I will be roughly 4 weeks until I head to Hong Kong for a month. A month! I have never stayed for that long and I’m excited, .it will be a new experience for me. I think the longest I have stayed for is just over two weeks, and in that time space it feels as though my family and I are rushing around, pressed for time: visiting friends and family, getting over jet lag, cleaning the flat – we only go back once every three years – and prayer to ancestors.

Hopefully before the day my Cantonese will have improved vastly. If only Hakka wasn’t a dying language…

Off topic: but I have a Cantonese app and I wonder why 60% of the categories are to do with flirting. Not that I’m the master of picking men up but I’m sure the provided pick-up lines won’t be taken the way the app creator intended, heh. Admittedly though, they are pretty funny…just as long as you read the Chinese because the English translation is off.

Anyway, back on subject. I’m excited at the prospect of going to the Hong Kong International Jewellery Manufacturers’ Show. It will be my first time so hopefully my Chinese won’t get laughed at too much and I’ll leave with useful contacts. The only thing I won’t be looking forward to is the journey. I still haven’t “grown out of” travel sickness.

Does anyway have any suggestions of where I could go or what?could do? I know technically I’m the Hong Kong citizen but I only ever visit Sha Tin, Tai Po and TTS (I think that’s the acronym).

I was going to title this “Bug-ger” but recently I realised that it doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone so thought otherwise.  Anyway…

Two problems occured with my portfolio website.  This was a while back and I was modifying my template.  Everything was sorted but the next time I go onto WordPress to activate the template I notice a bar of unwanted padding on the top.  Not only that put modifying the settings to my gallery seemed to have messed up the quality of my images (they were reduced from the original size).

For weeks, on and off, I had been trying to fix/counter attack the padding issue, thinking it was something to do with my CSS.  Nothing.  Today I looked at the source code from a visitor’s point of view…low and behold:

html { margin-top: 28px !important; }
* html body { margin-top: 28px !important; }

I didn’t have the foggiest at to where this coding came from but it certainly wasn’t from me.  I checked my plugins individually to see if that was the problem but it wasn’t.  Then I “Google-d” the code and finally find that it’s a bug in WordPress.  At first I tried modifying the CSS with the suggested code:

#wp-admin-bar-comments {display:none;}
#wp-admin-bar-appearance {display:none;}

…nothing came of it.  It then came to my attention that it’s a bug in WordPress.  The visitors of my website don’t see any top padding, just me through the admin panel.  Now, I feel stupid – trying to fix a padding problem, which isn’t even there. XD  Oh well, I’m in the process of getting a more simplistic template up.

My next ponder is what gallery to use.  Any suggestions?
