Online calendars

Currently looking for a good online and PHP-based event calendars to use for a site I am planning. Here are some that I will keep in consideration:

Look ahead

With the coming of 2006 and the passing of the Chinese New Year (out goes the year of the chook!), it’s time to plan ahead!

Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those
things which are ahead.

Power for the needed

In the process of trying to get to the bottom of my intermittent “hanging” problems, happen to come across this useful link: Power Supply Wattage Calculator. This should allow you to have a ball-park figure of how big the Power Supply Unit needs to be if you are into building your own system.

Can't wait?

Last night, on my way home, what I observed as I was getting off the MRT (aka metro is other places) finally made me realize why many people like to say that life is tough in Singapore.

Linux: alternative OS

Recent problems with my PC running Windows XP – well, maybe not strictly an OS-related issue but also some hardware faults there as well – have once again driven me to ponder migrating to Linux once and for all. In fact, I had another error last night after a recent total reinstall due to harddisk failure: “rasapi32.dll is not a valid image…”

However, I am still reluctant to make the switch because of a heavy reliance of many, mostly open source, tools that work only on Windows, such as for video editing, disc burning, and audio compression, etc. Perhaps this is more of an deep-bred insecurity thing?? Well, I guess I will need to study The table of equivalents/replacements/analogs of Windows software in Linux. a bit more closely from now on, to see if it is possible to have the same sort of support? Yet another option is run a live CD distribution such as Knoppix or even Ubuntu.
