Streamyx sucks big time. I have a lot of problems accessing my blog from home. For some reason, most of the Internet is fine. I say most because there are a couple of other sites that I am having problems accessing. Unfortunately, these sites are also my favourite sites – such as Stack Overflow. The trouble [ READ MORE ]
While I think that there are valid reasons for not liking what Wong Chin Huat did, I think that our police needs to learn some lessons in public relations. The police have been so heavy handed for so long that they don’t seem to know how to act with an even hand. I would think that [ READ MORE ]
This is how it finally turned out – my server rack within a shoe rack. It is not much to look at, nor does it claim to be the greatest server rack in the world, but it is the nicest server rack that I have at home. The rack itself is made from a re-purposed shoe [ READ MORE ]
Well, at least that’s what it says on the label – Full HD 1080p. The price of these screens are coming down. In fact, they may be cheaper than some 720p screens. While there are many old 32″ 720p screens selling for under RM2k, newer ones are selling for more than RM2k. I saw a 32LG53FR [ READ MORE ]
What can I say about this film. It has far exceeded my expectations. I had only bought it because there wasn’t much else left for me to buy. I have purchased a large number of Korean films from the local inventory. Since this film was relatively cheap, I thought that I would give it a [ READ MORE ]
In a recent blog entry on Education Malaysia, Ong Kian Ming mentioned setting up a neighbourhood network (NN) so that kids would be able to play multi-player computer games at home and they would not need to hike off to the seedy cyber-cafes (CC) for their regular fix of group fun. However, it dawned on [ READ MORE ]
This is another example of my engineer-ness. I was thinking about adding a computer to my car, what is known as a CarPC. Such a computer is typically used to provide music and videos for entertainment (it could also possibly be used to build a mobile WiFi hotspot if configured correctly). Anyway, I was thinking about [ READ MORE ]
The more I consider it, the less likely it is that I will ever buy myself a NetBook PC. A NetBook PC is basically a stripped down laptop that usually weighs less than 1kg and comes with a 10″ screen or so – basically a small and light laptop that you can carry around in [ READ MORE ]
I have recently just made a family wide wipe out of Windows. My sister’s home computer recently got infected with a virus (all it took was a simple connection to the Internet) and I was tasked to fix it. My mom complained that she did not have enough games to play on the same computer. [ READ MORE ]
I passed by Harvey Norman today and decided to drop in to look at the new Compaq Nettop. Let me just say that I am quite taken in by the price of the thing. It is much cheaper than I had expected. Internet reports claim that the price of the high end model (2030) is [ READ MORE ]
