No WoW, No Life

Posted on December 2006 at about 10:51 PM by hwa

Blizzard gave back our tuesday in this week with their live maintenance (every tuesday Blizzard will maintain their WoW server and this could take up to 8 hours) but god took it away and “punish” (shouldn’t be call punish but i can’t think of any better word) us by not allowing us to play WoW for don’t know how long. 🙁

Because of the Taiwan earthquake, causing six out of seven undersea cable which link some of the Asia country to US damaged, hence making internet connection become extremely slow until it’s hard for me to post in my blog. 😡 I don’t know how long they will fix the cable but from what i heard, it will probably take three weeks time!! OMG there goes my holiday!!!! 😥

My WoW play time will expired by the end of this month, so i thought i can play WoW in this few days until the time expired then i start study for my final, but i guess i couldn’t do like this anymore, god want me to be good boy. 😥

Hope everything will be fix as soon as possible, at least before my holiday start, i don’t want to spend my holiday with slow internet!! 😥

International Internet Link Down

Posted on December 2006 at about 1:49 AM by hwa

Last night, around 2am i was playing WoW, then all the sudden my WoW ping reach until 2k, then shortly after that all my instant messenger got disconnected. At first i thought it was the live update by Blizzard that’s why it lagged a bit, but it’s not, it’s because the earthquake in Taiwan and caused the international link went down.

According to Reuters, the biggest quake was measured at the magnitude of 7.1 Richter scale, and because of this at least six undersea cables were effected and the international internet line is now congested, several country in Asia including China, South Korea and Malaysia will experience some delay while visit the internet.

The Beatles – Last Christmas

Posted on December 2006 at about 3:52 PM by hwa

Christmas is coming, and if you ask me which christmas song i like most then i will tell you it’s Last Christmas by The Beatles. Here is a nice little Flash MTV for this song, hope you all like it. 🙂

Artist: The Beatles
Title: Last Christmas

Wait
Oh yes, merry Christmas little girl
Hey!
Last year, you left me, little girl…

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice as shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise me

Last christmas,
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you”
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart (oh yeah)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh, now i’ve found a real love
You’ll never fool me again

Last Christmas (twice as shy)
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you still catch my eye)
This year
To save me from tears (do you recognize me?)
I’ll give it to someone special (no, it doesn’t surprise me)

Last Christmas (I wrapped it up and sent it)
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (saying “I love you” I meant it)
This year (what a fool i’ve been)
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (I know you’ll fool me again)

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart (oh yeah)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears (from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas (oh yeah)
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears (from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Merry Christmas to you all~!

Google AdSense And Image Placement Policy

Posted on December 2006 at about 1:08 AM by hwa

Few days ago i saw this from Weblog Tools Collection, it’s about the image placement for Google AdSense.

Some bloggers will use plugins that will place an image beside their AdSense advertisement in believe that it will increase the CTR (Click Through Rate), i’m not sure how true it is but one thing for sure is that it will draw your visitor’s attentions, and this make the advertisement looks nicer too, that’s what i like about it.

At first Google AdSense said that it’s alright as long as we place a line to separate the image from the advertisement, and the image should not included as the link for the advertisement, but still we don’t know whether or not this violate Google AdSense’s Terms and Conditions.

Until recently Google had make a clear statement regarding the image placement policy. From what i understand, Google don’t allow we put images that is looks like part of the advertisement, so even though we put a line separating the advertisements is still wrong.

Happy Dongzhi Festival 2006

Today is Dongzhi Festival (冬至), or Winter Solstice Festival for the English term, which mean midwinter festival and is celebrated by Chinese. During this time the Chinese will eat the cute little rice ball called Tangyuan (汤圆). It had been quite some time i didn’t eat Tangyuan already, kind of miss them though. 😛

My Own Content Management System

Posted on December 2006 at about 9:54 PM by hwa

Been rushing assignment for the pass few days, at least for a week, it was terrible. 🙁 During the time my daily schedule was totally messed up, other than sleep, eat and of course bath, i got no time to do other thing, not even shit!! 😆

Anyway my assignment is developing a simple CMS (Content Management System) by using PHP and MySQL as database, the program is simple though, nothing fancy there, the user can post entries from their admin panel and there is a comment system.

I think i will continue develop this piece of software, because before i found WordPress, i always wanted to create my very own CMS software, because back at that time CMS like Drupal, Mambo and many others are too advance and heavy for me, all i want is a CMS that is for blogging purpose, so i found WordPress. 🙂

However for now all i want to do is take a good rest, today i slept until 7pm OMG!! 😯 And i had stop touching WoW for like five days already. 😥

I wonder when there will be another meeting for local WordPress community… 🙁

Happy Birthday To Daddy

Posted on December 2006 at about 11:55 PM by hwa

Today is 16 December, which is my dad’s birthday, here i want to wish him a happy 51th birthday.

Sad to say that we missed out his 50th birthday dinner last year, for the reason all of us (his children :P) are still study and doesn’t have any income yet, because for Chinese community, we usually will have some sort of birthday dinner for the elders where we invite all the friends and relatives, and a big one every 50 years old, 70 or 80 years old i’m not very sure, and a super big one at 100th years old.

Sorry dad, i guess we have to push this tradition to another time, hopefully next year, and i’m looking forward to it! 😳
