Thanks to Jasmin (@fancypiece), Twitter has made my workday less productive. No seriously, updates are fun, especially if you are one who can sit in a cafe for hours just to follow a saga (read: #awaresg). It’s like catching the blue bird flu.
On a flu-related note, H1N1 has made history. It’s officially a pandemic season. Gotta get more masks and wipes for the upcoming trip(s).
This post is made to test twittertools. Ignore at your convenience.
Warning: Long geek post ahead.
Since the much needed purchase1 of the Xperia a month ago, customisation becomes an interesting pastime.
It is my virgin experience with a WinMo phone. I must have spent 70% of my internet bandwidth on XDA and have a serious love-hate relationship with the developers. On one hand, you want to try everything. On the other, you don’t really understand all the steps and are mildly paranoid about conflicts, if any.
Anyway. My X1 is almost fully dressed (or rather, I am getting tired). In alpha order.
1. AvantGo2
2. Batti
3. Facebook panel3
4. FDCSoft Task Manager
5. HandyShopper
6. HTC HD Dialer
7. HTC HD Keyboard
8. HTC HD TouchFlo3D
9. HTC HD TouchFlo3D panel
10. KeePass
11. MSS Converter
12. MyMobiler
13. SPB BackUp
14. SPB MobileShell
15. XperiaTweak
What’s missing. If you have any recommendations, shout.
1. Twitter. TwitToday looks promising.
2. WordPress. I have installed the WPhone plugin but would much prefer for a WinMo app.
3. Expense management. I have tried so many.
4. Flash plugin for web browsing. For some reason, youtube works but regular websites don’t.
5. Bodyguardz for X1. Not an app but hey, it is equally important.
Yeap, no GPS software at all. I am pretty satisfied with Google Maps.

The phone took it first dive today. It was a very sad moment.
In lieu of physical attendance, a care package was sent today to stand in for my well wishes across the many oceans which-I-cannot-name-as-my-geography-sucks-and-I-don’t-want-to-google to the bride-to-be. It is a lousy feeling knowing that a roll of ribbon and hyperglitter wrapping paper are going to take my place.
John spoke about streamlined-friendship over the net. Does the same experience apply when offline relationships goes on the internet highway? When it happens, do people stay that way simply because “they can no longer make it” for the in-the-flesh events anymore?
I will go write in my journal now.
I don’t know what flock is, does or feed on. The info page contains really long sentences. I downloaded it anyway.
Flock was founded on the vision that the web browser can and should enable the richest user experience possible across information-gathering, sharing, communication, self-expression and interaction. Every individual has their own unique preference for favorite sites, utilities, media and friends. Flock’s philosophy is to deliver a more personal experience of the web, where its users are in control and more connected to what they value.
I’m obsessed with airline seating. Not that I enjoy arranging people. I enjoy selecting my seats via the online system. The thrill is to secure a seat with an empty one next to you.
For those who are secretly like me, have fun checking out the good, bad, and ugly ones. Only drawback of the site – does not tell you when you will find yourself sitting next to someone who, at 39,000ft, will decide that she absolutely has to make a phone call via her motorola razor. And when she fails to connect, she proceeds with text messaging.
Do you know the wing area is the strongest, hence making it safest to be at, but it is also where the fuel is stored? Irony rules.
Yea I will admit that for a good period of time, I totally enjoy the the game show. But that’s not what I am talking about.
On Mark’s article on 15 websites/services that he will pay for: Will you pay for the free online services that you have been leeching using and have since built up a high level of dependency on?
I will pay for webspace, for sure. And for a reasonable additional amount, I will topup for the popular tools e.g. WordPress. Dislike the idea of paying 39 merchants to maintain one site.
For someone who has kept her email address and mobile phone number intact for the past 10 years, I think I will be lazy enough to pay whoever that will keep my pain of transfers to a minimum. They may not be that important in my daily life but I do hate changes when it comes to communication.
I know I often reminisce about the days where layout designs are the spirit and fireworks for the online dwellers. I know I do that too much.
In good cheer, I am feeling it again. So inspired to not use the uninspiring templates; yet so lazy. Oh so lazy.
Or perhaps ‘cos am watching Jazz trying to catch up with the Lakers in a 2-point game!
