NOTICE: Site successfully moved! (Somewhat…)

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

There was a hiccup when I tried it today. The default Kubrick theme totally screwed up on me, not sure why. Yesterday it was fine; today, it went horribly wrong.
Mother Murphy’s Law. So what’s new?
Anyway, I had to change to this ugly ass theme I have right now, especially the nauseating optical illusion background image. [...]

NOTICE: Changing Site Address And Feed!

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

To my loyal fanbase of 2 people…
I will be moving my site to a new blog and feed address. Please be sure to update your bookmarks, feed readers, browsers and OS settings to the following.
Site:
http://thesingaporeangamer.com/blog
RSS:
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/TheSingaporeanGamerBlog
By the way, the feed hasn’t been created and site hasn’t been moved yet. So it’s just a placeholder for now. [...]

My Birthday Is Square Root Day

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

I turn 27 on March 3rd 2009.

Twenty seven years old. In Benjamin Button world, my hairline would have un-receded and I can probably walk without a cane now. I’m not much of a party-animal. So I celebrated my birthday by consuming 1 day of annual leave, in order to relax on the day of my [...]

PC In A Plug!

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

My geek-jiblets are getting goosebumps!
Marvell recently launched a really funky type of computer, one that is fully contained within the smallest form factor I have seen to date: a plug.

Plug it into a wall socket. Run a single CAT5e cable into it and a USB harddisk. A fully functioning Debian-based Linux server at your disposal.
It [...]

Even More Creative Uses For YouTube: Spot The Difference!

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

First, we have the innovative “Choose Your Own Adventure” style of movie story-telling, which I showcased before. Now, with a little ingenuity, you can create a simple “Spot The Difference” game with YouTube and its annoying annotations feature.
It will show you two pictures side-by-side with an error on the right image.

The right side image will [...]

Two Terabyte Drive From WD

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

That’s not a misprint by the way.
Western Digital has recently launched the world’s first 2 terabyte drive. Consisting of 4 500GB platters, this baby will make you cry the moment it crashes. However, given WD’s reputation as the most reliable drive maker, I doubt it. But if you did decide to bite the bullet on [...]

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

One of the more interesting questions that are in my ultra curious mind. Luckily, youtube comes to the rescue.

Fascinating!
