New theme. Better?

So.. what do you think of this new theme? Better than the previous one? Hopefully the loading is now faster with this theme. I noticed a severe slowdown to the site when it came to the loading speeds.

Also, I’ve added a flickrRSS block on this site, the images are linked directly from my flickr account. Click on any of the image to view the collection and sets of my photos.

Oh.. would love some form of feedback on the theme.

Flickr and blog = thumbs up!

I’ve found out that flickr’s service extends to having photos uploaded to their service can be instantly blogged on as well.

This is an example post of their magnificient service!

By the way, these are the things that I will be doing to the blog soon.

1. Changing a new theme (probably a three-columned theme)
2. Purchasing a camera (torn between a normal camera or a DSLR!)

You guys got any to recommend for both points?

SNAPS! – A change of platform.

I’ve just signed up for Flickr’s photo collection service. Drawn by its popularity, I guess having a third party to store my collection of photos ranging from aquastuff to my weddings would be a better idea. Since Flickr has merged (or in this case, bought over by Yahoo!) with Yahoo! it should be more than reputable.

Anyways… the real reason behind my intention of placing my albums on Flickr was mainly due to the lack of ’support’ given by my current hosters Read the rest of this entry »

La Casa – Our future home, about done.

Over the weekend, my wife and I dropped by our new place, La Casa, after an invitation from the developers, Far East Organisation.

In their letter to us, they indicated that they would want us to be one of the ‘first few’ to view the pool decks, club house, gym and new showflats of our new place.

I must say, we were pretty impressed with the main pool, as well as the hydro-therapy/lounge/lagoon pools as well. The choice of furniture and decor was chosen carefully and with taste. The clubhouse sports a nice set of showers for the would-be swimmers to shower off after a swim and also a KTV room, for the residents. The gym looked pretty small but had the main gym equipment with 2 LCD TVs to keep the treadmill user entertained.

From the pool, we could see our new unit. The plus point is that our unit’s view is facing the entire pool area, giving a panoramic view of the place. As I’m writing this, I’m imagining the view at night, with the lights switched on to create a resort-styled view of the place.

We went up to the showflats, which were the actual units and saw some interior designing work which were tastefully done up giving that “Manhattan” feel.

We might take some of the designs for our new unit in the near future.

Chronological outlook, since day one of rescape.

As mentioned in my earlier post, I’ve collated the photos of my tank since its initial re-scape and compiled them.

With the chronological outlook of the tank, I’ll be adding in comments on the changes I’ve made as well. Hopefully it will be something that you guys will appreciate. At the moment I do not wish to do any form of re-scape at all and believe this will be the scape the fauna will be residing in for the months & years to come.

Enjoy.

Day 131.

Day #131

Update of site/tank, soon.

Sorry for being away from the blog lately. I’ve been pretty busy with the handover of items. Apparently the site was down since 14 June till 18 June without me even knowing. There was an error that the site could not connect to the MySQL database.

After checking through the configuration file, apparently the MySQL database username and its password became corrupted. This had to be re-created and helped solved the issue.

Anyways, enough about the services of the website. Read the rest of this entry »
