Ubuntu’s latest incarnation just came out. Just like clock-work, it never fails to meet its release target date. The latest to come out of Canonical is version 8.04, exactly on 24th April 2008 just as planned. The main feature this time around is the LTS badge. LTS means Long Term Support, which means that the […]

How many of you have encountered this before? Upgrade your WordPress to the latest version 2.5, and when you try to upload a picture into your post, and BAM! You encounter an HTTP error! It says after crunching the picture: “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.”

WordPress 2.5 is here!

Posted: 5th April 2008 by Jacky Yong in Computers

Yay! I have successfully upgraded to WordPress 2.5! Nothing revolutionary from the outside, but on the inside, a lot have changed. The dashboard is much cleaner, much more slicker. The more important and most used stuffs (Write, Manage, Design, Comments) are grouped to the top left in bold, while the less used options (Settings, Plugins, […]

Advertlets Rawks!!

Posted: 29th March 2008 by Jacky Yong in Computers

Hey, this thing really works! Earlier I have written a review of Mudah.com.my after seeing a campaign by Advertlets to promote the site. They promised RM20 for the first 100 approved reviews, with terms and conditions that I can live with. And I was surprised when I checked my Advertlets account yesterday, they have credited […]

Mudah.com.my – Malaysia’s Marketplace

Posted: 27th March 2008 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Silly me

I’m sure you have by now found out about this site, Mudah.com.my. It’s Malaysia’s very own eBay, without the strict rules of eBay. The page loads fast and clutter free, unlike the complicated interface of eBay.com.my or the very user-unfriendly and advertisement laden page of Lelong.com.my. Its major selling point is that it is completely […]

U Mobile is here!

YAY!!! Another 3-G provider that is joining the wireless broadband foray! Rejoice, rejoice! You may be wondering, “Why should I be rejoicing? Does it concern me?” You should. Any sort of rivalry among the last mile broadband providers is a good thing for the consumers.

I have signed up for the Google Adsense a while back, and have been earning quite a sum, until the giant corporation banned me. After that I have been exploring other Google Adsense alternatives.

I have got a strange request from my colleague. She just came back from Hong Kong and she has taken lots of pictures in Disneyland. However to her dismay, in some important pictures her eyes were closed! She asked me, can I make her eyes open again? Have a look at this:

New Jackyyong.com!

Posted: 23rd January 2008 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Silly me

Behold, the new Jackyyong has arrived! Like it? Let me brief you over the changes that happened. The major overhaul that I braved through was the entire underlying backbone; it is now running on WordPress instead of Drupal! You the readers might not feel any difference, but let me tell you, the change is immediately […]

Change is good

Posted: 17th January 2008 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Silly me

Be prepared for lots of changes in Jackyyong.com soon. There are a lot of reasons for this, mainly because I am beginning to dislike Drupal. Drupal is exciting, in the beginning, but it’s getting quite tricky to manage. For one thing, I am unable to include sites of my friends as a random link, just […]
