Red and green wires wrapped around iron cores, I should have used this for Christmas.
Before and After
Retouching photo using Adobe Photoshop.
Taken using Canon EOS 60D
Aperture: f/5
Exposure: 1/3 seconds
ISO 3200
Lighting condition was poor, and I had to keep my hands steady.
First I adjusted the color and contrast. I soften the background and foreground, keeping the focus on Unicorn T. Kitten.

AirPort Utility: Create hidden network
We had a request from someone to stop AirPort Express broadcasting the SSID, for security purpose.
Hiding Wireless network SSID does not really enhance security.
Unfortunately, this tactic may lead to a false sense of security, as it only impedes casual wireless snooping, and does not stop a determined attack on the network.
There are numerous of tools that can scan any hidden SSID.
Just in case anyone still want to hide their AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme SSID:
In AirPort Utility, go to “Wireless” and click on “Wireless Options…”
Check the box for “Create hidden network”
January 2nd at an Apple Store
I went to an Apple Store earlier today, picking up an AirPort Express. The store was so crowded considering holiday season is over. The Apple Store still has the Express Holiday Checkout section and a lot of people coming in buying Apple products using Apple gift cards.
I walked in the Apple Store and headed straight to where the AirPort Express were. I use the Apple Store App on my iPhone and use the EasyPay. A minute later, I was walking out of the Apple Store without even have to interact with any Apple Store employees.
For some reasons I always thought that someone would tackle me as I was walking out with a product I just bought.
Guilty Until Proven Innocent
It was the first day of 2013, and I was having a relaxing day. The calm before the “going-back-to-work” day on Wednesday January 2nd, 2013. Sometimes in the afternoon, I was about to make a post on my personal blog, and I was greeted with a message.
iveryam.wordpress.com is no longer available.
This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service.
For more information and to contact us please read the message in your dashboard.
I was so confused.I questioned myself of what I had possibly done that caused the blog suspended. I reached out to WordPress.com support and so far I had not heard from them Granted it was only 6 hours prior to this post. Since it was a New Year’s Day, there might only be minimal support staff manning the station, I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. In the meantime, I was presumed guilty until proven innocent.
Back in August 2009, 37prime.wordpress.com was erroneously suspended for TOS violation. It took about 24 hours for WordPress.com staff to reinstate the blog.
Sunday August 16 2009, 37prime.wordpress.com was taken offline. This blog was apparently shutdown for Terms Of Service (TOS) violation. This blog was gone for about 24 hours, and thanks to Mark everything was straightened out. Mark assured me that there was some kind glitch that took this blog down.
I am not aware of anything I did that violate WordPress.com TOS. There is no intent and there are no pattern that I was willfully violate WordPress.com TOS.
What an irony, since I’ve gotten a thank you email from Matt Mullenweg for helping cleaning up spam on WordPress.com on December 31st, 2012. Hours later, iveryam.wordpress.com was suspended.
