同場加映: Primary Schools Choir Finals 2007 - live recordings from RTHK

back in June 2005, i did a presentation on the topic "What Happens to your Web-based Email After You Die?". that was when i first became aware of the probable risk of losing my blog, email account, flickr album and many other online assets altogether after my death. it's such an fascinating topic i soon wrote a paper on it for my Cyber Law course in my final school year.

as a procrastinator however i did nothing forward-thinking to minimize the risks (except maybe a little description of what i want my tombstone to be like). but the importance of planning ahead strikes me again when i came across a blog post earlier this year entitled "It Bothers Me That I Have To Go" (written by one of the world's oldest bloggers on the fear of his foreseeable death) and Dave Winer's entries on "Preserving ideas" and "Future-safe archives".

concerned like i am? here's a list of things you can do:

• create a living will online (geez i'm reeeeally looking forward to the probate classes next week so i can learn to write my own will =p)
• pre-write a message to be sent to your loved ones upon your death
• choose a person you trust to act in your stead (even better if s/he knows a thing or two about flickr and wordpress)
• install a wordpress plugin that will notify a person you choose when you fail to log in for a specified period of time

more interesting discussion:

• Business Idea Du Jour: Computer Mortician - Darren Barefoot (July 2003)
• Ghosts in the Machine -Ryan Boddy (June 2004)
• Sorry I Wrote....? - James Edward Maule (Jan 2005)
• Digital Property and the Laws of Inheritance - TechNewsWorld (Feb 2005)

DGS Easter Concert 2007: the second-last one before the hall's gonna be demolished and probably the last one i can attend. which makes me wonder if there can be a "goodbye service" of some sort, for old girls like me to attend and sing the school hymn for one last time in this hall we've come to cherish so deeply.

"What is the school but stone and space?"

"You will never understand
Never will you see
That our school means more than stone
This is our home"

- from "The DGS Girl" musical

yayyy! i hereby present a tabbed version of my blog!

can't believe i spent hours on this. the most difficult part was to get the CSS look right in IE for the videos page hosted on magnify.net (the site is slow and burdened with traffic now due to its recent coverage by techcrunch). i've also moved some of the sidebar elements under different tabs... e.g. the flickr photo map can now be found under the "photos" tab.

to those who left comments in the previous post - big thanks. i hope you're all happy with the new design :) have fun clicking around!!!
