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.

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.
