Advertlets dropped
Written by ED on June 2, 2008 – 3:28 pm -Impromptu post I know. I’m afraid the angels of National Service will have to wait for the next post. Save the best for the last, isn’t it? I guess I have had about enough with blog advertising companies, and from now you will see Advertlets disappear from my world. Sorry Josh, Advertlets doesn’t seemed to make the cut very well either.
I think many bloggers don’t exactly need this sort of income. Likewise, I can drop these anytime and it ain’t gonna cripple my life in any way. Yet, bloggers who sign up for such advertising network expect to see realistic results instead of free publicity for companies. Read more »

The controversy behind bloggers
Written by ED on May 29, 2008 – 2:45 pm -Some thoughts arose after reading Krisandro’s post, and I went in search of the big “hoo haa” he indicated in his post. It was disappointing, I found none. I thought I could find something substantial to read with regards to the development of local blogosphere but after going through almost 3 days of postings, there just wasn’t a single post that indicated any such thing. It would be crazy to go through the entire shoutbox, hence I didn’t waste my time on that.
What generally went wrong was, some bloggers were unhappy that “shallow” posts were being “ponged” more often than others, which discussed “serious” topics more extensively. Who are these complainants, obviously it wasn’t indicated. Such ambiguous was Kris’s post, it left readers to venture out with their own understanding and imagination.

ECL launches To PM Lee (with love?) site.
Written by ED on May 14, 2008 – 5:52 pm -ECL is definitely not new to Singapore’s blogosphere, commanding readership from all over the world. She’s also well known for being outspoken against Singapore’s leadership and civil service for all the notorious “oversights” and mind-boggling issues. Love her or hate her, those who criticizes her probably can’t even piece a picture of their own while complaining.
Now, she has launched “To PM Lee Hsien Loong” dedicated to writing issues pertaining to the viruses that have found a second home in our Civil Service. The first incident is already an interesting read. But but… what if Singapore changes PM? What’s going to happen to the site? Haha!

Blog relaunched…
Written by ED on May 5, 2008 – 3:18 am -The long holiday over the past week gave me some time to set up this blog with a new theme, and relaunched with a little different “branding”. Those whom have complaint feedback-ed to me that the previous colour scheme was too depressing, I hope this little change will make it a slightly more pleasant experience.
With the reason upgrading of Wordpress to Version 2.5, it seemed to me that quite a few themes I have tried are not as compatible as I thought it would be. No pain no gain, I’m not complaining even though it has been quite a hassle for an IT-idiot like me to attempt fixing the problems. I gave up, and by luck I found this theme. I think my previous theme is a tat too heavy, and now I like this clean new look at the expense of my favourite picture you used to see.

I have a serious problem!
Written by ED on April 29, 2008 – 7:41 pm -The addiction is getting serious, even though it was never meant to be like this in reality. The more restraint I placed on myself, the deeper end of the pits I found myself. If only self control is as easy as switching on the lamp, the problem would have been so much simpler. This open secret could have cost me half my life but thank God it hasn’t.
What are you thinking lah? I merely wanted to say my bad habit of long sentences have to be changed. You reckon I’m on drugs meh? Or addicted to prostitutes like Christiano Ronaldo si bo? You think… you thought… who confirmed?
Time to look into my sentence structures.
