Am i the only one keep facing problem on using technorati site ?
first i want to delete my claim blog, which is still using my old domain , i keep trying but keep getting error, so i send a support ticket, there are no reply after 1 week, i send another support ticket, still there are no one reply.
So i try my luck tonight, woo hoo ! finally i can delete my claim blog, but there are no option for me to delete my account( because there are no way to change my user name ) and for sure i won’t want to wait for another 1 week for reply , so i try to register a new account.
this time i observe carefully what’s wrong with technorati, it seem like it keep log user out, thats why when you on some link, it assume you are not user and redirect you to the home page. Wah ! i even retry 5 time to just to claim my dev blog.
anyway finally i claimed my both blog and thinking to change my avatar , error page again and i m give up, this seem like not just happen today, but this really make me think, is technorati dieing soon ? it seem like seldom got people blog about it recently also.
let’s hope it won’t be the next one walk into deadpool.
17/09/2008 - this is interesting, i just saw mashable’s post Technorati: How the Mighty Have Fallen , is Technorati really not longer important ?

Currently i m using my logitech keyboard set to type and it is weird to use windows keyboard on mac, i normally use this keyboard for my gaming only, so what happen to my apple aluminum keyboard ? It have some problem, i send for repair and i can only get back 3~5 day later.
My keyboard is weird since last week, the “Y” key is die on Saturday, so any time that i need to type a “Y” , i just google and copy from the web, don’ be suprize i even complete porting some theme under this condition.
Since i m working some where in orchard , i decided to send my keyboard to ishop for service and understand from where most probably they will just 1 to 1 exchange.After i reach the shop, a friendly cashier told me how to progress it, i need to get a ticket at another front counter.
The ticket number i getting it say “Now serving 150 and my Ticket number is 153″ , but when i look at the service area, it seem like the 3 counter all without customer , i think maybe those staff are working on something , later one of the staff wave her hand to call me over, geez there is a number display devide but no one using it ? anyway the staff help me log a report and i been told need to wait for 3~5 biz day, i was like huh , how come like that ? the staff never reply or giving any comments , so i got no choice and just continue the process , the staff never check whats wrong with the keyboard also and just finish all the paper work.
I m not sure am i overreact but this is really an unpleasant experience.
- there are number calling device but not in use ? if i didn’t see the staff waving , i might just stand there and silly wait for my number
- i m not sure is this standard or not but from my view , keyboard this kind of device should be 1 to 1 exchange ? imagine if i don’t have keyboard , what i can use for this 3~5 biz day ?
- no checking , again i m not sure is this standard that they staff won’t check whats wrong with device ?
anyway windows keyboard on mac is really weird !

So what does atomkeep do ? if you playing a lot of social network and getting bored to edit profile one by one and wish all the profile is updated , atomkeep is for you.
Current it support a lot of hot social network site, include facebook, friendster and some of the hot web2.0 site like youtube, flickr are support as well. Just adding all these account and select importing the profile or sync the profile, it will start pick up the data and fill in the define field.
A good example my avatar is from facebook and by using this i can sync the same avatar accross other site , without upload one by one, imagine one day when you want to change your avatar , you can just do a mass update.
But service like this , i believe a lot of user still concern about privacy and security, which i think this should atomkeep’s main challenge

I think a lot of people had try the new browser by Google - Google Chrome , we can see there are a lot of post in the blogsphere talking abot this new browser, but what i going to share is something about the theme.
Other then some of the unique feature as a browser, another thing that Google Chrome getting a lot of attention is because the simple and clean theme and the theme effect has start to spread.
Geez , now i m thinking to port it over for habari.

If you happen to create/tweak/change a wordoress theme before , one of the major problem is you need to create different kind of post format combination, so that you can confirm yor theme doesn’t break under any post format. I have see before some of the theme looks extremely nice, but when you have a order list after a quote , the whole layout might just broke.
Wpcandy actually release a sample post collection in xml format which allow you to import through the wordpress build in import feature, these sample post collection consist of different format example like blockquotes, lists, and floating images, you can just test your theme with all these combination and make sure the theme working properly.
This is really a nice collection that helping developer/designer when working on the theme.

When i browse through my subscribe mac’s blog , happen to see this iphone configutation utility , i download it to test on my ipod touch.
Some of the thing that can set through this utility
- uninstall application
- check the console log

It seem to me there are still lots of rooms to be improve, worth to read it @ Apple’s iPhone Configuration Utility Dissapoints , sigh when will be my turn to get an iPhone ?

Hanging around at apple sg refurbished store is one of my habit, that is how i got my macbook pro and imac , yeah it’s from refurbished store too. So i just saw a good deal if you been aiming on macbook air
Yes the so call slimmest notebook which steve job take out from an envelope. The retail price is around S$3k and now in the refurbish store is only S$2248.
For sure this is a good deal, but bear in mind when the refurbished store price like this, i think the next gen macbook air might be coming soon. I wish i got the extra $$ to buy it , but i think currently i only can afford netbook, hmmmmm eeepc 1000 or 901 ?

Just came back from cinema and i m glad that Wall-E doesn’t dissapoint me.
At first i afraid it will be same like The Dark Knight , having a lot of nice review but when i watch it , i find it nothing special, but Wall-E really fully catching my attention , from starting until the end of show. This remind me of The Incredibles , Cars and Ratatouille , almost all the animation from Pixar is my favourite.
One of the thing i heard about it before watching this show is the first 30 min ( or longer ) of the show is without any dialog, some people might be get bored of it, but i think i m worry too much, although they never talk but the whole show is telling the story lively.
Forget about what the show trying to tell , which i think a lot of blog should be mention about this, i really want to give a big thumb up for this show 8.5 star out of 10, not only it trying to sending some message to people , it also draw out the relationship between 2 robot, as usual there will be happy good ending but i guess that should be the way ?

I join in the fun on blog day on 2005 before, after 3 year this event still live and kicking and i been miss it on 2006 and 2007, so let me recommend the 5 blog on 2008.
- You might heard about I love jack daniel before and after trademark issue , he is coming back as addedbytes , if you are a web developer, you can’t miss his blog, you can find lots of cheatsheet and web application tips there.
- I been thinking one day if possible i would like to become a freelancer , thats why freelanceswitch is one of my favourite blog, lots of freelance tips has been share in the blog , they recommend some useful tools for web use too.
- Not every blog complete with words, i like The Bitter Stickgirl because the way she blog was drawing some simple line and connnect it , you get what she mean even there are no words.
- I don’t know how to describe the mighty zeus’s blog - Cowboy Caleb , but it’s highly recommend ( sometime there are some nice NSFW post ! )
- I think i recommend a taiwan blog durng 2005, this year the taiwan blog that i recommend will be 四小折 , not sure what to call it in english, but i like the comics he draw.
so these are the 5 blog i recommend , combine with different variety, different style of blog.
