While I was in the middle of work this morning, my mobile phone rang. It was a lady who said she was calling from Macromedia. She noted that I had attended a seminar before and asked if I could update my contact details. Sure, I said. She asked if I was still with Fynch, the …

Thanks, folks, for your advice on configuring AirPort Express. I tried many things, eventually disabling DCHP. Another thing which may be of note was that I set up a new wireless network between the AirPort Express and my G5. I am not sure exactly what did it, but the combination of my random tinkerings enabled …
I bought an AirPort Express last evening. Hurrah. But after a brief moment of detection (its presence was initially picked up by my G5 which has an Airport card), it could not be located again. This happened after the AirPort Express rebooted, which is how the installation process was supposed to work. Up to this …
It was delicious too! Filled with curry potatoes in the middle. Mildly spicy sauces (negligible by my Peranakan standards, really).
You love Macs. You use one at home. It runs on OS X, which is a breeze to use and a sight to behold. But over at the office, everybody uses drab PCs. Staring at the screen eight hours a day makes you want to explode. You feel that your productivity and creativity is slowly …
Mixed happiness is watching the ever-so-hot Alan Smith score a spectacular goal… for Manchester United.

Worthy of mention are the screenplay of Love Actually (which I’ve just finished reading), and Lawrence Lessig’s latest book, Free Culture: How big media users technology and the law to lock down culture and control creativity. I …
On Friday I had the privilege of catching the opening night of the play, ‘For The Pleasure of Seeing Her Again‘, adapted from the (Canadian) French original and performed by our very own Ivan Heng and Neo Swee Lin. I was not disappointed. Literary buffs (or at least, former literature students) may experience some deja …
In the same fashion as Apple’s Switch ads (to the uninitiated, a series of testimonials from ex-PC/Windows users who’ve left the Blue Screen of Death behind), someone’s come up with a Switch ad for registered Republicans who want to vote for Kerry. Wired has a comprehensive article about this radical political movement. A sample quote …
Mac users may notice I’m no longer using Verdana as the default font on this site 😉 Hope it looks a little smoother now. The other thing is, this slight modification to my stylesheet has drawn to my attention the difference between how Safari and Mozilla Firefox (running on my Mac OS 10.3.5) renders text. …
