Sunday Times have an interview with the famous (notorious?) Singapore blogger xiaxue. Yes, I don’t just read technology related blogs like Joi Ito, John Patrick or Dan Gillmor. I also read foul-mouthed 20 year old girl who constantly bitch about her life. Speaking of my blogrolls, another worthy of mention is Mr Brown (blogger turn […]

Some news from this little Island
I don’t normally blog news in Singapore because there isn’t a lot of exciting news (and also I seldom read local newspaper anymore). But there are interesting two news in Straits Times today. First of all, 24 bloggers will be blogging live from National Day Parade (9th Aug) on www.ndp.org.sg. While it is common for […]
Michael Powell’s blog
Got the news that Michael Powell, chairman of FCC started a blog on AlwaysOn (via Interesting-People) I am participating in Always On Network’s blog to hear from the tech community directly and try to get beyond the traditional inside the Beltway Washington world where lobbyists filter the techies. I am looking forward to an open, […]
Another idea for comment spam
Dave Winer have another interesting idea to deal with comment spams. Here’s a free idea I had the other day while cleaning up a spewage of comment spam. What if comments, by default, were deleted after 24 hours? What if the owner of the site had to check a box in order for a comment […]
Jonathan Schwartz’s Weblog
Jonathan Schwartz, the President and COO of Sun Microsystems, now has a weblog (via Kevin Werbach). Jonathan was one of the keynote speaker at Supernova and I am very impressed with his soft-spoken, but smart and thoughtful evangelism. I am going to enjoy reading his blog. ps: Oh yea, Tim Bray has a entry on […]
The average blogger may not be that 13 years old girl
Read more in this eMarketer article about who are the Bloggers (via Loic) “Exactly 61% of the blog readers that responded to the survey are over the age of 30, and 75% make more than $45,000 a year. In fact, nearly 30% of the respondents are between the ages of 31 and 40, and over […]
Migrated to Drupal
I finally migrated to Drupal 4 Blogger today. It is about time that I do this myself and eat my own dog food. Hopefully this would help to dig out the bugs but so far, so good! But I dont promise this to be perfect so please report any problem and bear with it for […]
MT to Drupal Migration Tool
I just hack up an alternate method to migrate from MT to drupal. Download mt2drupal.tar.gz. This is a perl script written as an MT-plugin, utilizing on MT libraries to export the data directly into Drupal database (limitation: only for MySQL for now). So unlike http://drupal.org/node/view/6141, you do not need to generate large intermediate php files […]
Drupal 4 Bloggers v0.7
Just release Drupal 4 Bloggers v0.7. This is a major release with lots of changes and bugfixes. One of the most difficult to use Drupal as a blog is customzing the look-and-feel. It is almost impossible to do without some php programming knowledge which is beyond most bloggers – you are pretty much struck with […]
Typekey – Another mistake
I just realized typekey is using captcha (via charles). Yep, I am equally surprised that SixApart would use captcha given how much attention (hint: zero) they pay to my scode plugin. Well, Ben put his bets on Jay’s blacklist which I believe is a mistake. And I think he made another mistake to think Typekey […]
