Cherlynn’s website was hacked on Boxer’s Day. She messaged me while I was about to pack up and leave school for dinner with a friend, saying that she could not access her WordPress backend as usual. I went into overdrive and access to her cPanel directly. I did not have the site checked out until I [...]
I was reading Advice: What is the worst advice you’ve ever been given? and the answers. London Rook’s answer strikes me the most as it reminded me of a Chinese parable of one waiting by a tree for a rabbit to be struck by the tree after watching one foolishly did that. Chinar Radke‘s subsequent comment to that answer led me [...]
Usually, I can’t be bothered with who post up complaints on SingTel as they are usually the same types. It is only this particular morning when I noticed someone who used Samsung Singapore’s account to post on SingTel’s wall… It was deleted moments later, but posted under someone whose name is Peter Lim. A quick [...]
Facebook had released a separate mobile app for Facebook Chat a few months ago. Now, it has a Facebook Messenger for Windows. What this means? Death of Windows Live Messenger. I have less than 10 friends on it now. I can uninstall RockMelt. Don’t get me wrong. I love RockMelt. However, the main draw to [...]
Frankly, I would not care much as sometimes the materials I upload is indeed copyright infringement. But hey, that is to share! Anyway, those are in the minority. However, I have received one DMCA notice on Facebook: Hello, We have removed or disabled access to the following content that you have posted on Facebook because [...]
To go back to the days when Facebook is not the primary mode of communication? Admittedly, the website has invaded in most aspects of my life. I am constantly on Facebook via an array of devices. I receive notification alerts on my iPod Touch; I receive email notifications through my GMail account. I chat with [...]
Seriously? Even though the person behind the post may know English, at least reply back in the language that she has used. Oh, MCYS is having another hot potato on its plate now:
There are so many things to do, a long list of them in fact. All to be done by 2359 tonight, but as always, there are spanners thrown in the work. The latest spanner, and an incurably one to boot: Curiosity. For me, curiosity sure does kill the cat. I am supposedly on to be [...]
Those who are in my friend list on Facebook know that I am an avid sharer, sharing YouTube videos, interesting news, constant status updates, all just to distract them. Just kidding. Anyway, there is a new application in town! Not exactly an application, rather, a website: PostPost.com. This is the browser version of Flipboard. In [...]
Apparently, there are scammers/data miners who are exploiting features, or lack of it, on Facebook. For many years, as far back as when Facebook first started, countless of users have been asking or requesting for a similar feature to Friendster’s “Who viewed my profile”. Steadfastly, Facebook held their ground and refuse to allow such a [...]
On 29 Nov 2010, Spanish woman, Angeles Duran told the world (ok, the newspaper, online edition of daily El Mundo) that she now owns the Sun via a creative reading of the law. (Source: Woman now ‘owns’ the Sun) Now, this provides a necessary avenue for people to ligate against the unwanted effects of the [...]
The following is just a rehash of what I have posted on my Facebook wall. It simply highlights the danger of liking random pages. Consider this a public service announcement. There is a “Nikon camera giveaway” (note the quotation marks) on Facebook (http://guyinawindchair.com/nikon/). It is a scam. Do not like not it. If you have, [...]
