Looking back, it’s kinda funny trend back then. You see, a homepage is something like the blog in the late 90s and early 2000s. It’s always changing and never really complete unless the owner give up on updating. So having a under construction icon on your homepage is like stating the obvious. But it was such a cool thing to do back then. Haha. Yes, I’m one of those who have homepage with under construction icon all over the place. Damn, I forgot my old homepage URL. I don’t even know if it still exist.

Anyway, I’m thinking of changing my blog theme over the weekend. If you visit my blog this few days, it will most likely look like a complete mess. I hope I can finish changing the theme by Monday. (must also buffer some time for resting and team fortress 2) Will talk more about the new theme when I’m done. In the meantime, just bear with me for a while.

But as someone pointed out, most people are following me on RSS feed (and not contributing to my page hits. Haha). So they most likely won’t notice the mess and the new theme. Oh well….

Let’s hope everything goes well.

As I was walking pass some tourists who were taking photos of the city skyline, I was tempted to walk over to them and inform them that the haze is from Indonesia and not pollutions in Singapore. It is sad to see our beautiful city covered by haze every year. Luckily for us, the rain before F1 period helped cleared the haze just in time for the race. But the haze is back.

Disappointed that Indonesia government didn’t do enough to prevent it from happening. And the Singapore government did offer our help to put out the fire in Sumatra but the Indonesia government rejected the offer. Sure. If you think you can put out all the fire yourself, by all means carry on. But if you can’t stop the fire, maybe you should accept the help. This is not the first year already. It’s been like this every single freaking year. Come on Indonesia! Do something about it.

The Meteorological Service Singapore have a website that shows the regional haze map. We are getting all the haze because of the hot spots in Sumatra and the wind direction.

Makes me feel like going back to iFly Singapore again….

You can place it on a table or hang it on the wall. Pretty simple and straight forward. It’s a great gadget for party.

The printer uses a new printing technology developed by Zink. A quick check at Zink website shows that a pack of 30 pieces 2″ x 3″ paper cost USD$ 12.99. It’s going to cost you a bomb if you have a big party with trigger happy guest.

If I’m not mistaken, the Instaprint.me printer isn’t for sale yet. But if you have a party coming, you can try contacting them.

One of the main changes to FIFA 12 is the addition of Impact Engine. Impact Engine is a physics engine built to create real-world physicality in every interaction on the pitch. You get better and more realistic outcome from every player collision in the game.

It is supposed to make the gameplay more realistic. But there’s some very funny bugs in the demo version.

Let’s hope they fix the bugs in the final release. Or we will see tons of funny collision on Youtube soon. Come to think of it, I don’t really mind. They are quite entertaining to watch. Haha.

Don’t ask me why I’m watching all these on YouTube. It was recommended to me by YouTube. I swear!

Happy Birthday Google! You are 13 years old already. If you are a human, you would be in Secondary One this year.

Here’s an interesting fact. Google was officially incorporated on 7 September 1998. They have been celebrating their birthday mostly on 7 September until 2005. In that year, Yahoo announced that their index was larger than Google’s. Because of that, Google push their birthday back to 27th September for the announcement of the record-breaking number of pages the search engine was sifting through. Ever since then, Google begin celebrating their birthday on 27th September instead of 7th September.

I still remember playing Lode Runner on those 8 bit TV console. It was fun to play. Glad that they are updating the game and porting it over to Android platform.

Lode Runner X will have the full journey mode and all the single player puzzles of the Xbox 360 console version, including all of the environments and special features. Using an in-house game engine called the PBX by Southend Interactive, Tozai Games is able to transfer the gameplay logic without rewriting anything. Rendering, controls, sound playback and menus needed to be adapted for the PBX Android interfaces to complete the port. Texture resolutions and the level of detail of models needed to be decreased slightly, as well as changing texture and sound compression.

Puss in Boots, coming this November.
