You can see a gallery of hiccup remedies here.

Gurgling COLD water (not drinking) worked finally… I tried everything else and went to see doctor at Kaiser and nurse didnt know what to do but suggested this as last resort. You can see a gallery of hiccup remedies here.

Update: Gurgling didnt really work. It came back. Finally I drank a lot of water while bending my head back and putting my arms in the air. And that seem to have worked.

I finally figured to speed it up by excluding certain paths in the Subversion Settings -> Shell Overlay and select to show overlays only in Explorer and only include the folders I need to see this.

These are truly funny….

WalMart is now selling electric bikes (not online) and the prices are quite reasonable. I think it’s pretty good but they need to sell a beach cruiser version.

These are some useful shortcuts for moving around Visio

Daniel Lyons writes that Apple is becoming like Microsoft and I think it’s true. They company doesnt really respond to customers very well and everything is kept so secretively. I used to like the iPhone but now dreads it’s constant lockups and freezes since updating to firmware 2.0. It’s such a bad user experience.

The latest 2.0 update has killed my enthusiasm for the device. Everything is slow and things constantly break.

I really like Save Complete. My previous favorite was ScrapBook but Save Complete really shines in saving and not altering CSS and other files. For me, it’s now the best for saving web pages to my local machine.

This is such a great page to show all kinds of examples of CSS and Opacity.

Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine. I simply cannot stand the rounded corners of Mac OS X scrollers. It really bugs me for the longest time. My favorite is still OS 9. I like the design much better than OS X.

Check this out… Amazon actually sells instant noodles. Also be sure to check out my instant noodles database.

I am seriously impressed by some of their templates. Really incredible and beautiful designs. The prices are reasonable too. About $3200 for the top package and $800 for the basic package.

If I was a photographer, I would probably just use them.

Check out some amazing fashion photographers.

Check out the instant noodles database that I am compiling… It’s based on reviews from ramenlovers and other sites.

This example shows how to do onClick behavior using CSS.

It is one of the worst updates I have seen and it impacts the most important device I have. The hardest thing about the iPhone now is making phone calls. Every action is about 2x or 3x slower. Going to Contacts to get a list of people takes forever. Taking a photo takes forever.

Sometimes the damn thing freezes and you have to wait a second or two for it to come back.

They should put the iPhone to good use by placing it in HORROR movies and show how the characters get killed because their iPhones couldnt dial out, lose signal, or just take too damn long to make a call. It deserves a spot in movies and films for making people get killed.

What’s up with Steve Jobs… man, this iPhone update is rotten to the core, filled with bugs and crap. It might be the beginning of the old Apple. Sub-quality products that dont work and expensive as heck.

Floors were seriously shaking. Ticket were at $22 and the lines were long as heck. The guards kept telling people to leave their cameras out of the “sanctuary”. Wait was a bit longer than expected. Doors were suppose to open at 6pm but they opened it around 6:45pm instead. It was a Tuesday in San Jose near North First Street and 237 freeway. Main singer was Joel Houston (son of Brian Houston – main pastor at Hillsong).

I wasnt really inspired to be honest until the last few songs. The encore songs were the best. “One Way” was the one that got the most applause. That brought me to my feet. Never seen so much energy and passion in a concert before.

Update 9/3/08: Just came across a bunch of internet stories about Hillsong and some controversies. Worth reading definitely… accusations of being a cult.

Hold Home and Restart button (at top right of Iphone) for a few seconds.

Wouldnt that be like being in an oven and would heat up and ruin a lot of the treasures? Doesnt make sense.

Where can I watch infomercials online? All the ones I tried dont show nothing. They say they show but all bad links.

Why does Google results changes daily? One day, my blog is at top and another day, it’s not found at all on first or second page. That is so weird…

I was kind of surprised. I saw it on HBO the other day and it actually sucked me in. The scenes between Gretchen Mol and Joseph Fiennes were steamy as heck. in fact, it’s part of the Most Sensual Scenes in Movies & Films.gallery.

There’s a gallery of electric bikes but I feel electric bikes are still too expensive. It needs to come down more in price if they are going to sell well. Plus major retailers like Target and WalMart needs to stock them because shipping is freaking expensive. What is better? Lithium batteries or lead-acid batteries? I heard the lead-acid retains its charge better over time. However they are heavy suckers.

Ranch 99 sign is up on Grant Ave and it is next to Nob Hill Foods. I went there today and it was still closed. There’s also a Karate studio opening up next to Ranch 99. I guess parking situation will get worse in that plaza. I cant wait for Ranch 99 to open so I can grab stuff at both Nob Hill and Ranch 99 together.

Went to OSH today to buy plants and the quality was just awful. They were selling shade plants and the quality was just terrible. For $22 you get this bad looking plant. I admit it’s easier to find someone to talk to but they got to improve their selection and quality to beat Lowes or Home Depot.

I am trying to find out what page my site appears in Google Search Results. Does anyone know? I did a google search but didnt see any results. I like to figure out what page of google results my site appears.

Check out www.instantnamebook.com to quickly find meaning of names as well as origin of names. It is an online names database with tons of names in the database and the results are all done using AJAX.

When I write a blog, it gets picked up by Google spider quickly (matter of hours). And I see it in the first few pages of Google Search results. But after a few days, it quickly deteriorates in results and end up further and further back. Why is that? Does it happen to your sites?

I just got back from Sweet Corner that’s near Starbucks in Mountain View. They have good tart flavor yogurt there. Great way to cool of the summer heat. They also have a nice sangria as well. TCBY used to be there and they took it over. Today, they had a pet adoption event. Hmm.. Elaine should update the web site a bit.

It recently opened. It’s a korean restaurant and it’s OK. Not sure why they call it Ginseng but I thought the food was merely OK. Not bad by any means. But nothing different than other korean restaurants. Portions were less than other korean restaurants by I was really full anyways. Hmmm… you can cook your ribs at your tables.

I these some of these people that cleans air ducts for $99 are sort of dubious. I had one come over today and he put a big vacuum tube starting from each opening and just suck some dust inside. To me, that’s not really doing much. Is it a scam? He says there’s mold so he sprayed this mist into the air duct and charged me $80.

It’s a great idea for kids growing up on YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace. Although… I think another cool way is maybe blank out the video for first 2 minutes and they just talk. Another then the faces are revealed. Glad they got more funding.

Companies like Google and VMWare give free snacks to their workers. I think it increases productivity and keeps their energies running. And morale improves as well as rentention. Wonder why more companies don’t do it. It costs them so little compared to many other costs. Blueberries are the best since they improve brain functions.
