Great! A new Chinese entertainment channel coming to Singapore.  Have been waiting for Starhub CableTV to introduce this channel to Singapore for ages...welcome Asia Plus! 4:31:29 PM      comment []

After some fumbling around...(looks like I have been doing this with Radio a lot), I finally was able to get the google box back on my Radio home page again.  The only puzzling thing is that both these links: http://radio.weblogs.com/0106689/ http://radio.weblogs.com/0106689/index.html will give me difference versions of my home page. 4:24:17 PM      comment []

Pop-ups add new twist. Some pop-up advertisements will include a new feature that can direct someone to another Web site by a simple move of the cursor across the ad--no clicking necessary. [CNET News.com] Digusting practice of advertisers.  They call this new thing 'kick-through', where you only need to mouse over an ad-banner to be brought to the new site. 4:08:34 PM      comment []

Borrowed the book The Cathedral and the Bazaar from the local library.  I must say that I am some how inspired by the book to want to contribute to the open source community.  Interesting way of writing the book too, keeping it updated as readers feedback. I thought it was going to be a technical read, but it looks like there are more elements of sociology and some elements of psychology, with lots of Hacker folklore.  A good read. 4:03:56 PM      comment []
