I was very contented with my non-smart (thus, wifi incapable) phone for a few months, until I went to Kuala Lumpur with friends. One friend has an iPhone and the other one has a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Every time we got into a place with wifi, we stop talking to each other because both of [...]
My most favorite place in Singapore is my bedroom! I get to do anything that I want. I can make a mess and not disturb other people. Many people might consider their bed as their favorite spot in the bedroom but mine is my work area: My chair is not as comfortable as I want [...]
My Dell Inspiron laptop is dead. Four years of being with me, and she finally gave up. And it’s the first big thing that I ever bought for myself! Even if I have a 3 year laptop warranty, it’s still no use. She is already old that I think there is no more battery being [...]
One of the few events that I look forward to here in Singapore happens only twice a year: in the first and third quarter. It’s been called different names: IT Show, PC Show, and the latest one which happened last weekend was the COMEX (Computer Expo). But these names just represent one thing: it’s that [...]
Being in software development has its ups and downs. It is really stressful when you have to complete a task in an unreasonably short time. It gets boring when you’re not allowed to access the internet and yet you’re still waiting for the next task. It’s very frustrating when you can’t figure out why a [...]
I have mentioned a thousand times that I prefer winter over summer. Better yet, autumn! But there is one thing that I don’t like in cold temperature: static shock. I love wearing knitted clothes but wearing them means more static electricity for me. It constantly happens to me that I wish plastic knobs are used [...]
I thought that the transfer to the new company would give me more opportunity to blog. But I was wrong. Accessing my blog is not problem but, we’ve been very busy since the first day. And, I’ve been constantly working overtime. I can access my blog alright, but I’m not comfortable with that old guy [...]
I’ve been absent from blogging world these past few days. I didn’t have time to watch my favorite animes because my hands were full (and still is) configuring a Joomla-powered website. Joomla is way more difficult to configure than WordPress but it’s really good. Enough of geeky stuffs… I was on my way home yesterday [...]
My first flash drive was only 128MB. That was more than five years ago, and it cost a lot! I think it cost me more than US$25. Now, flash drives and the rest of the electronic gadgets are getting smaller, better, and cheaper. I was in the supermarket a few days ago and there’s a [...]
I always open tons of applications simultaneously in my computer. One time, it was annoyingly, horribly slow that I decided to hit Window’s “hottest key combination”, the Ctrl-Alt-Del… or so I thought. When I looked at my screen, I panicked to see this:I mistakenly hit the Ctrl+Alt and the left arrow key. If your laptop’s [...]
This must be one of my rare geeky postings. ^-^ I came across this C code somewhere: It looks like garbage to me and I agree, it violates many coding standards (I only know so few, though) but the code above is definitely a legal C code. I was even more surprised to see the [...]
