Digg Malaysia
Did you know that our Malaysian friends came up with their own digg? I salute them actually! Yes they copied digg but I really hope they will grow from just copying into something on their own.

my new phone
Yes I am a happy owner of a new phone pda phone - HP iPAQ rw6828
And yes soft keypads sucks, but I am not a very much dependent on SMS writing so it’s kinda OK for me.
I like it a lot especially wifi connection! Wherever I go nowadays I can find wifi hotspots and surf. I am still exploring my new toy, a lot of things to get used to…
Meanwhile, here’s the list of softwares I installed additionally:
- Minimo - Mozilla Firefox for mobile
- Putty - Pocket PuTTY, yes I can connect to my linux servers and do my work with my phone!
- Opera - Opera for Mobile, trial version - I think it is much better the mobile IE and Firefox mobile. They have more experience in building browsers for such and other devices.
- Spb Shell - Screen customizer
- PocketIslam - This software contains Holy Quran in English, Hadith in English, Prayer table, Prayer schedule, Hijri Calendar and Hijri to Georgian conversion.
Here’s the list of softwares I would like to install:
- Linux (!) - yes I would love to try Linux on this device.
- Some sort of voice recording software. It needs to be saving recordings as mp3/wav
- A better E-Mail client
- FTP client - just basic needs, no GUI needed. Is it there already?
- Better music/media player
If you are a PDA phone user please do share your experiences and softwares used.
Exabytes and time
I was doing one freelance work where I had to use LAMP technology. So my client has ordered hosting from Exabytes. Interestingly I had some bugs on theirs servers. I digged some more and I find out that their PHP time is wrong. Here’s the screenshot:
As you can see from the screenshot the server shows a date with more then 1 day difference! Well, I’ve never bothered to check if the servers were from US or local, I was under impression that they were local. Well, seems like not! So that’s how I get a almost a day difference in dates!
I used very basic date functions to get the date shown on their servers. The code is taken from php.net and now I need to add the difference to get Malaysian time.
I will post my solutions here, stay tuned!
Update: I used very simple code:
$h = “-8″;// Hour for time zone goes here e.g. +7 or -4, just remove the + or -
$hm = $h * 60;
$ms = $hm * 60;
if (!$date) {
$date=date(”Y-m-d”);
$getdate = gmdate(”Y-m-d”, time()-($ms));
}
