Moving to WordPress 2.7

Running on WordPress 2.7-beta3 WordPress 2.7 is coming soon. I’ve been trying out the beta releases on my test site. Although much of the improvements are usability enhancements (things that I don’t generally find to be “highly important”), there are two particular things that I find really useful: paginated comments and threaded commenting. I couldn’t wait anymore, not even for the release candidate, so ZitSeng.com has been upgraded to the current latest available beta, WordPress 2.7 beta 3. You can…

Web Widget For Drivers

Ever since I signed up for broadband data on my mobile phone, I’ve been trying to make it easy for me to access information on the go. One of the things I’ve done is to write a simple widget to fetch little bits of information from different sources and mash it up into a tight little display area.

WordPress has been updated to version 2.6.5, which fixes one security vulnerability and three bugs. They’ve skipped the version 2.6.4 number because apparently a fake version 2.6.4 has been making its rounds on the Internet. It’s also about time to prepare for version 2.7. Although there are no new major features in 2.7, there will be quite some usability enhancements, some of which I’ve been looking forward to have.

Car Accident With NUS Bus

Some months ago, a bus collided into my car. I was fortunate that there was video footage to capture the entire accident, including the fact that the bus driver simply drove off. The matter is finally over, so I feel okay to share some details about the incident, and in particular why this is all so infuriating.

Macs As A Fashion Accessory

I was at the Coffee Bean branch in West Mall this evening. Looking around, I saw 5 notebooks on the tables. Nothing surprising, people do get some work done or just surf the web while they’re sipping their coffee. What was surprising, however, was that all 5 notebooks where MacBooks of some sort or other.
