Changes, Changes

Yeah, its been a while hasn't it? I've been putting in some little hacks into the blog to make your 'experience' better. Obviously, I had to sort out the comments disappearing issue. I want to post a huge big shout out to the guys at Disqus, Daniel and Jason, Thank you so much for fixing my template! erm...ok. I've also put in show/hide thing into the sidebar and I've to thank Annie from Blog U for showing me how to go about doing a fix like that.

Also, I've created a Label Cloud and I have phydeaux3 to thank for the very helpful instructions that eventually helped me do a nice Tag cloud. I must admit I kinda screwed up the RGB color codes while doing the cloud so I had to go back to fix it. Which is not bad since I'm not a Template-Code-Monkey. I've also listed my blog at the BlogMalaysia Blogger directory (easier for the Government to come a calling if I ever post anything seditious!) If you're Malaysian and have a blog, please get yer tushes over there and get yer blog listed there now! Also, I have made a few new acquitances in the BlogMalaysia Forum.

So, with work crushing me in all directions, hopefully I can get to write more often. Currently I'm playing around with Plurk. If you wanna get on it, click here to sign up.

Short update on Disqus & Template issues.

Tried it yesterday and checked to see if its working properly. Nope, didn't work out so I went back and choose the option to implement it as an overall thing. (instead of Disqus being implemented on the next new post) Started working fine. On another note, I noticed that this new layout doesn't seem to be highlighting links and generally looks kinda iffy. So I'm on the look out for a new layout design. Hopefully the next incarnation will turn out to be good. Stay tuned.

5 Months later...

Nothing has changed actually. I was having a chat with an old college buddy when he remarked "are you still blogging?" I was like..eh? I did ask him if he meant the grand failure that I had with my Tech blog (abandoned coz I can't do a Tech blog on my own!) He said "no, the rant blog" . The RANT blog? do I rant?! chis! (btw, I don't mind you calling it a rant blog Pat :P )

Which led me to think a bit. Shall I or shall I not continue? hmm.. then another person asked if I was still blogging. I had a call from my wife this morning asking me if I was still blogging and that I got to be careful not to write anything seditious or I'll be in jail and she'll be on TV with my daughter. Good point. Although I have never been political in any of the 106 blog posts I have written so far, I have been running my mouth quite a bit playing political analyst during the March Elections. Also, in them 106 posts I have been rather reserved in expressing my opinions about the things around me. But I digress.

I was in the midst of contemplating whether to post or not to post anymore in this blog seeing as I am now inundated with heavier loads to carry. Well, I've decided to return to blogging. In any case, its gonna drive me to start writing more often as I need the practice (yes, apparently I going to be writing a book soon. Surprised me as well). However, from this point on, the style may change, the topics may change (look out for some truly geeky IT stuff coming yer way!) The bottom line is, I gotta start again. Thanks to the 2-3 (kidding) people that have bothered to look at the blog from time to time. I'll try my best to keep y'all readin'

Laterz. Need to get to the photo shop across the road to make some enquiries.

PS. Do y'all like the new look? Did I miss anything out in the blog (apart from more blog posts of course)? Comments.

Facelift - Complete

Finally, after a lil' tinkering , I managed to get the darn thing working. Hope you enjoy the new look (and the pic in the profile!) leave me some feedback as to what you fellers think.
