Blog Live Editor (Windows Live Writer)

Since 2008 I use Windows Live Writer as my blog editor to update my blog when I'm offline. It is one of the best and reliable software that Microsoft had produce. In mid 2010, I switch from PC to MAC as my platform for daily use and it seems that I had difficulty to update my blog. I spent 2 hours searching through the net, and found an app that can use as a blog editor, but still can't catchup with Windows Live Writer. At least this is some of the software that might come in handy in editing your blog when you are offline. For PC user, you can download Windows Live Writer over here.

Maaf Lun sudah lama tidak menulis di blog ini, banyak yang Lun perlu perbaiki dalam penulisan blog. Biasa la kan orang yang baru nak belajar berjalan. Bayi pun belajar berjalan dengan memerhatikan ibu bapa mereka bukan?

Japan Quake as Seen from Twitter

Japanese people have been very open on Twitter about their experiences following the quake.  These snippets of what moved them and touched them during these very trying times are heart-warming.  I have attempted a rough translation (may be incorrect) on some of them so that you can have a read.

I hope these mini-stories will bring strength and encouragement to all.

Bob: Boleh berikan saya contoh?
