YouTube on Apple TV →
Now more incentive to buy Apple TV. I am still not convinced but if Mac mini gets axed then it might be the only way to build an Apple media center.
Cooperative Linux →
Can’t wait to try this out to see if it is better than just using cygwin.
Alternatively, LINA is another similar solution.
Excellent PDF document on REST rails →
Is santa coming?
Fingers crossed WWDC will announce MBP update that includes santa rosa. I can’t wait for Leopard anymore.

– Unless you use ClearCase and you have a massive branching & merging process for every project. Jokes aside, it is a good article, go read it.

Disappointing monkey
I am disappointed at Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. It was much easier for me to start enjoy Rayman Raving Rabbids than the monkey. One major problem is that the instruction for controls of each mini game is too hard to understand. Also there are too many moments in the game that is boring yet you cannot skip them. The story mode is not too bad. Haven’t had a chance of going through ALL...
Voodoo~~~~ →
I was told about VoodooPad during my search for the next wiki. It looks good but I wanted something that’s on the net.
Everyday Scripting With Ruby →
Any serious developer should learn at least one scripting language. It doesn’t even have to be ruby.
tester: we need someone to support the testing over the weekend, making sure the job is running
manager: sure we will organise someone watching the job
me: uh... couldn't this be automated?
manager: that's a great idea (read: you've just volunteered yourself)
me: so what tasks are involved?
senior developer: just run some SQL regularly.
me: ..... that's it? you need someone to do monkey work like that!?!? sigh..
Good thing my internet isn’t running at crippled speed (since new cycle just started), given Apple just release a security update that patches 17 holes, which included ruby.
My firefox is lagging quite a bit and CPU usage spike quite high regularly :(
I wonder if it is due to having my wiki, gmail, google reader, campfire all open at the same time. Posting this entry doesn’t help either.
I am hooked on the speed of SoloWiki, OSS version of ServerSideWiki (after it is loaded). But I have been doing a bit of research for an alternative because I am a bit concerned that it hasn’t got updates since it was released. Unfortunately nothing really matches what I want out of my wikis.

It’s a pain reading my rss subscriptions when my internet connection is capped to dial-up speed :(
I would’ve upgraded my account, had my ISP allow changing speed in the middle of a payment cycle. Now I need to wait for another 2 months before I can change it.

and it’s going to be available on OS X :)
woohoo, just bought a new game for Wii, Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz.

Fingers crossed Santa Rosa will be available on macs when Leopard is shipped.
Without sqsh, SQuirrel SQL is a pretty good alternative, especially with its code completion.

OMG OMG new Macbooks
ahhh more merging hell after holiday
Gym membership is really fee for hiring storage space for the equipments. If I join a gym for a few years then I can probably buy everything that I use in a gym. But then I don’t really have space for it…
