Unable to reboot

As I've blogged last month, I mention that university life will consume a lot of my time. My blogging frequency has reduced to around two entries per month. Sigh. Last week, I had three examination papers. Logic Circuit Design, Computer ...

Malaysia Bloggers logo

I once read a very interesting article written by Andrei Herasimchuk. It's about the potential rebranding of the W3C logo, added with a little sense of playfulness. It inspires me and opens up a new dimension in my understanding of ...

Non-commercial artwork

Sometimes, I receive emails from people asking to use my Phoenity icons commercially. Most of them are software developers and web designers. I remember the first time receiving such email, I was shocked, never even realised that I can actually ...

Web standards breakage

Hear, hear. Code for standards, don't code for browsers. Site developers, web authors, repeat that mantra every day please? Indeed. I read Tristan Nitot's article and Eric Meyer's comments. It's a good read, focusing on issues of web standards support and web ...
