Happy Chinese New Year one and all! Many of you here may not know this, but the Chinese people follow the lunar calendar, and they celebrate this new year - the year of the Tiger - on the 14th of January. Although we do not follow the lunar calendar here in Singapore, the Chinese New Year is still one of our biggest holidays, filled with festivities and fun!

The latest JomSocial version (1.6) has just been released! Codenamed "Brillo", it is major upgrade from the previous 1.5. If you were impressed by the jump from JomSocial version 1.2 to 1.5, be prepared to be blown away by 1.6!

More information and screenshots after the break.

Came across this tweet from @albertlo today:

My interest piqued, I took a look at both Albert Lo's and the offender's sites:

Albert's website

Offender's website (no free linkback! The URL's in the tweet screenshot above)

This is so outrageous, it's maddening! It's been more than 2 days, and still nothing's done. Such behaviors have no place in real world business/commerce, so why is it so rampant on the internet? I urge anyone who is concerned to contact the offender's registrar and host and get them to do a force takedown until the issue has been rectified. More information about the offending site can be found here.

My heart goes out to Albert. What a way to start the year.

This is probably interesting to some:
