Suanie posted an entry about some sweet memories in the 90s. It reminded me that I was still a teenager that time who only used PC for games and entertainment.

For some of you who were web surfers back in 1990s, might still remember how the old Yahoo! and Google looked like. Just to bring back the old memory of these 2 search engine giant, here I present you Yahoo! in 1996 and Google in 1998. For those who have not seen the old version of Yahoo! and Google, enjoy too. :)

Yahoo! in 1996

Well, back in 1996, Yahoo! was still a web directory itself comprised of around 370,000 sites. That time, Yahoo! was more or less a place served as Yellow pages and to search for latest news. For your information, this is the 2-year-old Yahoo! as Yahoo! was created in April 1994.

Come across Liz‘s post regarding a young kid was trying to molest her few days ago and I really think girls should take extra care of yourselves regardless daytime or late at night. Be extra cautious walking alone or even in a group, don’t ever say you walk in a pair and you are safe, think what if they are 5 in a group !

I am not here to give you lesson, so I better show you something interesting yet can protect the girls. Coincidentally, I come across an interesting website on the same day I read Liz’s blog entry. The website is about a small device called FemDefence that it’s believed to be able to protect girls against rape !

Quoted:
The project FemDefence is an attempt to contribute to the debate on men’s sexual violence against women in society, using the esthetics of design, and the semiotics of marketing.

Good news for all WordPress users, old and new. A brand new theme viewer was launched by WordPress yesterday. This theme viewer will definitely give you a nice browsing experience while selecting theme for your blog. Instead of going through the lengthy theme list in WordPress Codex, you are now able to browse 8-16 themes at one time. This will certainly save you some time.

Other than viewing the theme in thumbnails, you can check the demo site of a particular theme by just clicking on the PC-like icon at the right bottom corner of the thumbnail. The Download icon just sits on the left of the Demo icon while More Info icon is on the right.

I have shown you some interesting PC moddings, such as Mac Mini modification using a toy Millennium Falcon, and the Think Out Of The Box PC modding. Today is Halloween, so I think I should share something related to it, here comes PC modding using a pumpkin !!

First they need to hollow out the pumpkin then dry it over night. Then they slide in the motherboard and all components into the pumpkin. To my surprise, the PC is using a Pentium M and a Dell Latitude motherboard. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter as long as the end result is a runnable PC.

Pumpkin PC Modding

I am not sure is it only me, I have more than 4 email addresses, each of them serving different purposes. Some I use for service subscriptions, some I use for daily use.

Some of you might already created some new Yahoo! email accounts in order to get the insanely cheap domain name at only USD$2.99/year. I hope this is not against the TOS. Hehe… ;))

Anyway, here I introduce you a disposable free email service, named DodgeIt. This service allows you to create email account on the fly. It is just like having an instant noddle; open, eat, throw! The only thing is it doesn’t pollute the environment. :)

DodgeIt is very useful when you need to create a new account just for some service subscriptions, such as forum registration, etc etc. I know you can also do so using Yahoo! or Hotmail but you will need to go through the troublesome registration procedures, isn’t it? There is no setup process in DodgeIt. What you need to do is to create an email address, give it to others, then check the email through DodgeIt homepage. That’s it.
