Duck!

Originally uploaded by siuyee.com.

In an effort to keep this blog active, I am going to post more random pictures.

Randomly unrelated:
I got “403 Forbidden” on options.php when I tried to update the settings in my WordPress blog. I spent 15 minutes going through file permissions and stuff, thinking my blog might be hijacked again. It was actually the links in “Update Services” that caused the problem. My web server has mod_security turned on, and it does not like the word “xmlrpc” in a few of the urls.
Randomly related to the unrelated:
I have not been able to post to here via any blogging client or flickr. Guess why? mod_security blocked access to xmlrpc.php!
Added the following to my .htaccess file:

files xmlrpc.php
SecFilterInheritance Off

I stayed at two very different business hotels while I was in Tokyo. The first being the very-popular-among-tourists Toyoko-Inn at Ikebukuro Kita-Guchi. This is the third time I stayed there and I highly recommend it. 7140 yen per night for a single room is a great deal for the service they offer (super clean+internet+breakfast).

It is not omg!-cheap (see the next one behind the cut) compare to other business hotels, but it still beats staying at a “regular” hotel that starts at 15,000 yen. Most people I saw were there for the Fukubukuro business anyway.
