I’m happy that I work at Fusionopolis. I stay in the west of Singapore and there is little commute time to work. I never thought too much about traveling but with this new work arrangement, I felt I have more time for myself.
I like the idea of sitting in a park reading a book; never have I gotten a chance to do that until recently. It felt like I’ve done a huge favor for myself. It’s more humid than I imagine, I couldn’t get into the meditative state either. Nevertheless it felt right and that’s all that matters.
Maybe I should speak and write more, I’m having troubles using appropriate words. I know a word exist in my mind but I can’t seem to reach it however hard I try. It irks.
People change — that’s what I keep telling myself when something unexpected occurs. Then a voice would retort, “What? You expect people to stay the same? How absurd!” And I end up forgiving and accepting things as a way of life. As I continue to relax my expectations, it comes to a point where I wonder if I might be better of sticking with my standards.
I assume you already have PEAR/PECL available. I am using the CentOS’s stock PHP. First you need to update your channels:
kahwee:~ kahwee$ sudo pear update-channels
Updating channel "doc.php.net"
Channel "doc.php.net" is up to date
Updating channel "pear.php.net"
Channel "pear.php.net" is up to date
Updating channel "pecl.php.net"
Channel "pecl.php.net" is up to date
Phil: Your password is baloney1?
Chow: Well used to be just baloney, but now they make you add number.
Forcing alphabets and numbers into password is just annoying for me. I have a, what I will deem to be, a sufficiently secure password and I had to uglify it with a number. The number actually makes my password harder to remember. Will my passwords be just random hashes one day?
This summarizes what I observe when I watch people open doors. This is science I tell you.
Shaun Micallef – Polite Distances
In general, people here get stressed when doors are opened for them. There are a couple of times when I feel I do not get a thanks not because people aren’t appreciative, they just don’t know what to do or say but to quickly walk through the door (because they need to) and pretend it all did not happen.
