Power outage in office

29 June 2010 at 4:42 pm » Comments (0)

This arvo, there was a power outage in a few buildings, including my office. Big boss has decided to spend us lunch at a pub nearby since we were roaming around freely without anything to do.
I had myself a nice lamb rump and at the end of the lunch, the big boss said if the power [...]



Drupal ponder

28 June 2010 at 10:30 am » Comments (0)

I have been playing Drupal CMS for a couple days of late and with all the bells and whistles, I’m tempted to merge this blog and my portfolio into one single entity. Having said that, I have yet fully researched the full extend of features and compatibility that I’m seeking.
Will take some time before the [...]



WordPress 3.0 upgrade

After months of procrastinating, I took the liberty to upgrade WordPress to 3.0. Took an hour to backup my database and content with a lot of minor installation hiccups.



A rant post

Just wanna let it off for once. Let’s call this lady woman Fatass.
In the office we have a car stacker that holds two cars on each platform and we, at times share the same level. The car stacker is a little space constrained, therefore when two cars are parked side by side, we barely have [...]



Words of wisdom from a parent

9 June 2010 at 10:49 am » Comments (0)

Any advice from a parent is always worthwhile to listen to. I heed them all the time.
Over the weekend, my mum called. Usually, there is at least a hint of advice embedded in her usual 15 minutes plus conversations. This time it was short and pretty much random.
Mom: “Son, I just want to let you know this. [...]



Half Life cute cartoon

Still waiting for Episode 3 (if there is one…). But in the mean time I found someone that made use of the soundclips in the game itself and illustrated with simple hand drawn art. Very cute.

Observation: Work ethics

7 June 2010 at 10:29 am » Comments (0)

My big boss was on a business trip to UK a couple of weeks ago and returned last Friday. For the past two weeks, everyone would be clocking in to work after 9am or later and clock out before 4.30ish (or better still, they’ll be “working from home”).
And behold, today is Monday morning and everyone is at work by 8.30am! [...]

Foggy Morning Melbourne

A very foggy morning today. For a moment I thought I was teleported into the dreaded Silent Hill when I stepped out of my home.
Fog + Low visiblity + Morning rush hour = Trapped-driver-with-two-hands-free-to-take-a-photo

P.S. How I wish my office route was on the other side of the road.

Some time ago, Google posted a speed test demonstration of how fast their Chrome web browser was.
 
 
Opera didn’t want to miss this out. They have their own parody of Google’s speed test.



Super Mario crossover gameplay

A Super Mario gameplay with a crossover of some good old 8 bit console games characters. I enjoyed on the creator’s commentary more than the game itself.
