Bubble Share for dummies

Following remarks I had from several Internet-illiterate readers, I think I need to publish a short manual to support my readers for a better blog experience ;-)

When you see the Bubble Share applet, feel free to click on the "play" button, it will then display the pictures embedded in the page.

If you want to browse the pictures with higher resolution, please click anywhere on the picture itself, it will redirect you towards the album hosted on Bubble Share website where you will be able to browse them full size as well as to download an archive of it.



(The one above is just a picture for the illustration purpose, it's not an actual clickable Bubble Share applet. But you can practice on the previous post just below)!!

David vs. Goliath

Yesterday 30th of January, Micro$oft released its last version of Windows OS: Vista. With a development budget as high as 20 billion USD, and a marketing campaign worth 900 million USD (including fireworks in Paris and many other cities in the world!), Vista is a great symbol of monopolistic capitalism. An expert study has been conducted and according to them Microsoft will force Vista into 80% of the PC on Earth within 3 years...

Well, I'll be part of the 20% rebels because I freshly installed Linux (Mandriva) just yesterday on my laptop :-) In your face, Bill!! What? You don't give a shit about me??

PADI-ing hard!

Thursday, the 31st of August is the Malaysian national day, called Merdeka (= independence). Of course Thursday is public holidays. I took a day off Friday, so that I can make it to the Perhentian Islands over this 4 days week-end. Great opportunity to go for my PADI OpenWater certification. Purpose: being able to rent diving gear and dive by myself!

This is for the fun part. Now, the PADI exam requires a lot a reading ahead of time. Nitrogen pressure, thermocline, Archimedes principle, buoyancy control... WTF?? Reminds me of my Physics classes a loooong time ago! So definitely I can say that I am paddling hard with it...
