Synctoy is really showing it’s age.

Moving files into a folder and syncing them to another PC will move those files in the destination into a newly created folder but the source on the destination computer will not be removed leaving copies of the files on the destination.

Try http://allwaysync.com/, seems to work better.

From here.

We just need simple editions and you still want to confuse everyone? So there’ll still be Windows 7 Enterprise, Home Basic, Starter Edition, Ultimate on top of the what you call STREAMLINE product lineup of 2 PRIMARY edition of Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional.

That’s just as confusing and as waste time as Windows Vista in naming conventions. Can we have simply, WIndows 7 Ultimate, Home and Business. FULLSTOP.  3 Editions, simple!

This is to the m/billions of Facebook, Friendster users around the world. Stop wasting your time. I do understand the complexity and at times usefulness of these apps but seriously, they are your “friends”?

2 recent studies by the University of Georgia (UOG) and The State University of Michigan(SUM).

Extract from the SUM report “Facebook usage was found to interact with measures of psychological well-being, suggesting that it might provide greater benefits for users experiencing low self-esteem and low life satisfaction.”

Low self esteem and low life satisfaction. Very true but of course, I already hear arguments about non facebook users having low self esteem but that’s not the point. Narcissism, classic mythology will tell you was about a youth who fell in love with his own image. I long wonder when such a study will evolved and here they are.

People are always looking for the next thing, peer pressures don’t help either. “Are you on Facebook”? Add me leh…heard oo often…

If you’re that good like Julia Allison reported in Wired not too long ago. That could really have and may reap you the returns you think you might have. What happened to the age old – never place your photos on the Internet? it’s everywhere, faceshots and of course, easily accessible Youtube videos of hot girls (to not so hot to the downright…hideous!) wearing next to nothing doing some really intimidating dance moves.

I know good friends not through all these sites but through face to face interaction from hobbist sites then we decided to meetup then to work related meetings. Found something in common and really clicked. Not too much different? It’s hell a lot different. There is not a need to maintain a linkage of sorts within online apps like Facebook, write on their wall, update your profiles, update your twitter…poke them even??? Just to what? Let them know what you are doing? The last time I checked, real friends do not care actually what you are doing, who you are with, a ring and they meet up in times of needs or to catch up. But oh, there’s Facebooks groups too…

Straitstimes Review – When Facebook Destroys Lives by Joanne Lee 1 Nov 2008, given all that can go wrong with these troublesome Facebook one-liners, why do we still insist on updating them? simply put, it’s to tell the world (those on our friends list anyway) what’s happening in our lives and elicit a reaction from them” Well, it has cost lives before and it might just wil again as reminded by ST’s Joanne Lee about how people killed over jealousy, a new kind of jealousy when a spouse updated their facebook caused so much anger that the other killed her. I’ve seen my fair share of “wars” breaking out on tech forums, AMD vs Intel, nVidia vs ATI, my PC is faster than yours, mine can overclock more, mine run on water…that’s so yesterday, mine runs on nitrogen dude….but seeing someone killed over such social networking sites, that’s new…

So what the hell does poking in Facebook helped in within ones life? I had to find out, I clicked on my forgot password link, got myself relogged into Facebook again, took a look at an event I shot panos of commercially again, joined it but got logged off for dunno what reason(s). Got my “significant other” to copy and paste the event to me via email. I just guess more will actually see the site if it’s on a normal webpage? Targetted audience of choice maybe but I can’t imagine older folks who will travel at that age range be using Facebook in the first place.

I logged in again a few days later, curious like many others before me, oooh…I had long pending friends request! I actually have them?! Saw some collegues, old and some existing ones, clicked a lot more ignore than Confirm then Ignore ALL notification about some pokes, some gives, some I do not know what and it really dawned on me about why people can be addicted on it. No HTML to learn and hell a lot different from Blogging. An actual webpage for the Narcissist in all of us! How time wasting. I do however appreciate the developers in the apps that are available but maybe it’ll do more good if you actually do something useful like Google’s Android? hell! Even updating and contributing to any Wikipedia? or for the irony of it…updating the Facebook information page on Wikipedia? hahahaa

As with all things else, smoking kills, we still smoke. What else is harmful, we do it too, Facebook wastes time, people do it too, by the millions of people, everyday….and if they do not? Till the nextsocial networking site comes along like the many before Facebook we’ve seen, Myspace, Friendster, such sites will still continue to grow to a certain extend but like Frienster whose regular users could be older now with the younger netizens going after Facebook, it could just not be as sustainable.

wahahaha check this out. I have itcow.com since 26 Jan 2003.

http://www.soulfulcoach.com/links.html

In the course of work and not In the company of women!

Traffic being drawn to itcow.com is getting meaningless and tons of spam in comments caught.

MSN Messages from tons of people around the world seems to be having this and not suprisingly, it’s the usual friends who are sending this or have got this kind of problems…

Just don’t log in if you still do not think it is suspicious.

Still not convinced? Read the fine print…

What upcoming community? That just sounds dumb. Want more? How about a company from Panama City? Dubious enough for you?

Wanna help? Sign up tstmanagement@gmail.com for all the SPAM list you can find. hahahahahahaha or simply, blog about this email address tstmanagement@gmail.com and it’s sure to be get picked up by Google or some other search engine’s bot and get listed somewhere again and get picked up by some SPAM bots along the way. Or write to Google’s Gmail and tell them to disable the SPAM filter for this specific account?

On another note, seems like Community Site Friendster having some problem since last night with people reporting to have Friends “missing” or “lost”, so pathetic users who need Friendster to keep in touch or maintain a friendship or for the matter, any relationship, screw you. Pick up the phone and call those friends that you seriously want to keep in contact in the first place…

What has been causing the missing “Add Media” buttons to disappear in Wordpress, from 2.6x onwards has always baffled me. i foundout today that it is Customize1.0.1 Allows easy customization of templates. By Julien De Luca from http://www.jide.fr/francais/

Disable that if you are not using it and the Add media buttons will appear once again. Updated all my sites to 2.6.3 after that. I had all along thought it was WP’s problem haha, so now, where’s the mutiple add images function in WP? Guess needs more waiting…or 3rd party plugins…

Yep, that’s how long or rather a short amount of time you will need for approval of a POSB loan.

Interbank transfer takes 3 days?!

Technology? what technology?

Happy Birthday and I really want to give you this rack if I could. Google has changed not only mine but I believe many around the word with for one thing, SPAM free emails! Just one thought, could we please get more POP3 accounts checked in a single GMail account please.

If you do see this, let me know if you really are interested in your birthday. As you have wished, a server rack for you. Calculating the cost of shipping, it might well not be worth it but last I heard/ read, you have a Singapore office? heheh

I’m back to firefox 2. Well, yes Firefox 3 “seemed” faster and all but some stuffs just do not work and one sort of big thing to me is embedding of Flash in forums I frequent and it irritates the hell out of me and it seems some others too. Flash videos embedded in forums systems like vBulletin or even phpBB do not work in Firefox 3 and it is a well known problem with no much help anywhere. I even read about the problem may lies with IP version 6. oh comon! So who uses Flash videos so you can embed them in forums? Youtube and Vimeo of course!

On top of that, some Internet Banking services in Singapore like DBS, it works for DBS but repeated “please wait for applet to load” is irritating. Then Citibank and OCBC just do not work and I do not think it should be them who should be finding a solution but more to Mozilla/ Firefox’s developers.

So for the time being, it’s back to Fire 2.0.17 for me. It’s easy to do using Firefox’s Profile Manager. Read about it here. It allows me to run both 2 and 3 at the same time if needed to test stuffs out like the 360 pano I created.

Another plus will be some “Add-ons” I was using can now come back I guess. Other add on are of no problem like FireFTP and Adblock. Who needs to install another FTP client when you can do it in Firefox itself?!

Another classic case of new things may not be good things…
