Mobile Themes @WP

21 10 2009

Awesome news! Thank you WordPress! This is one of the main reasons why I’ve been such a big fan of WP. Jumped onto the WP wagon and never looked back at blogger ever since, unless of course, required for online assignments.

Tried accessing my own blog through my G1 and I absolutely loved it!

I saw this on Techcrunch and I am seriously hooked! If this comes to Singapore next year, I’m so gonna get it for sure! This will reward me for holding out on Hero!

That’s if, it comes to Singapore, especially since it’s tied to Verizon.

Maybe I can ship it in! Awesome!





Google Reader

I can spend hours and hours and hours on my Google Reader, and still not get bored by it all.

Help.

Gulps.

Small small world.

28 07 2009

Turns out, the wedding that BX attended on Saturday, was not only his jc classmate’s wedding, but my primary school classmate’s wedding.

How small can the world get? Like just that teeny weeny smaller. I’d probably see it more as our worlds have been overlapping, we just failed to see that because of how we met, and the circumstances in which we got together. And then as time goes by, more and more common events, and friends might pop out from somewhere, we just don’t expect them coming.

Can you imagine, had I been BX’s plus one (when he told me about it in March this year, I vaguely remember he told me around that timeframe), how would things have turned out? This is quite amusing actually. When he said that the girl was of my age, I did ask him the academic background of the girl, cuz I thought hey I might actually know this girl. Gut feel, as some might call it. However, when he told me that the girl went to VJC (his bad, not mine), I just put the thought aside and shrugged it away.

How funny was that, I logged onto FB this morning (I didn’t want to start work so early, you see) and I saw a ex-RCY mate post her batchmate’s wedding online. So I thought hey I probably know who was getting married, and BX’s classmate’s face was staring straight back at me when the picture loaded. How did I recognise his classmate – through BX’s FB album of the wedding (he did not have any pictures of the bride you see).

I am still pretty tickled by this astounding fact, actually. Hahaha.

I’m starting up a new blog (yes yet again, please don’t sigh) but that will be specifically for my students. Students don’t have access to this blog, they have access to this. You could pop by and interact with them (and me!), that’s if they leave comments on my blog. Lols. That blog will remain purely academic – for students and perhaps, school/staff only.





Feeling silly.

18 07 2009

I brought my Protege out yesterday to attempt to do work, only to realise that I didn’t have wireless at Raffles City – a little odd, considering I thought the Wireless@Sg coverage should definitely cover that.

I brought my Protege out today to JP Starbucks to try and do the same thing – only to realise I didn’t have wireless again. I started suspecting that Windows 7 might have tampered with my network drivers and adaptors – so I tried to disable and enable them again.

Then I had a nagging suspicion that something was really not quite right. Slowly, I looked over at my wireless switch on the side of the Protege.

The switch was on the off side. My wireless was not switched on. -.-

I feel like a silly idiot. :( :(

Sims 3: The Story of Alice and Kev

12 06 2009

Early this morning, when I’ve just barely stumbled out of bed, I stumbled upon this. 

The Story of Alice and Kev- Sims 3 Simulation

Have a read – it’s an ingenious way of playing Sims 3!





Survivor Maths?

9 05 2009
Right? Wrong?

Right? Wrong?

I was indulging in some Survivor early this morning, and wanted to talk about the heartfelt sincerity I saw during the rewards bidding challenge where almost everybody pooled their money together for Taj to win the bid of being able to see her husband on the Verizon phone.

However, this caught my eye more instead.

Looking at the equation in the screenshot above, is this mathematically correct without the parentheses?

Given our mathematical education since secondary school, when we see multiplication and division signs, we do them first.

Hence if I were to work it, based on what we have been taught, it should appear as this:

6 + 2 ÷ 4 X 3 ÷ 3 - 7 + 6 + 5 ÷ 31 X 1
= 6 + 0.5 X 3 ÷ 3 – 7 + 6 + (5/3) – 1
= 6 + 1.5 ÷ 3 – 7 + 6 + (5/3) – 1
= 6 + 0.5 – 7 + 6 + (5/3) – 1
= 6 1/6
1

So, which answer is correct?





#awaresg

3 05 2009

Top hash in Twitter world today, wow.

We’ve had a field day on Twitter where I got my pseudo live telecast on Twitterfall about #awaresg. The tweets are still coming in! Through Twitter, Pokupine got to hear about it through me because I was tweeting, and Derek thought I was at Suntec – when in actual fact I was struggling with my accounting lesson plans and watching Twitterfall at the same time.

As we all could see, Twitterfall got more of my attention. Plus I was texting Ling at the same time, she was there at Suntec!

It’s amazing to see how social media got involved. Joe Augustin was tweeting, so was Cruz Teng (YES 933 DJ) – I’m following him! Some of my classmates were tweeting all about it too, in fact one went down to the EGM towards the evening when the votes were being counted! I was following it on my Dream when I met the boyf for dinner and I was keeping him updated (though he can’t quite be bothered about it).

Apparently, teeshirts are made from quotes by the new (old?) Exco, the most famous being “Shut up and sit down”. If anyone is keen, here’s the link!

Alot of information can be gleaned from the tweets, so go skim through them – you’d be amazed at the amount of information and the past on-goings for the whole of this afternoon and evening.

#awaresg, wow.
