The Low Down on the T707

Booze Queen and I bought the Sony Ericsson T707 just now.  BQ got the pink one and I went for the blue one.  The phone’s ok so far… the OS being a little slower than my N82 (which is surprising ‘cos I thought the lag on N82’s symbian OS would be worse) but that’s not […]

Sony Ericsson T707 or W508?

Can’t decide if I should get either of the above phones.  I like them ‘cos they’re flip designs though specs wise, they’re considered a down a downgrade from my Nokia N82.  The T707 looks more stylish than the W508 but while the former has 3G capabilities, it doesn’t have full support for videos calls as […]

Noticed this new feature on the latest Windows Live Writer 2009 but didn’t test it till now.  When I select multiple photos and paste them into my blog post, Live Writer prompts whether I want to paste the photos directly, or automatically create an album in my Windows Live photos gallery and add a link […]

Malicious WordPress Themes

Remember how I used to complain about unauthorised links being added in my blogroll without my permission?  And how my site got hacked repeatedly despite my strong password?  The answer dawned on me after I saw that one of the sites where I downloaded some WP themes from, ‘www.greatwordpressthemes.com’, was inserted into my blogroll without […]

Speed Test

Really strange.  Download speeds are typically twice as fast as upload speeds… but for my office’s servers?  The upload speed is faster… weird weird weird.

I know this isn’t an entirely fair comparison given that the M500 is a much older model (well, it’s older by 1 to 2 years) but there are these little things about the X200 that are making me love it more and more.  Here’s why: It doesn’t heat up much.  Heating is a huge problem […]

Interesting article from the NY Times.

Hello, World

Well, this isn’t my first blog post but it certainly is my first “hello” from my office laptop.  Yeap.  After 2.5 years of lobbying by my boss, I finally got a laptop thanks to Loudhailer (helps when the co-CEO of the Singapore office is also the product head for trade credit and PRI.  Heh).  It’s […]

Postpet

Not sure how many people still remember but there used to be this really cute e-mail software called Postpet where you can get your virtual pet to deliver your e-mails for you.  If the recipient of your e-mail has the Postpet software too, he will actually see your pet arrive at this inbox (which looks […]

Meebone

Sigh.  Not sure what exactly is the matter but MSN doesn’t seem to be accepting web connections via the https port.  Managed to get on MSN via imo.im this morning… but after I accidentally disconnected from it, I couldn’t log back on the whole day.  https://meebo.com couldn’t work either… till now. Anyway, I wanted to […]
