sweetcron is finally here

By Pat Law™ • Aug 29th, 2008 • Category: The Geek

God knows how long I’ve waiting for this. Originally scheduled for launch in June 2008, Sweetcron has finally arrived this morning (I’m assuming so, from Yongfook’s Facebook and Twitter updates).

Lifestream blogs aren’t new, but here’s why I adore Sweetcron:

  • 100% open source. Which means fellow geeks can write their own php classes to extend the software, and fellow half-geeks like me have a greater variety of plugins to utilise from.
  • Customizable. Good taste not provided, but you may edit the template anyway you want, unlike FriendFeed. Of course, I assume you have basic CSS-editing skills (no darling, Microsoft Frontpage does not count).
  • Self-hosted. In the same way that WordPress is, Sweetcron can be hosted on your own server. Vainpots like me who appreciate a self-coined domain name, implementation of Google Analytics and yadayadayada LOVE THIS.
  • Created by a half-Singaporean, Yongfook. As narcissistic as he is, he has the geeky goods to back it up (unlike, you know, those two female bloggers). Gotta be proud of this chicken-rice loving half-Singaporean.

Sign up to download Sweetcron here (I could drop you the download link, but let’s just help the guy build his database). Check out this video too. Comes with free background music made by Yongfook himself. Hah.

I can’t wait to get started this weekend. Yayyyyyyyyyyy.

    yongfook,

    Not only do you have to grow bigger breasts, I think you need hair extensions, manicured nails, and hey, that iPhone 3G has got to go. I don’t think you need your nose fixed though. Ah, the luxury of being a half ang moh.

    Well done with Sweetcron, mate.

Say something.
