Lotsa crap worth noting…

In am in the mood for a long entry, hey so what word processors and spellcheck for right? they just invite you to spew out "text" so easily... This is gonna be quite a long entry, mind my blabbering... And so there was me, pretty much cracked yesterday whether onto getting the Garmin 12XL GPS ($330 ouch!) to "illegally aid"...

Its sunday, lets talk bout saturday

Didn't find time to get to Bukit Batok driving center yesterday, as book-out was quite late in the afternoon. Its time to get my fitness back up again last week with two 4km runs within 22 mins and 20mins respectively, not bad considering I had not trained for 1-month+ Home time is net time as usual. Did some regular catching...

@^#*# Input devices!

Played some CS on Xpcases.com servers and a little warcraft 3 in the morning. After some experimenting here and there, I found out given the different playings styles available, the agreesive, "rush first" tact will tend to get you the most frags, but too with a high death rate, but you can easily take out 2-3 guys off in...

Ekk! Nokia again?

It had been sometime since I've used a dinky Nokia phone, (considering that my 1st two cellphones were Nokias, 880 and 3210). I had been a happy Siemens user since, always anxiously hoping (and waiting) for the release of the SX1 smartphone. But Siemens is very good at keeping their customers waiting- far better than I've ever expected, since...

Modem down

The reason of my last 3 days ++ of inactiivty is largely, or should I say only caused by a dumb ethernet modem who probably got its ethernet ports fried on 12/7 usage for almost 365 days. So I may say, whats the use of a modem having its sys diagnotics and DSL connected lights on readily when it...

Slacker’s sunday

Nothing much happened today this sunday, but managed to get my old stinking canoscan FB310 scanner to work with windows XP, after some Bios and driver tweaks, off in a gif. Software incompatitblity? no such thing in my way dude... I dun need to depend so much on my other windows 95 system to scan images. So with that...

Windows Longhorn “Aero” Gallery

Some shots and dots of the upcoming successor of windows xp, the Windows Longhorn "Aero" design. When the Windows XP "Luna" user interface was revealed in February 2001, the Windows User Experience team took great pleasure when they verified that I had never seen a leaked copy of the UI before the official unveiling. I decided, at that moment, that...

Warcraft 3

Finally managed to find some time to play Warcraft 3: Frozen Trone up to the 6th mission this morning and to update this blog too. So much time spent away from my computer and things start to get fragmented and messed up from everyday family use (and yea, do I have to be the computer admin in my family...

Siemens SX1

And now a phone to end my search, and too, a potential succesor of my old Siemens SL45i Mp3 phone, the SX1. Expected to be released in Aug this year, its one phone I would drool for, (though expecting a high price for it) being a Siemens fan myself (*gone are nokia phones man!*) This one is as small as...

CSv1.6

Tried out Valves' Steam 2.0 program today (after an unsuccessful try few months ago), and what else can you do with Steam but to try out CSv1.6 with it? Heh.. after a few rounds of test-fraggin online, its not bad I say... esp the new guns, ricochet sounds, game physics and game interface. But overall, the game still feels...

Queued for some one hour plus (can't believe I actually did that). Sad to say, everything just kinda sold(ed)-out, darnnn.. so more or less, went back empty...

Phone Firmware upgrade

Watched "Finding Nemo" today at GV marina with my NS friends and our happy ORDing Platoon Sgt. Went to Breeks buffet dinner thereafter after window shopping around the marina-suntec area. Finding Nemo turned out nicer than I expected it to be, and I can say its quite worth every of my $6.50 spent, and yea I kinda like the...

Phone Modification

BMT has ended, so its more shopping, shopping, outings and it again... Watched Bruce Almighty on friday afternoon with my NS friends @ GV marina, then went to the PCshow 2003 in the evening. There is nothing new in this year's PCshow, always the same old booths and companys, maybe the only new intro is dell computers setting up...

New Camera

Dropped by Orchard today... again! this time quite late after dinner to purchase a new Nikon 35mm film camera, all in time for next week's Passing Out Parade (POP).
