Imagine I would have to bought all of them from App Store that would cost a bomb !

Ex-Phones

Going back through time as long as the gadgets are with me, I have owned few classical and special phones that are the top phones at the prime of their time.

Namely the Nokia 8850 , Sony Ericsson T630 and the Sony Ericsson k770i

These are the phones that I mentioned. Going through them one by one.

 The Nokia 8850. Overall view of it. I bought it back at December 2005 from a second hand phone dealer @ Prangin Mall at a price of RM200. 

Despite its rather scratched housing I think its quite a good deal. Its a good phone that does all the thing a phone should do. And with the sliding casing it just adds to the cool factor. 

There are several issues with the mic, with the slider closed the mic is able to function but when the slider is opened the mic went deaf, went for repair several times and they were unable to fix it. Total usage duration December 2005 to mid 2007.

Sony Ericsson T630. Bought it back at 2006 I think, also from a second hand phone dealer at a rather cheap price. This phone gives me my first exposure to bluetooth. Able to send media via bluetooth and also pairing with a bluetooth headset. Takes rather good photos too with its Sony camera.

Cool factor from the mirror at the back and also able to take photos by pressing the button on the side. Eventually it failed to start up even via cable charging. Abandoned it soon. 

Sony Ericsson k770i. The phone that I have used for the longest of time i think. Bought it from AP dealer at RM600 that comes with a 2GB memory card. It has the best camera among phones in its class. The rear camera slider is so cool.


With 3.2MP with autofocus, and marketed under Sony CyberShot, the photos were amazingly sharp. I'm able to take photos of the board in my lecture theater and after zooming in on my PC everything was so crystal clear.

Eventually the keypad goes berserk, becoming unresponsive and hard-to-press. Texting on the phone was a pain in the ass. Thumbs would become pain and grow numb. I just had to live with it for a few months before getting my iPhone 4.

My Wishlist ( Q1 2011 )

My wishlist currently,

 

Apple iPad 2 MC769LL/A Tablet (16GB, Wifi, Black) NEWEST MODEL

Not that greedy, just a base model 16GB Wifi White will do.

Apple MacBook Pro MC700LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop

The latest Core i5 Macbook Pro 13 inch. Still a little lacking in the resolution I would say.

Apple MacBook Air MC505LL/A 11.6-Inch Laptop

Either item 2 or Macbook Air 11 inch base model . :)

 

Intel X25M 80 GB Solid State Drive with Internal SATA and Power Cables SSDSA2MH080G2K5

Intel SSD for super fast boot times on MBP ! 

Will be updated from time to time.

Funny banner ads

I saw this at a popular forum in Malaysia , Lowyat.Net

Do you think I'm that lucky ? Are there any hidden conditions ? I didnt click it, as it will only waste a stroke of my mouse for clicking the close button for whatever pops out.

Apps for being fast

The Apple App Store is the most vibrant community for apps in the world. Lots of developers write apps for the iOS. New developers ocassionally give out free 'promo codes' to the general public , which can then be redeemed from the App Store. This generally gives the public a chance to play the app and provide an honest review.

Normally there are few channels that you can obtain a promo code. 

I got these apps from the twitter channel of the developers and also various tech magazines.

The codes are only a one-use code. So normally they would post the code out for the public and those early birds will get the codes. For a few months of trying to be fast, I got myself some of the codes.


Here are some of the links of the popular tech magazines and developer twitter channels.
Quantum Squid ( Veggie Samurai )
Halfbrick ( Fruit Ninja )
Rovio ( Angry Birds )
Infinity Blade

Below are the apps for being fast.

  

All of these i got them for free ! Some of them are fun. Some of them are just plain boring. While some of them I never tried.

Accident

I had a very bad week.


First , on Monday , I banged someone else's car. It was just a minor "kiss" I would say. Its a bad luck that his car was a Proton. I never believed how "milo tin" our national cars are until today. Mine was also a Proton Wira , 1.5 AT, famous for low power , low pickup and no speed. My leg wasnt on the pedal, just the D gear and such a glide-kiss would dent his bumper. 


We both stopped at the roadside. Okay he looked like a nice guy, we went down to check his cars. Actually, we both didnt know what to do and being at rush hour around 6oc I decided to exchange phones and we can discuss later while we go back, rather than causing the massive jam. So halfway back, I called him and planned to ask him to come over to the workshop where i repair my car dents after i arranged an appointment. He said okay. 


The next day , i forgot about it. And he called saying why not he take to his workshop and check with me the price if its okay then he'll proceed to repair. I said okay too since its inconvenient for him to travel up to my place.


The next day he called back and informed me that the quotation he got is a whopping 380 while i expected to be around 100 because thats why i paid to knock my bumper back in shape. During lunch time i went over to find him @ Agilent to see whats costing so much ? 


So it was like this
His bumper internal frame was bent requiring repairs
The knocking of the dent
The spraying of the entire bumper


While cross checking with the price that I got from my workshop it was 70~80 for knocking the dent and 180 for spraying which totals up to 250.


I thought for a while. Well okay since i was the one at fault so I just agreed to fixing all that but asked him to negotiate for a lower price. He managed to get 350 while i was trying to have 340. He said he'll pay the RM10 himself. How nice ? 


On that day to pass him the money, he collected 250 only. He said he didnt want to replace the internal bumper frame and understands my situation as a fresh grad.


Well I paid less, but that left me thinking was he such a good person ? Or he had bad motives in the first place. Hmm..

Follow Up : I hope !!!!

Sort of a great news I received yesterday, 7th March 2011, 2 weeks after the interview. I heard that the manager has decided to hire me but they are in progress with the hiring but due to my nature as a contract worker, its a bit troublesome. 


I have been thinking, what if I didnt accept the contract offer ? Might it be easier.
If i didnt accept the contract offer. I never had the chance to learn perl, write a perl script, get in touch with the internal job fair. What a dilemma.


Haih..


Nevertheless, I still continue to hope for that long awaited phone call from them. I hope its tomorrow.

Tearing apart my Pentium 4 system

I have a pentium 4 system in my house, been here for about 6 years ! can you imagine that ! It even has a floppy drive. Well this system has been dormant all along only to be awaken recently due to sudden interest.

Theres a problem with old systems > 5 years. The system time keeps resetting every time you shut down. I realize its because of its CMOS battery that had died out all the while. Please keep this in mind when you revive an old system or else it will make you go crazy every time you boot up to set the system time.

Anyway, due to some unknown problems, the system eventually died. My dad got a new i3 system. But the main focus of this post is the tearing apart of my P4 system. Not exactly tearing, just dissecting to see if theres any salvage parts. The first thing on my mind is its 3.5'' hard disk. Although only 40GB in size, i figure it could be used to store some of the movies / media i have.

So this is what looks like inside the system. There we see the HDD , the motherboard , PSU, PCI slots, the CPU , PCH , and there's the famous floppy drive. How many of you still have it ? Of course, anybody familiar with setting up their own PCs might have spotted. Its HDD is a PATA drive. Saw all those ribbons ? How disappointing.

Another close up of the PATA drive. PATA drives are slower than SATA drives. This is very impractical as a storage medium.

Heres a close of up the floppy drive. Seeing the system board, I cant help but feel a sense of similiarity in my line of work. All the cabling and stuffs.

I HOPE !!!

Last friday , taking opportunity of an internal job fair , i went for an interview.

On monday, the hiring manager contacted me and wanted to talk to the person in charge regarding my contract. I guess he was trying to arrange something for me to be converted. The chaos starts here. I gave him her email and office phone but he wanted her mobile number. I searched high and low for everyone that had the slightest possible of being in contact with her but no one have her mobile number. Then I tried to call the office to get her cell number. But she was in a meeting and unavailable to attend calls. All of this chaos !!

I only hope the hiring manager didnt have too much candidates and wouldnt mind all these troubles. Help ! Pray with me !

Yesterday , my curiosity overwhelmed me and I emailed him asking did he contact the person. His reply was

" Yes, will let you know our decision later "

Its an open ended statement. I can only hope they release my contract with no or minimal conditions.

Braun Mobile Shaver

I have a problem of growing my beard faster than i can cut it. So all the while Im using a traditional manual shaver. The cuts are smoother and cleaner. But there is this problem of portability. I cant bring the shaver out and shave on the go. And there is also the problem of the shaving cream.
