A Leslie Wong Blog

I write about things I find interesting or stuff that I’m fixing or modding.

Financial disclosure:

I have purchased all the stuff I write about, except, for example, things like this. None of the stuff has been received gratis.

The Amazon.com links have my referral ID, which gives me a piece of the action if you buy something from that visit – A minuscule… a very small piece. My Amazon Associates earnings from the previous four quarters could not buy lunch at a two star restaurant.

My Google Adsense earnings from the previous four quarters would be enough to buy an 18 piece Original Recipe dinner (with 3 side orders) at KFC, with drinks.

Technical Notes:

This is a WordPress 3.0 powered blog hosted on the cheapest Godaddy shared server Linux plan.

I switch themes every now and then because I have nothing to do.

Please try a new browser if you’re still using Internet Explorer 6 or 7. I use these browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 8, Safari, Camino (Mac only), Shiira (Mac only) and Opera. I like Firefox the most because the extensions offer a lot of customization.

I use these WordPress plugins:

On my Macintrash, I run a staging server with LAMP – the open source web platform consisting of Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl/PHP/Python.
