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.
I’ve been using Flock for a while now and I have to say it rocks better than any other, even Firefox 3.0, which I find a vast improvement over Firefox 2 but its drop-down address bar just annoys me too much and I can’t be bothered to change it now that I have Flock.
Its green [...]
1. Amazing Graphics
While World of Warcraft boasts a vivid landscape, let’s face it: the graphics are blocky and past the starter levels, most of the regions look depressing and dark (save for Stranglethorn Vale and Feralas - which is simply gloomy really).
Alliance got most of the pretty characters but when I started out, I played [...]
Today I decided to start playing WoW again. I last left my level 49 human rogue at Feralas and was keen to explore that place again. So I paid for a month via Paypal and waited… and waited… half an hour later I cancelled the subscription and began to look for my old Sacred Gold [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Currently I have installed 4 programs on my laptop which is on Windows Vista Business, with one program running for each of the 4 blogs I have (to test them and to ensure there’s some redundancy in case there’s a bug in one of them, plus I like testing new programs).
CONTROLS:
Expectation: Programs should back up [...]
With every move, invariably one thinks of (or rather remembers to) backing up one’s blog. I have been tardy in this respect but now I set my mind to backing up all the years of blogging to my rather trusty Lenovo v100 laptop.
Unfortunately, HTTrack, which I’d used successfully before, does not like Vista. It starts [...]
I have to confess. Shen convinced me to move. I’d been enjoying free hosting from Blogdrive and Atspace for many years now and have been happy with those services. But, Shen said, for better control and SEO it was better to have my own hosting and run my blog off my own domain.
The clincher, was [...]
