Pinpoint your photo location with GeoPress

By Hugo Lim + August 22nd, 2008

I found one useful plugin that’s make blogging about photos more meaningful/informative lately. It’s called GeoPress.

We can now easily pinpoint the location where we took photo of with this plugin. For example, I’m now writing this blog entry from my office. And, here’s goes my current location.

You can use three kind of mapping services. Namely, Google, Yahoo or Microsoft. It’s quite handy and easy to use.

Now, you can satisfy your visitors better. Time to change, Digi Wordpress, always the smarter choice.

ShoutOutLounge.com I hit 8888

By Hugo Lim + August 5th, 2008

I hit 8888 posts count today!

Shout Out will be relocated to ShoutOutLounge.com, formerly hosted at PenangPenang.com (soon to be on 8 August 2008). It is a pet project of Lasker Saw. To date, there are hundreds of active members including me.

ShoutOut is not another comment box like shoutmix or cbox. It’s not just another personal comment box but something like MIRC where users can gather together and chat. It targets mainly on bloggers. You can put one in your blog just like mine. I wish to talk no more about this fantastic feature. Try it out and you will know how useful and interesting it is.

Shoutout, your daily office companion. Your life never be the same again!

hugolim wordpress tagcloud

By Hugo Lim + August 1st, 2008

Introducing another new feature added into my current Brightness theme! It’s not really a new feature but more like a enhanced tag cloud representation. By default, in this theme, we can only show the tag cloud on the sidebar in the widget selection.

I have custom made a new tag cloud, placed on top of the “Featured articles” which can be seen right after visitor points to the homepage. It also has fading and show/hide effect with a little help of javascript. Read the rest of this entry »

Free Wifi in Kuala Lumpur

By Hugo Lim + July 23rd, 2008

ON 13 May 2008:

Good news for KL folks! I will keep this post short and sweet.

2 years of free wifi service will be kicking in the end of the month as reported by local radio station. User will be limited to 512kbps and 500MB max upload/download limit per month. Its more than enough for people on the move to check their emails and surf some important sites. Users need not to pay premium rate to their telcos on GPRS/3G data rate anymore after this service starts kicking!

Official site: www.wirelesskl.com

The Star press

UPDATE 24 July 2008: On an interesting note, our neighboring country, Singapore, has Wireless@SG. It beats KL for few reasons below.

  • It offers FREE 3 years of wifi service to its users.
  • Existing users that utilize this service paying 0.12cents per min can now no longer pay and enjoy the service for free.
  • FREE VPN connectivity ensures secured surfing experience especially while you are surfing using public hotspot point.
  • There is no known bandwidth cap like WirelessKL as far as I can see.

Brightness theme search feature mod

By Hugo Lim + July 22nd, 2008

After changing my blog theme from wsCorvette to Brightness. I began to modify the theme heavily and now the look and feel of this website vary from its original desired perspective. Take a look at the author’s demo site to see how the actual theme looks like.

Bug spotted! or something that’s not properly done or probably the theme is not designed to provide such feature. The search result page is not properly rendered. If you try to search for something that return zero result, things will look like this:-

Creating A, CNAME, MX entries in your DNS

By Hugo Lim + May 8th, 2008

Some domain manager do not provide DNS definition other than the most basic NS type records such as mine

Solution is pretty simple fortunately

There are many (free) DNS hosting service available in the Internet. One fine example which I’m using is www.everydns.com. I will be using everydns service for the example below.

Before / After diagram for the example:

Before: domain talks to your NS directly.

After domain talks to everydns, then everydns talks to your server.

First step:

Change your DNS settings in your own Domain Manager to ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net, and ns4.everydns.net. REMEMBER! Note down your existing DNS entries!

(Your domain will talk to everydns now)

Second step:

Create yourself an account in everydns. Then, create a primary domain with your domain name in it. Add back your saved DNS entries earlier.

(everydns will now talk to your server)

In everydns, you can now define all possible DNS types for your domain. Job done Happy DNS-ing!
