OK, so I’m back from the cruise. We watched some good shows in the style of Cirque du Soleil, complete with an opera singer from Belarus. There was a 21-year old midget from China whom I could have sworn seeing back in Singapore’s Millennia Walk. I suppose he goes places… I also lost everything I …
Month: July 2004
I will be going on a cruise for the next four days, so take care and I’ll catch up with everyone when I get back (or if I find an internet connection on board). Ta!
A hearty congratulations to Jay Allen for winning the Movable Type 3.0 plugin developer’s contest. Considering what previous versions of MT-Blacklist have done for my battle against comment spam (and for many other people too), I can’t wait to try out his prize-winning entry. ps. Come on, Jay, take the G5! [Update: From what I …
After over a week using my new G5, I have come to a few conclusions: Office 2004 for Mac is better than Office XP for Windows.

The fight is on! The front page of the Straits Times, Singapore’s main broadsheet newspaper, features the latest challenger to the iPod – Creative’s Zen Touch. It also has a 20GB capacity, and looks suspiciously like the iPod (white, oblong body with blue screen), though Creative say they were doing digital players two years before …
Friends: don’t try calling my mobile number in the next couple of days. My phone company might have disconnected my line, because today I received a letter worded in red ink (how that improves visibility, I have no idea). The letter says I did not pay my June bill, citing a payment cut-off date which …
[overriding update: Good grief, things are happening faster than I can blog. Here are the real details on the new iPod, not just hearsay.] So the blogosphere is waking up to the news of the latest iPods (at least according to my feedreader, whose spidey-senses are tingling with the growing excitement). Some sources say there’s …
After trying numerous ways to get my HP Laserjet 1000 printer to work with Mac OS X, I hit upon a brilliant idea: Contact HP directly for it. (Duh.) However, while I was filling up the Asia Pacific support form, I had a sinking feeling that it wasn’t going to help. This is why:
Despite all my oohs, aahs and bahs over the past three days (has it been that long already?), the G5 PowerMac was purchased with one main purpose: To serve as the main component in my home music studio. Yesterday evening it embarked on its true life mission, when I installed the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 audio …
