Updates and choice of evils

In Off Beaten Track

I have been neglecting this blog for quite a while, which I hope to rectify starting with this entry.

Well, what has been happening lately?

Firstly, I switched over to cable broadband after using ADSL broadband for the past five years. I just could not help feeling short-changed when the monthly subscription for 512Kbps ADSL (SG$37) was only SG$20 less than 6Mbps cable, so I went over to the dark side two months ago when my contract for ADSL was up for renewal and I have been pretty happy since then. Actually that was just before the rate for ADSL dropped (similar price but three times the current speed), but that is another story…

Think again…

When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts – thoughts that negate your highest idea about a thing – think again!

I want you to do this, literally.

If you think you are in a doldrum, in a pickle, and no good can come of this, think again. If you think the world is a bad place, filled with negative events, think again. If you think your life is falling apart, and it looks as if you’ll never get it back together again, think again. read more

Livecanlendar fix

Just “rediscovered” the WordPress plugin called Livecalendar. This is a drop-in replacement for WordPress’ in-built calendar. Livecalendar is a cool AJAX-ified plugin for :wp: and allows for calendar navigation without refreshing the entire page. Note that for the current version (v. 1.8.5) there is a small bug which prevents it from displaying the links correctly when you have installed WordPress in a subdirectory while your blog is placed in the root instead (i.e. when WordPress address and Blog address of the General Options are different). However here is a well-documented fix for it for those who may need it!

* I had actually used this plugin before but decided it was just too slow for me at the time, but everything seems OK for now.

Site revamp

Currently in the middle of a site revamp so things will get slightly messy around here. Hope to have things back in order by the end of this weekend.

NSFW?

Just a quick note about an unusal – for me, at any rate – acronyms.

Recently came across a few articles with the rather strange acronym NSFW?? I was quite stumped for a while – perhaps I have been left behind by the information highway… 🙂 Well, never fear, Wikipedia to the rescue! It turns out that NSFW = Not Safe For Work – not that I have been reading anything unsuitable for work. 😉
