$200

So today, I spent 200$... on a keyboard and mouse.
The most expensive KB and mouse I've ever bought. The previous mouse I had was like 70ish $, my MS Laser mouse.

Finally bought into the Razer hype and bought them. So far not too bad, the keyboard feels pretty good, nice click sound... The rubber feels weird for typing though, as though my nails will slowly wear them down, cut into the rubber and such. The mouse feels slightly too big for my hand at the moment.. can't really reach the scroll wheel comfortably.. Guess will get used to it in time.

Well now I have 2 Razer stickers... not sure where to stick them to.. Resurrection's casing..? On the Keyboard itself? Hmm... Iono!

Here's a pic of the mouse and keyboard, and part of Resurrection's casing. All blue! + Black casing and monitor! Kinda matches huh.. But actually I wanted the mouse with the red lights.. but they didn't carry it .. =(

Drat, the keyboard's supposed to have blue lights on its keys too, but somehow it isn't captured in the picture.. Oh well just imagine it has blue light!

Buh

So .. I started yet another blog. But this time it's supposed to chronicle my endeavours in extra money making. http://lfmoney.blogspot.com hopefully it'll chronicle more green stuff than red stuff =p

Also set up adsense on these blogs... maybe can hopefully make some money? But they don't seem to be appearing. zzz. But not likely, given the extremely low traffic of these blogs.. hehe

I was checking the stats of palindrone, and sadly it's empty! Zomg. But I haven't finished my story yet.. need to pick it up again and finish it, it's meant to be a short story anyways, about 3 - 4 parts. Will have to read it up again and start composing, since Snooks doesn't seem to be able to save emails once they are sent out.

How I (finally) got my stupid PHP to work

/configure --with-apxs2 --with-pear --with-gd --enable-pdo --with-pdo_sqlite --with-zlib --with-mysqli --with-mcrypt=/opt/local/var/macports/software/libmcrypt/2.5.8_0/opt/local --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-curl --enable-calendar --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-ttf=/usr/X11R6 --with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-jpeg-dir --with-xpm-dir --enable-soap

-_-

Hope these are all the extensions needed

Installing RRDTools on OSX

Phew.. Finally got the darn thing to install...
I better put this in here for posterity.

sudo cp /usr/X11R6/include/ft2build.h /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/gtk/lib/pkgconfig"
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/X11R6/include/libpng -I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/lib -I/opt/gtk/include/libart-2.0 -I/opt/gtk/include -I/usr/local -I/usr/X11R6"

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib"
CFLAGS=-O2
export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS CFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Your paths may vary

Blah

Yes! Finally back to blogging. Been too busy to do that (and expand on my story). Phew.
Hmmm where shall I start? Thailand mayhaps! Went to Bangkok during the Good Friday weekend. Was the first time there. So fun! Both G and I are slackers so no omg it's 7am we need to wake up now, kind of crap :p
We'd only sortie out at nearly 12pm :p
Did lots of shopping there. Totally no sightseeing. 1st trip where I spent almost all my money, even changed an extra 50$ over there.
So much variety there! Hardly any repeats at all. The sunflower seeds are fantastic too. Will need to ask people to buy for me if they go, heh.
Then it's back to Singapore and back to work again... Had a release due 1st April and there was lots undone. The front guys were overtaxed, the service guys were clueless. Sigh. My colleague and I volunteered to help out at QA, since there was only 1 person doing it. Zzz the staging server was so slow. Many things which were working didn't work, and many things which weren't working still didn't work. But finally, after burning the entire weekend plus Monday (getting home at like 2 to 3ish am) it's finally out! Seems fine so far...
But still feeling rather blah at the way things are done (and not done). I can't even get a database schema... Sigh
Ba must continue ebony's adventures soon! Dang!
