Change Template Again

Dewan Undangan Negeri Sarawak

OK, so I did once again.  And unfortunately for the previous template didn’t seems to stand too long due to uneasiness reading this blog.  So I guess from now onwards I’ll just keep everything simple.  So it’s pretty much back to basic now from me.  And I won’t be too lengthy in each post.  Unless of course there are a lot of things to say.

It’s all about quality, not about quantity.  But I did expect to have difficulty in reading on my previous templates as it’s not really in order and have been tough on my database.  But I think I shall be writing more often now as most of the migration part is almost done.  Just need to do final touch up before finalizing it.

I know I was suppose to do a blog post on installing Froyo onto my HTC but didn’t really had the time to go about doing that yet. Hehehe.  Anyway, most likely I’ll keep it simple with easy to use steps as the guide from xda forums are long and sometimes I don’t get the part correctly done.  Hence I was only able to successfully installed it 1 year after I found out about something like this.

I’ve also remove the blogs for other sites as well.  As they seem to be taking a lot of bandwidth from my site.  So at least you guys would be reading my post instead of others from now onwards.  But it was fun while it lasted.  And also I’m thinking of doing something else which is hopefully soon to be added on to my site.  Will see how it goes.

Ok, as promised I’ll keep it short this time and will update something else tomorrow.  You guys take care.

Back to Ubuntu 10.04

Ok, been quite for the past few days was because I went and reformatted my hard disk once again.  But this time, I installed not only Windows XP but also Ubuntu 10.04 as my secondary OS.  I’ve been a fan of linux ever since I was introduced to it few years ago during my Uni days, but due to some certain software that I really needed to do something, I ended up switching back to Windows.  Years after that I tried using Ubuntu 8.04, and boy was it a huge improvement when I use 5.04 that time.  But now the 10.04 is so easy to use, compared to the previous versions that I’ve tried.

Ubun-tosh

So today, basically today was reinstalling some of the softwares that I plan to use in this OS which I think is pretty neat.  Plus I’m running on a MacBook theme, which pretty much acts as if I’m using a macbook.  Since both Mac OS and Linux OS are using Unix as their platform.  So I think it’s ok.  In terms of driver wise, I’m pretty fascinated with it as all of my devices were detected, and able to use.  Especially the function keys, where in Windows I would need to install an additional driver for it.  So I think it’s all good.

So far, no complaints yet.  As it’s so much easier to install applications on this OS.  Unlike last time I remember I needed to download the package and then run some commands to have it installed.  I believe Ubuntu really came a long way to achieve what they have today.  So I guess it’s all good.  If you want to try out the software what you can actually do is that, you can download the whole software then burn it onto a disc and run everything on the disc.  It may run a bit slow, but it does the job quite well. Oh another thing I noticed what Ubuntu can actually do now is to mount my Windows drive onto it, so I can actually get files from there.

I guess if I want productivity then most likely I’ll be using Ubuntu more especially for the web design whereby my server is also running on linux.  So I think that’s good.  For leisure I guess I’ll revert back to XP. Anyway, need to get ready to close up soon as well.  Since tomorrow will be the day, and need to get something special for my little one.  You guys have a good weekend.

Working Hazard

For those who have been wondering when Digi Iphone4 will be out despite receiving an email from them stating it will be out this week. The official launching will be on the 24.09.2010. But you might want to read this article regarding their pricing. Digi Iphone4 Details. Maybe this time round, Maxis might win the hearts of many in terms of pricing. We shall see how it goes within the next 24-48 hours.

Ok,  I know I’ve not really been posting much as I am a bit tied up at the moment.  Due to the fact that next week I’ll be having a Q&A session in one of the collages here in Kuching.  So I’m busy setting up some website as an example on how to get started, as well as some guides on developing websites.  So basically that’s my project at hand at the moment.

For the past few days, I’ve been thinking a lot lately on how to improve on a lot of areas in my life.  Well for starters, I think I have a very way of managing time.  Even though I have a nice time table, task and all that.  Somehow I tend to procrastinate one way or another. Yup, that’s how bad I am.  And I know what my problem is, just that I’m not doing anything much about it.  So that’s pretty much about it.  A good example you can see from my blogging, even though I tried to make an effort to blog daily, but I tend to delay and ended up not blogging at all.  So hopefully you shall see some new updates soon as I’ve just completed updating the podcast page.  Plus I’ve already added a live chat room which will be used during the recording session.  We shall see how it goes later.

That’s pretty much about it for my work today working on this site.  As I tend to fine tune it a little just to make the site more complete.  Plus like I said, I’m currently trying to add another site for selling my used stuff which will be up within the next few days again.  Hopefully I will be able to get it done by this weekend.  Apart from that, the mooncake festival here at Carpenter Street will end tonight.  So will be visiting there after dinner, and pretty much get whatever we may find that may be interesting.

Anyway, will most likely end here for now.  As I want to make it a habit so that I’ll start going back to write more regularly.  Since my Canon A70 is up and running, I will most likely bring it around and start publishing news that you will not see being published in the main stream media.  Hahaha. So much for being a reporter, and most likely will try to find some videos that I used to make back when I first got my camera.  Yes, lots of fond memories of it. I’ll update you guys tomorrow once again.  Have a good one.

It’s Raining…..

Ok, don’t really know what I wanted to post about actually today. So I guess I’ll just post that today is Thursday and it’s currently raining here in Kuching. Lol. Anyway, despite being a rainy day. Today sales is better compared for the past few days. So it’s all good. Since tomorrow is Raya, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my muslim friends Selamat Hari Raya. And don’t let the weather dampen your spirit in this joyous occasion.

At the moment I’m still wondering on how should I manage this blog.  And been thinking of reviving my Canon A70 again.  Just to pretty much bring it out for jalan-jalan and take some picture of everything and anything.  Since it will pretty much be so called “news that will never be published” on real media.  Probably I should head into that area, take a picture of a rock. And probably go write a story about it or something. Hehehe.  We’ll see how it goes, as I still don’t really have the time to get rechargeable batteries yet for it.

I’ve been thinking of reviving my politics column, but decided not to go ahead with it for now as it gets depressing just by reading the news everyday.  Plus some more you really have to be careful on what you write else it will be considered seditious.  Ah well, so much for 1Malaysia as they pretty much try to find the smallest thing and make a big issue out of it.  Somehow rather, I find them really childish at times. I guess we’ve pretty much become a laughing stock throughout the whole world by now.  -_-”

So what else is new?  Oh I’ve been playing around with a macbook.  And came to a conclusion it wasn’t really as what I expected it to be.  Once you’ve been on linux, you find that mac os is pretty much similar.  Hahaha.  Anyway, most likely will chuck out the idea of getting one.. Hehehe.  And I’m still trying to find a pedicure in Kuching, that is willing to fix my problem.  Any suggestions?

It's now actually on the left side of the toe, not right.

I’m Finally Back

Yes, I’m finally back in this town called Kuching. Finally love the currency, as I was having a hard time converting all the time before I purchase something. Lol. But I found out that mixers in Jakarta seems to be cheaper compared here in Malaysia. Anyway, may consider getting it in the future. But we shall see how it goes.

Anyway, the trip was great minus the traffic jam. Even though we didn’t do much, but it still feel pretty tiring. Probably it’s due to the flights we took. I’ve still yet upload any pictures, as I haven’t transfer and edit them on my laptop. Will do it later. Will keep this one short for now. Will update more once I’ve uploaded the pictures later. You guys have a good week :)
