Tumblr Staff: News!

Mon, 20 May 2013 11:43:08 -0400

Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.

Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to…

From Posterous to tumblr. Shall I move again? I hope not..

white yakju

The regular Galaxy Nexus is too plain in my opinion. Across the pond, they sell the white variant - which is quite a looker! Sadly, they don’t come with the yakju build - which means they won’t get updates directly from Google. Of course I can reflash it myself, Google provides the factory images anyway.. but if I ever had any problem and need to repair / return it, I had to ship it back to the Old World. I don’t like that.

So I decided to get the Nexus from Play Store, import white OEM casing from Germany, and with the help of this teardown article from iFixit (plus their tool), I managed to get best of both world.

Yeay for a white yakju! Now where is my Jelly Bean? :)

The winding road

When there seems to be only one way out, truth to be told - life is ALWAYS full of options.

Or as Derek Sivers once wrote, there are always more than two options. He’s such a big inspiration for me.

Two After Noon

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:54:00 -0400

Another fine fine video by WongFu.

How would you spend an unexpected pocket of time with a stranger? Two After Noon revolves around the idea that two people can be thrown together, be attracted to one another, and connect on a meaningful level— but still not end up together. That may sound like a tragic notion at first, but that’s only if you interpret it as an ending. There are no real beginnings and endings; instead, everything is continuous and ongoing. There are so many things in our lives that are indefinite. Finding love and companionship certainly fit into that category.

Safety net

Be someone who love to explore and see new things. The world have plenty of things to offer. When things get rough, I know that there is He who always offers me protection. Maybe through this curtain airbag.

Enjoy the journey.

The best camera is the one that’s with you. Most of the time, its my camera phone.

I took a picture of this flower this morning just before I got into my office. I just use the standard camera app that came with my HTC Vision (TMobile G2), and do minor enhancement with Camera Zoom FX. What I did is just bump up the contrast and saturation, then added the round corner. Check out the After and Before comparison below.

git commands I need to know

For those who want to begin using git,

I consider these git commands to be essential:

git status
git log
git clone
git init
git add
git rm
git branch
git rebase
git fetch
git pull
git push
git log
git diff
git merge
git mergetool
git reflog
git remote
git reset
git checkout
git tag
git commit

They are not in order. I’m just picking it up randomly from my brain.

Genius

Fri, 07 Oct 2011 09:37:57 -0400

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They’re not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them,

disagree with them,

glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

TRIM Line Breaks & Carriage Return on MySQL

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:11:23 -0400

The TRIM() function on MySQL remove leading and trailing spaces. But what if you want to remove line break / carriage return?

Its not pretty, but this works for me:

REPLACE(FIELD_NAME, ‘\r\n’,”)

Usage example:

Select FIELD_NAME
From TABLE
Where REPLACE(FIELD_NAME, ‘\r\n’,”)=’NOLINEBREAK’
