I am annoyed by WP 2.7

I can’t use the word “hate”. But yeah, I know I always use that word indeliberately. My bf is an expert about “my” linguistic. It’s my term of endearment. You know, like “I am so annoyed by you but I don’t want to get angry because I love you”  kinda thing.

Oh. About WP 2.7. Apparently, WP developers improvethe dashboard in terms of organization. But heck, it’s even messier now. It’s a bit difficult to focus to write using WP 2.7 (ADHD people knows how annoying a clustered blog dashboard is! ) and this make me feel like blogging with Facebook’s note.

Right, I know it’s a bit better than 2.6.5. It’s widgetized. Drag and drop yada yada. The plugins have updated automatically but hey, I think they are too busy fixing nitty gritty stuff to the extent they are so disorganized and have messed up with the dashboard.  3 columns and too many boxes at the same time??

Let me explain my situation here. I am having difficult time not to look at my monitor screen to much or I’ll be distracted from writing this post. Thus, I typeby looking at the keyboard *bowing my head* and I’ll correct my typo letter. It’s kinda, I am looking at the keyboard and not synchronizing my eyes with the monitor. It’s so hard to focus with WP 2.7!

Alright, let me get this thing out of my chest. I love WP before this but 2.7 makes me feel like urgh!!! Geramnya!! Before this, I love you because of your simplicity but now, you’re as complex as women.

Oh, it’s not just me. This entry somehow explains the bad side of WP 2.7 in a subtle way. Oh, they’ve discuss about it in this forum as well. Sorry if I’ve spoiled your Christmas, WP!

Facebook faces

I found a good article that describes people’s psychology needs according to their Facebook profile pictures. People post pictures because they want to tell others, who they are, or what they want, or what they need. So, which one is your description?

What does your Facebook profile say about you?

By Hannah Wood, Mirror.co.uk 6/10/2008

How often do you change your Facebook profile picture? And just how much do you agonise over it?

Have you ever used a holiday bikini shot or a cheek-to-cheek one with your new squeeze (just to let the exes know how happy you are)?

Do your friends shout out: ‘That’s your new profile picture!’ When they catch you at your glamorous best on a night out? And do you actually look anything like that well-edited shot posted up on your Facebook page?

According to a survey done by cosmopolitan.co.uk we care more about our appearance on social networks than in real life.

Cosmo put a sample of profile pics to social psychologist Dr Asi Sharabi and asked him to interpret what they tell you about the person behind it.

Match yourself against his verdicts:

POUTING: Presenting such a provocative, sensual symbol indicates someone who wishes to be acknowledged in a sexual way – seeking intimacy or a partner. It could also indicate being a very tactile person


Photobucket
WITH AN ANIMAL: A person who displays themselves as capable of caring and nurturing, indicating need of an outlet for these tendencies and a broody nature.


Photobucket

DANCING: To display yourself on display, so to speak, is the ultimate invitation to be watched. Those who show themselves dancing are likely to be strongly extrovert. Additionally, in Western Culture, dancing has strong connotations toward leisure and freedom, denoting a hedonistic, pleasure-seeking streak.

Photobucket
WITH A BOYFRIEND: A popular picture type with serial monogamists, and signifies searching for a deeper or more committed relationship.


Photobucket
WITH A GUY (NOT BOYFRIEND): As well as a simple flirtatious contact, a picture with a potentially ambiguous meaning shows a love of creating stories, and playing games with the social fabric. In short, one who thrives on gossip.


Photobucket
DOING AN ACTIVITY: This is someone who identifies with their abilities and experiences rather than emotions or relationships. It may also indicate an unwillingness to commit or settle down.

Photobucket

ON HOLIDAY: Those who identify themselves with a carefree holiday may have a tendency to over-stress in their everyday lives. This could also indicate escapist fantasies or a dreamer disposition.


Photobucket
LOOKING AWAY FROM CAMERA: An unwillingness to be caught and posed in the conventional way is indicative of someone headstrong and confident in their approach to life.


Photobucket
NIGHT OUT/FANCY (RAYA) DRESS: This image represents the social, extroverted aspects of a personality; denoting that they value confidence and attention highly.

Dr Sharabi said: “Our social network profiles have become so ubiquitous with our lives that our online and offline appearances are now fully intertwined. On social networks, just like in the physical world, we are constantly working on our self-image, putting forward facets of ourselves that we want seen, and, as in life, we unwittingly uncover aspects of ourselves that we might have preferred to have kept hidden.

Yang takde gamba: Takde kamera, pemalu, stalker (ex girlfriend) atau tak yakin diri.

Fashionable geek

So, having a blog which makes a geek (read: boyfriend) cringed upon loading, will lead to endless argument. So, I’ve read Adam’s entry, which suggest SEO analysis site, and I thought of giving it a try.

I typed Qalamun.com and in less than 1 minutes, it reports my blog statistics. *holds chair for support*

It’s a very detailed report, mind you. Long detailed report but quick. Faster than your blood test result. It also gives recommendations on how to improve your blog. This is a quick, compulsory test I would say for fashionista’s blog because most of fashion blog have enormous size of images. Of course, we like to post pictures yada yada but still, we want to give pleasure to our readers. Having a blog which uploaded slowly like a sloth is sooo not fashionable.

So these are reports for most clicked fashion blog.

Quran geek

[Sebab Kak Mass menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu dengan harapan akan memperbaiki bahasa ibunda, maka saya pun berniat yang sama]

Mak selalu suruh saya belajar tajwid supaya bacaan saya betul. Mak lambakkan buku-buku tajwid konservatifnya di depan saya. Tapi buku-buku itu ada yang ditulis secara tak menarik (maklumlah, saya orang yang unconventional). Terus terang saya katakan, saya tak pernah lagi belajar secara formal selepas meninggalkan sekolah. Dari sekolah rendah lagi memang fail bab tajwid. Tapi bila tasmik (perdengarkan bacaan), boleh lepas pulak. Hee. Kalau lepas ni ada offer bagus untuk belajar Quran dan masa mengizinkan, Insya Allah saya akan pergi belajar.

Oh, berbalik kepada tajuk entry. Kenapa Quran geek? Penggabungan Quran dan teknologi akan memudahkan orang-orang seperti saya (baca: geek) belajar tatabahasa Al Quran. Ada suara kecil bertanya “buat apa nak belajar tajwid Quran? reti baca cukup la”.

Membina masjid

Esok ada 4 kenduri. Satu di Pahang, satu di Kedah, kemudian di Selama dan ahirnya kenduri kesyukuran di Klang. Baguslah. Selamatlah walimah dan kenduri. Mudahan diberkati Allah. Baru tadi tengok Wedding Daze atau di US lebih dikenali dengan tajuk ‘The Pleasure of Your Company’. Dah lama download ia. Dulu takde masa nak tengok.  (Gosh my BeeEm is so broken). Sekarang ni musim nak membina masjid. Alhamdulillah. Dah sampai masanya. Tahniah semua. Mudahan bahagia hingga ke jannah.

Oh ye. Lagi satu kebaikan membina masjid (kahwin). Solat orang yang sudah berkahwin itu juga dua kali ganda pahalanya dari solat orang yang masih bujang. Jeles aku. Tetambah kalau dapat berjemaah dengan suami.

Sebarang soalan bonus atau cepu emas kepada penulis adalah dilarang sama sekali

Lagi satu kes membina masjid. Tadi sebelum Maghrib ada pelancaran Masjid Kristal di Terengganu (ni masuk subjek masjid tempat orang solat tu ye). Subhanallah hebat. Yang pertama dalam dunia kata Mamanda Menteri. Tiada masjid dalam dunia ni yang dibina menggunakan keluli dan gelas. Kalau siang warnanya bagai permata. Waktu malam ia bersinar mengikut cahaya lampu. Seni binaan memang hebat. Semuanya hasil kerja orang Terengganu (yeke? takkan takde sedikit orang Indon pun? Ahahaha) Hiasan dalaman pun cantik dan halus. Tapi malangnya ia tak digunakan untuk solat Jumaat (I pun tatau kenapa. Katanya belum taraf masjid jami’). Baginda pun muka tak berapa ceria la membaca titah, mendoakan agar negeri takluk beliau dilindungi dari malapetaka. Mungkin kerana baginda terasa kehilangan seorang Mamanda yang bisa membaca doa tanpa mengharapkan Sang Mufti. Kemudian hati kecil ini bertanya:

Orang datang solat di masjid ni, nak lihat keindahan masjid ke sebab nak solat?

Apa point buat masjid lawa-lawa. Rasanya Al-Aqsa tu kalau solat di dalamnya, dapat pahala 500 kali ganda. Alangkah lebih baik disedekahkan duit rakyat Malaysia itu kepada saudara seislam disana. Panjang pahala rakyat Malaysia. Di sana Insya Allah ada orang melakukan solat sepanjang waktu. Bacaan lanjut.

I’m impressed with the geekiness of Terengganu people who read Quran using computer. Welcome to the club. Heheh.

Mudahan rakyat Terengganu dapat memanfaatkan dan mengimarahkan masjid tersebut.

Moral: Binalah masjid kalau anda mampu. Sekianterimakasih.

Kurang lojika

Saya tahu badan saya sangat penat. Otak saya lagi la penat. Tapi semangat kena kuat. Walaupun ada je orang nak pull me down.

Badan sudah sakit-sakit. Memang saya sangat amazing. Dua orang teman serumah sudah dapat flu. Selalunya saya yang kena dulu. Tapi kali ni alhamdulillah. Berjaya tidak mendapat flu itu hingga ke huruf terakhir dissertation. Sakit badan itu pasti. Sengal belakang tu sampai tahap buat-buat tak tahu. mata tiba-tiba bloodshot, berjaya dikurangkan semasa girls day out. Right. It proves that shopping is theraphy and heals one’s sickness.

So, the battle goes on. How to save a life? I just move along and few people who cares and keep on asking about me, makes me go on. Unbelievably, miracle happened. Even I myself was quite proud, because I did not make any sense previously. I was doing mixing and matching. I was so blur and disorganised. I was a wreck. But thanks. He showed me guidance and send helpers. If I deserve it, I do.

So I went to Roborugh surgery. Went to see nurse Margo again. Doctor Brodribb is quite busy I reckon. Or he just does not want to see me? His hand was full? So yeah. The rain was pouring heavily from dark sky above. I was cold and alone.

I told Margo, I thought I got myself tonsil. I barely can speak. Swallowing my own saliva is like eating rocks. Oke. Rocks are exaggerated. Pebbles. Kalau menguap, rasa macam ada tumor je kat dalam tekak. And then my hand, is like Doraemon’s this morning. Don’t tell me how to clasp. Luckily I don’t handle knife or blades. Basically, my hand is chubby. Happened before but ignored and allow self-healing. Whatever.

Diagnosis: My throat was a bit pink. My body temperature was slightly high but not worrying. My ears are OK. My gland is OK. My lips are fuller (Imagine Angelina Jolie people). My hand is chubby, but cute. I can’t believe this as well but Margo said, my hand is swollen because I type too much. Huh. Geek la sangat. Yes. I got response like “Astaghfirullah “. Huu~~ my broken back needs to get laid (check the dictionary. there are 66 definitions for ‘lay/laid’) Thankyouverymuch. Aite. time to get rest.

Tampo nak?

I wonder why you read this entry to the end. This is a rant. Hahah.

Esok-esok lah jawab tag cik Tinker. Penat beno.

Why geeks shall inherit the earth?

  1. Simply because, geeks are rich. Namely Bill gates, and now, young Max Levchin. Anyone rajin (hardworking) enough to analyse Forbes’ list? Let’s share them here. 
  2. Although some geeks are dropouts (obviously the system bores them to death), but they are successful. (If the term ‘geek’ is created in 1847, then Thomas Alva Edison is one). More stories of successful dropouts, here.
  3. Geeks contribute a lot to the society. Inventing gadgets contributing ideas each day. In plain English, geeks improve other’s life.

You have more points? I believe you do. Caruk (write/ point out/ state) them in the comment box.
