Rainy rainy rainy

It had been raining since I woke up this morning. Haiz cannot go for my usual sunday swim laps, nor even go for my contingency exercise plan to run in the evening. Looks like there's no sign of it stopping either. On a side note, heard from an "undisclosed source" that COE for cars will be abolished sometime this year!...

Dell PDA exchange

It came first as a call to dell yesterday morning as I got too fed up with the online technical support getting me nowhere, except the default answers like "please upgrade your operating ROM to the latest version & try again, thank you". After getting through like 5 layers of call menus & such, I finally managed to SPEAK...

Tablet Research

Ahh Notebook research.. Been doing alot about it over the last month or so, though I always hate surfing & drooling over items which ultimately... I COULDN'T even afford in the first place. You know its something like Pictures---> wooo! *scroll**scroll* Specifications ---> wahh! *scroll**scroll* ---> Price: DANG! Its the love for technology I guess *grins* which always keeps me glued...

Workstation MIA

Yea, you guessed that right, my personal workstation blew up today. Duh! & here I am posting for the 1st time on my family living room computer.... 🙄 My system had been acting up the past few days, restarting randomly at first, I needed to get work done but heck how can I work on a system which restarts itself...

Funny Nintendo Revolution Advert

Yea we all know that Sony's out with their PS3 next year, answering that too will be Microsoft's Xbox360, both spotting wireless controllers, new processors, engine & such. But I guess nothing much can offer the interactivity the Nintendo Revolution offers. In place of the all standard game controller is a rather unique "TV remote" styled controller where on-screen-controls...

Comex 2005

As usual, I am a living proof & verification of Murphy's Law, as typical example today when you are in a rush to meet somebody, traffic jams appear & all traffic lights will turn red when you approach them, DANG late again... Anyway, met up with Lishen & her colleague Danny at Suntec's Macdonalds in the afternoon today to...

Line to the power – 1.5Mps ADSL!

Since the activation of my 1.5Mps ADSL line on wednesday, (haha yea not the fastest in the world though...) Got my free Homeportal1800HG gateway modem installed & a 40GB pocket harddisk from my ISP through the mail on Friday. Previously, I was paying like $58/mth on 512kps on like a expired contract which no longer exists (duh). The newer...

Its ALIVE! & oh yea, its sunday too…

Though this happened early this week, I guess I would put it down here anyway. If you remembered my previous post of the rather laughingly funny experience of me accidentally drowning my v3 bluetooth headset, (by forgetting to take it out in the wash). I have some rather interesting yet scary news as an update. Yes it was confirmed...

Motorola HT820 Bluetooth A2DP AV stereo headphones review

Review of Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset/HeadphoneIntroduction I guess the main reason why people are pulling back on BT headphones currently are compatiblity problems & price. Personally I brought this headphone because of its build & looks, not to mention at a bargain price too. The decision is very much uncharted as theres no searchable review of this on the...

Dumb fun with kodak photo kiosk

Well, this is so funny I guess I have to get it down here & share it with you guys. I was on my usual shopping trips around orchard when I came across this Kodak instant digital print station at the Paragon basement just outside the supermarket. & man its loaded with card readers, wireless & infra-red, it literally...

Drowned V3 bluetooth headset

I was wondering where was my bluetooth headset the past few days. Till mum approached me today morning during breakfast saying, "Shaun I found this in the laundry, its in the pants you wore early this week" & there she passed me my V3 bluetooth headset, though still in one piece, its just as good a an extra...

Review of budget x50v VGA out cable from PC-mobile

As we all know, one of the main features the x50v has is the ability to output video (or mirror) its display onto computer monitors or projectors. Perfect for students like me offering presentations at school or projects. However, that's one of the main problems we dell consumers outside USA face- lack of accessory variety. Living in Singapore, literally...

PC Show 2005

Initially I intended to drop by the expo tomorrow, but since we were free after the movie Madagascar why not give the place a visit today instead. Met Mark there, who brought a new Dell laptop. Dom wanted to get one, but we turned down dell after a shocking exit (literally) one of the display 6000 series laptops shorted...

IT show 2005

Dropped by the IT show at suntec yesterday & man was it FREAKING crowded. 1st time the shopping area got so packed, there was a stationary human jam lasting 5-10mins at times around the Yes! Eyewear store area leading to the exhitbition & convention center. Link upped with John at the sony booth there where we started inching our...

Singnet boardband 256kps unlimited is now 512kps?

Hey if you are a previous singnet boardband 256kps user, you may notice download speeds going up to 50-60KB/s from 20-30KB/s. Possibly a typical computer reporting error? I don't think so, especially with my downloads getting relatively faster. Not to mention surfing speeds. Strangely though this is not reflected to the public or so, as singtel always try to...

Completed Half-Life 2

Ahha, the skill of juggling 3 games & trying to complete them has shown its power! (or so). Finally managed to find the time to eventually finish HL2 & experience its so sucky ending for myself! yea! Not to complete tribes vengence & HFS underground 2!

OMG the power of piak piak

Enjoyed a leisure game of counter-strike source last week & man do online play do seem rather "uncompetitive" these days. Namely because of some overly powerful gun or superpower entities. For the eye candy here I am to share some of the rather interesting experiences, such as the invincible cupboards in de_prodigy & the power of the semi-auto sniper...

😀 Came back today anticipating a good deal from dell & yes finally a dell axim x50v deal less than $800, infact $681. They are having 25% off PDAs, far much better than last month's deals (which I had been following up), offering a free 5-in-1 deal: 1100mah spare battery, screen protector sheets (non-lasting types) , free delivery, 64mb...

Digital Cable

💡 The cable guy came by to install the new digital set-top box this evening as my sis wanted some new additional animax cable channel, only supported by digital cable. So starhub offered to swap our old cable box for a digital one. Spotting a contemporary silver/black look in place of our old cable set top box, which had...

So much for the friday, well better than nothing!

💡 Ok, PC game check with nitro family aside, the games I have left to complete are need for speed: underground I (80% complete) & II (10% complete). The thing now I better complete those games I've brought, so ah games won't be so much of such a "collector's toy" for me but some serious play toy, maybe to...
