Hard to change, but necessary...

It's been about a week since I posted anything here on my website. So I guess I might as well post something and regarding some changes to my blog. 

First up, I added another tab (it is password protected). I will use that to log some of the more personal events that are non related to the main blog or the technology blog. It is good to blog often, and research shows that it improves memory! :D

I'm trying to change myself to be more efficient at things. I really wasn't efficient in managing time at all. I was getting very little to no sleep at night most of the time. It is either I took a nap really late that made me unable to sleep when it is time to sleep, or I'm just too busy with my own things. 

Of course, change comes with a cost and I'm sure some people will know exactly what I'm talking about :)

I have two applications that you might want to take a look.

First, Tweetbot 3 for Twitter (iPhone and iPod)
