Check out BitlBee, IRC gateway that can turn your irc client into a multi-protocol Instant Messenger client!

The main motivation behind BiltBee is to enable console users to use a multi-protocol Instant Messenger client. Since irc clients is common in console environments, so BiltBee is implemented as a gateway server, so that a user can connect to their favorite IM networks as if connecting through an irc server.

BiltBee server is available under GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows platform. It supports MSN, ICQ, Jabber, AIM, and Yahoo! IM networks.

You can connect to public Bitbee server through CGI interface at http://cgi.bitlbee.org if you don’t want to install BitlBee in your computer.

Import Blogger.com post & comments to WordPress

Moving from Blogger.com post to WordPress is rather painless for me, thanks to the import-blogger script that comes with WordPress package. However, the default script does not import the previous Blogger comments, which is rather dissapointing for some who will miss the valueable comments.

However, i found out that this script will help you to export all blogger posts and comments to WordPress with relative ease. You just need to select “Save As” to save the file import_blogger.txt to import_blogger.php and overwrite the original import-blogger.php script. What you need to do next is point your browser to http://yourwordpress.com/wp-admin/import-blogger.php, and follow the rest of the instructions there, you’ll be having your old posts and comments on your WordPress account in no time!

I’ve tried the scripts and i’m very satisfied with the results! Good luck in migrating!

Kad Raya anyone?

I spend RM0.00 for kad raya this year. Mainly because i cant think of anybody that i want to send Kad Raya to, partly because I’m not a kad raya kind of guy (or SMS/MMS raya kind of guy either).

Well, i guess the feeling is mutual because i dont think anybody out there would expect a kad raya from me either, would you? (professional kad raya extorter excluded!)

So if any of you received a Kad Raya from me in the future, then you must be an important person to me… You deserved it!
