found another way to do the flickr slideshow, which makes use of the flash slideshow provided by flickr. to embed it, need to use an iframe. here is an example:
<iframe align="center"
src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=34129008@N00&set_id=72157603538577777"
frameBorder="0" width="450" scrolling="no" height="450"></iframe>
probably this is for more advanced users since it involves putting parameters in the query string.
here are the set of parameters you can change:
- user_id: to get your flick user_id, you need to use this tool called idGetter (http://idgettr.com/) to convert your flickr username to user id
- group_id: to display photos from a group
- set_id: to display photos from a certain set
- some other parameters available: “contacts=”, “text=”, “tag_mode=”, “favorites=”, “group_id=”, “frifam=”, “nsid=”, “single=”, “firstIndex=”, “set_id” and “firstId=”
here is how it looks like: Continue reading »

unlike what’s reported in the news [Virtual Map shuts down street directory site after losing law suit to Singapore Land Authority], streetdirectory.com is telling a totally different story:
Streetdirectory.com services will be interrupted for the next few days while we update our new maps and add more awesome online services.
so there would be a comeback for streetdirectory.com? probably they are undergoing some negotiation with the government (SLA) to get their licence extended, i guess?

sometimes you may want to upload files, e.g. ringtones, themes or ebooks etc. iBrickr is a cool and free pc-end software to do so.
1. download iBrickr and install in your pc http://ibrickr.com/downloads/ibrickr_v0.91.zip
2. if you jailbreak your iphone using ZiPhone, you need to install “ZiPhone iBrickr Fix” from installer (source: i.unlock.no, category: Unlocking Tools. How to add source to iPhone installer)
3. now you are ready to use iBrickr to upload ringtones, files or even install 3rd party applications (if you have the PXL sources)happly uploading!

now that streetdirectary.com is dead (link: Virtual Map shuts down street directory site after losing suit) if you want to do some distance calculating or jog route planning you have to find some alternatives.
some one has suggested can.com.sg. but no… that one totally cant make it…
proudly to introduce this Google Maps Distance Calculator. it’s powerful (of course, it’s using google map engine) and easy to use. definitely it’s better than the already dead streetdirectary.com and 100 times better than the lousy can.com.sg.
here is my jog route plan. you can click to enlarge to see more details

upgraded my blog to wordpress 2.5. there are quite a lot of new features in this new wordpress release. the admin interface also looks better and works better. great work!
take the opportunity to change the header image as well. it still goes for the colorful style — color pencils this time
original image is by Andrea@flickr on flickr.
amazingly there are huge collections of color pencils shots on flickr. it seems that ppl like to shoot their color pencils but have to say a lot of them are really nice photos. http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&w=all&q=color+pencil&m=text
