I never understood why this is necessary...,

Self congratulatory mood

Simply because I'd successfully pointed my blog address to posterous...

Though I had to kill everything that was previously in there...

My Digital Past

My history of various blogs, some made possible by Internet Wayback Machine.

This.. is absolutely disappeared from cyberspace. Been gone for way too long. Even Internet Wayback Machine can’t find it. First incarnation. Some of the oldest posts you see from 2004 were imported from here.

iblogs was a spinoff from Wordpress, for bloggers who are unfamiliar with complicated blogging tools. It’s really simple blogging platform, even simpler than WP. However, it wasn’t really popular and had a really frequent downtime. I couldn’t update my blog for weeks on end! Posts from 05-06 were from here.

This is actually still in existence, but I’ve blocked the access for it from everyone else and put a placeholder on the front page that tells everyone that I’ve moved to my own server. Most of my posts dated before August19, 2008 have been moved to this current address, which runs on the Wordpress blogging platform anyway. Posts from 06-08 were from here.

This gave me quite a surprise. I thought it’d be gone by now. I mean, the last I ever logged in was probably like 2005… It’s still there though, surprisingly. The posts have all been archived into a new one at Pixnet though. I think most, if not all, are duplicates.

This is the most updated one I suppose… The latest. But I rarely blog in chinese so… I don’t really go in anyway.

This used to be mine.. But I think I probably forgot my password to it or something and it was released back to the wilderness of the WWW. So now it belongs to someone else. XD

Don’t ask me why I have so many blogs. I don’t know.

Spent only an hour in the late afternoon, so much fewer pictures than Haw Par Villa

Photography Outing: Haw Par Villa [16 January 2010]

Went to Haw Par Villa for the first time ever (Yes I know....) just to test out my new Panasonic LX3... Shot the whole series in Partial Auto mode, with a couple of shots in the Pinhole mode and one in B&W. 

Glad to say my investment was worth it! *beaming*
