Everyone must have been impressed when Apple launched Mac OS X Leopard, which features Time Machine, an automated backup system. The catch is, you’ll have to have an external drive to use Time Machine, and there are also people (like me) who can’t afford to get Leopard (yet).
Luckily, there’s Mozy.
Mozy offers free, secure, automated backups [...]
This is amazing; I’ve never heard jazz with lyrics like this. Look below: did you think those were lyrics?
It’s poetic, and when you listen to Kurt Elling sing it, you can’t help but wonder just how he sang it, and what inspired him to write it. Brilliant. And there are literary and jazz references inside [...]
I stumbled upon Ms Dina Zaman’s writings by accident.
I was actually Googling for “berpijak di bumi nyata” to see if that phrase would be a good basis for my next poem (it turned out to be quite cliched). In the process, I came across an interesting opinion on free condoms on Encik Roime’s blog, and [...]
Sekali lagi, nilai penulisan di Berita Harian (Singapura) membingungkan saya.
Baca: “Insan, haiwan dan syaitan dalam jiwa” oleh Rahmad Sakom (3 November 2007)
Penulis berhemat bahawa perbandingan antara haiwan dan perokok (”perokok serupa haiwan”) yang dicetuskan oleh Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat itu terlalu keras. Penjelasan Datuk Nik Aziz tentang perbandingan demikian adalah bahawa perokok “tidak menggunakan [...]
It is such a great deal, since other shops are selling for $25, $29 and even $35! Keyboard shield actually also covers the wrist area as well as the trackpad button. Handy dandy jap-n-easy. Also comes in black, sheer blue and pink.
Available from MacLink, Level 6, Sim Lim Square.
I wish I could say, quote “Mahal [...]
(Warning: Prose inspired by extreme software idolatry follows. Alternative title: “Apple: the only REAL typeface renderer on earth”.)
Ever since I tried the Safari beta for Windows, I never looked back. Why has the world been missing this for so long? Once one gets acquainted with Apple’s smooth typeface rendering, it becomes very intriguing why many [...]
(oooooh, did I just sound radical again? ahhhhh)
Knives Out has got to be one of my favourite songs by Radiohead. I just rediscovered when I got myself the Amnesiac album. Enjoy.
Superb stuff:
Last Exit is a program that allows you to listen to last.fm music streams. Lightweight and GNOME-based, it is a far superior alternative to the original last.fm player (KDE/Qt-based, buggy playback), rhythmbox (bloated app) and LastFMProxy (tedious and relatively difficult to configure). This is what Linux software is about: small apps that do specific [...]
Alangkah terkejutnya saya apabila menonton siaran Suria baru-baru ini. Peserta-peserta peringkat akhir Anugerah 2007 telah mendendangkan sebuah lagu dalam sebuah klip video. Saya tidak pasti akan judul lagunya.
Yang saya perhatikan, lima dari keenam-enam para peserta itu mempunyai rambut yang tidak hitam; rambut mereka keperangan.
Setahu saya, orang yang dipanggil Melayu itu, rambutnya hitam. Warna rambut orang [...]
Here are some movie soundtracks that will simply transform your mood and give you goosebumps as you listen to them. The effect is usually multiplied if you have watched the movies. So sit back on a nice chair, close your eyes, and absorb. Good speakers or headphones are mandatory.
