[Update: Somehow this post has been linked on Macsurfer.com, hence the unusually large number of comments. I know I’ve offended some Mac lovers and I expected the Mac OS to be more intuitive than Windows in most things. Long-time Mac users are surprised that I would have expected anything more than a replacement of files …
Month: October 2004
The rumours were true. Apple has just launched the iPod Photo with a ‘razor sharp LCD display’. No doubt this new iPod interface looks rather pretty – more similar to the Mac OS X interface. But somehow I don’t think this model will sell as well as its predecessors. I don’t want to look at …
[Update 27/10/04. Just when things were going hunkydory … My screen turned dark and I received a warning message telling me to shut down or reboot my Mac. This hasn’t happened for a while, but this isn’t the sort of thing that should happen at all! Worse, I can’t seem to find a solution in …
Arsenal’s unbeaten run has been broken by arch-nemesis Manchester United. Can’t say I’m too pleased with that, although it had to come sooner or later, and quite frankly Arsenal weren’t playing up to par. I cannot imagine that their goalkeeper, Jens Lehmann, thinks he can actually replace Oliver Kahn in the German national team. He …
My review of the opening day of Ivan Heng’s Return of the Tai Tai.
For the next two weeks I will be a one-woman show, doing the work of three persons and acting on behalf of the whole team. Today I finished work 2 hours later than everyone else, and I hope it doesn’t get worse than this. Anyway, I do have a few things to say about current …
I decided to pop by Doonesbury.com for my fix of political cartoons, and came across this strip (14 Oct 2004) which mentioned an unimaginably long URL. Being curious, I decided to type it out. I typed wrongly, because I got an error message. But it wasn’t a normal error message as the newspaper seemed to …
My reading list hasn’t been updated since 27 October, 2003. That’s nearly a year, and it’s appalling. Even worse is my 100 things page. Well I made it to 100 finally, so there. But please … don’t ask me about my portfolio.
I’m making changes to this blog. A lot of broken links will occur. Please ignore the rest of the site for now. Thanks. I tried to move everything to dynamic publishing but it didn’t work. That htaccess file killed access to my entire site. I’m frustrated and I don’t have time, ability nor a strong …
No, this isn’t pop art. It’s my Olympus camera. After serving me well for nearly one and a half years it suddenly acted up. Purplish tints and blurred streaks make my pictures look like some haunted house (that’s my apartment ceiling BTW, and it’s supposed to be bright white). I don’t recall doing anything to …
