Boo Hoo for You!

1 kachings

This shows how far behind our mobile technology currently compared to Japanese mobile technology.

Hmm if we actually had the technology over here, I will:


  1. Use it as my universal house lock.
  2. Replace touch n' go cards with RFID equipped with the phone.
  3. Use it as my UTAR ID.
  4. Track my phone and capture the phone thieves.
  5. Read online manga during (boring) class.
  6. Scan bar codes without the shop assistant.
  7. I will be really thankful for the biometric security function. (no more remembering passwords!)

When I am in the mood on blogging, this error constantly appears (which blocks me from signing into my blogger account which access to google server) and it does not resolve even I refresh the page, the only solution is wait for 5-10 minutes to recover. *strange* It occurs only at my computer. I wonder why...........

I really fall in love with their music! Really soothing music! Mesmerized by their unique way of playing guitar. XD By the way, Depapepe is form by acoustic guitarist duo Miura Takuya 三浦 拓也 and Takuoka Yoshinari 徳岡 慶也. Fans of Honey & Clover will find their music familiar as it appears in season 2 of the anime. You can find out more information about them from here (Wikipedia) or here (Official Site in Japanese).You can listen some of their sample from Sony Music by clicking here.

Blogger Template

Comments
I thought I want to give it a try to change my blogger template besides the given template.I found one particularly interesting from Drogue Designs. I really like its unique and funky type of design, so I copied the code from them, launched blogger, signed into my account, clicked template, clicked edit HTML and PASTE! And hit the preview button. This is where my nightmares starts, dozen and dozen of coding error. I thought I have copied wrongly, try looking through the codes, the codes are fine. I tried reading the coding error message, looks familiar and then my light bulb burst, its AN XML CODE. *shocks*



The code given is in HTML format, not in XHTML. Plus it is using the strict format which doesn't allow any of the traditional HTML codes to be keyed in. I switched back to the original template, trying to copy the Cascading Style Sheets codes to the XHTML, partically success but I couldn't solve the error. After looking through blogger's help, I am still having the same error despite following its instruction to place Cascading Style Sheet. I finally given up after spending hours and hours editing the code. Then I found this interesting site from the result of googling. Too bad, it has only one interesting theme that I like, but I think it is too flowery as you can see it hanging around my blog entry. Here's the pictorial comparison between my old blogger theme and new theme:



Old Blogger Template

New Blogger Template


I am still not done with it yet, as some of my element (for example links) has gone missing.

Day 200 and Beyond

Comments
I know I was late for nearly two weeks, but nevertheless :

Its finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

さよなら Foundation~!




Phew~! Right after the finance exam (which I found it quite easy =P) I hopped on to JY's rusa and went to One Utama to have my dinner. Fast food dinner. Not loaded enough to celebrate in Shogun (諸軍) to dip myself into the delicious Japanese cuisine. I was once thought to go KL Hilton... Oh well, I was suppose to be in Section 14's Secret Recipe.
Unfortunately, someone has his last minute plan changed. :(




Oh well, I need to apologize to YH, J and GZ for not responding your comments. I have been offline recently and I have switched off the comment notification, so gmail won't tell me if there is a new comment posted in this blog.


laughing_tomato said...

Ootoro: haha... if I am not wrong, I slept too much when I was sick during the day, later facing difficulties to sleep during the night. Thanks a lot for your blessing. Both exams were a bliss to me.


James2spooky said...
