As I promised before, I visited Suntec City last Tuesday. I went to Carrefour to visit Wiener Kaffehaus.

So I was standing in front of Wiener Kaffehaus and looking at the pricelist. After slowly skimming through the list of coffee prices, I finally found Kopi Luwak. It listed there that 1 cup for SGD 25, and 100 gr for SGD 62. Jangkrik, I knew Kopi Luwak is expensive, but somehow I feel that $25 for a cup of coffee is too much. My coffee cheapo economical mentality is very likely originated from something that my friend who has recently visited Bali said. He told us that bought one cup of Kopi Luwak in Bali for a mere IDR 30000 (less than SGD 5). That’s damn cheap!

I think I’ll just wait for my upcoming Bali trip.

*)Jangkrik is the Indonesian word for cricket. It was absorbed from the Javanese language. It is also a very mild swore word and mainly used by East Java people. The Australians however, copied it and change it to Crickey….. 🙂

I was doing some small modification to Trainque’s Twitter Badge when I encounter this error message in Firebug:

Apparently this is a limit for API invocation. Does this mean if a website with twitter badge is visited by more than 100 people per hour, only the first 100 people will see the twitter badge content? After reading this documentation, I finally understand the meaning of this limitation. It means that an IP address cannot request more than 100 API requests per hour. Other way of saying this is, if you keep on refreshing this page for 100 times within 1 hour, you will not be able to see the Twitter Badge content on your 101st refresh. You need to wait until the next hour before you able to see the Twitter Badge Content.

I need to have a good regex for URL validation in javascript. After googling a number of websites, blogs and forums. The best I found is this blog post by Ivan Porto Carrero

I modified it a bit to make it valid in Javascript as shown below:

twitTxt = twitTxt.replace(/((ht|f)tp(s?)\:\/\/|~\/|\/)?(\w+:\w+@)?(([-\w]+\.)+(com|org|net|gov|mil|biz|info|mobi|name|aero|jobs|museum|travel|[a-z]{2}))(:[\d]{1,5})?(((\/([-\w~!$+|.,=]|%[a-f\d]{2})+)+|\/)+|\?|#)?((\?([-\w~!$+|.,*:]|%[a-f\d{2}])+=([-\w~!$+|.,*:=]|%[a-f\d]{2})*)(&([-\w~!$+|.,*:]|%[a-f\d{2}])+=([-\w~!$+|.,*:=]|%[a-f\d]{2})*)*)*(#([-\w~!$+|.,*:=]|%[a-f\d]{2})*)?/, twitRegexCallback);

If you like it, a link back/comments would be much much appreciated 🙂
