Just installed Picasa PC version and registered Picasa Web Albums. I found that it is quite convenience and easy to upload photo from Picasa (installed in PC) to the Picasa Web Albums. It is just a few clicks away then your photos are up to the web.
Apple’s iPhone is really hot recently. Every one is talking about it. In order to view a website in such a small phone could be difficult, your will need to scroll up and down; left and right in order to read all the content.
ContentRobot.com has created a plugin for WordPress so that when someone browse a wordpress blog using iPhone, wordpress will be able to detect the browser agent and generate the wordpress theme layout that fit into the iPhone’s web browser.
I was thinking to buy a entry level DSLR (Digital single-lens reflex) camera a years ago. Now is the time to get one. After I had reviewed several DSLR cameras at several websites and forums, I have shortlisted two good and affordable one. They are the Canon EOS 400D and Nikon D40X.
Join “Love Malaysia & Win Contest!” and stand a chance to win Sony Ericsson W850i Handphone, wireless mouse and keyboard. This contest is hosted by exabytes web hosting company. What you need to do is just to register as a contestant and put a script on your website.
Finally, I’m back again … with new theme …
Just upgraded to wordpress version 2.2.1, so far not much problem. All the plug-ins like “Auto-TrackBack by Category” and “Google sitemaps” still work well with the new wordpress. I still haven’t had time to explore the new features (e.g. widgets) in Wordpress but so far I like the little enhancement in user interface for the administrator side.

When I try to setup PHP and Apache in my notebook, I try to enable the .htaccess setting in apache’s httpd.conf. After I tried for a few hours (YES, a few hours) at my notebook and google-ing on the internet, finally I found the complete solution.
I record the steps here so that it can help those who want to enable .htaccess and url rewriting in Apache for Windows and also for my own reference in future.
1. Make sure you have setup apache and php correctly. Make sure that you can run php scripts without any problem.
2. Use notepad to open httpd.conf config file. Make use the line “LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so” is un-commented.
3. Under “<directory XXX></directory>” section, change the line “AllowOverride None” to “AllowOverride All“.
4. Change the line “AccessFileName .htaccess” to “AccessFileName htaccess“. This is because in Windows, we can’t have a file with filename that starts with a dot.
5. Save the changed file and restart Apache Windows Service. You can then use the file htaccess to process your url rewritting.
Recently I feel that spam emails are getting smarter. Every morning when I open up my mailbox, I always see 2 to 3 spam mails in my inbox which suppose to be delivered into spam/junk/bulk folder.
I am using Gmail, yahoo mail and hotmail. Here are the statistic of spam emails.
Are spammers getting smarter? Or spam filter become weaker?
SupermanHaze Returns! I smell the haze once I get out from my car towards my house just now. It become stronger and stronger this few days. It’s back!
The haze make few feel sick this few days… make me feel dizzy… damm… must drink more water!
I uploaded my new theme last few days and it runs without any problem (so far).
I also deleted the “Archives” page because I already added it at my sidebar.
I also deleted the “Wordpress Theme” page because I feel the old theme is quite ugly.. hehe.
I also added a “About” page.
Just now when I browse to my “About” page, I saw a Google Video Ads. This is the first time I see this type of ads and somemore it is on my own blog :)
Oh… long time didn’t blog about things happening on the internet. Today I found a nice tool which I want try out, I found it at LiewCF … but unfoturnately, the site keep showing this error message:
DEBUG INFORMATION:
Connect: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
Maybe the site has too much of visitors at the time I visit. I will try it out later.
The tool I mentioned is call “Page Strength”. It is a site that tells you the importance and visibility of a web page. It is like Google PageRank but I think this one seems more interesting. Page Strength use many factors to determine the “strength” of a site:
Anyway, two of the strengths from “Page Strenth” are based on Google’s statistic.
Driving is very tiring…
… especially driving home after a long day work. I’m a software programmer cum tester, I think a lot… After a 8 hours of working hours (sometime more than that), I always want to go back as soon as possible…
… it is really tiring when I’m trapped in traffic jam on my way home, it is not once… but 2 to 3 times trapped in traffic jam (road infront Prince hotel, road in front TimeSquare, Jln Syed Putra, roundabout at Jln Gasing…).
… everyday, I tried to speed up (well my top speed at Jalan Syed Putra is 90km/h and I’m always behind my colleague’s whom go home together at the same time) whenever the traffic is a bit smooth because I want reach home as soon as possible… to have my dinner, relax and watch tv series …
… speeding make me take extra caution. this is tiring also. I’m driving a 7 years old car with manual gear transmission. I need to aware the car from the left, from the right, from infront and from behind. I need to consider the car distance and see if the car behind is too close to mine whenI want to press the break…
… when driving at night, the lights of cars from the other side of road and behind make my eyes tiring also… but I can’t avoid that. I need to keep my eyes open …
… when driving home, my brain almost stop functioning, I’m tired, I don’t want think anything else… So, I rarely talk in car. I already suspended my mind, relaxing my mind, listen to the songs play in radio… I skipped those gossip because I just don’t like that…
… since university time, 7 years ago, I used to be like that. No one talking in the car (since I’m the only one in the car), soft music and… traffic jam …
… whenever I can go back early from university and if there is no jam, me and one of my coursemate will race at Jln Gasing (not too fast but it’s quite fast in that small road). I’m driving my “mclaren” (my grey color Proton Wira), he was driving his “ferrari” (his read color old Mazda model), we played “missed call” on our phone while driving, we raced untill the junction to Old Klang Road …
… I think I spent too much on car. I spent about RM300/month for petrol and RM70/month for car park. Sometimes, I use NPE toll when want go back home fast (when I’m sick or got appointment), it cost me RM1.60…
… What about car maintenance and car wash? I used about RM300++ on my car’s maintenace in this month and RM200++ last month. I was thinking to buy a new car which is petrol saving type. After an advise from a friend with some calculation, it is not worth to buy a new car just for petrol saving…
… maybe I should try to take public transport for a week someday and see if it will be more economic than driving a car in city…
… sigh … maybe I should find more money for accommodate that problem :) …
