Was at Ridzuan’s place yesterday. It’s his birthday and I didn’t just realized ™ until I saw Facebook.

Ridz is into some web cam thing these days, he has quite a following when he points the camera to Uzyn while working. Here’s DK setting up the web cam to show everyone they can’t have the pizza we’re eating:

Maybe a blogger’s dream come true. Even parties are streamed live to the web. Yeah, we had Hawaiian pizza. By the way, most Singaporeans only heard 2 things about Hawaii, they’re a nice island and they have pizza.

It’s a potluck, I brought (or bought) chicken nuggets. The food is good, unfortunately we can’t finish them. Here’s the cake, badly mutilated with candles:

The cake is really good by the way. We talk about food, erm politics and image processing. Shared YouTube videos too. Happy birthday Ridzuan! This party, there’s around 12 people. Additionally, three laptops came anyway. By the way, it’s Uzyn’s birthday too. Happy birthday Uzyn!

Visit Yyyyyyy.info. Okay maybe not.

Instead of tights, how about… jeans? Or literally anything else.

Gay or not, College Humor made their point.

John McCain’s botched attempt yesterday to say “Ahmadinejad”. BBC says you supposed to say it this way:

“Today’s pronunciation is Iranian President Mahmoud AHMADINEJAD (sometimes also spelt AHMADINEZHAD). Our recommendation is mah-MOOD ah-mad-in-uh-ZHAAD (-h is pronounced in ‘Mahmoud’ and in ‘Ahmadinejad’) based on the advice of the BBC Persian Monitoring team.”

What? Who’s Wen Jia-Bao? He is is the Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. He serves as a member of its Leading Party Members’ Group and Secretary of the Financial Work Committee of the CPC Central Committee. Since taking office in 2003, Wen, ranked third in the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China hierarchy, has been a key part of the fourth generation of leadership in the Communist Party of China. Wen, having been dubbed “the people’s premier” [1], has a commoner image with the public that separates him from the rest of China’s power elite, and his modesty and more approachable personality are held to contrast with the enigmatic and serious Hu Jintao[citation needed]. (I love it when Wikipedia slaps that with citation needed.)

Saw two of my friends went supporting him.

Paamayim Nekudotayim is the official name for the Scope Resolution Operator (::) in PHP. It means “twice colon” or “double colon” in Hebrew.

Nekudotayim means ‘colon’; it comes from nekuda, ‘point’ or ‘dot’, and the dual suffix ayim, hence ‘two points’. Similarly, the word paamayim s derived by attaching the dual suffix to paam (’one time’ or ‘once’), thus yielding ‘twice’.

The name was introduced in the Israeli-developed Zend Engine 0.5 used in PHP 3. Although it has been confusing to many developers, it is still being used in PHP 5, as in this sample error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in file on line line

View the Wikipedia article here.

I haven’t come across this error, maybe because I don’t really use the scope resolution operator anyway.
