Url shorterner should differentiate L & i

There’s a horror story behind my all time favorite URL shortener. There is nothing shorter than 4 letter domain. The best i could think of for a .my domain is a.my would be nice (taken) i dont know who owns it, im guessing all the 1 letter .my are fully squatted. J.MP (JUMP) is my all time favorite url shortener now.

A little trick i learn from Liewcf.com is that for fast url shortening, all you have to do is to just add a j.mp/ in front of your url bar and you’re done. See screenshot:

iPhone 4 is not alone on reception issues.

Apple haters and Android fanboys (or any other fanboys for that matter) has been ranting about the reception issues with the iPhone 4 with the way we hold it. Steve says in his emails is that all phones have a sensitive area where a certain part of your hand is covering the antenna causing attenuation which results in drop signals. iPhone 4 is not alone at this matter, take a look at these phones below which are having the same results:

HSBB Unifi users! Sharing is caring!

Lets go back a little down in memory lane. Remember when we first got our Streamyx 384kbps (^^”) LOL, that was quite a while back and it’s like having and EDGE phone nowadays. That amazing feeling i had that really struck me was the fact that we evolve from dial-up to 24 hours always online broadband, where you need not have to worry about long dial-up time phone bills anymore. My first download and i recall clearly was downloading CSI through iMesh.

When Unifi first came out 1st phase at TTDI, i was excited as a little boy waiting for christmas. It wasn’t the same feeling i had when i first got my Streamyx, but the change in lifestyle use of internet was definitely drastic. Having 20mbit uplink changes everything. (Of course the 20mbit download speeds up most of the things too).

My iPhone4 is on the way!

I don’t know weather I should get the iPhone4 first or the iPad, iPad seems 3/4 baked to me, but the iPhone4 is solid. Oh well, i guess i have to decide weather to own it or re-sell it to others. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

There is actually no obvious need for me to get the iPhone4, however there is an obvious need for an iPad. An analogy by @alexwnl said that if you already have an old oven, you can still bake cakes and heat up your food, upgrading to a new oven with more bells and whistles is definitely better. However its not the same as buying a fridge (iPad) it’s a totally different usage and device ;)

Install Windows 7 with USB Thumb Drive

Apple said that they were the first to get rid of floppy drives, and they were the first to remove the DVD drive on their Macbook Air. If all laptops, notebooks, and netbooks are DVD drive less in the future, USB is the only interface of recovering or installing your operating system.

I own a Sony VAIO-P (VGN-P15G) and the only way to re-install my OS is by having a external DVD drive. There is a tool from Microsoft called Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool that allows you to make a USB thumbdrive to be bootable exactly as the Windows 7 RTM (Release to Manufacture) DVD. You would have to acquire a Windows 7 DVD, Any Windows 7 RTM DVD works. They’re all the same as of this day. The only difference is when you enter your original serial key for activation.

No need for WiiMote, Kinect is more flexible.

Codename “Natal Project” now has been called Kinect. To be honest, i kinda loose interest in the WiiMote already because of its simulating movement to represent action in the screen. Which is not entirely “Motion Capture” movement technology which is used in animating models in movies. Sony has done one that mimics the motion capture movements but there is no news of release date from them.

UPDATE: Just found out they are also releasing its controller in Fall 2010. Playstation Move. Watch the trailer below, courtesy of IGN.com.

Can I just import old posts and insert to wp_posts table?

Ok WordPress 3.0 is out and apparently its revolutionary, well always 1 version leap is always a revolution, so im starting to constantly blog about technology and what sort using this WordPress 3.0 platform. It helps me learn how to use, and customize for my future customers or friends who asks me questions. I am very pleased with the new default theme rather than the blue small colum default theme that LiewCF.com uses.

What im trying to figure out now is how do i import my old posts to this new wordpress, can i just add to the wp_posts table, and everything will just work it self out? If so that would be superb. I will try to digg up my old post later and see if i can import it here manually. Jia you me! :)
