WordPress 2.01 was released two days ago, fixing about 114 bugs. You can now specify an upload directory and whether to use date-based storage, caching has been fixed under certain PHP environments, and permalinks now work in odd setups.
We had our reunion dinner at just past four yesterday, pretty early, leaving the whole night to relax. My youngest sister suggested calling my primary school Chinese teacher so she could collect hong bao.
It's the eve of Chinese New Year, and I've released updates to six of my plugins, some just bug fixes; check the changelog for details. Among them, WP-DBManager 2.01 for WordPress 2.0 lets you optimise and back up your database.
I had an eventful weekend showing our Thailand friends around Singapore for shopping. They visited Chinatown, Little India, Funan IT Mall, HarbourFront and Suntec City. The most memorable was Little India, only my second time there.
There is a SQL injection vulnerability in wp-stats.php, which I've fixed by adding $wpdb->escape($string). Please download the latest version, WP-Stats 2.01, right now to stay protected. Apologies for the oversight; do update as soon as you can.
I caught Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit yesterday at GV Jurong Point. I'd heard mixed reviews, but I found it a good show, recommended, very funny and cute at once, especially those bunnies. A delightful watch overall.
WordPress 2.0 has finally been announced on the official site, with details about the changes. In the meantime, I've updated all eight of my plugins to be compatible with WordPress 2.0, including WP-Stats 2.00, which displays your blog statistics.
Happy New Year, everyone, it's 2006, just six more months to Germany 2006! I had dinner at CA yesterday, sitting there four hours, then chilled at Suntec's Fountain of Wealth before heading to the Esplanade for the fireworks.
I've mirrored two DotA Allstars maps for your downloading pleasure: version 6.27b and the 6.12b AI map. Just right-click and Save As to grab either one, and enjoy. Do let me know if you hit any issues with the downloads.
Finally, an update! I've been very busy lately, and only found time in camp to post this. I've just come back from my first gym session at SAFTI; I must exercise before I get fatter.
Day 1, Friday 2nd December 2005: our maxi cab arrived at 8am and we reached the airport just before 9am, breakfasting at the Terminal 1 canteen before checking in. Our flight FD3502 left at 11am, reaching Bangkok around noon.
I'm back from Thailand. Yesterday, when I switched on the main power in my room, a bright white flare burst from my cable modem for three seconds, and moments later I smelled smoke; my cable modem was completely fried.
I went to Sitex 2005 on Saturday, quite crowded with a lifestyle exhibition and Big Boyz Toyz alongside. I finally got myself a black Apple iPod Video 30GB for $521, plus a $26 accessories voucher.
I've released GaMerZ File Explorer 1.10. In case you don't know, it's a PHP script that lets you browse a directory much like Windows Explorer browses folders in Windows. Do check out the live demo to see it in action.
I caught Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at GV Grand, having booked a week ago; luckily I still got an odd 10.10pm slot, the rest sold out. The film runs a fair while.
Our military is cracking down on blogs posting negative comments, so to be safe, I've password-protected my previous post. The password is the same across all protected posts, and the hint is my girlfriend's full name, not hanyu pinyin.
I finally got my posting order, a month after downgrading. As of yesterday, 14th November 2005, I've been posted to SAFTI MI, INTEC, the Instructional Design and Development branch. I had mixed feelings, since it wasn't quite what I'd expected.
Here's a clip of Chicken Little dancing to O-Zone's famous song Dragostea Din Tei. It's often shown before movies to remind audiences to silence or switch off their phones. The 3.2MB clip is well worth a watch.
I typed a long post, clicked publish and lost it all. Anyway, I caught a sneak preview of Doom at GV Grand. The storyline is simple; I'm not sure why some reviews rated it poorly.
Li Xiang and I celebrated our first anniversary yesterday, codename 1024, on my dismounting shift. We prayed at Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple, then headed to Bugis to take Neoprints, before dinner at Tony Roma's.
I caught Tim Burton's Corpse Bride at Cathay Cineleisure; it was rather average, so I wonder why 8 Days gave it 4.5 stars. There's also a new Sony Gallery at Paragon, much bigger than the Wisma Atria one.
SanDisk and Sony have announced the development of the Memory Stick Micro, or M2, format, an ultra-small recording medium designed to meet the growing storage needs of highly compact, multifunctional mobile phones.
