  2. http://blogsome.com
  3. http://weblogs.us (no ads)
  4. http://blogs.bizhat.com
  5. http://blogtastic.com
  6. http://www.lustjournal.com (for NSFW)
  7. http://www.tacticalblog.com

  9. http://ilblog.it/
  10. http://www.modblog.com
  11. http://wpblogs.com/

Note that most of these free blog hosting services offer WordPress-mu version, which uses a different template engine than the mainstream WordPress. Other features and plugins are compatible with the normal WordPress however.

p/s : Please add other WordPress hosting service to the list as I might miss out on something.

Sourceforge new face!

Seems that sourceforge has restructured it’s website, and gave it a new looks. I take me a while to familiarise myself with the website, to find some stuff that usually hangs around sourceforge.net.

Personally the new website seems professional, neat and and a bit FreeBSD-like. But one of my friend disagree, telling me that the new sourceforge website looks a bit like hotscripts.com style. lol.

Sourceforge has made a list of changes to their website, their blog is located at : http://blog.dev.sf.net/

Windows in Malaysian ATM Machines?

I saw this post when i was surfing kamal’s (k4ml) blog. He wrote that he saw a Public Bank ATM running Windows OS, probably with Microsoft Windows NT/9x.

In his words

I walked passing an ATM machine when I noticed something so familiar. I step back to the Public Bank?s ATM and to my suprise .. it was a Windows desktop. The typical win 9x desktop. I?m not sure but it might be Windows NT.

He also has a prove. Lets see :

Comparing Atom 1.0 and RSS 2.0

Came across this article which discusses about Atom 1.0 and RSS 2.0 features. I’m interested in this article because I also in the process of implementing/writing RSS/Atom feed plugin myself.

The document itself seems to bias on Atom 1.0 feed, and contain one factual error in which it states that Blogger publishing protocol is widely use with RSS, which is wrong. Blogger use Atom api as its publishing protocol.

Other than that, this document is great is you want to glance through the differences between RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 which is (becoming) an IETF standards-track RFC.
