Need a Windows XP key? Google can help!

Friday, May 4th, 2007

People are posting their Belarc Advisor reports to the web, these reports contain all of the users software keys - not only limited to Windows XP. I tried a few searches and voila! Found a lot of keys, including Adobe, Macromedia and some Games!

It is amazing how silly people can get, most of the time :D

Counterstrike Fans - Don’t create your school map or face suspension!

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

This idea seriously have popped in my mind back then during my varsity years. I thought of creating some CounterStrike maps that have our library foyer, some of the lecture rooms and buildings. I thought it would be cool to be able to shoot some people in the university compound without actually killing anyone.

Of course, being me, the idea only left to stale as an idea. One of my colleague, Adrian, actually created one map based on our club’s room (we called it the SPR, a.k.a Student Press Room) - and I guess this is the closest it could get.

A student from Sugar Land, Texas is facing a suspension charge for creating a Counterstrike map of his school. Although we can say that this might be an overreacting decision, but I find it kind of scary that quite a lot of people subconsciously would love to be able to shoot people around their home, office, school, college, etc even if it’s only in computer games!

“I Only Know MSN”

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

I was browsing some of the local forums, and then I saw this post by one of the members:

I Only Know MSN

(nick and avatar and certain details have been removed to protect identity)

I couldn’t decide to laugh, cry or otherwise. There tag “Keranamy.MY” on his nick, yet he didn’t even know about his country.

Sad? or deserved?

WP-Cache now Live

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

I have just installed another Wordpress plug-in called “WP-Cache“.

WP Cache

Basically what this plug-in does is to generate a static, HTML version of this blog on every first visit of the page. Then subsequent requests for the page will be loaded from this static HTML cache. This will reduce the load on the CPU and MySQL queries on the web server.

However, I am not sure whether this plug-in will cause errors. So if you face some strange looking page(s), please inform me :)

Torn is Torn :(

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

I’m quite a big fan of Natalie Imbruglia, ever since her album. Naturally, one of my favorite song is ‘Torn‘.

I’m also never a big fan of the Akademi Fantasia (AF). My attention was drawn to tonight’s show because I heard the song ‘Torn’ being performed by one of the students.

It completely reminds me on Siti Nurhaliza’s early attempt to sing in English.

It is Torn. Completely :(.

Watch the video after the jump. (more…)
