WordPress Upgraded, from manual to Fantastico.

Just upgraded to WordPress version 2.7.1 from 2.6.3. I took a different approach this time. Manual upgrading wordpress has started to bore me since long time ago, and now I hope to get rid of the hassle once and for all, let cpanel’s Fantastico handle the upgrade from now on.

Please bear in mind that this is my very own personal experience. Try this at your own risk!

Situation:
Manually installed wordpress on my hosting account, getting tired of upgrading every new version. Decided to switch to Fantastico install, let it handle the upgrades.

I am guilty!

Gosh it is almost a year since the last update in this blog. Apparently I have lost all the passion for blogging, but I am not sorry for that. We human seem to get addicted to many things, at different times. I am guilty though, for leaving this blog deserted and became a hive of spams. For this I must apologize, I hate spams as much as any of you. I will try my best to filter out stupid spams that bypass Akismet, on a weekly basis hopefully.

Okay since I’m already here, allow me to share with you something that you probably already knew.

Malaysia: The Internet and The Country.

I have been terribly frustrated with some of the current issues in Malaysia. First, the Auditor-General’s Report 2006 outlined that ministries have been overspending with public funds. Including:

• set of screwdrivers(brand unknown) for RM224, which only worths RM34 per set on the market.
• Faber Castell Technical Pens for RM1,147 per set, which only worths RM160 per set on the market.
• 2 Tonnes Car Jack for RM5,741 per set, which only worths RM50 per set on the market.

These are no lies, though administration tends to label bloggers as liars. These report are from Auditor-General Malaysia(JABATAN AUDIT NEGARA MALAYSIA). I’m not in the mood to tell you more about this, please download and read the reports yourself.(In Bahasa Malaysia). More news on the TheStar Malaysia
