Let’s Rock

New Apple iPods coming next Tuesday. Maybe it’ll be finally time for me to get that iPod Touch and duct tape a cheapo pay-as-you-go phone to get my own iPhone.

Google’s new web browser, based on the same rendering engine as Apple’s Safari. Kind of interesting, if only for the fact that I thought Google employed several Mozilla developers.

Updated: Flickr Photo Album (0.98.4)

Joe Tan — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:58:57 +0000

Just a quick update to fix a couple outstanding issues. This release should fix a bug that was causing photos to not insert into a blog post if the title contained a single apostrophe character.

Download the update here, or if your WordPress is configured for it, this update should automatically popup in your plugin’s auto-update notification.

For those interested, you can take a peek at the change log to see what was updated. And a reminder that if you come across any bugs or features you’d like added, please add them to the Google project’s issue tracker. Thanks!

Neat technique that can easily produce 3D textures from just two photographs, one with flash and one without.

Updated: Amazon S3 Plugin for WordPress (0.3.3)

An update I should’ve pushed out a couple months ago.. it was checked into SVN, but I forgot to deploy and push it out for release Anyways, this update basically adds support for the new WordPress gallery shortcode. Which means all your gallery images will now be hosted on Amazon S3’s speedy content delivery network.

Amazing and impressive technique which uses static photos to seamlessly enhance and alter videos.

What Do I Really Do

So… what do I do? I guess I mostly design web pages. And no I will not fix your computer.

Olympic Fail

Looks like something crashed in the Bird’s Nest stadium. The BSOD shows up just as the Olympian Li Ning was rounding the the top of the Bird’s Nest torch-lighting spectical.

Yup, Something Happened….

Here’s my version of the alleged events:

I sent a request to her on Facebook to change our relationship status, and fortunately, she accepted the change… woohoo! And well yeah, we also went to the sculpture garden before (see long winded version over there) and I guess I did awkwardly ask for her hand in marriage with said ring :)

Some photos from the day:

Flickr Photo Album (0.98.3)

Joe Tan — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 03:01:07 +0000

Just a quick (and very) minor update to the Flickr Photo Album plugin, to make it compliant with WordPress’ plugin directory. If you find the plugin helpful, please take a moment to rate the plugin (and hopefully give it 5 stars!).

Thanks for everyone’s feedback and suggestions so far. If you have more ideas or other things you’d like to see implemented, please submit them as an enhancement request. Thanks!
