Okay, for some of us, computer geeks, techies or whatever else they call us, some of our daily chores are installing new applications and of course updating them.
Well, fear no more, this task is like taking a trip to the local park. You don’t have to personally visit the author’s website and download the applications one by one.
For example if you need web browsers like Firefox and Opera, IM Yahoo Messenger, Music player WinAmp, and OpenOffice for your PC. You can use “Ninite” to do the task.
All you have to do is visit ninite’s website at www.ninite.com and choose which applications that you want to include to your ninite installer.
And then what you need to do next is run the ninite installer on the designated PC. That’s it. Quite simple, eh?
To prevent redownloading the same application components over and over again when you’re using ninite to install several PCs, you can use this small config file. Just create a file called “ninite.ini” on your ninite folder (the place you save the ninite exectuable) with the following:
[Cache] path=<your ninite.exe folder, you can use a writeable network path for this>
Omit the “<” and “>”.’
Okay, hope that helps.

The “Fail?” Whale
Aug 15
Meet the “Fail Whale”…
The Fail Whale, originally entitled "Lifting up a Dreamer" by Yiying Lu
the image that is shown when the infamous micro-blogging site, Twitter, is overloaded.
For those of you who are not familiar with Twitter, it is a social networking site where users can post a 140-character long of sentences, to express and announce anything from the party they’re gonna attend or about the movie that they just watched, pretty much like your facebook.com‘s status updates or the karma-driven plurk entries at plurk.com.
Twitter is currently down for unplanned maintenance *doh*?
Most sites show a relatively boring and annoying “not found” and “site currently down” page to their users during down time or when their user stumble upon a broken link.
Twitter, however, chose to express empathy to their users during down time. Biz Stone, a Twitter founder, chose an illustration, that best illustrates the teamwork at Twitter working to resolve the problem, on iStockPhoto a while back.
The Fail Whale Artist, Yiying Lu, photo by Nick Cubbin
The image is an image of a flock of birds (associated with the Twitter bird) are lifting a smiling whale from the ocean. The effect was found so effective and so touching. The users are entertained by the cute smiling whale being lifted by the flock of birds, instead. Some users suggested that they give the whale a name. Later the whale finally got a name: “Fail Whale”, a name coined by one of the fans and twitter users.
The Fail Whale
The “fail whale” became so popular, that it spawned lots of fans, fan sites, fan pages and groups. One fan, even contacted the original creator of the “fail whale”, Ms. Yiying Lu to inform her of her work that is now popular among twitter users world-wide. Ms. Lu, who at first is unaware of Twitter when she first created and uploaded the illustration to iStockPhoto, suddenly has gained a lot of supporters and fans of her artwork. I can only imagined the surprise and the excitement she felt when she found out that her work is used on a very famous micro-blogging site.
Soon, fans found out the real back story of the “fail whale”, which was originally named “Lifting Up a Dreamer” and was intended as an e-card for her friend overseas. Ms. Lu suddenly became as famous as her friendly smiling whale.

Celebrating World Environment Day,
an UN (United Nations) programme to stimulate worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action. A 90-minute film beautifully shot and made by filmmakers Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Luc Besson. You’ll see the wonders of Earth (the shots were beautiful and breath-taking, I thought I was looking at a painting, wow!) and the damage made on Earth by humanity. It is a reminder and a “soft” wake up call for us living on Earth, especially with the apparent global-warming and climate change we are up against now.
