I received quite a number of comments from my previous post, and they're all requesting for invites to Google Wave.
While the number might vary between others, along with my Google Wave account I have 20 invites to give away. To be honest however, after few weeks, I have not invited anyone despite of all the requests I received!
I know I shouldn't be too selective in giving out invites, but I was trying to not give invites to people I don't really know (and these are the people asking me for invites). This is because to me, Google Wave is less useful (or less fun) when there's not much of my friends in there. My so-called 'friends' are however either already have an account, or are not tech-savvy enough to appreciate an invite (which I think would be a waste if they get any anyway).
But anyway, I guess it's time to start asking selected friends personally and see if they're interested, one after another. Till then, I'll not open the invitation to those requesting for it…
A friend of mine was probably pitying me and my old, el-cheapo Nokia 1650 handset, and decided to (forcefully) lend me his spare handset, a Nokia 3120c. That would probably make him less bad befriending me, especially when I take out my phone in the public while he's around
So, what can this phone do? Lets see…
Wah, it has built in camera! Great. Lemme snap a photo of my office-desk (if not work-desk)… Done, but wait; I have no cable to transfer the file to my laptop. Hmm, there must be a way… Ah, it also has bluetooth. Cool, I can just pair it with my laptop and have the file transfered. Here goes, behold!
The cameras were already on the table before I decided to take the photo, though it cleary shows what I do in the office is mostly checking emails and 'communicating' through Pidgin. Oh, my dearie Nokia 1650 is in the photo as well nice
Few days ago I blogged about a song that has been played in our local radio stations but the singer / band remained a mystery. It was until today that they reveal themselves at their website, Everyoneconnects.net.
The band was acutally our very own local band, Bunkface. I personally like their song, and so do the video clip. It reminds me of this lovely clip;
Facebook changed its layout recently and I have few friends complaining that they are not seing their friend's latest updates on their facebook's main page. This is because Facebook has introduced News Feed which will display whatever Facebook think is the most relevant for you instead of showing the latest updates.
Changing it to display the latest updates is just a matter of clicking one link, which I show in my other blog, TechRecipes.
I attended FOSS.my 2009 today, and managed to record this video during Richard Stallman's opening keynote;
I'm sorry about the quality of the video, because it was shot handheld using my Nikon D90 using fixed length lens (50mm) which cannot zoom in closer. I have few more videos and photos of him and the event in general, and I'm hoping to slowly upload them here.
Was attending foss.my earlier today, and one of the sessions I joined in was MySQL Multi Master Replication Tutorial moderated by Walter Heck. It was a very interesting session as it's a hands-on session where we get to form groups and each group is to configure a MySQL multi master replication from start to finish. What's more interesting is…
Microsoft has released it's Windows 7, and I am eligible for free upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium from my current Windows Vista Home Premium. What I needed to do was to go to Microsoft's website to check for appropriate link,, and as mine is a Dell laptop, I followed the link to Dell's Window 7 Upgrade site. After submitting the online form, I got the following email in my mailbox;
I honestly don't feel excited about this upgrade at all (even the writing style of this post feels bored to me) , and is actually counting days for Ubuntu's Karmic Koala to be released…
It's a song being made available at http://everyoneconnects.net/ . I like.
What makes the song different? Read about it here: http://twitter.com/every1connects
Through My Window
Don’t want much, I just want everything
Thought that I could, do almost anything
One step in front of the other
Thought that I could do it alone
In the blink of an eye, it's just another day
Telling me why, I'll find another way
Got this feeling, got me reeling
I can almost start believing
Now there's me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now
Through my window, I can see there's
More than you and more than me
Me and you
And we are not alone
Different view
We are together now
Through my window, I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real
I see a spark, it starts a fire
Is this the one worth waiting for?
Thought that I could do it without you
Can’t exist like this anymore
Now there's me and you
And we are not alone
You and me
We are together now
Through my window, I can see there's
More than you and more than me
Now there’s me and you, you and me
We are not alone and we are together
Through my window I can see
Our wildest dreams could be so real
