It’s just too useful that I need to make some buzzes about it :p
Take a look at the above screen shot (you may click to enlarge the image). Do you notice how different am I searching for my web history? Continue reading ‘Firefox 3 Enhances My Experience of Web History Searching’

Most of us are using Google Talk custom message, MSN display message, Yahoo Messenger status message, Facebook status message, Friendster shout-out and alike for 1 common purpose – telling friends what am I doing, and what my mood is. Not surprisingly, many people are frequently checking out their friends’ display messages to “keh po” (a better word is “concern”) around, and stay updated with the status of people around us. Many times, you can derive all sorts of interesting facts from a person’s status message.
Before I left for east coast peninsula makan trip on last Saturday (24th May), I thought it would be interesting to publish short message updates in my blog, so that my family and friends could stay almost up-to-date with my itinerary. To achieve this, I need to be accessible to Internet via 3G or GPRS on my phone. Ideally, in order not to be charged for a hand and a leg to enjoy mobile blogging, the interface for posting should be as light-weight as possible, and I should also limit my updates to be short and precise, just like SMS text message.
KC and Jack, being active users of Twitter, were trying to sell me Twitter ideas, convincing me to make use of the Twitter account which I’ve created more than 6 moths ago (that time Twitter doesn’t really look interesting to me :p).
So, I’ve decided to give Twitter a serious trial, due to its promising update-via-mobile-phone interface. My Twitter updates are viewable at http://twitter.com/tiensoon
Well, to the uninitiated ones, Twitter is a simple Web 2.0 app designed for us to tell the world “what am I doing?” By default, your Twitter updates are kept private and only viewable by users authorized to follow you. For example, I’ve approved Jack as one of my followers, and so he is authorized to view, spy, peek and keh-po at my Twitter updates.
However, if you don’t feel uneasy for your Twitter updates to be made public, you can alter the setting, and your Twitter updates can also be easily published on your blog, just like what I’m doing. Continue reading ‘What Am I Doing?’
My gf: “what you doin now?”
Me: “dating with Elena :D”
My gf: “
”
Well… I was telling the truth. Moral teachers taught us not to lie :p
Hehe… actually, Elena is the name of my phone haha. Yes, Elena is the codename for Sony Ericsson P1. I definitely agree that my phone is a she; my personal secretary.
You can check out the codename of your Sony Ericsson phone at Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog. So far, all Sony Ericsson codenames are female names. My gf’s W880 is codenamed Ai.
Yesterday (15th May), Google search appliances have finally made its official debut in Malaysia. The launch was organized by the sole distributor of GSA in Malaysia – Ingram Micro, at Sime Darby Convention Centre. I was there for this half-day event.
What this means is that, any organization in Malaysia which has always been saying “make it like Google la!” can now opt for a search engine which behaves like Google for his/her organization. At a price of course.
The yellow box shown above is Google Search Appliance, while the blue box is Google Mini. My friend Wai Pei says the yellow box looks like a piece of cheese! Continue reading ‘Google Search Appliances Launched in Malaysia’
If you’re running on Windows Vista now, have you installed Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)?
Manual download and installation of Windows Vista SP1 was released on 18th March, and available from Windows Update beginning from 15th March. If you’ve not manually downloaded this service pack, chances are, by now, you should have been prompted for automatic update of Vista SP1 from Windows Update.
I’ve updated to Vista SP1 on 19th March, a day after the release of manual download hehe. Itchy hand lo… I was kind of frustrated with some performance issues and bugs residing in Windows Vista, and thus very much anticipating for the availability of Vista SP1, hoping to see some notable issues resolved.
7GB Free Space to Begin
For Vista 32bit, SP1 requires minimum 7GB of free space in C drive to execute installation. However, no worry, SP1 is NOT going to eat up your 7GB hard drive space. Continue reading ‘Claim More Free Disk Space with Vista SP1′
I have a 30GB iPod as mobile “entertainer”, which I use for the following purposes:
However, just like any other iPod owner, I’m facing a kind-of-disappointing iPod “feature”, which only allow songs to be transfered into iPod, and not vice versa (transfer songs from iPod to PC). If given a choice, I don’t really want to keep 2 copies of the GBs of songs, especially in my office laptop; I would rather keep them all in iPod, and transfer any individual song out to PC if needed. But how?? Continue reading ‘How to Transfer Your Songs from iPod to PC’
