• Back to regular programming

  December 17, 2008 in Musings

  Back from the other side for a little over a month now, this blog returns to its usual semi-regular programming. I’m struggling a little on what to write about, but I do resolve to a be a little less whiney. I’ll try anyway. The reverse culture shock has pretty much worn off. A far cry [...]

• Customer Service

  July 8, 2008 in Musings

  My Singnet broadband contract was up and I was entitled to re-contract with some freebies thrown in. I did not think being away from Singapore would be a problem since I remember being able to re-contract online previously. So off I went to the Singnet recontract link, log in, select the broadband plan, etc, and [...]

• Sorry Nokia, try harder next time.

  April 30, 2008 in Technology

  I was initially really excited to read that Nokia has launched its music store in APAC. Wow, finally. Even though I haven’t used a Nokia phone in nearly 4 years, I was really pleased for the opportunity to buy music legally online. The S$2/track price tag was reasonable and I was ready to whip out [...]

• Flickr InfoWidget for Zooomr

  February 12, 2008 in Technology

  On a short holiday back home for the Lunar New Year, I decided to celebrate my temporary return to broadband by taking a stab at Zooomr‘s InfoTags / InfoWidgets (How big of a geek am I? I actually code for fun. Sigh.) So here it is, a Flickr InfoWidget that lets you link a Flickr [...]

• Out for Lunch – Be Back Later

  December 13, 2007 in Blog

  I’ve made the leap and taken the other fork in the path. I’ll be blogging from here until October 2008. See you there!

• Penang Foodtrip 2007

  October 11, 2007 in Food, Travel

  Together with my best travel/food buddy, I bit the bullet and took a 12-hour bus ride to Georgetown, Penang recently. We had only one objective: FOOD and true enough, we completely pigged ourselves out over the 3 days. We did a very little research other than downloading a map of central Georgetown. But thanks to [...]

• Zooomr Greasemonkey Scripts

  September 17, 2007 in Technology

  I wrote a few Greasemonkey scripts that fixes a couple of UI quirks on Zooomr for me. Click through the links for more details and screenshots. Zooomr Enhanced Thread Paging – adds another row of paging links at the start of a thread [script link] Zooomr Buddy Icon Reply – adds a reply link to [...]

• Nintendo DS Lite

  September 10, 2007 in Fun

  I’ve been spending some quality time (heh) with my friend’s Nintendo DS Lite (NDS) so here’s little a review even though I know I’m late to the game. The “release” of DS Lite in Singapore came rather late, compared to Japan and the US. And even then, the official distributor is only giving an utterly [...]

• Photowalk along the Railroad Tracks

  August 28, 2007 in Photography

  I snuck off for an hour before dinner on Saturday to give my new toy a spin. I took a brisk walk and made my way to the section of the railroad tracks near Rifle Range Road. A small lesson was learnt for the day: flip-flops don’t do well on track gravel. A legacy of [...]

• Photowalk at the Old Civic District

  August 16, 2007 in Photography

  An early appointment in the City Hall area brought me there last Saturday morning. I didn’t finish until past noon and went hunting for a simple lunch after that. I found a coffeeshop along Waterloo Street, a stone’s throw away from the Art Museum. After a satisfying lunch of chicken rice, I found to my [...]
