my first mobile blog

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

I'm checking out this blogging service by vox using my Palm Centro to post. I think it might be cool to blog directly from my teeny weeny mobile phone. Just need to remember to bring along my wireless keyboard otherwise it is really difficult to post using the onboard teeny weeny Palm Centro keyboard.

So here we go, my first experimental blog using my Palm Centro.

Cheers!

Off for a trip to Perth Australia

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

This was one trip that was almost naught. Malaysian Airlines in all its apparent cost cutting measure decided to cancel my returning flight. Since I managed to apply for 4 days leave, I now have to apply for a full week. But the problem was, boss was not very pleased about his staff taking a whole long week for vacation. (more…)

Using Fantastico De Luxe and Simple Scripts to install your software

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

One of the best thing about using BlueHost with the build in Fantastico De Luxe installs and Simple Scripts, it makes installation of any software like Joomla, WordPress, phpBB, etc a breeze. No need to read through various online instruction manuals, creating your own SQL database table and SQL user, just one click and with a few minor input and voila, your website is now up and ready to be used!

Streamyx is slow again

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

TM’s streamyx service is getting bad again these past week. Looks like more kvetching about their lousy broadband service. With WIMAX looming to be launched, I wonder how’s their internet service in comparison with all the pretenders out there vying to get a piece of the internet service provider market. (more…)

Dreamweaver web building software or content management system (CMS)?

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I’m never a fan of bloated web building software like Dreamweaver or Microsoft Frontpage. Sure they are very easy to use for designing a web page. Very much like using Microsoft Word or Powerpoint, just create a box here and there and add in your content, pictures and whatever you need to create your web page. Where simplicity began is also where your nightmare to do something more complicated began. (more…)

Phising website – MSN block delete checker – different look, same modus operandi

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Whoa, so they try to change their look to trick unsuspecting MSN instant messenger user into giving up their user id and password, no? The phising trick is still the same, enter your MSN login id and password and that’s it. You are hacked! (more…)

switching off the on-screen keyboard for Windows Vista

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

I inadvertently switched on the On-Screen Keyboard when I resumed the Windows Vista PC from its sleep / hibernation mode. Somehow the sleep / hibernation mode disabled my Dell Vostro 200 USB keyboard whenever I resumed from it (this makes another minus point for using sleep / hibernation mode). I had to switch on the On-Screen Keyboard to key in my password to access my PC. However after enabling it, every time I start up my PC, the On-Screen Keyboard would start up too. How irritating. There is no settings on the On-Screen Keyboard to switch it off. The only way to do it was from the Ease of Access Center. (more…)
