What features would you like Movable Type Pro to have? My number one request is Subcategories. So I won’t need to split up all my geek posts into separate groups, like what I’m doing now. Next on my list: Automatic rebuilding of specific pages that have been affected by a modification. Most of the time, …

As of yesterday, my job title has been reviewed from ‘Design Technology Advisor’ to ‘Web Technology Advisor’. Which is more in line with what I’m doing now, what I’m going to teach, and what I’m going to learn more about, in the future. Can’t wait to see my new name cards!
If I think very hard about it, I probably have like 21 things to do by yesterday, and I haven’t completed anything yet. I will be reorganising this blog into new categories which better suit the subject matter in my posts. Please excuse any mess that may result. Update: I had dinner with cousin Luke …
I’m going overseas next week to train people in web techniques and hopefully get them to appreciate and implement web standards in their work. At the same time, I’m also teaching a few good friends how to customise their own blog templates using stylesheets. I guess it’s almost like killing two birds with one stone, …
It’s late. I didn’t have a chance to blog yesterday because I had a rushed job to complete. I leave next week for Manila with my training whip (yes, yes, I’m going to Makati and I have insurance coverage) which means I have to get all my work for the next couple of weeks, done …
I just got home from Vanny’s farewell party. Saturday was a day of madness, with me driving from one end of Singapore to the other, within an hour. I performed a song I wrote years ago, which means nothing to me anymore. I have many such songs. I wonder what makes people fall in love. …
Good news for sociable Movable Type users: Meetup with other local fans of Movable Type to discuss changes and plug-ins, offer tips, and gush about this customizable publishing system. I’ve logged in to the Singapore division, cast my vote for the venue and offered to be a host for this local event. The time of …
It appears that a beta tester of Macromedia’s forthcoming Flash 7, couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Screen shots and more data are posted on the Flashmove forum. Well, it’s either a leak or a very clever marketing ploy, because it’s got me hooked. Ogle, everybody, ogle. Seems there’ll be two different versions of Flash 7, …
Jack Neo’s movie (literally translated as Run, children, run) didn’t move me enough to tears, unlike its predecessor I Not Stupid, but it is still good enough by local standards. The plot is adapted from an Iranian (?) story and tugs at the same old heartstrings. Children once again are the stars of the show, …
Microsoft has lost another major client, The US Navy: The new way of fighting is built around Internet standards, including web pages, routers, Ethernet, instant messaging, and chat rooms. Casualties appear to be both expensive customized systems and Microsoft software. What users probably don’t like about Microsoft: High price tags for many of its products, …
