Integrate and wrapping WordPress 2.8 functions with Gallery2 (with conditional CSS)

Following the upgrade of the site, I've successfully integrated gallery2 with wordpress 2.8, able to call wordpress functions within gallery itself and maintain your wordpress sidebar. This was not previously achievable with gallery1 considering that some wordpress and gallery share some variables which needs to be redefined to avoid conflict, with this new setup I am glad...

A new post on a new revised site design!

Heads up for the new clean design I've been working on over the past months. The site is running on WP 2.8 and I will be upgrading the photo gallery soon as well. Part of the update which took so much time was to update the various textual content around the site such as the about and...

There is not much of time left, or it is?

Well it really had been sometime since I've posted an entry here. Haha to the extent of some of my regular readers contacting me about my absence. Haha yes of course I am still around, my apologies. So what had been keeping me busy? well much, it's only 4 months before my school term starts in October....

Are you really open-minded?

This is a very interesting video on open/closed mindedness. So if you always go around telling people they are closed minded or telling people to be more open minded, you should watch this.

Guide for applying to UK universities via UCAS for polytechnic students – Part 1 (Personal details, choices and education)

After my successful application as an international student from Singapore via UCAS (guess many found their way here from a dated blog post), I've been receiving quite a number of questions about the application process, particular for non-mainstream poly students like myself. I have written a small guide condensed from the replies I've given out, going section...

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...

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.

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.
