Sharp EM.ONE, all the features (wifi/bluetooth/proper sync) that were lacking in Zaurus for the price of a different OS. The fact that it uses Windows Mobile alone will make it sync better with Linux, ironically. Will this become my 5th PDA and have the same fate as the others? For nostalgic value, here is the child I sold shamelessly in 2004.
I have seen programs for transferring Miis on Windows and Linux before, but I don’t have bluetooth equipped on my laptop. I found out about Mii Transfer from FreeMacWare, and now I can edit and export my mii file (XML) on MiiEditor.com. The exported image looks a little off though. I lost my redness.
Exported from a .mii file:
I wish the celebrity miis on FamousMii and MiiPlaza are downloadable.
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
/files
Unlike the RAV line construction…
I think most things on this site are back in good shape. Continue Reading…
Using a random girl photo as my blog header is odd, I admit.
Two unrelated friends I met at different occasions thought the little girl in the header image is me, and both said it has something to do with what the girl is eating.
C’mon!
FYI, my obsession with fish sausages is over and I have been sober for at least two years. The saddest thing is, AFAIK, Glico doesn’t make GunGun Sausage anymore. I couldn’t find any in Japan, Hong Kong or Vancouver.
More site updates:
CSS is a beast to deal with if you don’t use it that often. It took me so long to fix some of the many formatting issues. Clicking on Comments did not take you to the comment section because a <div> was missing. The new AJAX flickr plugin I wanted to use on the sidebar was not working because new WordPress likes to wipe out session variables.
As much as I like the original theme, the html/css syntax is pretty messed up (using <h1234> to format text) and I have been rewriting it bit by bit. These changes might not be visible to visitors, but as a software girl monkey I could not resist keeping the code sanitized.
Am I the only one who has forgotten about this site?
I never finished sorting out the photos from my Japan trip. One of the excuses being I did not want to upload the pictures until I gave this site a new look.
I did started working on the new theme, but like an idiot I overwrote my work and lost all the changes. To top that, I also lost my original “siuyee” theme. That was why this site has been using the very plain newspaper theme for the past few weeks.
I have had it (fixing the site) on my weekend to-do list for so long, but it has been deferred and deferred so many times. I am sick of my lazy self.
I decided to go “agile” with it and upload whatever I have for now. Bare with me, I know lots of stuff are broken, but I will fix them bit by bit (well, until I accidentally delete my work again).
So, here we go, a not-close-to-done new theme.
I will upload the New Year’s Eve photo soon, I promise (again). If you don’t see them by this weekend, you can burn my camera collection.
I upgraded my flash video player and it uses the new Adobe flash player, instead of the old Macromedia one. Have you upgraded yet?
