Wild Ikea

Ikea snake eats rat
A Minnen Ratta wanders too near the Djungleorm enclosure.

Wild animals. Do not feed. Do not come too close to the cage.

Creative playing encouraged by Ikea. Think watch too much Discovery Channel and Animal Planet liao.

Wordpress Backup Week

Monday, 25 July 2005, 10:20 pm, me

Hmm.. the week officially started 4 days ago but come on, where got people start the week on Saturday one? Ok school going kids might argue that their week long holiday do start on a Saturday cos it’s a weekend too.

Technicalities aside, think the recent Xiaxue incident is a rather apt reminder to back up your blog regularly, be it on some commercial server or your own.

Wordpress is so like our “gahmen”, have awareness campaigns to educate its users. By default the admin “dashboard” is even set up to retrieve news and updates.

So fellow Wordpress users, just click on the Backup Week link there and you’ll find a slew of tools written by other fellow users to help automate the backup process. Don’t try meddling with the database if you’re unsure else you might just corrupt everything.

Wordpress is not just a blogging tool. It’s a community.

Aroint thee Google!

Monday, 25 July 2005, 12:54 am, me

Some people will do anything to get the page rank of their blog or site high enough to be on Google’s front page, some people rather not be there.

It’s scary to know that what people can find just by entering your name into a search engine. They could find something you would not want them to see.

A dear friend was complaining how her blog turned up first in a Google search. Well girl, either you’re a well known blogger or you just have too unique a name.

Good think I told her about meta tags and robot rules before she paranoiacally goes and remove all references of her name. So before the next crawl removes all references, here’s the search page immortalised forever.

Google
Don’t even need the quotation marks!

With friends like me… well I guess you still need real enemies.
