1 Free Public File Sharing Servers
File Sharing plays an important role in shaping the Internet topology from the early days. It is one of the original applications of what Internet is to be: from FTP, Email, Website, IRC, Forums and the like. The popularity is now further fueled by the proliferation of high speed internet connection and ultra cheap per-megabyte storage space. It is but a natural evolvement to move from Peer-to-Peer file sharing networks into a web-based file sharing servers when the service become more readily available to end users.
The 3 typical uses are:
1. to share by placing file on a public server, and made available the download link to anyone and everyone
2. to exchange files otherwise too big to send via email attachment
3. reduce the bandwidth usage on your own hosting plan by placing the media content elsewhere. i.e. you upload an mp3 song and stream it on your website via a flash player.

2 How About a Hug? Free Hugs Campaign
Came across this fantastic youtube movie. Hug, is a human’s simplest form of expressing comfort and care to others. By holding out our arm and embracing a person we are telling them that “everything is going to be fine.”
These days, we could be a little hesistant when some stranger on the street offering free hug. We have learnt to put up a guard against society to protect our own self interest (granted there were simply too many out there who preyed on human’s sympathetic trait). And it was great to know people do care which makes the world a little more pleasant place to stay. Hug is free, give to those you care a big hug today.

3 Pink Floyd Album Cover Art
This post is dedicated to all avid pink floyd fans around the world.
I came to know of Pink Floyd some 15 years ago. When I first heard the song “Wish You Were Here” I was blown away by David Guilmor’s signature guitar work. I bought more of their CDs, eventually the entire box set, and was even so lucky to have attended the “Delicate Sound Of Thunder” concert in Canada.
The whole Pink Floyd experience is a form of experimental art. Their music were classic rock / progressive rock / electronic rock / blues rock and probably more; read on
4 CMD Script: Automatic Restart TOMCAT
There are times when you have to schedule tomcat to restart automatically for whatever reason. In my case, I have a Java web application using Hibernate, running on MySQL. Every so often the application will errored out with the ugly exception of stale connection. Sparing technicality of the exception, I am resorting to restart the tomcat everyday as an interim solution until I have worked out a better error handling routine.
My server environment:
WINDOWS 2K3 SERVER
TOMCAT 5.5.7
JAVA JDK 1.5.0
5 Best PHP forum
Do you know how many forum softwares currently exist in the market? 57, and counting. I was recently being asked to source for a forum software and it was quite a challenging task recommending the best php forum. After several days of researching on the topic, I am presenting the finding here for those who are interested.
This review is by no means exhaustive or based upon technical facts. Writing detail technical analysis and comparisons are no longer effective these days as it will probably become irrelevant and obsolete one month after it was published. However, in pointing out availability of resources online I hope to help speed up your own discovery process, which is the end objective of this blog.

6 WordPress Theme - Hemingway Variants
Hemingway theme is probably the most blogged about theme next to K2. Being an adaptor myself, I find it provides plenty of opportunities for enhancements with its simplistic but well-layout fluid structure.
The author couldn’t have described it better:
Graphical parades have no purpose in a blog template. Templates should be simple. Blogs should be simple. Hemingway is simple.
Simple, yet elegant.
This is how I would describe Hemingway theme.
