six weird things and state the rules. Number one: I speak very fast.
I caught Sunshine at GV Jurong Point and the film was pure rubbish; I should have watched Shooter instead. This is the third consecutive time I couldn't watch in peace at GV Jurong Point, and I've no idea why.
Fifty memorable things for Singaporean teenagers, so sit back, enjoy and think back. Were you one of these? You grew up watching He-Man, Transformers, SilverHawks and Mickey Mouse, not forgetting the Ninja Turtles and the Smurfs.
Things you may not know, part one to thirty. Look at your zipper: the initials YKK stand for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikigaisha, the world's largest zipper maker. Around 40% of McDonald's profits come from Happy Meals.
A raid by Malaysian authorities on a Johor Baru shop has turned up a customer list, which will be handed to the police here. The database of names, phone numbers and addresses was found on the shop's PC.
I recently stumbled upon Ping.sg and, seeing its potential, registered both my blog and my development blog with it. I think it's much better than Tomorrow.sg, and amusingly my site's Alexa ranking is higher than either Ping.sg's or Tomorrow.sg's.
I celebrated my birthday with my polytechnic classmates last Thursday at Glass House Fish & Co. I'd first wanted Tao's Restaurant, but found its $28.80++ seven-course set dinner a bit pricey, whereas Fish & Co tops out around $24.
I celebrated my birthday with family at Dian Xiao Er in VivoCity a day early, since my parents, grandparents and uncle are off to Vietnam. My birthday cake was a Ben & Jerry's ice cream cake.
It's now just past midnight, so I'm officially 23 years old! Another year older, hopefully a little wiser, and grateful for everyone who's been part of the journey. Here's to whatever the year ahead has in store for me.
OMGWTFBBQ, the Resident Evil: Extinction trailer is out! I've been looking forward to this after a disappointing Resident Evil: Apocalypse, so hopefully this one delivers. This episode should be the last of the Resident Evil movie sequels.
It's been a busy fortnight with end-of-semester assignments due, and I've been doing my CS2261 EJB work at Starbucks while Li Xiang draws. Now I know which Starbucks have power-outlet seats! I also caught Music & Lyrics at GV VivoCity.
EA Los Angeles is pleased to announce that the highly anticipated Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars for PC has officially gone gold and reaches store shelves nationwide on 28th March. Expect fast, fluid gameplay and a breakthrough single-player campaign.
I found this nice little site via HardwareZone forums: dnScoop. It bundles many domain tools into one convenient package, including a traffic tool, whois, domain history, popularity, an appraisal or site value report, a link value report and page-rank checks.
I've been swamped with school as the semester ends, with two reports and a programming assignment still to do. I just submitted my CS2250 video assignment; the lecturer was very strict, insisting it stay under five minutes.
Dear fellow Singaporeans, I need your help filling out this survey about Wireless@SG. It's for one of my NUS modules, CS1105. It only takes a few minutes, and your responses would really help with my coursework. Thanks in advance!
My Technorati ranking has jumped from 6,203 to 2,720. Thanks to everyone who's been linking to my site; it really does make a difference, and I appreciate the support that keeps this little blog climbing the rankings.
This Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars demo offers a sample of the full game's single-player content, including an interactive tutorial, two early missions from the GDI campaign, and one 1-versus-1 skirmish map against a computer-controlled Nod army.
Wishing all Chinese a Happy Chinese New Year 2007, the year of the pig, the last animal of the zodiac. I've been busy lately; my parents and brother holidayed in Shenzhen while I stayed in Singapore to mind the household.
We celebrated our third Valentine's Day together. I gave her a heart-shaped chocolate ice cream cake from Swensen's and a bouquet of six pink roses, bought from a reliable HardwareZone reseller, Flora De Petals.
