I’ve started what I consider to be a “phased-redesign”. I know that’s typically not the best way to re-design a site, but there were some things I just couldn’t wait to change. I have a long way to go, but it’ll be well worth it. In the meantime, however, everything will remain fully-functional, and I will continue to write posts. The reason for the re-design is really two-fold. (A) I want to create the capacity for growth. That won’t mean major changes, because my theme was solid, but it’ll require tweaks here and there. (B) I’m a designing fool, and constantly re-design my sites because I like the change...

It was not too long ago that Dental Heroes was a small side project of mine - slowly dying due to neglect. However, a burst of inspiration revived Dental Heroes, and turned what was a passing thought into a vision for the future. As readership has grown over the past several months, I’ve discovered that a significant number of visitors are interested in engaging with Dental Heroes on a regular basis, but simply aren’t aware of all the ways they can do this. Hopefully, this post will help those of you who would like to contribute to the Dental Heroes Community, but just don’t know how.

You can now see the Recent comments in the right side bar are now more organised and makes for better reading. I’ll probably upgrade to Wordpress 2.6 over the next couple of weeks when I find the time. I managed to do so for The Palmdoc Chronicles and find that the latest version has considerable advantages over the older one I am using (2.3). In fact “automatic” plug-in download and updating is a fantastic time-saver!

My parents are both retired, in their mid-fifties, and do not have dental insurance. Prior to retirement, both had excellent dental insurance benefits. However, they feel at this point that their current dental care needs do not justify the expense associated with paying for dental insurance. While there are certainly differing opinions about what is in their best interests, I tend to think that since they can afford it, dental insurance is an intelligent decision. Why? Well, at their age, or any age for that matter, it’s a good idea to prepare for the unexpected. Unfortunately, being caught unprepared for a dental emergenc...

Out of 21 responses(hey, we’re new), 13 people said “no” they don’t floss everyday. That means, you guessed it, 8 people said “yes” they do floss everyday. Of course the sample size was much too small to serve as an accurate predictor of a trend, I can only go by the numbers seen in the Dental Heroes poll. As such, it appears as though flossing is not popular among my readers. I Hate Flossing It’s OK. I hate flossing too. In fact, I don’t floss. That’s right, I don’t floss.

In fact Streamyx the past one week has been pretty flaky and access to various sites has been either slow or impossible. I think Streamyx once again has messed up something on their end and cannot route http requests correctly. One quick fix is to use a proxy, i.e. you surf to the website you want via another gateway. There are various open proxies available but the easiest is to use portals like HideMyAss. Just enter forum.malaysianmedicine.com in the box and click on the HideMyAss button and you should be able to surf to the MMR forums.

I've had immigration hassles (done with, I hope), health problems (fixed, I think) and I'm waaaaaaaaaayyyyy behind at work. I need a couple months' absolute tunnel vision: publish or perish, publish or perish, publish or perish. So, no blogging for me, and I won't be reading much except research papers either. I'll copy all my science/OA RSS feeds to Google Reader (which unlike Bloglines doesn't stop caching at 200) and try to catch up on the backlog over whatever Christmas break I get.
