I’ll be attending the first Asian Corporate Blogging conference today. Guest stars: The author of Buzz Marketing with Blogs for Dummies, and the President of the Professional Bloggers Association (no, it isn’t Jason Kottke but Paul Chaney). Participants will get a free signed copy of the Dummies book, hurrah! I’m glad my organisation is open-minded …
Month: September 2005
A couple of programming-related incidents happened today, but it also boils down to the mentality of ‘just enough is enough, I’m not doing any extra for you’. It’s disturbing because it’s a mentality I still notice in Singapore, and we have a lot to learn from counterparts in the US.
It’s decent news, at least to me anyway. Liverpool drew with Man U, and Newcastle have finally won! On an away match! And the Shearer-Owen strike partnership seems to be finally taking shape. I’m happy for the Magpies. And I’m appalled that top-notch goalkeeper Casillas of Real Madrid is only getting 7,000 quid a week. …
To Mac users out there – have you ever had third-party USB devices causing your whole system to hang? I seem to be having lots of problem with my Sandisk 6-in-1 reader. I found similar problems posted in this discussion group. I can select a few files in my SD card (using Finder), and then …
Remember that old joke about the world going topsy-turvy? When the best golfer in the world was black (Tiger Woods). When the best rapper in the world was white (Eminem). When the best female tennis players in the world, were black (Williams sisters). Well, the football world is definitely upside down because the USA is …
Another geek post, because I am in a geek mood. What’s your favourite project management software? I used PhpCollab sporadically, creating different accounts for different clients while I was freelancing. However I didn’t really end up using most of their features. Then I tried out Basecamp, which is good for basics but somehow I felt …
Just a little update about Mint. I decided I was OK with the licence and purchased a copy for my site. (Textism’s Refer has been rendered 99.9% useless due to referrer spam which I’ve given up trying to block manually.) However, after setting up the database, username and configuring the appropriate file, then uploading all …
The local blogging community would have heard by now about the two Singaporean bloggers who were arrested under the Sedition Act. Read the news report. The two blogs mentioned in this Tomorrow.sg post, are no more. I suppose you could scour the Google caches if you really wanted. But if this was one of the …
When the planes crashed into the World Trade Center buildings, George Bush wasted precious minutes sitting pretty at an elementary school (watch the video). While New Orleans flooded, Bush again took his time to react, strumming his guitar, talking about medicare and celebrating John McCain’s 69th birthday (see the contrast in pictures). When he finally …
Apple launched this behind our backs. But I don’t mind being surprised. This is beautiful. (Goodbye, iPod mini.) And iTunes 5 should be promising. Let’s see how the folders in Playlists work out.
