iPhone 3G is coming to Singapore.

22nd August’s the date. 12:01am’s the time. So make sure you’re there ( Singtel stores )to pick yours up.

Singtel will be carrying the phone. The price plans have also been published. For lower plans you’ll have to pay for the phone but for those on premium plans the iPhone 3G will be free.

Was thinking of getting myself an iPhone 3G but the plan has since changed with HTC’s plans to release HTC Dream ( powered by Android ) in the coming months.

A friend needed help changing the system date on his Linux box today. This is usually a simple task for Linux users but newbies tend to get confused by the "date [-u|--utc|--universal] [MMDDhhmm[[CC]YY][.ss]]” line in the man page.

To simplify, this is how you do it.

Set the current date to April 7 2008 8:42:45pm.

The easy way,

#date -s "7 April 2008 20:42:45"

The harder way,

#date 040720422008.45

The break down: MM DD hh mm YYYY ss

MM = month = 04

DD = day = 07

hh = hour = 20

mm = minute = 42

YYYY = year = 2008

ss = second = 450
