My favourites at WWDC’09 Keynote

By Belle

The WWDC’09 keynote live stream is finally available (via iTunes) today. I was too tired to stay up last night to follow it on Macrumors, and not very keen to watch the stream without Steve Jobs as the presenter. Among all the product announcements, these are my favourites (in order):

Reflections on BarCamp Hong Kong 2008

By Belle

As one of the organizers of this year’s BarCamp Hong Kong, I’m absolutely amazed by the turnout: 220 attendees, a number very close to that signed up on Facebook and Wiki, and many of them arrived early.

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)…. »

iPhone Party Hong Kong

By Belle

What has been keeping me busy in the past two weeks? Other than the usual stuffs at work, I’ve been spending a lot of time in organizing (possibly) the biggest Mac event in town – iPhone Party Hong Kong. As the host of HKU Mac User Group since 2002, I’ve not been very active in… »

MacBook Pro Hard Drive Upgrade

By Belle

Last week Bill helped me upgrade the 120GB hard drive of my trusty 15“ MacBook Pro. Now I’m happily running a 250GB with plenty of space left even after installing VMWare and Windows XP! We found the most lengthy how-to online, and closely followed one step after another. It appeared to be an easy surgery,… »

Setting up 43 folders for GTD

By Belle

After more than 6 months of implementing GTD, I’ve only set up the ticker file (the “43 Folders”) today. Since I’m not a quick (and committed) follower of any sort, it takes me quite a while to appreciate its necessity – after all, not everything can be digitalized. Hopefully this would mark the… »

Web Wednesday Social Mixer v10.0

By Belle

I thoroughly enjoyed tonight’s Web Wednesday Social Mixer as the guest speaker is Kenneth Kong, BD Director – Digital Media for IMG, the company that invented sports marketing. I’ve always loved sports, and combining sports with digital media sounds a perfect match for me. Any one needs a sport website done? … »
