A lesson in conspiracy theory

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

The government has JUST cut petrol prices by 15 cents after Bodohwi said 2 days earlier that petrol price would not change until the end of August. Is this another flip-flop? No my friend. It is a conspiracy. Now, anybody remember that something big is happening between today (22nd August) and 1st of September? Yes, [...]

Sex and the city of KL?

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Kuala Lumpur. Not exactly the fashion capital this side of South East Asia, and not exactly the place you come to find love. In fact, you come to find the direct opposite of love – money. It’s amazing how money issues can always blow up a perfectly healthy relationship, and it is amazing how trivial [...]

After developing on Codeigniter for some time, I’ve developed some personal best practices that I believe I should list them down here. Codeigniter has a fairly “loose” MVC framework, giving you great liberty as to how to structure your system (I’ve even tried changing its MVC model into a more PAC oriented one…), and thus [...]
