In a perfect world, a car would only cost as much as the materials used to produce it. No other excise duty is imposed upon it. In a perfect world, I only work from 9 am to 5 pm daily, without worrying whether or not I will need to work extra hours. In a perfect […]

IPSERVERONE – Malaysia Web Hosting
Posted: 21st August 2008 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Current Affairs, Silly meTags: malaysia web hosting, web hosting
For those who have not heard of web hosting, it is about having your own domain name and sharing your creation to the world, 24x7x365. By creation, I mean having either writing your own HTML or codes from scratch, or having ready-scripts deployed to your website. For a majority of bloggers, they fall into this […]
This site is in dire need of an upgrade for a long time. If you have been to that site, you would have noticed the skewed arrangement of the blog. Very unprofessional! I have also received complaint that some of my friends were not able to comment on the posts in this particular website. I […]
Finally, after much delay, upgraded myself into WordPress 2.6. Nothing much happened, the only biggest issue was that Alex King’s Popularity Contest is still not working. Activating it causes a “Fatal Error” to be displayed. But that is not news since WordPress 2.5. According to websites, Alex King is too busy to clean up his […]
3rd time charmed!

That’s how I would describe Firefox 3, the latest incarnation of the highly successful browser these days. I have fulfilled my pledge to download Firefox 3 and be part of the Guinness World Record attempt for the highest number of downloads in 24 hours. I downloaded and installed it successfully at 3:25 am, +8 GMT. […]

Oh goody! Firefox is finally coming, I’m so excited about it! Why shouldn’t I be? Firefox3 is a better browser than its predecessors and certainly much better than Internet Explorer 7. I know, I’ve been using it in my latest Ubuntu installation since April. The thing that immediately caught my attention was the speed at […]

The bane of using Micro$oft, you get all kinds of worms and trojans. Even if you are an IT geek, you’re not invulnerable from these little pest. I had just opens the page, and it auto downloads. Before I have any say in whether or not to scan it, Trend Micro has “intelligently” verified that […]
No XMMS for me!

I give up. I can’t seem to find back XMMS in Hardy. But this is Linux world, everything is available, you just have to look harder. I bumped into Audacious, and it looks like a good XMMS replacement. Contrary to what everybody thinks, XMMS2 is NOT a replacement for XMMS. It’s actually a command line […]
Sometimes somewhere, you encounter some really stupid sites that are trying to be helpful, but they expected you to know how or what to do with the file. Happens quite often in the world of Linux. I was trying to get myself the XMMS from the apt-get, but unfortunately I couldn’t find it. The error […]
Sometimes it’s not that good to have too much updates so often. Every now and then I will have to be bugged by the message “Your WordPress is out of date. Please update to version xxx”. To be honest, I feel harassed. It seem that it wasn’t that long ago that I upgraded to version […]
