Fixed WordPress 3.2.1 Link Problem – I run a few blogs across the Internet and I have updated one of the blog (nickchan.net) to the latest version of WordPress 3.2.1. I was liking the new interface of the admin area until I encounter with a problem during I was writing a blog post. My blog post couldn’t aut0-save and every time I try to hyperlink a phrase, word or image, the whole page refreshes and I have no auto-save draft in my database. This really troubles and annoys me a lot until I found a good solution.

I was thinking of downgrading the WordPress but it seems many works to do. And then I found out that it’s actually one of the plugin which is causing the problem – Disqus Comment System. The solution is pretty simple, go to Disqus’ website, download the latest WordPress plugin and copy it to your ftp server and WordPress is working godlike now. So, the lesson is, have your plugin updated to the latest version all the time.

I Am Using Mac OS X Lion – Apple released the latest update for the operating system of the Macintosh, the Mac OS X Lion few days ago. I didn’t download and buy on the first day but I downloaded it on the 2nd day. The price of the upgrade is US$29.90 which I think is pretty reasonable and it’s just available online as Apple is promoting a green environment.

The sad thing was it took me about 10 hours to finish downloading the file as you know, living in Malaysia, I have an Internet download speed of 150-200kbps which is slow when compare to other country.

Mission Control interface.

I think it’s a good upgrade as the new system always bring new features. I was from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now I am on Lion. They main feature of the Lion is the gesture that you can use with the multi-touch trackpad and also the Mission Control interface which shows all your app.

They also make it more user friendly and iOS like with the application Launchpad. These are some of the feature that I am proudly showing off, more to play and more to try. If you are on Snow Leopard, it’s time to upgrade to Lion and you will not regret on spending US$29.90.

The best part of all, it allow you to install up to 5 Macs with just a single purchase. I shared this copy with my brother. =)

Now I read The Next Web almost everyday because it’s delivering interesting news on technology and the web. What do you read mostly?

This time of the year is really making my money go lesser because I have to renew all my domains and hosting as I started it in the middle of the year.

Shinjiru is my favourite web hosting in Malaysia because of it’s fast support and good uptime and I have been using it for many years already, hosting at about 10 sites. Last time I paid RM29o for 10 domains hosting and 100GB of storage, now they upgraded the plan to 30 domains hosting and 300GB of web storage and that’s super awesome.

So if you are to ask me which hosting to go, you can go for Shinjiru.

The launched date of Apple iPad 2 was already predicted recently and I went to my campus to have a hands-on on the iPad 2, feel how special and nice it is. It’s nice that there’s an Apple store in campus so I can went to feel the Mac all the time. =D

I didn’t come here in the morning to check out the launch because I was sleeping. It says that only 1 purchase for each person. Well, there’s no buying extra but when I check with the stock just now, it’s still available.

When hands-on on it, it look exactly the same with the original iPad but when get a hold on it, it feels sleeker, thinner and the Apple A5 CPU is definitely the most obvious changes. The transition of screen is really smooth.

Just try the camera and nothing much on the iPad 2. It’s indeed cool but the resolution for the still camera just sucks. 1280×720 for back and front faced is VGA resolution which is just a fun camera. If it’s 5 megapixel like the iPhone 4 then it’s a perfect device, too bad it’s not.

White is pretty!

Smart Cover is surprisingly holding strong onto the iPad, however it’s still not save in my opinion as a stronger pull will drag it apart.

If you are asking me if I want it or not, of course I want but then I have an iPad already, no point buying this unless there’s trade in program, is there any? I want iPad 2!

Oh my god, battery on Mac is dying soon I think. I accidentally click on the battery icon only then I found about this. Hopefully the battery still can stand back until I get a MacBook Pro, probably during fall. How’s your battery on your Mac is doing?

I have been using my Nokia N95 8GB for 3 years already and suddenly the vibration is not functioning, I thought it was the vibrating mechanism was dead but it’s still usable, so I did not bother about the phone. Then the screen started to look like disco with flashing screen, at first I was still OK with it because I still can read, it’s just flashing but yesterday, it went blank and I couldn’t see anything.

I thought it was the LCD problem but after checking at one of the repair shop at Plaza Low Yat today, it’s actually the flex ribbon cable that’s broken.

It’s actually quite serious and I don’t really understand why the flex ribbon can broken into half just like that. It’s like as if a scissors cut on it. Changing of the cable cost me RM60, I didn’t think of changing a new phone because it’s still a good phone to me, what do you think? =)

By the way, I like how the repair my phone on the spot, in front of me cause some shop will swap your original screen for a lousy one or even tell you that other hardware was spoilt and want you to change, beware of these kind of con-man.

Hello people, I just bought a new motherboard and that is the Asus P5G41C-M LX for Socket 775 with Intel latest G41 chipset. Previously I was using the Gigabyte G31 chipset motherboard but on a lovely day, one of the RAM slot went dead. I thought I was still doing OK with 2GB ram on a slot, but BSOD keep appearing in front of me and I’ve decided to quickly dismantle the PC and go get a motherboard ASAP.

The motherboard cost RM180 (57US$) and is currently one of the most valuable and good G41 chipset motherboard for Socket 775 processor.

The motherboard is a micro ATX board so it fits almost any chassis well. I have a huge chassis for it though.

The good thing about this motherboard that it support DDR3 RAM. However you can’t mix DDR3 with DDR2 and with DDR3 you can have RAM up to 8GB or 16GB. If you are heavy gamer, this might not be a good one to you as there is no SLI or CrossFire support. You still can use a super high-end graphic card with it.

I use this motherboard with Intel Core2Duo E8500 3.16Ghz processor, 3 SATA HDD (1TB, 250GB, 500GB), very old 6800GT 256MB Graphic Card, 400W PSU and 2x 2GB DDR2 800 RAM.

I bought a Buffalo Portable Hard Disk 500GB lately at Low Yat Plaza and the price is RM180.

It’s kinda fast but it’s FAT32 formatted so I reformat the HDD myself with two partition, one is NTFS and one is FAT32 so I can use it on both Mac and PC and also stream HD video on my home theater system. I recommend this portable hard disk.

What I saw recently in my hostel unit was the router-liked thingy, I don’t think it’s a router, maybe a wireless bridge, or wifi extender or I don’t know. There’s no power cable, just a ethernet cable connected into it.

To my exitement, I thought the Internet is here. But I couldn’t find any open network. Sucks. It just not broadcasting.

Lousy service by Taylor’s University Hostel Management but this thing seems cool. I am so geeky. There’s no button on it, just LED and some output for antenna
