Getting Things Right, A New Service Pack, and Becoming a Hero

Finally! After scrolling down carefully on the comments section for this layout, I found this blog which posts most, if not all, the bugfixes for our current layout. Thanks to the author various fixes has been done, such as the missing comment form, the footer now has links to recent posts and comments, and also the ad header, which collapses if an ad blocker is present, has also been fixed. So I suppose that ends all the bugfixes, hopefully, so that I can focus more on blogging instead. Again, please report for any bugs you find.

AimanThe9th has just posted about Vista SP2 now available for download in Tech Talk, an update I have been longing ever since the beta version of SP2. While the x86 version is only 348.3 MB, an x64 user like me will have to download a 577.4 MB file instead. Hefty, but I hope it's worth it.

Yesterday, after the last post, I went on to play Battlefield Heroes beta. It was quite fun, although I didn't do much kills during the session. I chose the soldier class, and joined the National Army, which is the Nazi's in disguise. Eventually I got pwned hard, thanks to my low ranks (currently level 3) and frequent grenade spams. I'm not sure if that was a perk or the specialties of the Gunner class, but it's hellishly effective at lowering my HP drastically. So instead of assaulting the enemies, I focused more on capturing points, which allows me to gain some more experience. The fights were quite tight thanks to a player nicknamed hipstler (you can expect he's a National), who balances the National Army which consist mostly of noobs like me. I'm a hero now. A noob one. Haha.

Major Layout Change

If you guys stumbled on this blog with broken things here and there, it's because I'm still customizing this blog. You can see now that I'm using a custom layout, and because of that things get a bit complicated.

There are a few things to do to get this layout right, including some bugfixes and some removals to the HTML code. Fortunately, I have resolved most of these bugs but that doesn't mean that it's completely bug-free. Do report for any bugs you find, broken links, etc.

Oh yeah, you may give us some suggestions as well.

A Little Tweak, and The Crave for Banana Milkshake

Tweaking this blog doesn't seem as easy as it looks, because there are some problems regarding cookies and JavaScript. I have a WordPress blog of my own, and it doesn't cause me so much trouble except for the slow loading page, which is one of the main reasons it's not so active.

After fiddling around, I shut down ZoneAlarm in an attempt to overcome the problem. And voila~, it worked like a charm. So I got happy-feely adding up stuffs to pimp the blog, such as that shoutbox, live traffic feed, and the blogger list based on whoami's Gforum Blogger List v1.6. I also tried to apply a custom theme, but things got messed up so badly that I have to use one of the default themes instead.

The next thing I want is a banana milkshake, or the equivalent of "pisang blended" (doesn't seem to exist though). It's so easy to make that it makes me wonder why this drink is so rare in Malaysia. All you need is some ripe bananas, some milk, some ice, a kitchen blender, and the ability to operate the blender. Sugar is optional. Blend them all together in your blender, and you're finished. Fresh homemade banana milkshake. Oh yes.

First Post, and a Warm Welcome.

Ahoy there! Starting from today the Techrangers of /gforum/ will have their own official blog. You can expect those techy-geeky rants of ours in this very blog.

So yeah, nothing much for now, but we'll have something up soon. Stay tuned for more updates.

Bon voyage, mon ami!
