Launch of Dell Swarm

Due to be launched on the 5th of May and the first of it's kind in the world, Dell Swarm by Intel and Dell is an online ordering portal targeted at students and value hunters alike. So it works like a mass order system we usually see taking "lobangs", only that this time, you are dealing the...

Site revamp progress, right on track

Well, progress on the site revamp is rather fruitful. It started with a rather tough fight to get div containers to go fluid on percent values for a 3 column layout, fixed width divs are more predictable over a range of browsers, so I am still contemplating whether to allow the fluid width option for content. Nevertheless...

Classifieds impersonations!

I've been receiving quite a few emails asking about my "Ad" on few popular online classifieds sites, such as 88db. Which left really really puzzled as I do not feature my freelance services anywhere else on the internet other than my portfolio pages on this website. So I went about a search on the net and found...

Followup of the hacking situation

Am updating all scripts on my servers as I type along in this blog post, there is quite much updating to go, I guess I just sneak an update here. After much investigation of the previous hacking attempt in my last blog post, it seems that the DoS problem narrows down to a vulnerability in the roundcube...

ShaunChng.com servers hacked

Sorry for the 1 hour downtime last night from 12:30am to about 1:30am (Singapore time). The site is up and functional now. I jumped when I got a downtime message from my servers, strange, the server can be reached and pinged, so not a hardware or network problem, but my website cannot be reached. A short search...

Site upgrade planned in next month

Always wanted to get a site revamp up since last year, but just do not have the time and commitment to do so. I guess I has been more busy creating and building websites for my clients that I think that I am starting to neglect this very site. Bummer. Furthermore, in the age of code compliance, web...

Singapore is a “fine” city, of course, aren’t you proud of it?

It's ain't no april fool's joke, but hey Singapore does have a reputation of a fine city. And what better way to see it through the eyes of a rather chatty taxi driver. Though I think the expats have not really seen much of Singapore to make any firm creditability from their remarks, I guess Singapore will still...

It’s the 25th of March and Shaun turns 25 today!

The 25th of march is always a cool day for me, haha, but this year it's much more special as this 25th is my 25th birthday, the magical 2 numbers and I am 25 years young! A year young, a year wiser as well! For me, it's a rest day today, work is non-existent today (bahahahawith). Gotta chill...

Networking site restraints and blogging compel-lance

It had been sometime since I last wrote an entry in here. I am starting to think that maybe Facebook or Twitter may be taking over the possible hassle of blogs. But I do not think we will see the death of the blog, particularly this one as well. You may see me more relatively active on...

US bailout funds from the hood!

Ok we all know that the US treasury is bailing-out and boosting the economy with various economical policies using the reserves. This is so in Singapore as well. I found this photo shopped animated gif image while surfing the internet and I can't stop laughing whenever I see it. It's like ol' snoops with the big daddy's...

Photo Booth Prank at Universal Studios

Ahh, good ol' Universal studios, and with a photo booth prank to boot as well. This one really made me laugh quite a bit, courtesy with footage on the tube from CNBC. I just wonder how cooperative people will get if we have this in Singapore, or will they simply just go off marching to the complains...

The quid for the byte, internet is expensive in UK. Recommend me a UK mobile operator!

Internet ain't that covered nor cheap in Europe, I guess originating from one of the most connected nations in the world (currently 99.9% penetration in Singapore right?) I am quite spoilt for free campus internet, let be even free wi-fi on the Singapore streets and cafe. We had grown so synonymous with the word unlimited in Singapore that...

The fortnight dailies, a dated update!

Much had happened recently, well not only here but around the world, little bits here and there which I punched into as saved drafts into my blog but never had the justification to publish it into a dedicated blog post, so I will just lump it all up into one collective blog post. I think it's about...

2009 year of the Ox Chinese New Year Greetings

Chinese new year comes earlier this year than the last. It's good bye to the year of the rat and welcome the 2nd animal on the Chinese Zodiac, the hardworking Ox. Lets hope the bovine power will bring a bullish year ahead for many. Nevertheless, despite the downturn, CNY is still a period of festive joy, performances,...

An un-conditional offer from Cambridge University!

There was something rather interesting in the mail today. A nice thick white plain envelope addressed from the University of Cambridge identified via a faint stamp on the corner, nothing fancy, but an avenue of anxiety- The time is right at it is this period of the year where admission results are announced, this will definitely be...
