What goes around comes around – Comp down again

The week started with my computer conking out on me again, exactly one year since I last changed the motherboard, it seemed that it went out again, this time with a blank system after it failed trying to recover the bios. Maybe I was too caught up with force booting the past month just to get work...

Post Swissotel Vertical Marathon 2006

Sunday was the 2006 Swissotel Vertical Marathon, an event which I would see myself participating almost annually since last year. Maybe because of the love & uniqueness of the sport, not to mention my kakis who always participate the event together. On top of the usual annual line up of cross-country, adventure races and marathons. I was...

Got Nintendo Wii?

For something new in gaming, thinking of buying a Nintendo Wii for a change, why? For starters, I usually don't console game & all I had previously was a NES, a SEGA Gamegear & Gameboy SP. Therefore, I usually see my chances at modern console gaming at friend's houses or chalets. But not much of a problem...

4th SP E-learning Week, Indestructable Toyota Hilux

Sorry I've not been updating lately, its always the same reasons, work work and more work to the extent of destruction.

O2 XDA Zinc aka Asus Mars II

I think I found the phone I am finally looking for, the O2 XDA Zinc (aka Asus Mars II). Not a far cry as a downgrade from my current Dell Axim with a VGA (640x480 screen, 624Mhz Processor & 16MB Dedicated 3D accelerator). This one has all the stuffs I currently need without having to carry around...

Airport Security – Realistic?

Mmm, good thing an Air Terrorist plot had been foiled recently, but the air-travel industry did kinda shaken up over the past few days with increased security & inspections. Basic items like scissors, jackknifes all not allowed on board planes, even combustable laptop batteries are not permitted (thanks dell and sony) not sparing any macs either. At this...

School feels very slow on my side, but in the number of weeks of passed school terms, 4 terms had already passed with week 5 starting next.
