I’ve tried to Singapore and Australia numbers, they all work like a charm. The voice quality is quite alrite too but can’t talk in unison. When I try myanmar number, I got this reply.
Sorry, We intentionally block calls to this country.
It’ll be abit nicer if the message goes like “Sorry, we don’t provide service to this country” or something like that but they use that “intentionally block” phrase. Man, that was just so mean.
I haven’t tested for Fiji numbers as I can do local calls easily but I’m sure it works fine. Oh when you register, don’t enter the last text-box ie. Enter your phone number, otherwise you cannot click on “register” button. Only when you remove it, the button becomes active. Anyways it’s pretty good if you wanna test calls to friends overseas. Enjoy calling. Call me too?

Lately you see lots of snap preview popups on websites mainly on wordpress.com sites and getting really annoyed with it. It blocks the link view and somewhat messy when you got numerous close links. I guess snap is good for portfolio kind of websites and shouldn’t apply it to all the links on your site but to only particular section. Anyway now you can disable snap by a click of a mouse.

So they found some bugs in 2.0.6 and releasing a new version before they go into 2.1 at end of this month. Only a few files to upgrade though.
Recently a bug in certain versions of PHP came to our attention that could cause a security vulnerability in your blog. We’re able to work around it fairly easily, so we’ve decided to release 2.0.7 to fix the PHP security problem and the Feedburner issue that was in 2.0.6.
Here is the list of files that have changed since 2.0.6:
- wp-admin/inline-uploading.php
- wp-admin/post.php
- wp-includes/classes.php
- wp-includes/functions.php
- wp-settings.php
- wp-includes/version.php
Download here. Toooo many upgrades…..a hint..

Another wordpress update is out and about – WordPress 2.0.6, seems like this is the last release before WP goes into 2.1 beta stage.
This is the latest release in our stable 2.0 line, which we’ve committed to maintaining for several more years.
Here’s what’s new:
- The aforementioned security fixes.
- HTML quicktags now work in Safari browsers.
- Comments are filtered to prevent them from messing up your blog layout.
- Compatibility with PHP/FastCGI setups.
For developers, there’s a new anti-XSS function called attribute_escape(), and a new filter called “query” which allows you filter any SQL at runtime.
Right, so gotta upgrade it this weekend. Just a note for you guys anyways.

Hey don’t get confused. I’m getting lots of misunderstandings these days.
You see, May != Mayvelous.
Me = May Hnin Phyu
Myself = About May
Mayvelous = May’s website
So…my name is not May Velous. It’s May Hnin Phyu. My website name is Mayvelous. Ahcha?
