Went to the Hong Kong Flower Show 2012 yesterday.
Although the weather was not very nice and it’s mostly overcast, it didn’t stop people from coming in flocks and taking photographs.
Tibet
When I was in Amman, Jordan, a Japanese student once asked me, “What do you think about the situation in Tibet?”
I was totally dumbfounded.
In the past week, there were two public memorial services for Tibet in Hong Kong. So I grabbed the opportunity to educate myself…
Apparently, it’s a place where blatant oppression has become a norm—forced replacement of Tibetan textbooks with Chinese ones; prohibition of the display of Dalai Lama’s portrait inside one’s home; political beatings and/or imprisonments; violent suppression of popular uprisings…
Which reminds me of this graffiti in Gaza…
Insha’Allah, I’ll have the chance to learn more about it.
From Drupal to WordPress
Thank you, Drupal.
While you are, in my opinions, a better designed and more proper CMS (Content Management System), taking care of you is perhaps taking a little bit too much time and effort for my ramblings. Moreover, since my favourite coat—box_cleanslate, doesn’t fit onto your latest body (D7), at last I decided to adopt WordPress instead.
I could have kept dating your last incarnation (D6) indefinitely, but sooner or later one will be forced to get with the times, as there will be no doctor to take care of you when you’re sick.
This blog entry and the discussion that follows sum up rather nicely the differences between you and WordPress, and the considerations one should take when deciding which to use.
By the way, to save the time and effort migrating the old content into the new system, I just used wget and turned the old domain into a static website.
