Yahoo vs Google

I’ve been wondering which is better for quite sometime especially when news about how Yahoo! might collapse in the near future. So I did a comparison on the services offered by the two giants. Here’s the list that I came out with.

Hope I didn’t miss anything out and is useful to some people as it is to me. :)

CentOS 5 and LxAdmin Upgrade Terror!

I decided to upgrade my server from CentOS 4 to CentOs 5 last night. So I did a backup of everything under LxAdmin and went ahead with a fresh install of CentOS 5.

If you are wondering why I didn’t just upgrade via the installer, it is because I’ve read so many problems on so many forums that others have faced during their attempt. Anyway, since LxAdmin has the ability to restore all the sites and clients under admin, why don’t I just do a clean installation? :D

Well at least that’s what I thought…

Web Hosting Cheats! Beware!

If you had been looking for a web host that is cheap and comes with all sorts of features, please know that it is too good to be true! I am sure you would have seen many web hosting providers offering 300GB or even 500 GB disk space and UNLIMITED bandwidth, right? I shall not mention their names but these companies are actually cheating you in a “legal” manner. :D

Institute of Technical Education College?

Was daydreaming on the bus home a couple of days ago when the bus came to an abrupt stop. The bus came to a halt in front of the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College West in Clementi. I have no idea why… but as I was staring at the Institute/College, I started pondering on the Ministry of Education’s attempt to re-brand ITE. Now, it comes with a College suffix to it. Amusing. Now think about this ok?

Clementi ITE

Institute<-> College. The two words used together. Does it make sense to you? Doesn’t it mean that it is a College for the Institute?…

Flickr on AntBlogz. Sweet!

Tried the new plugin called the Slickr Gallery. It comes with a customizable widget too! Easily integrated it with my Flickr Account which uses my Yahoo! ID. Simply wonderful. Click on any of my pictures on the widget on my sidebar and it will pop up nicely, loading the picture in the center of the browser.

I could even show my Flickr albums here! Now I don’t have to worry about my space on Antblogz as I have additional 100MB space from Flickr. This will soon become my photo blog too. Time to buy myself a great still camera for my newly found “passion”. I know I know. This kinda “passion” won’t last. But I guess if I got a great camera while I have this burning passion, it won’t go to waste when I need to snap some pic. :D Well as for now, I’ll settle with my P1i’s cybershot camera. It’s not great, but it’s good enough!
