moved on to wordpress

it took me half a day (not continuously doing it every minute though) to migrate the MT storeroom to the WP platform. has been contemplating this move since many months ago and i’ve finally gotten it done (:

have been very satisfied with MT except: (1) every upgrade of platform will cause me to lose all Chinese/unicode entries (turn all content into gibberish) (2) lack of nice themes/templates. so it’s goodbye to MT for now.

i’ve chosen this butterfly theme as i thot this shift resembles the lifecycle of caterpillar to butterfly. it’s a renewal! (:

Learning about learning

learning is our core business but at times if you are asked “how do people learn?” we may not be able to give an answer outright or an explanation following the latest development in learning sciences research. chanced upon this website while looking at AifL, Learning About Learning is a very informative website. you’ll find video illustrations, checklists for evaluation, info on further reading and staff development resources for 9 areas covering:

  • Differences (in learning)
  • The brain
  • Emotions
  • Thinking
  • Motivation
  • Creativity
  • Collaboration
  • Digital learning
  • Assessment

nice (:

Windows 7 – pricing, releasing date, trial

windows 7 is micro$oft’s next release of operating system set to replace vista. according to bbc news, windows 7 is set to be released on Oct 22, 2009, and in UK, it’ll cost £79.99 for an upgrade version.
if you would like try it for free, grab the release candidate by end July 09. it’s recommended NOT to install on a system that you’re using currently using for work/play/study. i’ve tried installing it on a kohjinsha sh, and it’s running OK, except the cpu is not fast enough so you’ll need some patience for things to load. but it’s installable, runable and usable, quite surprised (:
and btw, the worldwide upgrade option programme is due to begin only on 26 June, which means those pple who bought their computers some two weeks ago at pc show missed their free upgrade chance? hmm … …
