Setup Blog software Movable Type

Do you want to host your own blog? It is easy.

  • Install Linux. e.g. Fedora Core 4 including Apache HTTP server, MySQL
  • Open the tar.gz to /var/www/cgi-bin by cd /var/www/cgi-bin; tar -xzvf MT-x.y.z.tar.gz;
  • Change the folder name for simplicity (Optional) by mv MT-x.y.z mt
  • Setup MySQL
In Linux, mysqld can be loaded by /etc/init.d/mysqld start. You can also configure service auto-load with chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on. Once the mysqld starts, you can access mysql with mysql –u root –p. By default, no password is set for root. For obvious reason, you need set the root password with mysqladmin -u root -h 'localhost' password "rootpass". Now we need create account and password for MT purpose. Connect MySQL with root account and password just assigned.
mysql> grant all privileges on *.* to 'mtuser'@'localhost' identified by 'mtpasswd' with grant option;
mysql> quit;

We now need create database and tables. This time connect MySQL with the new account just created.
mysql> create database mt;

  • Move mt-static under mt folder to /var/www/html
  • Config MT by editing mt-config.cgi. You can start it based on mt-config.cgi-original. Edit the cgi path and database information.
  • Now start Apache server by /etc/init.d/httpd start
  • Access MT from web http://localhost/cgi-bin/mt/mt-check.cgi to check your MT environments. http://localhost/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi will initialize the system.
  • Login with username Melody and password Nelson. And you are in! Remember to change the username and password.
Now you can configure your very first blog and start blogging!

Crocs sandals

Suddenly one special looking sandals get popular. The brand is Crocs. It even opens a brand store at Marina Square. The design idea is from Dutch wooden shoes, I guess. A pair of Crocs sandals is sold at around SGD 50. The price is justified for what it is made of - Croslite. Based on Crocs website, "Croslite™, a proprietary Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. it is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth and are non toxic. this versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water." However, it really looks like made of plastic or rubber, and the design is unique. Replica comes. they are sold at SGD 20, SGD 10, SGD 5 depending on quality.

Singapore Girl Sex Clip Posted Online

A couple days ago, a sex video clip about a female Chinese graduate student Wang Ting Ting (王婷婷) was posted on the internet. Just as it is about to cool down, another sex video clip pops. It is a sex clip of a Singapore Nanyang Polytechnic student . The video clip was stored on her cell phone. Someone stole it and posted the video clip on the Internet. This is a breaking news. It is even reported on major Singapore and Malaysia newspapers. Now we have so many cool gadgets. It is a breeze to shoot photos/videos, and share them on the internet. Everyone, even dog, is on the internet waiting for breaking news. Be careful when you do something secret or stupid. It may appear all over the world, live!

Watch out this sign before you light the cigarette up. SGD 1000 fine! However, I wonder if someone had really paid so much for violation.

Prostitutes in Singapore

Singapore is very realistic about this issue. Prostitution is legal. The famous red light zone is Geylang area. I heard Hong Kong officials are considering to legalize this business in HK also. Singaporeans are not allow to work as prostitute. Maybe also SPR. The prostitutes are mainly foreign workers from poor countries in SEA area, such as Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia, not from China. They come under special 2-year working pass, and must pass the health exam, yes, to prevent STD such as HIV, AIDS and so on. The brothels are mixed with normal resident houses. The brothel's house number is red lighted. The price is ranged from SGD 50 to SGD 200. Illegal sex workers are also around, and in some massage clinics. A very recent fatal case and newly effective government policy make a special social group - Chinese accompanying mom for studying kids a hot media buzz again.
