WorldSkills Singapore Finals is tomorrow!
Yes, the finals is tomorrow, including the Web Design category (which I am in). Wish me luck on this!
What we have to do is to create a simple website with CMS functionalities without the use of Internet (you have softwares like Dreamweaver to work on it) for a period of 18 hours (6 hours per day).
Hope I could finish everything in time, I didn’t managed to do it for the qualifying rounds.
RA3 Bundle at SGD 219? Are you mad!?
Just a note, this site has been featured on WeLoveWP, CMSShowcase and cssshowcase.co.uk. Thanks to the site owners for featuring this site!
Now back to topic, I happened to see a Red Alert 3 promotion poster this afternoon and saw what EA Singapore has came up with the premium edition bundle of the game.
For those who don’t know, EA Singapore always releases a special bundle for every Command & Conquer game here since C&C3: Tiberian Wars. For that one, Kane Edition was bundled with a Razer Mantis Speed Mat and for Kane’s Wrath it was a Razer DeathAdder Mouse. Now both are priced at S$79.90 and S$89.90 respectively, that is reasonable (well to me).
So now here comes Red Alert 3 and they too have a bundle. This time it’s a Microsoft SideWinder X6 Gaming Keyboard. Wow, that’s great! The only problem? They decided to be even more generous and add a friggin’ bag, bring the total to S$219!!!
Now EA, maybe it’s only me, but forking out S$219 for a game bundle is simply ridiculous. So I guess I’ll pass. Yes they also have an officer’s edition which is S$119, but it comes with only the bag. Oh great…
That leaves me with only premier edition at S$79.90. Maybe I’ll just forget about Red Alert 3 and get Fallout 3 and play with it until Call of Duty: World at War and Left 4 Dead comes out.
Too bad EA!
Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
After fixing all the little bugs here and there, something came into my mind: Internet Explorer 6
Now in case you don’t know what can IE6 do to you when you attempt to make your site work on the dreaded browser, check it out here: http://savethedevelopers.org/.
Eventually, I decided to block users away from IE6, but how? Here’s how:
Now…that pretty much solves it. Ok I’ll be honest, I thought of redirecting them to rick roll or something.
EDIT: I have to comment that line so that you won’t get redirected to that page.
Arras.Theme – Gaming Edition Updates
Just to give updates on my first premium WordPress theme:
Affiliate Program
The affiliate program for the theme is now available, check it out here:

Theme Give-away
I have worked with the owner of WP-Premiums to give away 3 single site licenses to anyone who took part in the contest hosted over there. (I know it’s too late to post this one now since it ends ‘today’).
I’ll be releasing a blog edition of the Arras theme which is a stripped down version of the premium one and it should be free
Cheers!
Officially back online!
Yes after two failed version releases (v2 and v3) zy.sg is back online again.
Now other than squashing all the bugs lingering on this blog, it should be working fine now.
