SUNDAY

Sunday is my favorite and also the most hated day of the week. Sunday = day to laze around, and Sunday also means that tomorrow is Monday T.T

I've added a few new gadgets to my blog. Love quotes, a bio-Biorhythm thingy and a bodybuilding daily tip gadget. My fav is the Sky.fm gadget, check out the trance and house channel, they rock !

I've also added a new gadget to my collection, Sony Ericson K800i. Not a new thingy, I got it at a very low price, 2nd hand stuff. I needed another phone, and the phone's not bad. 3G, Cybershot, yadda, yadda. Enough for my needs.

TIRED ! I practically slept the whole day today. Came home about 9am after DOTA session (marathon...) with Cyrix and Vince. Back to work now, plenty of hackings needed for my Food Station project. One important thing that's still pending is a gosu logo, :(.

Jas, u don't know how much I miss your skill here, xD

Tired day~

Another tired day had passed ... This is the 3rd week that I need to rush my proj, burning through the nite, and sleep in the morning ~

Still struggling with the CMS, I finally fixed the chinese locale. The website finally display chienese character correctly without crashing the database ...



Enough of work, I'm looking forward/can't wait/still deciding if I wanna go for this year's Recharge rave in Malacca .... To go .. not to go ... to go. ... not to go... xD (Can feel Rossie ready to throw hammer at me :p)



Resident Evil: Extinction - I wan see !!!!!!! Sei Wind watching with girl "friend", sei Iris watching with girl "friend" .. no leg ah .... Leong, Phil movie ? xD

Kelian de renyi .. date-less



For Starwars fan .. Someone actually build a rocket powered model X-Wing ...... For more info, click the pic ...

Enough for today, too tired to post anymore.
Adios ....

MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY or ... ?

I've done some maintainence on one of my website. Before I sleep, I decided to transfer some articles from my old blog here.

Just realized that the date format for editing post date and time is MM/DD/YY thou I specify DD/MM/YY in my settings. The old interface is a little more ugly, since it uses combo boxes for all the date fields but atleast its British-date-style-proof then. Well, I'm too lazy to backtrack what I've done wrong, so don't complain to me "Gmail doesn't exist then !" or something.

Btw, I've also added more stuffs to the right bar of my blog, and added this digg-it digger button.

Hmm, I also noticed that blogger added "labels" from gmail. Gotta try to use this, :p

I'll continue to beautify this ugly blog more as I have more time ^^.

P/S OMG, just found out that bawang is blogging xD. Will get u something nice for ur 21st B-Day, come back get from ur sis, :p

Open source software ? Arhhhhh

Open source is good, for one thing most of them are free. But even sponsored open sourced projects have problems sometimes. Is open source the excuse for "Hei, we make mistakes, so what, u're getting it for free? "

Well, I'm babbling this cause I'm in a really bad mood now. Why ? I'm developing a website, a portal actually. So I tried out this gosu CMS (Content Management System). It works great, got everything I wanted. But when I started developing the chinese version of the website, I started having problems. The chinese words are not coming out. Ok, being a modern software, I double check that it supports UTF-8, yep. Check the docs, supports chinese, yep. I traced this problem for nearly 3 days, and finally, I found a post about it. It advised me to check the database.

So what happened here ? Open sourced CMS means the database = MySQL normally, and MySQL supports UTF-8 ? So what's the problem ?

The problem is, some of the tables in the core modules are not using UTF-8. For some reason, they were default to Latin-Swedish. No offence to Swedish programmers here, and to the CMS team, you guys are great programmers, giving out free stuffs and so on. But mind you, the rest of the world don't fucking read/write swede !

Ok, I blew up what I wanted to say. Back to hacking. Overdue projects, late nite hackings, daily routine for a programmer.

UPGRADE FROM BOYFRIEND TO HUSBAND

Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend
5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow
down in the overall performance,
particularly in the flower, gifts and
jewellery applications that had
operated flawlessly under Boyfriend
5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed
many other valuable programs, such as
Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention
6.5, but installed undesirable
programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA
3.0 and World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer
runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply
crashes the system. I've tried running
Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but
to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate Housewife

Dear Desperate Housewife,

First keep in mind:
Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment
package, while Husband 1.0 is an
operating system.

Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT
YOU LOVED ME and download
Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.

If all works as designed, Husband 1.0
should then automatically run the
applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers
3.5.

But remember, overuse can cause
Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy
Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late
Night Teh Tarik 6.1.

Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program
that will create SnoringLoudly.wav
files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-
in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another
Boyfriend program. These are not
supported applications and will crash
Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great
program, but it does have a limited
memory and cannot learn new
applications quickly.

You might consider additional software
to improve memory and performance. I
personally recommend Hot Tasty Food
3.0 and Tongkat Ali 6.9.

Good Luck,
IT Support
