For most types of work, only two levels of description are ever needed. Accountants, for example, would describe themselves as accountants to laypeople, and “tax” or “GL” or “fixed assets” to other accountants.

For my line of work, however, I find it interesting that I need to give lots of different answers to different kinds of people:

  1. How do you explain “software developer” to someone who doesn’t even know what software is? Therefore, my dear grandmother thinks I’m selling computers …
  2. To normal laypeople, I just say I’m in IT.
  3. To people who are more IT savvy, I say that I’m in software.
  4. To people in software, I say that I develop web applications using .NET and C#.
  5. To people who are working in software development companies, I say that I’m doing both sustaining (defects) and product development.

According to DownloadSquad and Wordpress.com, Wordpress 2.7 is coming out tomorrow.

As promised, here is the advance notice that WordPress 2.7 is coming to WordPress.com, and will go live on Thursday, December 4, 2008 at 8pm Eastern Time.

That’s 9 a.m. in Kuala Lumpur!

WordPress 2.7 represents a huge shift away from earlier versions of WordPress - at least in the administration area. Most of the changes will be visible to bloggers, but not blog readers. But the changes in the admin area are huge. First, the navigation menus have all been moved to the left side of the screen, giving you more room at the top of the page. The submenus are all also collapsible, which allows you to navigate the administration interface without reloading the page as often.

I just can’t wait to load it when it comes out.

Usually router looks ugly. They’re boxy looking and has only monochromatic color with a splash of black. But a few days ago I stumbled upon a fellow blogger’s post (credit to Pinoy Web Surfer), about a prettiest router round. Check out the design below.


The router, STC Livebox Router, is from Saudi Telecom.

in Ubuntu, when there’s menu active or visible, pushing ‘Print Screen’ won’t have any effect. It applies to taskbar, context menus, right-click and other menus. But I have a workaround on this one:
Simply let Gnome automatically take the screenshot, and delay the action.
In your terminal, type:
gnome-screenshot --delay=5

The number 5 represents the number of seconds before Gnome automatically take the screenshot. After typing the command, go to the window or menu that you would like to take the screenshot of.
