Tweeting

Twitter has been around for 2 years, So I could say I am already slow in this Internet era. But the good thing is that it has matured enough to give it a try... So on the left hand side of the blog you get to see some micro-updates on what I'm up to ... (like you will be interested like dat :P)

New Year New Look

Spent some time hunting around to re-decorate my blog and chose this new template called cutline from blogcrowd. Did minor changes here and there. And I also changed the header picture to a landscape of a rice field in Maesai I took 2 years ago :).

Hope you like the new look and happy holidays everyone!

Getting in touch.

Skype video call is one of the best way to communicate with my wife and girl. Technology really helps a lot in getting in touch with love ones. I just can't stand the thought of the old days when Internet is unavailable and people get to leave their family to work. I already find it damn hard to cope (even with phone calls and skype video conference). I really feel lucky and actually much contended that I was born in this era. Kudos to our forefathers who left China (and their family) and came to Singapore to work and settle. My current situation is nothing compared to their hardship they faced and their longing of returning to their home town.

I've been Simpsonized!

Found this interesting website that could Simpsonize your photo. Hehe.. tried it out and quite fun. Somre more its free. Not very accurate for the auto mode but you could refine it actually.

Firefox rules!!

Another good reason you should dump the free Internet Explorer and install Firefox. This little add on called Ad-Block Plus is way too cool. It blocks all sort of ads in the website by subscribing to a well maintained filter list. Easy to install (just a few clicks and restart the browser) and you get an ads free page. Great thing is that pages actually loads much faster now as all those unwanted ads are removed.

BTW, saw this feature already mentioned by Mr Brown too.... hehehe

Snap Preview!

I have added SNAP preview to both naapl.org and this blog. Its a very interesting and powerful script that actually previews the links on your website. I kind of like the eye candy but the main purpose is to help verify whether the link is dead or malicious in nature.

For those interested, just go here and sign up. Its free and there are instuctions on how to install them on your website. (Very easy for blogger accounts)
