Hystou Fanless intel Mini PC review and benchmarks (Intel Broadwell i3-5010U)

Hystou PCs is not really a brand most people are familiar with. They are an original equipment manufacturer and international distributor based in Shenzhen, China offering really good value-for-money barebone (no ram and disks) mini-PCs selling their products through Alibaba, Ebay and their website. I had never bought from them before, but Chinese electronics, especially those from Shenzhen have...

Huawei Android Wear Smart Watch in Singapore

The Huawei watch will be sold in Singapore, that is the latest release I was informed by Huawei Singapore last month. The watch is possibly the best-looking Android wear watch you can buy today, even surpassing the likes of the LG Urbane and Moto 360 2nd Gen. Huawei has invited me to have a try out of their watches,...

How to schedule less than daily (Weekly, monthly) Windows Server Backups in Task Scheduler

One of the frustrating things about Window server backup is the inflexibility and inability to specify a backup frequency other than daily backups and nothing less than once a day. Especially if you are coming from a Linux cron-job background, it simply just frustrates power users on the inability to even customise even basic backup frequency to your needs....

Singapore-based virtualised private server space available!

Available Singapore virtualised server space for rent! I’ve improving my virtualisation techniques lately and I am glad to say that I’ve created much free capacities on my servers from these optimisations. As such I will be opening up a few limited virtualised and dedicated slots on my cluster. If you are looking for dedicated developmental server space in Singapore, or simply...

Fixing infinite boot loop between Windows 8 boot loader and GRUB

Going in addition to my previous blog post of installing and running Android 4.0 (Ice cream sandwich) on your x86 based system. I encountered an interesting infinite boot loader loop problem evident only if you install your Linux distribution (and GRUB) on top of a Windows 8 system using the new Windows 8 radical boot loader. This problem could...

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) on PC (x86)

The idea of Windows 8 running on ARM based tablets is unreal, but the idea of running Android on x86 based PCs is even cooler. Knowing the crazed Android platform developer and supporter I am, what's the least I can do than to get it running on my x86-based tablet PC? You can start off by grabbing the Android x86...

Windows 8 test drive on consumer preview build

When the Metro interface was first announced for Windows 8, I had the humorous impression of it being Windows Phone for PC. We've seen the Metro interface already being implemented on the Xbox and the Windows Phone platform, knowing Microsoft's enthusiasm on this rather unique interface, it will be only a matter of time before it finds it's way...

Word random crash on Windows 7 Ultimate and Office 2007

I came across this problem when doing some word processing on my new installation of Office 2007 on Windows 7. If you are running the final release build of Windows 7 (build 7600) and Office 2007, you may have this problem of being unable to use your mouse to click on text or click-drag the right scroll bar. Closing...

Gearing up for the “all powerful” Alienware M17x

With my university term starting in October, it's very much shopping time to get the gears and stuffs in preparations for my departure. Shopping is good therapy, well, not until you see the bill! The choice of my desired system was much of a personal debated topic as well. The story started with this quad core desktop which I...

Integrate and wrapping WordPress 2.8 functions with Gallery2 (with conditional CSS)

Following the upgrade of the site, I've successfully integrated gallery2 with wordpress 2.8, able to call wordpress functions within gallery itself and maintain your wordpress sidebar. This was not previously achievable with gallery1 considering that some wordpress and gallery share some variables which needs to be redefined to avoid conflict, with this new setup I am glad to say...

Launch of Dell Swarm

Due to be launched on the 5th of May and the first of it's kind in the world, Dell Swarm by Intel and Dell is an online ordering portal targeted at students and value hunters alike. So it works like a mass order system we usually see taking "lobangs", only that this time, you are dealing the lobang directly...

Followup of the hacking situation

Am updating all scripts on my servers as I type along in this blog post, there is quite much updating to go, I guess I just sneak an update here. After much investigation of the previous hacking attempt in my last blog post, it seems that the DoS problem narrows down to a vulnerability in the roundcube webmail program,...

ShaunChng.com servers hacked

Sorry for the 1 hour downtime last night from 12:30am to about 1:30am (Singapore time). The site is up and functional now. I jumped when I got a downtime message from my servers, strange, the server can be reached and pinged, so not a hardware or network problem, but my website cannot be reached. A short search later led...

Singnet users, watch out for email account upgrade phishing email from “helpdesk@singnet.com.sg”

Received an unexpected email from "Singnet" Today, apparently without a doubt (even without the obvious spelling errors), though this E-mail is obviously a hoax, I do not know how many people are fooled into thinking it is genuine. It reads: ATTENTION, This mail is to inform all our Signet Webmail users that we will be upgrading our webmail site date.Subscribers of...

Mind your own problems… and modem – Singnet

One problem, one too many, I am quite fad up with an incident trying get my modem repaired today but never got anything done at all. It have to be like that, the day where I have to submit my UCAS application online, the day just after the Comex IT show, my DSL modem just went poof. After further...

Comex 2008, Part II

Was at the Comex Show again tonight after the Nike Human Race. Some of my running kakis wanted to go check out the show after dinner around the area. There were few rather cool last minute deals includes bluetooth headsets going for $29 with 1-1 exchange. Display set cameras at 40% off retail prices as well as laptops slashed...

Comex 2008

Was around comex on Friday mid-afternoon. I think visiting during office hours may be the best time to check out the deals, especially before the weekend rush. Technically, we can say that is the last of the IT shows we can expect this year, with PC and the IT show 2008 over for this year already. The place was...

Excellent Dell Service

Ordered a new server today from Dell. I will give the wait for the upcoming PC show a miss for servers as only consumer products will only be on sale at the coming exhibition later this month. Nevertheless, having said that, what I can say besides putting up with the hassles of automated telephony, Dell always never fail to...

New ISP phishing email (as Singnet) on the books

As part of my usual updates and sharing of Phishing emails I receive in my junk folder in addition to my previous entry on phishing. Here is an interesting new find I got recently, so as claimed by Singnet themselves. This email is smart by using your email's domain and top level domain (usually in the format domain.tld) and verifies...
