*yay* Benet finally gives into peer pressure… haha…

Got my iPhone 3G (16GB) today and all is good! ^^ Now I have things to play with during my summer break. Plus, just found out that PwnageTool can now work with with the latest iPhone firmware 2.0.1.

Gonna try it out when I have time to kill next week.

Hi guys… It’s been a long time since I last wrote anything. Not that there’s nothing interesting to blog about, but just that I’m lazy to write about it… haha…

So, over the past month lots have happened… I was back for a short holiday in KL and it was GREAT FUN! Manage to meet up with some new friends, catch up with some old friends, took my parents for a short trip to Penang and ultimately missing my flight back to Tokyo! ahh~~… That’s one ordeal that I really don’t wanna go through again.

Thankfully, it all kinda worked out in the end and I even has a short trip to Macau and get to go for a quick visit in The Venetian. Great fun indeed! ^^

Apart from that, it’s summer here in Tokyo and besides the blistering hot weather - I manage to catch the famous Sumida River Fireworks Festival 2 weeks back. There was so many ppl and although I was there like an hour and a half before the event actually start - I was late and only managed to get some side view of the fireworks. Nonetheless, I love festivals here in Japan cause it’s always packed with ppl and the festive mood is great with everyone having fun and all.

On a separate note… I think I’ll be doing a lot less blogging from now on; as the title suggests … this blog is currently in the midst of a transition. I’m working on a way to archive my current blog entries so that it’ll still remain as it is but I’ll probably put up a more static frontpage with just a feed to my Twitter which I updates more regularly as well as perhaps using Tumblr for other interesting posts.

So.. this ‘might’ be the very last post but it’ll just mark the birth of a new version of benetleong.com (one that requires less updates) hahaha..

Till then… take care! Cheers~

Ahh~ this tune is stuck in my head again and again…

If you’re currently using the spanking new Mozilla Firefox 3, you might notice that when visiting some secure websites - you’ll now get some new error messages that might seem foreign to you.

First of all, this is due to Mozilla’s new implementation of security measures which is a good thing. The Internet is not safe with so many phishing website running rampant and this will help alert the users better.

Some of the more common SSL errors that you’ll encounter are probably;

• ssl_error_bad_cert_domain - which happens when the SSL certificate is registered for a specific domain name but is used for others (shared hosting and such usually falls into this category).
• sec_error_untrusted_issuer / sec_error_ca_cert_invalid - usually happens when the certificate is self-signed.

There’s a whole lot of others SSL errors that Firefox 3 will alert you on and you can refer to them here.

Some of the errors are quite harmless and thus to bypass, one easy solution is to add an exception in Firefox 3. NOTE: Only add an exception if you’re really sure that the site you’re visiting is the actual site you want. Please review the errors properly before adding an exception.

Now, to add an exception - using Meebo.com as an example
(which is a great and safe site btw ) ;

1. Click on the “Or you can add an exception…” link at the bottom of the notice.


2. Click on the “Add an exception” button and a new prompt will appear.


3. Click on the “Get certificate” button, review the certificate if you want and to proceed - click on “Confirm security exception”.

There… you’ve now added an exception and you should be able to access the secure site now.

Cheers~

Hell yeah~ Apple has delivered again!!! iPhone 3G with GPS built-in and although rumored to be thicker; it is now even thinner! ^^ (one of the main reasons I stuck with an iPod Touch is cause I love the size of it).

Hmmm … can seriously consider upgrading now… hahaha… Hope that the pricing will be similar to what is being announced in US cause that’ll be brilliant!!! w00t!!!
