You know when you’re asked by an app for permission to do something with your Facebook profile? Maybe it wants to get your Facebook profile picture, or it’s going to automatically Like a page for you — you’re agreeing to these actions, but you probably don’t want to receive emails from the company behind the app right?
Well just do this and you’ll get less spam from Facebook apps. Click the Change link in the popup dialog and change the option to An anonymous email address.
You’re welcome.
Laptop + hard drive + internet = everything I need to run my business.
Also enjoying my holiday very much 
It’s time for another review of the past year! So many awesome things happened, and I want to record them so I can look back to see how far I’ve come.
First, some perspective. 2010 was a great year. Can you believe that 2011 was even greater? God has blessed me so richly. Here are the details.
My family is the most important thing in my life. Everything I do is for little Zack and Pei Chyi.
Pei Chyi and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary in March. This was followed a few weeks later with Zack’s 1st birthday. Zack’s birthday also marks a successful 1st year as parents. This is a Big Deal for me because there is no definitive manual on being a parent. I’m super glad that I didn’t screw this up.
Recently I’ve started using Hover as my main domain registrar, an excellent alternative to the popular GoDaddy which is where many people buy their domain names from. Like many others, I have got tired of GoDaddy’s site and service. Their CEO’s elephant-killing antics didn’t help with their public image too.
Today, we have another reason to ditch GoDaddy – they are a supporter of the Stop Online Piracy Act. While stopping online piracy is a noble cause, this bill being put forward by US lawmakers is really dumb. So dumb that Google, Yahoo!, Twitter, Craigslist and many other internet giants are opposed against the bill. Ars Technica has a great explanation on why SOPA is so bad.
Anyway, back to Hover. Go check out their website and compare them against GoDaddy. They currently have a promotion where transferring domains to Hover only costs USD10.

My master bathroom
The master bathroom in our new house comes with a double sink, so we wanted to have a large mirror that is wide enough for both me and Pei Chyi to use at the same time. After looking at countless bathroom accessory shops, getting quotes for custom mirrors we decided that we would settle for the IKEA HOVET mirror.
The HOVET mirror is a beautiful thing with a sleek aluminum frame, and is suitable for use in high-humidity areas like a bathroom. Perfect! At RM349 it was still cheaper than a custom mirror too. So we purchased the mirror and had it delivered.
When it arrived we admired it and were so excited that we were going to have such a big mirror in our bathroom. Because you know, it’s huge!. So big in fact, that it was too wide for our bathroom. Facepalm!
I’m very pleased to announce a giveaway for my friends and followers this Christmas season. The good folks at FlexiRoam have given me some credit vouchers to give away as prizes, and I’m contributing a prize from my own pocket too. Read on to find out more about the prize and how to enter.
There’s a guy in Oregon, USA called Casey Hopkins. He runs a small industrial design and mechanical engineering firm who has always wanted to create and sell their own product but were unable to because of the high upfront cost and risk.
But now, because of me and 2,500 other people, we’ve made it possible for him to make the Elevation Dock for iPhone a reality.
Erna Mahyuni doesn’t mince words in her column on The Malaysian Insider about the proposed Computing Professionals Bill.
The Computing Professionals Bill 2011 was drafted by clueless people. That is the only conclusion I can make after reading MOSTI’s press statement in response to the backlash from the local tech community, and what the Bill’s “champions” have to say.
For the record, I think the bill is too vague and misguided to make a difference and agree with the opinion of the tech community that it will do more harm than good. The stated goal of the Bill (to raise the quality of IT professionals and practitioners in Malaysia) can and should be achieved by different means like better SLAs and accountability for high value IT projects.
