Future reading

So the new year past, both the roman calendar and lunar calendar. Here I am still busy with some other stuff than online-related (job). Time flies!

Anyway, since Chinese New Year, there were a lot of talk. One thing got me thinking… Read your future. I mean, how can I place my future in one of my hand, not both, just one!

Palm hand

These “reading” is getting out of hand nowadays. We have this number thing, that thing and all sort of interesting thing that can help getting your future better. I mean, why would a human depend their future on an item, or items. With all those ready in the market to get money from those believers, I’m thinking about sell and buy silver eagles at Golden Eagle. Let’s just say, what number represent how it help your future.

Moving WP to another host without downtime

Yeap, I just moved to another host, this time, I wanted to test BlueHost for a year or maybe 2 years. It’s like a trandition already, that I move hosting every 2 years on average. Which is good, because hosting provider did get busier and upgrade their premium cusotmer than small potato like me.

With so many moving host, I got some experience on moving host wihtout causing downtime. Seriously, just some trick will do. Here are some few steps you’ll need to take. Now this is an advance and cheap but time taking steps, you can always opt for a plugin to do all these though. But I like to get my hand dirty.

Step 1:
Backup (to restore). Essential folder like the theme you use, plugins/, uploads/, oh and .htaccess file.

Step 2:
Go to phpMyAdmin to get the database.

Step 3:
Create/install new WordPress on your new host. Restore all the folders you have from your backup. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAME SERVER YET!

Step 4:
Import the database to the new host.

Step 5:
Add the new host name server with your current one.

Domain propagation should take a few hours only. So be caution before you delete your old nameserver. Keep the name server intact first and check www.whois.sc with your domain. Once it stated all 4 name servers, you can start delete the old ones.

Moving around 10 WordPress sites per host migration, these steps become as simple as a symbol barcode scanner for me to point it to an item. However, it is really time taking though. That’s why I did it at my free time :)

One night in Medan

Hungry – having a desire, craving, or need for food; feeling hunger.

Currently this word is gone in my vocabulary. I haven’t really get the feeling of hungry at all while in Medan. Not because the food are cheap (believe me when I tell you that Indonesia is not a cheap country as you think). But the choices it has here in Medan. If I don’t keep on eating, I will never taste half the food Medan offer. So eat ALL the way!

Eat ALL the foods

Oh, the electricity still a problem I guess. Manage to get my body wet this morning. I saw some people started to use solar sun rings system, perhaps, “green” word is getting strong here as well.

Well, this trip is most rewarding I guess. Upgrading my AirAsia flight now…

2012 Chinese New Year

Well, new year again. Can’t believe I’ve already spent my another year in Puchong again. Good thing is, I started to really like Puchong than Sibu :P Not for the shopping and etc. Just for I can live my own life with only my wife and I.

Fireworks

Went back Sibu quite early this time, and shorten the time spending here, so I’ve been rushing for cleaning home stuff. Changing colours or upholstery fabric, hanging all those red thingy stuff… And whatever it is to show that this house belongs to a Chinese folks. Surprisingly it seems that fireworks was legalized this year.

Will be at Puchong tomorrow evening and then head off to Medan. Tight schedule for a new year trip. But work is along side with me 24/7 :D
