Back in 2006 i did a 1600 x 1200 wallpaper to help me organise my life desktop. Ever since i’ve got my 27″ iMac last year, the very first week I did this wallpaper to again help me organise my desktop.

I used the Linen Wallpaper from OSX Daily + the Effektive Inspired Grid Wallpaper and made this. My digital life is blissful and I wish you good health.

2012 March Revamp

I’ve finally made myself sit down and update the theme of this site. The one above was a layout I hand crafted when “widgets” were introduced to WordPress back in 2006. Now with with a huge percentage of us surfing the net with multiple devices, adaptive web design is the way to go especially after reading Adaptive Web Design by Aaron Gustafson.

I’ve updated the theme with a free theme called Yoko, Its simple design made it a good base for me to build upon. The very first thing I did was to make the search results have 100 results and for it to only show the titles.

Next up will be to convert it to use LESS, so that I can have even better control of the site’s style.

Outlook 2011 for Mac vs iCloud

Can someone please tell me why Outlook 2011 for Mac can’t sync with iCloud? I’m not sure how many man hours globally have went into trying to make it work, only to find out its not possible. If someone have the solution please share.

It seems like many people end up loosing their Outlook calendars and have them moved into iCloud which syncs with iCal, but not back to Outlook. So Outlook goes BLANK! If that happened to you too, there is a way to recover your calendar.

Luckily there is a way to restore it. I found this on a forum.

  1. Disable Sync Services in Outlook and quit.
  2. In iCal, open the calendars list and right click the iCloud calendar that has all your Outlook data. Export it.
  3. In iCal Preferences, disable your iCloud account.
  4. Disable iCloud Calendar Sharing in System Preferences.
  5. In iCal, do File > Import > Import and select the file you exported in Step 2. iCal will ask which calendar to import it to, so make sure you select a local calendar.
  6. Open Outlook and re-enable sync services. Your calendar data will reappear.

So the hunt for the solution continues.

Find Similar Images on Google Visually

If you’ve ever needed to find a “similar looking” image, you will know that text search is not really useful. This is when Google’s Image Search becomes handy.

Go to www.google.com/imghp and click the little camera on the right of the search box, then either put in a URL of an image or upload an image. Google will then help you find similar looking images.

I’ve put in the link of one of my portrait photo where I’m wearing a black shirt and I got back a whole bunch of search results filled with portraits of people wearing black shirts.

Very useful for designers, bored people, people who love Google, people who have nothing better to do, people who need to be distracted from the important things they are currently doing.
