Celebrating the 10th Anniversary
Ten years ago, on the 20th of July, 1999, I acquired this domain – belleliu.com. So today marks the 10th anniversary of my little online space! I still remember how excited I was to have my first “personal domain” and how much it cost – US$70 at Network Solutions, the monopoly of domain registrar of… »
Blogging from iPhone
This is my first post from iPhone using the native WordPress app. On the left is a photo I took with my iPhone last Friday at 6 Elgin Street, SOHO. For those looking for a quality coffee shop without the hustle and bustle of the big name chain stores, you would love Coffee Assembly at… »
Upgrade to WordPress 2.6
It’s very kind of my few friends who recently alerted me of a potential security problem of my blog, it seems that my site is listed as suspicious.
Based on my experience with a few other WordPress sites, I’m pretty sure that it is caused by some security holes in my old copy of WordPress (2.2)…. »
Shameless rip-off of my blog!
Since I started writing this blog in 2003, I never thought that it would become a subject of plagiarism. After all, I’m not a popular person and my blog has attracted very little traffic.
Unfortunately, this finally happens. Needless to say, I am very upset. Not just because I’m being ripped off, I am also sad… »

瘋狂的一週
過去的一個星期真係忙到癲！日日都要開會，最勁一日四個，個個都要準備同跟進，加埋電話、email、IM、自己公司開會，夜晚都做埋野都係做極都唔完！連續兩日瞓得三個鐘之後，我身體終於發警號：狂出暗瘡、喉嚨痛、失憶、腳痛 … 好彩大部分的工作死線都總算趕得上，呢個weekend應該可以抖一抖，即係野照做，但不用開夜。
經濟氣氛大好(甚至有點過熱)，間間公司都忙，我都唔例外。但係錢又點會賺得完？咁既環境，最難就係say no，資源同時間都有限，要決定做乜唔做乜絕對係大挑戰。好多時我只有好少時間去決定，錯係難免的，但我覺得有得面對呢種挑戰係非常幸福！正如人地話既 happy problem。其實我每日都想：好生意的日子還有多久呢？基本上由2003年開始自僱後我每日都想這個問題，可能正是這種「危機感」可以令我更珍惜現在，更享受工作上的點滴。

New Web Host!
自2004年來一直都host所有personal sites在DreamHost, 不過上個月開始個blog真係好慢，我用netvigator，淨係load第一頁都要成30多秒! 每次update少少字refresh又要再等，真係忍無可忍！雖然問過好多人都無遇到類似情形，都係頂唔順要switch。
剛剛搞完一大輪的搬竇工作:
1) SSH 去 DreamHost “tar” 晒成個site folder; mysqldump 個 wordpress database （記住唔好用web-based的phpMyAdmin, 佢會mess up 個database)。
2) 跟住去新host MediaTemple個control panel 度add domain, add mysql database。
3) 再SSH 入去新 server 用scp remote copy 個 tar file 同個database, 由美國server 抄去美國server好快，150MB都唔駛一分鐘就抄完，如果無scp要我用FTP攞番來香港再upload就煩死，起碼要個幾兩個鐘。
4) 最後係新server的 WordPress config.php 改番晒 mysql login 資料, 係 preview URL 睇過晒load到, yeah!
5) 立即去GoDaddy轉個DNS, whooa! 兩三個鐘就轉左! 大功告成！
後記：
入到WordPress admin竟然post唔到新article,… »
Major changes in life and in blogging
My blog is very quiet these days, it’s not because I don’t have anything to write, it’s just very difficult to decide what and how to write it, uploading new photos is much easier.
Over the last year, I have been looking for a place to move out on my own, I have even considered… »

Upgrade or Switch?
As you see my blog is still running WordPress 1.5.11, I don’t know if it is because of the old version or WordPress itself, the entries have been getting dozens of spam comments and trackbacks every day since last month. It’s getting so bad that I have to turn off commenting! Now there are two… »
