Rumors have been circulating around the net about Apple CEO Steve Jobs health problem. The community on Twitter is fast updating, Steve Jobs has just wrote a letter and posted on Apple site about his health issue.

It’s a hormone imbalance that causing him to lose weight.

May he get well soon. In the mean time, Happy Last Macworld. =)

Successfully updated my Wordpress to 2.7.

(The biggest difference is the new blogging interface, it’s totally new.)

I have onced update via Fantastico, 4 blogs went smoothly, 2 blogs went down with nothing on the site. I had to Google Cache everything, copy and paste to recover my blogs.

Then I tried updating by uploading new file too, it’s more safe than via Fantastico.

The easiest way is to update via Wordpress Automatic Upgrade Plugin that I am using for all my blogs now. Easy, fast, safe and backup your database.

It’s the beginning of a new year and there’s always a few tech events to follow up. 2 events that are happening in this week are the Macworld Conference and Expo and Consumer Electronic Show (widely known as CES 2009) are back with a lot of surprise I believe.

Talking about Macworld, this year will be the last year that Apple hosting this event and from then on, there will not be Macworld anymore. Another is Steve Jobs, Apple Computer’s won’t be delivering the keynote too. Rumor has been spread that this is related the health problem of Uncle Steve. Of course, there’s no official evidence and announcement shows that Steve is not well.

Anyway, geeks like me staying in the South East Asia will be staying up late to catch the live keynote of Macworld at 1am GMT+8 Malaysian Time, which will be happening at 9am PST there at San Francisco.

What I am expecting and hopefully to be announced are:

• new iPhone update (both software and hardware).
• new Mac Mini (powered by Nvidia chipset).
• new iMac (powered by Nvidia too like both the MacBook and Pros).
• Snow Leopard.
• a netbook by Apple.
• a media server or a new version of Apple TV.
• iLife 09 update and iWorks too.

It’s the last year and hopefully there’s some surprise for Apple fan like us.
