Sorry if you had problem accessing this site, I have been quite unlucky this week. The servers that I use keeps having hardware problems and even the sitemeter sever went down a few times. Hopefully everything is fix and there won’t be much more downtime.

Thanks to Jac, we now have a new QuGee Logo:
And also some changes to our QuGee frontpage, also new web buttons and badges:
If you want to put it on your site, this is the code:
<a href=”http://www.qugee.com/”><img title=”QuGee button” src=”http://www.qugee.com/images/qugee_button.gif” alt=”QuGee button” height=”15″ width=”80″ /></a>
Of course this is only one of the many ways to add the button. Lastly there are some very nice wallpapers which you can found on this page.

WordPress 2.1 has been released for quite a while now, but knowing that there could be many problems with plugins and I don’t want the website to be down for a long time, I have decided to leave it later. Finally got sometime this weekend, I have decided it’s time to upgread. Did the usual backups and search for new versions of all the plugins. Disable them all during the upgrade, overwrite the current wordpress with the new one, ran the upgrade script and everything was working except one or two plugins. Even WPG2, the wordpress-gallery2 plugin which I was worry of not working works without any further configuration.
Since I started upgrading the site, I tried out a few new plugins including the one on the stats page to show who’s online and another anti-spam image plugins. One feature which I really like about wordpress 2.1 is that in the edit page, it has two tabs for switching between Visual and Code rather than before where it pops up a window for editing the HTML code. I really appreciate and quite impressive with open source software!

Went to TRL today, it’s an interesting company with a very nice building, a very “refreshing” building with a lot of natural lighting and plants. The main building is surrounded by some motorway “tracks” for testing which looks like racing tracks from the satellite. Didn’t manage to take any photos, but got some screenshoots from google earth.

Today, sitemeter is down again and I went to check the code on my site using a firefox plugin and found that as well as the code that I expect to see, there is something extra:
<iframe width=”0″ height=”0″ frameborder=”0″ xsrc=”http://dg.specificclick.net/?u=http%3A//vinlai.com/blog/&r=” style=”display: none;”>
Wondering why is sitemeter sending info to dg.specificclick.net? Me too! Did a search on google and found this post on “SiteMeter and Spyware (Sort of)“, it was found that this piece of code will return a set of tracking cookies. So I cleared my cookies and reload this page again, didn’t find any suspecious cookies yet, only cookies from sitemeter themselves so will check at a later time or another computer to confirm.

It was Monday when I attended the talk by Ajahn Brahm at ULU, have a few exams this week but finally got some time today to upload some of the photos taken on the day. The talk was really good, it was targeted at student especially on how we should handle exams. Not getting stress is the key, and the way to do that is to let go. He told many interesting stories and life examples which were very meaningful. I won’t mentioned them here as I’m not very good at telling them, but I will included the three questions that he asked us:
- When is the most important time?
- Who is the most important person?
- What is the most important thing?
It would be nice to spend some time yourself finding your own answers. I will put up his answers here in a few days time, but if you want to find out now you can visit this link. Thanks to ULUBUDA for organising and inviting Ajahn Brahm’s visit to ULU, here are some of the photos taken on the night, click on them to view them all:
