The Storm Riders

I was positively surprised to find the movie The Storm Riders on youtube decently dubbed. It’s one of the best Kung Fu movies I’ve seen. Real Hong Kong style. Way better than the new Forbidden Kingdom. No dis on Jet Li or Jackie Change but their new movie which I have seen in the theater… Continue reading The Storm Riders

another reason why I love foobar2000

I’ve been using foobar2000 as my media player for quite some time. It’s lightweight, highly customizable and uses little resource. Today while I was listening to some soothing music, I remembered back then I had a CD player that had a sleep function where you can set a timer to have it automatically turn off… Continue reading another reason why I love foobar2000

Thanks to daynah. I now belong to two more these online social networking sites: pownce & twitter. Hey, you can watch a video on twitter even. pownce is prettier and better written and gives you more control but less popular than twitter. Talking about great tools for online stalking.

After much anticipation, it’s finally here!! I present you the completely rewritten New Millennium – New Millennium with web 2.0 🙂 It’s done in ajax with the help of jQuery.

jQuery and Tamper data rock

I’ve been working on a UI design at work and some of the build in components have border=”1″ on their generated table code. To achieve a consistent look, I always want border=”0″ on the table so I can control the table border with CSS. There is no way as far as I know you can… Continue reading jQuery and Tamper data rock

upgraded to wordpress 2.3

I’ve upgraded to wordpress 2.3 mainly to use their new sidebar widget feature. I thought it will be overly cool to not have to rewrite the sidebar.php for every theme. However, I’d like to have different sidebars for different views. Like the sidebar for my index page would look different than the sidebar for my… Continue reading upgraded to wordpress 2.3
