Why Get Your Own Domain Name?
Why have your own domain name? For a multitude of reasons. 1. It looks more professional For whatever you do, it looks like you’re more of an authority. Now, this may or may not be true. But appearances are what matter in any market. If you’re running an online business, certainly your own domain provides [...]
Read MoreFlock Rocks
I’ve been using Flock for a while now and I have to say it rocks better than any other, even Firefox 3.0, which I find a vast improvement over Firefox 2 but its drop-down address bar just annoys me too much and I can’t be bothered to change it now that I have Flock. Its [...]
Read MoreMust-Have App for the Nokia N82
One of the faults with the N82 is that it is awfully hard to see the time when it is on screensaver or power-saving mode. Unlike the e61i and the 6280, it looks almost invisible. Since I am already half-blind, the Large Clock Screensaver is a real lifesaver. It shows you the time, date, and [...]
Read MoreMoblogging on the Nokia N82
So here I am, waiting for my pasta to cook, and phone in hand, typing out a blog entry on my Nokia N82 while keeping an eye on Boy – where did that cat go! For some reason, the connection speed is lots faster than the e61i and it is far easier to hold and [...]
Read MoreTwittering on WordPress
The Twittering begins! I’ve finally got Twitter on both my main blogs, this one and Strange Machines. Although there are tons of Twitter plugins for WordPress blogs (and having installed 2 that don’t seem to work), I found it easiest to cut and paste the custom HTML and Javascript Twitter code myself. Here’s how: 1. [...]
Read MoreAlign it Right in WordPress
When fixing your alignment from the left, don’t forget to specify an equal white space distance from the right too. As you’ve probably noticed, I have added Twitter updates on the top right hand box there to humanise the blog a little. -> The default setting in Stylesheet flushed it right against the margin which [...]
Read MoreFixing Alignment on WordPress
I confess it has been a long time since I have had to edit someone else’s code. Admittedly these days it is easier to build a site with customisable templates (themes, here on WordPress) but it takes time to understand what another developer has written and immerse your vision into their code. If it is [...]
Read MoreSoftware Review: Picasa
Picasa rocks because it is an offline photo album, photo editor, and online photo sharing service. The usability is amazing. The good: There’s seamless integration from the time you download your pics from your SD card, fast and intuitive sorting into albums, one-touch (or two if you’re fussy) editing where it also saves your original [...]

Create a new Blogger account with your preferred Gmail account and give it the same profile name as your original one. 2. Go to Settings -> Permissions. 3. Add [...]
Read MoreSoftware Review: 4 Offline Browsers
Currently I have installed 4 programs on my laptop which is on Windows Vista Business, with one program running for each of the 4 blogs I have (to test them and to ensure there’s some redundancy in case there’s a bug in one of them, plus I like testing new programs). CONTROLS: Expectation: Programs should [...]
