Word to WordPress

Word 2007 has now got the nifty function of posting the word contents to WordPress directly. I’m trying it out to see how it works.

Update: This is my verdict after less than 20 seconds – KICKS ASS!

Packaging vs Contents

Good packaging attracts first-time customers. Good contents keep them coming back for more.

Rich vs Poor

I have learned some simple facts about why the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer:

When they have some money…

The rich thinks about what bonds to buy; the poor thinks about what brands to buy.

The rich thinks about what condo to buy; the poor thinks about what car to buy.

The rich thinks about what shares to buy; the poor thinks about what shoes to buy.

The rich thinks about what gold to buy; the poor thinks about what gadgets to buy.

The rich thinks about what unit trusts to buy; the poor thinks about (running out of idea, why not you help me fill this up?)

    Competition

    It’s not like I had to brag, but I have to say that I can really understand why am I facing so little competition in the web design business. I was at a networking event today, I met several other web designers — of the five name cards I collected: one doesn’t have a website, one has a less than functional website, one doesn’t have an english version site (i.e. chinese language only), one’s website was not functioning at all (server not found), and one’s website takes forever to load (only flash version available). I love being a freelance web designer!

    Money

    Don’t hold on to your money too dearly. If you keep them inside your pocket, they will never grow. Invest them, then they will grow.

    Tool

    It never cease to annoy me, when people asked what tool should they use if they want to build better websites.

    I feel like asking them in return: what type of spatula should they use if they want to cook better food.

    If they can answer this question, they can answer the earlier question.

    Mistakes

    The guy who had never made mistake, may not be the smartest guy. The guy who repeated the same mistake, is surely one of the dumbest guys.

    Opportunity

    When opportunity comes and you are ready to seize it, that’s called “Luck”.

    When opportunity comes and you did not do anything about it, that’s called “News”.

    Efficiency

    I thought by getting another computer, I could get a lot more done faster… then I realized I need another pair of hands too.

    Broke & Poor

    You can feel broke but do not ever feel poor. Feeling broke is a temporal situation, feeling poor is what makes it permanent.

    About

    This is Dean Loh's personal blog.
    Dean started blogging since 1999. In the beginning he wrote a lot of personal stuffs, so personal till he decided to shut down the blog as he didn't think it was a good idea for his girlfriend to read about his ex-girlfriends.
    Then, shortly after he got bored, so he started to blog again, and he wrote a lot of work stuffs, so much about work till he decided to shut it down as he didn't think it was a good idea for his boss to read about his ex-bosses.
    Now, Dean is bored again, and since he doesn't have girlfriend (at the moment) and he doesn't work for any boss, he thought, he might as well blog again. And this time, it is going to be just about everything!
