I've signed up for a twitter account just today and it took quite a while to configure the profile page because the internet is too slow. Managed to upload my photo though :) Still haven't gone around in exploring the data space.

Anyway, I found something interesting when I was Googling for twitter related info; the @Anywhere API. It provides a simple way for the blog/website readers to connect with other twitter users.


You can also easily create a "Follow me on twitter" badge like this:



Twitter @Anywhere Follow Buttons are smart in that they reflect whether the current user already follows the member. If the user is already following the user for a given Follow Button, the button's label will be updated with the text "You're following @username".

Another feature is a customizable tweetbox like this:


The examples are taken from the API

Perhaps I shall sign up and explore the Twitter world. Find new adventures. Hehehe.

This is the coolest book ever! And I want it.

Ooohh...I wished I've pre-ordered the iPad. Now I have to WAITTTT. :(

My 7-year-old wireless router have started to show signs of aging. The connection dropped suddenly just now. I can still see it on the network list but could no longer connect. I tried with my phone and it also didn't work. So, I restarted the router a couple of times but the phone still wasn't able to connect. I thought that I needed to buy a new router and wondered if the new routers are backward compatible with wireless-B. I know that's ancient technology but I still have a very old Mac iBook running. Anyway, I got an idea to change the SSID and the router is working again! Hehehe. No need to buy new router for the time being.

Now that I think about it, lately,  I had to restart the router as well as the modem about once a week on average when the internet connection dropped. The indicator lights on both the router and modem are blinking fine and no warning message in Windows. However, I just cannot load any website or connect to any IM. Am not too sure that it's the router and modem problem because I know my laptop has problems with wireless connections sometimes.

It's finally here! And it's got almost everything that I want. I don't use 3G here so it's not so important. A bit skeptical on how well qwerty works though. Kinda have to relearn typing with the thumb. Still, feel pretty glad that I decided not to buy a PDA phone last month. Oohhh...can't wait for it to come in Q4.

My iPod has been a wonderful companion especially on days which I have long commute. Most of the time, I don't know exactly what songs are in it. The other day I discovered Home by Michael Buble on my iPod. I think it's a simple and beautiful song . It kinda made me reflect on my personal experiences. Anyway, when I found a nice "new" song, I usually listen to it over and over again. So, the next day I was eager to listen to the song on my iPod again. But when I turned it on, it wouldn't play. It was blinking green and orange. I was worried that my iPod was sick and I thought maybe it's too cold. It still wouldn't play after I warm it up with my hands. Came home, looked it up on the net. Then connect it to iTunes and found that the playlist has disappeared! I had to reset the iPod and load all the songs again. It was such a relief when it worked after the reset. Maybe it's getting close to its shelf life. So, should I get a new iPod? If wanna buy one, I should buy it this year coz VAT is going from 16% up to 19% next year.
