A string between the web and me

Posterous is a another type of blogging site. The idea is so simple, you might think, “Why haven’t I thought about it before?”
Posterous skip the sign up/setup process. You create your very own blog by writing an email to post@posterous.com. Posterous then creates a blog for you from your name, such as http://firstname.posterous.com. Very nice…
Check out mine at fatnote.posterous.com
There is no theme or template to choose from, but if the most important part of your blog is your post, then the default theme from Posterous does a wonderful job of emphasizing it.

This is probably the biggest news I have heard today. Adobe just come up with a way to make Flash website indexable by search engine.  full story at Adobe
I’m not sure how it will impact my job, but I’m sure that it will completely change my approach on creating a website.
I always dislike a website that uses Flash as a main element/engine for many reasons. Search engine can’t see it is one of the reasons. But now that curse is lifted. wow… I’m not sure what to do with this new information now.

Becoming visible is one thing, actually ranking highly is another. Google currently can find about 73 million Flash files on the Web. But until Adobe makes it easy for the average Webmaster or blogger to link deeply into those Flash files, they are not likely to appear at the top of many search results. - Techcrunch

I don’t deny that I’m a bit relieve that there are still reasons not to use Flash.

I’m overseeing 3 website jobs, 1 big event organizer project, and 1 personal web project right now, with virtually no help.

Why? because that’s my way of coping with things when I’m in a crazy situation. haha I must be crazy.

Oh btw, I’m broke….mwahahahahaha

OMG!
I bought a refurbished WD Mybook World edition for $65 on Ebay. It works as advertised, of course, but just as advertised is hardly enough. Working just as a dumb file server? No, sir.
I was sad, desperate, and sad again. BUT! I found mybookworld.wikidot.com, and l learned from it that I could install a bunch of software on my Mybook to make it work like a little beastly *nix box.
Sample of mouth watering software on my Mybook? MediaTomb and Transmission

I just can’t help but stop everything and write this blog. While I was searching for a Joomla replacement, I found this CushyCMS to be awesomely awesome.
Why? It’s just as simple as a CMS can be. No other simpler CMS than this one ever
As a designer, you can create a website using any tool you want, then define editable areas using ‘class=”cushycms’ tag to any page you want your client to access. Add your client account to CushyCMS. It’s done.

Worldwide Social Network Market Share - O’Reilly Radar
I’m not surprised to see that Hi5 is the most popular social network in Thailand. Even I who don’t care much about these things got convinced into creating my own profile on HI5. However, I still don’t understand its benefit. Why would I want to use it?
Anyway, the map itself is interesting enough. Thailand shares the same interest in HI5 with Mongolia, Tunisia, Portugal, Romania, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. hmmm

Once again, I delivered the job I was assigned to do. The job took 3-4 days from start to finish. It felt like 2 months to me. Why? Because I learned a lot more in those 4 days that could have taken me 2 months to learn. I went to bed at 6AM on the third and fourth days trying to figure out things I didn’t understand at the time.
With my luck, and help from good friends, I made it work on time. (Well, it was a day late actually.. )

What did I get from this experience? Other than the fact that you shouldn’t have accepted the job before you know exactly how to do it, and nothing good can come out of me pass 3AM? I should find more help!

Who would have thought anybody would want to create an open source OS base on the dreadful Windows 95?

ReactOS® is an advanced free open source operating system providing a ground-up implementation of a Microsoft Windows® XP compatible operating system. ReactOS aims to achieve complete binary compatibility with both applications and device drivers meant for NT and XP operating systems, by using a similar architecture and providing a complete and equivalent public interface.

It’s kinda interesting. I might try it some time on my old computer.
