Something is very wrong with my Drupal installation. I can’t seem to access the dynamic options below my “Create Content” page. Have a look at the screen below:
I was fucking banned by Google Adsense!
Posted: 16th October 2007 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Silly meIt was not too long ago that I have earned my first 5 cents online using Google Adsense, and I had high praises for it. Naturally, I was very excited at the prospect of making an earning from my blog! However greed sets in, and despite the warning against clicking on the ads in your […]

What a revelation! This came as quite a shock, as I thought that the open community should at least be open to the world’s most spoken language! Bummer. Fret not, it’s totally fixable. My version of Drupal uses the MySQL 5 (I dunno the exact sub version though). To enable posts in chinese, one has […]
Ever heard of the 5C’s criteria put on men? The famous C’s are: – (Credit) Card – Car – Condo – Cash – Country Club (membership) Well we do have some important criterias for them women too. I list them thus: 入得厨房 出得厅堂 There is however, one very important criteria that has been left out, […]

I have acquired the top of the range lens (currently) for the Canon’s cropped body despite every cell with a sense of financial intelligence in my body protesting against it. It’s a bloody expensive lens, and I’m still paying it with my blood and sweat. It’s a really painful purchase which still resonance till now.
What’s that you’re saying? 5 cent is not a big deal? Well, it is for me, when all I ever did was to do the two things that I like to do; blogging and taking pictures! =P How did I do it? Why, Google Adsense of course! As easy as signing up at http://www.google.com/adsense You […]
I am surprised when I saw the news in Google News today. The angkasawan is not only going to space, it is also a big news in the Science / Tech section of Google news! I can’t say that I’m agreeing or against the idea of sending a Malaysian into space. But Malaysian government has […]
Correcting white balance and exposure for a portion of an image
Posted: 4th October 2007 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Photography, Silly meMore often than not, I encounter pictures taken in very difficult lighting conditions that forced me to compromise. I recently took pictures of a bunch of models in a dark pub. Not an easy task I tell you. Flash was used extensively. And because my flash was not properly colour corrected, the colours of their […]
