- Did you know that the word "lark" appears within the first 50 words in both "To the Lighthouse" and "Mrs. Dalloway"? It is interesting that both novels start with such an air of expectation.
- Tweak UI is a Windows XP PowerToy that lets you tweak system settings that are not usually accessible by default. Don't like that ugly shortcut arrow? Tweak it with Tweak UI!
Have a seemingly unremovable icon that is spoiling your clean desktop? It is as easy as toggling it off with Tweak UI.
You can even set how many times you want the taskbar to blink to get your attention, what programmes are allowed to appear on the frequently used programmes list, change your autoplay options, and even manipulate how large you want your thumbnails to be! No wonder they call it a PowerToy. - I'm a bit afraid. Typing in "runner singapore blog" in Google spits out this blog as one of the top three: below the estimable Lonely Runner, but above the popular sgrunners network. Oh dear me.

mn, thanks for the tip off... as always, you're on top of your game, ahead of the curve, at the cutting edge... how do you do it? what is the secret of your success? ie. how do you continually find all these gems? these interesting things to do to your computer?
i seriously want to invite you to be my sifu... please, enlighten me - your humble tech-disciple, o wise and tech-savvy one... teach me how to trawl the www with greater depth and breadth...
Heehee. First, you'll have to sacrifice a live chicken, two tomatoes, and one SE K618i. ;)
Seriously, you can only find as much stuff as you have computer problems, and I have many. :)
mn,
the latter two, i have no problems with... but a LIVE CHICKEN?!!
if there's one thing i have a morbid fear about... it's BLOOD...
the other is needles... so, don't even suggest blood donation or blood test...
once, just before entering National Service, there was the usual round of medical exams to go through to make sure each potential recruit is fit for service... the orderly (another NS guy) was tasked to take blood samples and when it came to my turn, he started to draw it while i was standing up... next thing i knew i was lying on the floor looking heavenward, voices pitched at desparation and exasperation saying: "what the heck did you do to him?"... i had passed out and the officers panicked, thinking that the orderly had inadvertantly killed me... lol...
so NO LIVE CHICKEN... unless you want another fainting spell on your hands... dead chicken cannot meh? how about boon tong keen chicken rice chicken, can or not? will even throw in the chee cheong fun for free... ;-)
haha! that's pretty bad. the poor orderly. :) looking away helps i think..
you know that verse from Hebrews: "without the shedding the blood there is no forgiveness of sins"? erm, something like that. heh. ;)
