Today is my last day in Grapecity. I was working as a software engineer in that company for 2 years and 6 months. I’ve met with a lot of nice and friendly people. I really had great time with my team. Anyway, I like to go to other country and wanna work over there so that I made a choice to quit from my company. It’s so sad.
BBye. my friends. Please wish me good luck!! :)

People on StumbleUpon like funny? :)
I think, Yes!. I created an account in StumbleUpon. I submitted some of my posts related to programming things. Unfortunately, I didn’t get that much page views. then, I realized that people from StumbleUpon may like jokes or funny things very much. It’s good anyway. :) I have a lot of jokes in blog. (here goes.) this one and that one are the most commented posts in my blog.

I have good news for today. Joseph Scott, the newest member of the Automattic team, announced that new Tag Cloud widget and a few new options for categories/achieves have been added to wordpress.com.
Clouds and Drop Downs said that ~
Now on to the news: another new widget, and a new option for a few others.
For those of you who are really into tag clouds you’re in luck, now you can display your blog categories as cloud using the new Tag Cloud widget.
If you aren’t into tag clouds, but still looking for something a little different in the way you display categories we have something for you too. The Categories and Archives widgets now have options to use a drop down menu. This will be especially helpful to those of you who want your categories and archives list to take up less room on the sidebar.
We, all wp bloggers, are waiting this widget for long time. Initially, engTech came up with his own program called Tag Cloud Generator that can generate a cloud of tags or categories for blogs which are hosted in wordpress.com. His/her (I’m not sure whether engtech is a guy or girl so “his/her” :) ) program is really cool and I like it. (you may check the demo here.) But the weak point of this generator is that it require manual synchronization between your categories of your blogs and the tag cloud that you have generated. I do understand that it has to be synchronize manually since wp.com doesn’t allow users to add any scripts in our blogs.
Now, brand new widget called Tag Cloud is available in widget panel as below pic. As wordpress guys added this widget into wp system, this widget doesn’t require any manual synchronizing and it already integrate with WordPress MU system. how cool it is!
(You can find this widget in Presentation of Admin-Bar>Widgets as usual. The term “Side bar” has been changed to “Widgets” in Presentation section of WordPress MU started from yesterday.)
Here is preview of Tag Cloud and new options of Categories/Archieves. (Ref: Clouds and Drop Downs)
I hope that you all have great time with this widget “tag cloud” in your blogs today. :)
Happy blogging! :)
More Informations about Tags/Tag Cloud ~
Updated: I have tried to add tag cloud in my blog but it doesn’t look good. :( It’s so sad.)
Updated:
As Joseph Scott commented as below
Michael,
Post a screen shot of what the tag cloud widget looked like, what was wrong with it, what you expected it to look like and what theme you were using.
Then drop me a note at http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/contact/ with the details. I’ll see what I can do.
I have posted a screenshot as below of what my tagcloud look like.
Actually, I would like to get a tagcloud like this one.
Thanks a lot. Joseph. I’m really glad that I got a comment from you. Josept. I used to post some of my wordpress problems in my blog but I never get any comment or reply from wordpress guys except wp guys did reply if I send a mail via feedback. Thanks again for your comment. and hope, there will be more cool ppl like you in Automattic team.
I have been tagged twice. Initially, Ashish.C tagged me with 10 “stupid” questions on Jan 30, 07. But due to a lot of reasons, I didn’t do it. but i tried . u know.. (Sorry. Ash) . Now again, 99Sanay and MyoChauThu tagged me with “10 Weird things about me” on 23rd this month. it’s so sad.. Anyway, I’m gonna do both of memes now. but I refuses to tag anyone so those memes are gonna died here. :)
10 Weird things about me
1. don’t wanna wake up at morning and don’t wanna sleep at night.
Maybe. this is brand new disease that I’m currently suffering. lolz..
2. used to happy with existing things that I already have. I don’t wanna change new thing (if it’s not required.)
I don’t mind to have the same food (that I like) every day. When I was staying alone, I used to buy and had fried chicken noodle or chicken fried rice from Chinese restaurant near my house every day over 6 or 7 months since I couldn’t cook and I don’t wanna go out too far..
I don’t mind to listen the same songs every day. There are 20 or 30 songs in my favorite list of wmplayer11. I used to listen those songs again and again since August last year. (this was the time that I installed OS on that machine.) but ya. i may probably going to make new list of my favorite songs in coming month.
Actually, I have a thought. Trying out new thing is okay but what if new thing is not good. :) so, better to stick with something which is already convenience with me. (except for technical things.)
However, I agreed with both “A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush” and “a bird in the hand is good, but a bird in the bush might sing”. [link]
3. love technical things and surfing the internet so much
I’m so much crazy in tech things… if it’s possible, i wanna be a part of great research team to create large and cool projects (eg: Singularity). and wanna spend the rest of my lift by doing research.
4. love sweet things (eg: chocolate, candy and Burmese traditional sweet thing) and i hate bitter things except Beer.
I like chocolate so much. I like butter chicken (Indian dish). and I like Beer. :)
5. wanna smoke if i have to wait someone or if i need a deep thought or if i play the guitar
anyway, smoking is good for you [link]. :)
6. Beautiful fingers/hand of a girl
(was looking for a picture to demonstrate what i mean by “girl’s beautiful hand” but I couldn’t get any good photo for that. ) hey! if you are sure that your hand looks cool then don’t forget to send me some photos of your hand. (only girls allowed. :P)
7. I don’t feel like to clean my room
My room is like Punk style.. lolz. ( u know i like punk.. :)) but it doesn’t mean my room is full of dirt. :)
8. I used to forget
Do you believe that I don’t even know my phone number (hey.. u know why? … I’m not used to call my home. :)) or my home address? I know how to go back to my home. but I’m not very sure about my home address. What happened is that when I bought some tickets for Myanmar Lottery, the sale man asked me my address. I was thinking what my home address is. (actually, my mom told me that address thousand times.) but I forgot. I said that I don’t know. so, he surprised and asked me my phone number. Again, I don’t know my phone number too. then that guy looks a lit bit disappointed about that and told me that he just wanna inform me if i win the lottery. So, I gave him one of my friend’s phone number (u see, i remember my friend’s phone number so i can’t say that my brain is not working. :P)
9. I don’t like football. I don’t like to listen about football matches or goals or whatever.
I’m not sure how come football match is so popular in Myanmar (or everywhere) . A lot of people are spending so much money for begging. They spent a lot of sleepless night for watching those games. They spent their money for buying football journals, drinking beer before watching game and so on. Then, They are gonna tell about those matches to everybody (no matter whether we wanna listen or not) again and again.
It reminds me one joke called “Rules of the World Cup“. check-out here.
10 I’m not a fan of Meme.
Yeah. It’s true. I’m not a fan of Meme ( tagging game) . I don’t feel like to do a meme. So, I’d like to request to you all that please don’t tag me anymore. I may not participate in your game next time. Thanks a lot for understanding.
Bonus: The words “I” and “You” are very confusing for me.
Those words are very different and have very different meaning. But I don’t know how come I used to mix those words again and again while i was chatting with my friend.
………….
