Getting this blog going again..

Chris — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:45:28 +0000

I am planning to get this blog up and running again. This will involve providing some more mundane updates from my life, but more importantly, I will be blogging about my recent decision to get fit and follow most of the advice presented in Tim Ferriss’ The Four Hour Body.

I’ve been neglecting this blog

Sorry everyone, I’ve been neglecting this blog. Been busy with work, planning our two weddings, and writing on our wedding blog. Go to http://www.chrisandmel.info.

We’re getting married…

Nexus One Digitizer Repair

Chris — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:35:04 +0000

As some of you may know, I got the Nexus One a few weeks ago. After having it about 3 weeks, I dropped it. The glass digitizer cracked.

I sourced a replacement digitizer (glass screen) via Alibaba from China. I had to buy bulk (10) – so anyone in Singapore who has a broken Nexus One, email me. I’m selling.

I fixed it, took about 2 hours, but it works! No left over screws!

Thanks to iFixIt at http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-One/1654/1!

New Years Resolution #2: Simplify Online Stuff

Chris — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 05:50:35 +0000

I have way too much stuff online (I’m talking specifically services I’m paying for). So here’s what I’m going to do:

1. Get rid of JungleDisk offsite backups (including the S3 storage). I’m using Mozy, and sticking with it.
2. Get rid of my Dreamhost hosting
3. Get rid of my Rackspace Cloud hosting
4. Move everything to Squarespace (I just want it to work)

Um, anything else?

Do I need to say anything else?

OK, will be doing daily digests from twitter

Chris — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:39:54 +0000

…instead of have a new blog post for every single tweet. That’s just not a good idea i think…

Update: No I won’t.

What should I be doing here?

Chris — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:46:55 +0000

With Twitter, I have really neglected this blog. What should I be doing here? I thought about using a service like Tumblr or Postulous and try to integrate everything – so there would be a somewhat aggregate of everything I’m doing online, but then I loose my domain branding and old posts…

Another option is simplify my blog (don’t use such a flashy and jquery heavy theme – go back to basics – and see if there are any good wordpress plugins to do what I want (bringing in twitter, flickr, etc – in a type of auto-feed mechanism.

Just some thoughts….

I don’t want to get rid of the blog as some people from my past (Sid) still comes here from time to time, so I will try to update it a bit more often, just need to figure out how.

Basecamp finally allows task-level deadlines! Now it’s useful!
