I have taken a few screenshots before on Mac OS X, however I can never remember the short-cut key. Everytimes I just have to look up on Google to find out exactly which key I should type. Therefore I think it will be a good idea to actually write it down somewhere so I won’t [...]

Events for this weekend: Prayer meeting for mission in China @ SMBC tonight. FOCUS long termer’s BBQ @ Suzuki’s place on Saturday. Unichurch Together on Sunday morning. And the garbage collected last two weeks…

iTunes 4.1 for Windows has just been released by Apple. Both Mac and Windows users now can access the iTunes Music Store and buy music on-line, if you are currently a resident of North America. It just felt weird when you go to Apple’s home page, and what was presented in front of you was [...]

Since my other blog site, Movable Style, started more than a month ago, I actually got some traffic from visitors searching the might Google for cascading style sheets for Movable Type. So I thought, instead of just letting it sitting at a corner of my main site, I’ll get a domain for it to make [...]

Last Sunday evening, Vivian reversed our Nissan Pulsar out of a drive way, and then crashed into the side of an incoming Mitsubishi. No one is physically hurt as the collision is in low speed. The rear bumper of the Nissan is severely damaged, even though it did not look that bad from outside. The [...]

After 6+ months of inactive, I’ve finally made some changes to my mtsend.py script that allows someone to post/edit blog entries on MovableType in the luxury of Un*x/DOS command line. In version 0.5, I have removed all the supports for MovableType 2.5 to keep the code clean, so please use version 0.4 if you are [...]

Due to the reduce of my credit card benefit from my previous post, I need to chance my access account (the everyday banking type) from unlimited ATM transactions per month to another one with 6 ATM/EFTPOS transactions per month to save on the monthly bank fees. I usually use 2 or 3 per month anyway, [...]

… when the top guy in Roman Catholic church is criticising the top guy in the reformed protestant Anglican church for not preaching the Bible. From Anglican Media Sydney, it reports that the Pope of the Catholic church is condemning Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury for undermine the integrity of Christ’s teaching, over the issue of [...]

I just checked the Yahoo Weather for Sydney, and for Thursday 9 October 2003, it was low 5 to high 13 celsius. No wonder I felt a bit of chill sitting in the lounge room, trying to type out the seminar for tomorrow… And it seems for the next few days it will have very [...]

The battery on my iBook has got some weird problem 2 days ago, and so far I still have not found a way to solve it. Well. The battery still works fine – it still gives me around 3-4 hours of usage with good brightness and airport turned on. The problem is actually on how [...]

Privilege of living in NSW – October Labour Day long weekend. However, I did not do much – I rested, thought, wrote, and prepared to come back to my regular life again. Before I have figured out what is happening, here I am on Tuesday morning at work, sorting out my regular life.

This time I am going to whinge about the banks. Who isn’t whinging about the banks these days anyway? Last Friday I received a notification letter from ANZ about the changes to the credit card fees. I have been an ANZ customer (both everyday access account and credit card) ever since I started working full-time, [...]

Do you know that I actually don’t eat sea food? Most of the time the reaction I received when people acknowledged this was that I have missed out so much. Well, that’s only if I do appreciate the taste in the first place but I can’t have it. It is not that I am allergic [...]

I had a week of absence on my weblogs, and so was Friday Five. This week is about cars. I will be 27 and half years old tomorrow, and I have already lost my appetite of things fast and furious… What vehicle do you drive?Currently I am driving a white 1.6L Nissan Pulsar N15. How [...]

Today I installed a new media player on my iBook – VideoLan Media Player for Mac OS X. It is a free software, and in fact it is GPL’ed. That’s a big plus on Mac OS X, which I found many nice small software are sharewares. One of the disappointment for me is that Mac [...]
