Christina Sng retired after a long and illustrious career as a web developer, information architect, site producer, and usability consultant. Retirement, however, is boring! Join her here on her continuing adventures on the web.
One of the faults with the N82 is that it is awfully hard to see the time when it is on screensaver or power-saving mode. Unlike the e61i and the 6280, it looks almost invisible.
Since I am already half-blind, the Large Clock Screensaver is a real lifesaver. It shows you the time, date, and even [...]
So here I am, waiting for my pasta to cook, and phone in hand, typing out a blog entry on my Nokia N82 while keeping an eye on Boy - where did that cat go!
For some reason, the connection speed is lots faster than the e61i and it is far easier to hold and type, [...]
The Twittering begins!
I’ve finally got Twitter on both my main blogs, this one and Strange Machines. Although there are tons of Twitter plugins for Wordpress blogs (and having installed 2 that don’t seem to work), I found it easiest to cut and paste the custom HTML and Javascript Twitter code myself.
Here’s how:
1. First ensure your [...]
When fixing your alignment from the left, don’t forget to specify an equal white space distance from the right too.
As you’ve probably noticed, I have added Twitter updates on the top right hand box there to humanise the blog a little. ->
The default setting in Stylesheet flushed it right against the margin which is [...]
So here I am on Day 7 of my free 10-day trial of Burning Crusade feeling rather bored and having done-it-all (see me as a fiery-haired Blood Elf with a hairband on the left).
The thrill died once I wandered into Ghostlands, which looks like another depressing and soulless (excuse the pun) Trisfal Glades, and began [...]
I confess it has been a long time since I have had to edit someone else’s code. Admittedly these days it is easier to build a site with customisable templates (themes, here on Wordpress) but it takes time to understand what another developer has written and immerse your vision into their code.
If it is straightforward [...]
When I first acquired my Lenovo v100, my 100GB went from 70GB free to 0.5GB free in a matter of weeks. This never happened on XP, 98SE, or any other system I had. Only with Vista.
Initially I thought the problem was just system restore. I’d managed to free 13GB by deleting all the old restore [...]
Thursday. Thursday is the day I bought this phone. At 3.30pm to be exact. The salesman was telling me that the black version had just come in and there were only 7 remaining. I said, yeah I know. Your colleague from the other branch I came from had reserved one for me.
Anyway, I couldn’t wait. [...]
Picasa rocks because it is an offline photo album, photo editor, and online photo sharing service. The usability is amazing.
The good:
There’s seamless integration from the time you download your pics from your SD card, fast and intuitive sorting into albums, one-touch (or two if you’re fussy) editing where it also saves your original in an [...]
