Street Performance Video #1

In European cities, there are alot of street performances and somehow I always like to donate a few coins to them. Emme however always say I am wasting money. Somehow, I just like to see pple perform and some coins is the only real appreciation that they will appreciate! At least these people actually “worked” rather than just begging and some of their skills/performances are really awesome!

FML Entry #3

Today, I went to the school canteen for lunch as usual and as I was queing, I saw that there was my favourite roasted ham. However, I remembered that for roasted ham they always give only 1 small piece which is totally not sufficient for me and so I made a mental note to take 2 bigger piece of hamburgers instead since I was exceptionally hungry that day. As I was approaching the canteen lady, I saw that she distributed 3 (THREE) pieces of roasted ham to the people ahead of me! I thought today is a special day and so naturally (and with some excitement) I asked for the roasted ham when it was my turn. However, the lady gave me only 1 piece AGAIN, saying that its the last and there was no more. I then asked politely if I could change to the hamburgers. Canteen lady replied “whats distributed cannot be taken back, house rules”. Special day indeed. FML.

Hannah Montana is not just for kids!

So I have been watching Hannah Montana these days and found it exceptionally funny. Its one of the best comedy series ever, the jokes and their expressions are just plain funny. My 2 best character is Lily (shes cute) and Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrico (bloody cool little kid)!!!!!

Anyhow, its not just about the jokes, the songs are pretty nice too. Try “Best of both world” “Nobody’s perfect” “Bigger than us”…

I need automation… (weekly tweets from 07sept09)

I must admit I blog v infrequent these days, I don’t have the energy to write anything even though I have something in mind to write. I think its because I am too focused and preoccupied with my work liao. Anyway, point is I twitter (or tumblr pics) more often since they are v easy (and more importantly short!) to do – just send sms or email can liao.

So thing is, wordpress becomes too empty/dull but then I want to keep it coz friends/family read it once in a while. I saw many people (Weekly Tweets : miyagi.sg ) did the weekly twitter digest thing and I thought its pretty much cool since then many small updates = 1 blogpost w/o doing extra work! Great idea, or so I thought…

I plough through google for automation and realized that automation is only for wordpress.org!!!! Absolutely no plugin for wordpress.com!!! I then tried to find weekly auto-backup of my own tweets to send to my email and so I could auto filter forward to wordpress email blogging system, again no joy. The closest I found is a DAILY digest from twitter to wordpress.com (loudtwitter) but thats just too much. The best I could do is twitterbackup and manually copy and paste to wordpress.com and even so its just plain txt w/o hyperlinks etc.

So this is it, I am not sure if I will do this long enuff… (unless someone show me the light to automation)

FML Entry #2

Today, I went to take a leak in the lab toliet but realized someone before me had taken a dump (read: splashy wetty type) and did not flush! Disgusted, I quickly exit the cubicle without doing anything. Little did i know that my European labmate was round the corner waiting for the same cubicle! He went in before I could say anything. I am a Chinese. FML.

Redundancy

Nobody likes being redundant but the fact is redundancy is everywhere and it’s important.

1) Bosses want some form of redundancy so that no one in the organization is indispensable.

2) We stock up and eat more food than we generally need.

3) Even nature has redundancy, we use 5% or less of total brain power and our genetic code -triplet codon- is redundant too!

Anyway, I think I digressed too much Liao. I just wanted to say my ex485 WHS is finally up and running Liao. All files are backed up and folder duplication is on! Auto backup of pc/mac, folder sync, and remote access (love hamachi, truly a VPN THAT JUST works). Hopefully hdd price can go low enuff for me to backup the backup server, haha. And if I have money left, I might get an amazon s3 account for offsite redundancy!

Embrace redundancy!!!!
