As anticipated, Newcastle have made a big swoop, by signing Michael Owen. Graeme Souness will be granted some reprieve, but now he has no excuse should the Magpies continue not to win or score any goals. Captain Alan Shearer will surely be relieved as Owen will be deemed a worthy replacement for the retiring striker. …

This is a work-related post. Does anyone know of any Singapore companies who can configure existing content management systems, so that news feeds (RSS and Atom) can also be published at the same time as web pages? Experience with Podcasting is a plus. Let me know soon. Thanks.
I finally purchased a licence for Transmit, possibly the best FTP software for Macintosh. I got tired of using their free 10-minute sessions for unlicenced users, especially seeing how I’m likely to help other friends upgrade their weblogs in the near future. I completed reading Lawrence Lessig’s first book, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace. …
This is my first post using Movable Type 3.2! Woo-hoo. Most obvious changes are further tweaks to the user interface, and nifty way of upgrading. All you need to do (after carefully uploading lots of files and folders in the right transfer modes, is log in and they’ll do the rest for you.
It seems that you aren’t supposed to rip legally-purchased CDs into digital format. When I first saw Chris’s original post containing replies from IPOS, I nearly posted my own ‘thesis’ on the issues involved. Then I saw the long list of comments over at Mr Brown’s and I knew this was an issue that hit …
Someone’s gone and produced educational materials about a very specialised type of mental affliction. Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting … What everyone should know about Blog Depression, courtesy of The Nonist (hurrah, I’ve found a cool website today). Bloggers out there, we know how you feel. We feel your pain.
Early this morning, my web hosting account was suspended because some idiot trackback-spammed me, maxing out the database server. I was even more annoyed because my other friends’ sites, also hosted on this account, were suspended. A quick note to the web hosts resolved this issue, although I am loathe for such a situation to …
Download higher-res pic here. This morning, while waiting in line at a zebra crossing, I couldn’t help but notice the truck right in front of my car. There is at least one plumber with a sense of humour in Singapore. If you look closely at the bottom left portion of the photo, you’ll notice his …
I watched Stacey Kent live in concert on Saturday! Initially I was a bit disappointed with the venue because 1) I’ve never liked Suntec City 2) it was in a hall where you’d normally have computer fairs. Didn’t feel intimate enough for a jazz band and singer. But that was soon forgotten because the sound …
I watched a Korean movie, My Brother, last night. It is well-written, and moving. The story is narrated by the younger brother of a cleft-lipped boy, who is the runt of the family and thus gets all the attention from his doting mother. The boys’ father left them because of his son’s disfigurement, and shortly …
