What’s wrong with this picture?
LOL. Fortunately……. this was taken at least 6 months ago near Chow Kit.
On another thought. A blessing!

Programming Till The Cows Come Home
authored on Thursday, July 10th 2008Oh wow, it has been a while since I blogged. I was just rumbling through my todo list and see what I can scratch off…
“Modify and globalize addlink”
How interesting. You see, addlink is a program where you can add a link from your site to mine by adding mine to yours. That way your friends are mine as well mine yours.
The problem came about when I’ve to install this script onto each and every domain seperately. Plus, having to create database, user name and password, and numerous other things to get it all up and running.
2 years ago I had this script installed onto 5 of my sites. Things got hot! There’re people who actually found my page and started linking to me!
That totally excites me until I found gambling links, casino links, sex links… even rolex replicas!
So guess what? I’ve to login to each of the 5 sites, manually search and delete the links. Plus these buggers post multiple times! Esspecially the rolex idiot. 6 times!
Ahhhhhh, but it’s all different now. I came back with knowledge on PHP and MySql. What’s better, I learnt how to use classes!
It took me two days to modify the script (amidst yam cha and dota), and now it’s Super Addlink where you can post a link in any of my domain and I’ll know exactly what you post, when you post it, where you post it, if you are still linking back… all from just one interface!
Just one click on my cron job and fuhyoh! I’ll breeze through all the links making sure YOU are linking back or else….
Oh yea, and if someone puts a rel=’nofollow’ tag on my link. Good bye to them too.
Considering the power of it, two days is a small price to pay!
Next step is to make sure that the domain they want me to link to, must be indexed by Google.
If I can modify this product completely, I can call this my very own and $ell!
Wonder if there’s anyone interested in it. Hehe.
Things taken for granted
authored on Wednesday, February 20th 2008Life is soooo busy in the office, do this, do that, this can’t wait, do it now now now!
Almost like life and death if don’t do. But when streamyx putus, the whole office goes into an uproar. Everything postponed for the day. Is it still a life and death issue?
Hah, everyday we use the internet taking the connection to it for granted.
So the moral of the story is?
MAXIMIZE YOUR BANDWIDTH USAGE!
Coz one day, the line sure putus, that’s the time you should get your feet off the ground and take deeeeep freeeeesh breath of air!
Dang, I’m so lost today. I don’t have harddisk with me. Can’t code. Argh.
What an excuse for yam cha.
So yea, what do you do when u leave office early to come home to work when suddenly you realize that you leave your work at work while you are now home without work?
Since you leave work at work, then do work on your homework at home. Either way you still am working.
Wow, what am I ranting anyways…
“Pushhhhhhhhhhh!!! PPPPPPUUUUSSSSHHHHHH!!!!”
authored on Sunday, February 10th 2008AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave birth.
I was pregnant with an idea. After delaying for over 1 month, with one fell swoop, out came my new website.
Yea, need to feed it like crazy, but at last the long overdue project is out.
Let’s hope this turns out to be an asset from it’s liability state.
“Most people are one skill away from achieving success”. I’ll get that skill.
“Most people quit 3 feet from the gold”. I’ll never quit!
“Most websites are minutes away from turning their failed state into a success”. Hope mine is just around the bend.
Gambatte!
I Know What You Clicked Last Summer
authored on Saturday, January 26th 2008programming is so fun!
Simply by creating a new table, I can now track which link of the Sith or clicks on my website, how long it took him to click that link would tell me if he or she read my article.
This tracking software was created the by me and I am a little proud of it. That is because Google Analytics exists. no matter, as long as he does goes into my database, I can make it customized to what I want to see.
Imagine the placement of your links are so important if you get the right information on which most of your users click on, then you can track what is working and what is not. Should you color your links a different color? should you put your links a little higher?so on and so forth.
It is a little tedious, however like Robert Kyosaki said do more work to do less work. Oxymoron yet true 
Placing Your Faith in the Garbage Man
authored on Friday, November 2nd 2007Not many people give thoughts to the garbage man, much less being one themselves.
Everyday we throw garbage out, it seems like it’s the end of the garbage’s journey.
It becomes a routine.
And thus, everything seems okay fine lovey dovey peaceful and beautiful until one day….
You can’t login to your blog.
You can’t access your emails.
You don’t even know why you have phone calls made to Africa.
You find your bank account empty.
You don’t own your house anymore.
You lost your social identity.
You are now a nobody.
Do you feel a little panic? scared? petrified? faint?
How about horror? terrified? an inch away from death?
Maybe the above is too extreme, but it’s not unreal and believe it or not, all of it originates from your arrogance.
When you get your new email account, where do you write your password?
When you sign up for blogspot, where did you store your secured passcard?
hmmmm….
Soooooooo, when did it all start?
By throwing your password into the garbage bin “trusting” that the garbage will “dispose” of that “garbage” as in the perfect world should be. Oh, such faith you have in the garbage man.
Read the quotes in the sentence above and replace them with “spoon-feed”, “savage”, “treasure” and you’ll get the idea.
Now I’m thinking twice for my profession. If I only I own the dumpster…. anyways, the lesson is,
leave your username and password in the comment box below.
Thanks 
The Function That Broke The Programmer’s Back
authored on Thursday, October 25th 2007Have you ever tried to do something you so passionate about that you forgot about breakfast, lunch, dinner and sleep! Yea, worth the sacrifice right?
Put yourself in the shoes of a programmer, whose passion is to, program, and eats instant noodles for nutrition, coke for hydration. After a few months writing your heart out, you look out the window, you see a lovely couple walking by. In their hand they hold a travel magazine, see them get into a Limo… you wonder why did you start programming in the first place.
One saying says that if a million monkeys pound on a million keyboard, the universe would have a chance to be created.
Ok, back to topic.
Why did you program?
Passion? yea, right, like the monkeys.
Money? It doesn’t seem to be working yet.
Addicted to information? It ain’t getting you no where esspecially if you are not in the ‘in’ group.
So why did that coupling scenario you saw, the comparison between you and them, why the vast difference? Why can he/she make it and you still haven’t?
You can’t just give up what you started.
You ain’t where you wanna be but you aren’t where you used to be either.
So back to your chair you go and you try to write a program. A program that will change the world! A program with many many functions that will make the program a success.
After writing ‘endless’ functions, the fruits ain’t big. Why?!
Dang programming. Dang the functions. Dang 0101011101010101010101!!!
“There’s gotta be more to life” comes to your head.
You got out of your chair, grab your coat, ditched your laptop, went for a movie, played basketball, have a handful of life out there…
2 months later….
Cutting the story short, you are back on your chair programming. Feeling like a monkey (again). Bleh.
What went wrong?
Lack of persistence?
Lack of tools?
Did you stop “3 feet before you struck gold”? YES!
Not many can deny, it is when upon almost giving up is where success is. Ironically, that equates to asking you to fail (dig) faster. Though not blindly, but NEVER GIVE UP!
As long as one monkey is left pounding, something is bound to happen…
THE END.
P.S. You may be wondering what does all these monkey stuff have to do with the title “The Function That Broke the Programmer’s Back”.
Simply put, my back’s *broken* and out comes this ranting. X_X
OKOK, back to work.
CSS XSS RSS ASS?
authored on Saturday, September 1st 2007How did you spend your merdeka? Holidaying? Pak Tor-ing? I was ss-sing! In just 3 days I learnt every single of the 4 items listed on the title.
CSS – Cascading style sheet. Cool stuff. Imagine you want to change all your links color to green, just add in your external style sheet
a:link{
color:green;
}
piece of cake.
XSS – Last known was called Cross Site Scripting, but many people started to get confused between Cascading Style Sheet and Cross Site Scripting, so they named the latter as XSS. So what’s XSS? basically it’s preventing you from using javascript or any language for that matter to manipulate a page that doesn’t belong to you. For example, you can’t click a button and autofill my search box because… well, that’s XSS for you.
RSS - Really Simple Syndication. What’s so simple about it? I’ve been on the web for over two years now and I couldn’t really figure out how and what RSS is for until I had my own personal Merdeka these last 3 days. Creating your own RSS feeds means to compile all your information into a file say “rss.xml” with xml standard coding. It’s really simple because everything in the rss.xml has a head and a body.
<title>This is my first rss</title>
<description>Tomagogame? Never heard of him. </description>
<url>http://www.tomagogame.com</url>
so on and so forth. Go google “create my first rss feeds”.
ASS – Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……. I’m sure you and I know what this means. Nope, nothing related to a donkey. It’s a biological chemistry that happens when one consumes a lot. ASS is nothing more than an abbr of ASSimiliation. Digestion. Ingestion.
OKay, the last one was crap but hey, 3 of the 4 were useful stuff and learning how to implement them into my work gives me more added value and thus increase pay.
Comment quickly and you might get a free lunch from me
Work Taking It’s Toll
authored on Thursday, July 19th 2007Not! Hah, work is soooo fun!
Yea yea, this is my first job but programming has somehow become my passion. It was so much fun debugging. The satisfaction to see my script run in loops, make it allllllll worth it.
One of the greatest weakness in programming is that programmers don’t comment their work well enough. If you wrote the program, it definitely makes perfect sense. What about 2 months down the road? What about the next programmer that comes along? Pity.
Instead of saying what the foreach() loops through, put in big caps comments what the foreach() takes in and spits out!
Not many people would understand what I’m saying here, and not many people would read it too. So it’s find to vent my rant on the Net. It’s big enough place for everyone.
Was I From Korea Or China?
authored on Thursday, July 5th 2007Running my photos to myheritage.com twice has (embrassingly) confirmed that my ‘Adam’ is a comedian! At least a very good actor with great determination. I’ve heard of Stephen Chow’s history on how he became a celebrity from a side-kick.
Very stubborn and strong-willed but nevertheless, he succeed to become what he is today. Who would now count his failures? No one.
Would you look at that, I’ve got Namie Amuro as my sister! She’s soooooo pretty. How I love Adobe Photoshop.
An assumption of myheritage.com face recognition algorithym.
<?
$find-round-face = anything-that-is-a-circle();
echo search-for-the-eyes($find-round-face);
?>
Tada. Super programming. After some careful observation, all these celebrities have either thick eye-brow or have single eye-lid. Nice nose, nice teeth, smooth skin, dark hair… MUHAHAHAHAHAHA, self praising myself again.
Even Zhang Ziyi became an Asian beauty without double eye-lids!
I might do this face recognition program again when my curly hair becomes longer. Maybe I would look some Rock Star then.
