deADlicious, another service entering history

saw this piece of news in a tweet, del.icio.us, a social bookmarking site will be closed down. most likely not profit/revenue generating for yahoo? 😛

edudemic.com has provided 5 alternatives in their posting for exploration while saying bye-bye to my acct. i wonder how many of our teachers have been using this service *hmm*

eVideo – My foreigner neighbour

it’s been a while since i last visited eMedia, and am glad i did, cos i chanced upon this:

the video has four parts. viewing it, you can learn about food (民以食为天!), culture, values and beliefs of the Thai 泰, Burmese 缅, Japanese 日, and Filipino 菲. Chinese subtitles’ included for this video as this is a resource for use by P5 CL teachers (:

avoid connecting to …

open wireless network (e.g. Wireless@SG) and try to use secure encrypted channel whenever possible (e.g. Wireless@SGx) cos your login sessions to sites that used cookies and not on https:// (e.g. Facebook) can be hijacked with ease. saw this discussion on-going on /. , and the tool is freely available! just grab Firesheep, a Firefox extension, and anyone is good to go. impressive huh?

oh btw, the suggestion to use “Free” as password for encrypted but FREE networks is a good idea i though (:

amknps 北茂桥小学–我的母校

amknps, short for Ang Mo Kio North Primary School 北茂桥小学 was my primary school, a school that no longer exists in name, though the building still stands opposite anderson pri. nine of us from 6B-1987 gathered for a get-together two sundays ago. after the gathering, we began to return home and dig into our heirloom, and i found the 1983 official opening programme booklet, just like jinglun, though i must confess i did not take as good care of it as he did. i have scanned the pages and packed them into a PDF file. you’ll need acrobat (reader) 9 or above before you’re able to walk down the memory lane (:
