Something very wrong…

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 me

It 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 […]

Those in the Ubuntu community should share my excitement now. Today, 11th October 2007 may not be a very auspicious date for many people, but 7 days into the future will be for the Ubuntu community. Yes, the next installment of the successful Ubuntu Operating System will be launched! Nick-named Gutsy Gibbon, it may have […]

I have earned my first 5 cent!

Posted: 11th October 2007 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Silly me

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 […]

More 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 […]

As promised, here are the steps to embed a YouTube movie into your Friendster blog. Note that all other websites that points you to embed from inside YouTube is just fucking wrong! If you still don’t know, allow me to share with you the details of it. Let me first show you the wrong way […]

At long last, I splurged more than RM300 for a hosting and the rights to jackyyong.com! Please bear with me for a moment as I explore the complexity (or the lack of it) of webhosting, specifically using the Open Source scripts. In my site, I used Fantastico to deploy Drupal, hosted on Malaysia’s own Exabyte.com. […]

Prom Night

Posted: 16th April 2007 by Jacky Yong in Computers

I got myself a 430EX last month, but I needed practice on an assignment before I can be assured of my skill. Therefore I offered my service for free to a friend who is attending her prom night. I read all about using a flash unit properly, I even made a DIY diffuser by binding […]

AXED-P?

Posted: 12th April 2007 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Current Affairs, Silly me

Is this the end of the road for our trusted friend, the Windows XP? Is ol’ Bill so cruel as to cut the line for our beloved operating system once and for all? What used to be “X-perience”, could well be “aXed-Project”. Does it affect me? To a certain extend, yes. I still run XP […]
