Dell x50v is finally here

Finally got my hands on my Dell x50v. I still have not play with it long enough to say anything. Immediately after purchase, I was down at DOML paying $25 for the Martin Fields screen protector. I better hope this is worth it. Anyway, this means I will probably be spending my next few days installing applications back. I love to be back on the Pocket PC instead of the Phone Edition which does not run some of my fav applications.

Will write up more on the Dell x50v soon. Right now, I just need to sleep.

Finished Kagero 2 Survival Mode

Finally got the chance to finish the survival mode of Kagero 2. Basically its 10 levels of 10 enemies with limited time. A bit challenging at first, but you need to know what is the best and faster way to finish the enemies. Guess this is where knowing the right traps makes a hell lot of differences.

Kagero 2 FAQ

Guess what? GameFAQs rejected my FAQ because it doesn't have enough content. Well, anyway, I hosted it here in case anyone wants to download it.

Lost

Been chasing this show for a while now until Episode 16... I must say its a good TV series. Its got some cool content and a very catchy storyline. I was just kinda heard that there is no answers even at the end of the first season. How sad... Kinda remind me of the 4400s which only ran for 6 episodes but was fantastic too... That kind of lead me to think that Lost is all about alien aduction... very might like Taken. Anyway, lets not spoilt anything and wait on to see how things develope.

Upgrading Phone and PDA

Well, nowadays its all about the Merge. Phone + PDA = Pocket PC Mobile Edition. I was there, I loved it, yet I am back. I still remembered I was the very Die Hard 2 devices person. About 2 months ago, I saw the XDA IIs. A beauty it was. But after many problems and stuff I finally had to let her go and came back to 2 devices. And guess what, after all the selling and buying, this is the accounting...

Nokia 6600 (+$330) -> XDA IIs (-$850) -> Sony Ericcson K750i(-$695) = -$1215

Shocking har, but then I am selling my XDA IIs off too...

Axim X30v (+$400) -> XDA IIs (+930) -> Axim X50v (-$638) = $692

That leaves my total to $523... Well thats the price of the upgrade I guess... The price of the lesson I guess too. Well, I am the 2 devices man again.

Kagero 2

Kagero 2 Wallpaper

Just completed Kagero 2 : Dark Illusion on the PS2. Wonderful. Althought I have not complete all the extras but I must say the game is cool. Its fun playing. And thats one element many games has forgotten. They just concentrated on the opening CG too much. :) Anyway this game is kinda sick and not for everyone I guess. I played since Tecmo's Deception, then Deception 2 and 3... Its been a long time.

I also wrote a FAQ for this game. Well, its been a long time since I last wrote a FAQ too. Fun doing it. I will update the link once GameFAQ approve my submittion.

This is the link to their official website :

Night Shot from K750i

Here is an evening shot I took. Its pretty dark actually and I took this without using the Night mode. I feel its good enough. In case you are wondering what I was trying to take, its the cloud formations in the sky.

Another Macro Shot from the K750i

Well, here is another shot from less than 10cm away from the plant. This is one hte my first shot with this camera so its quite rough. The Macro is not bad at all though.

Macro on the SE K750i

I mentioned I just gotten the K750i. ITs a pretty cool camera phone or phone camera... I can't say which is which anymore. Anyway one side is a phone and the other is the camera. To my surprise this phone actually has a Macro Function. Picture says a 1000 words. See the thorn on the cactus.

AutoGK Spys no more

I had been informed that 1.96 and the newest AutoGK has removed the Spyware. Anyway the file is there in case you accidentally installed an old version. That kind of remind me of this software call Messenger Plus which I believe still comes with a easy to miss spyware option to install... I quitted on this one anyway.

Bobi is sick

Poor Bobi must had eaten something funny as he had throw out some yellowish liquid in the night I was told. I wonder if its ok. Anyway I play with him today and he is just as playful as normal, but perhaps a bit more tired today. I guess he is ok. I certainly hope so. Just feel kinda worried cos I do not understand dogs a lot.

Memory Sticky

Just bought the Sony Ericsson K750i. Anyway I will talk about it soon. What I wanted to say was I needed to get a 1GB (Yes, I cant live with less) Memory Stick. So, here what happened. There are 2 brand mainly (Sony and Sandisk). But the namely is so confusing that I am totally lost as to what I can use and what I should use...

Anyway, took me a while to finally figured out what is what. Maybe I should write a unofficial Memory Stick FAQ... Haha :P

Ok, lets start with the size. There are only 2 so far.
The longer one - Memory Stick
The shorter one - DUO
And of cos there is the adapter to change a DUO to a standard Memory Stick.

Next, is the speed. There are 2 as well.
The normal speed - Memory Stick
The faster one - PRO (usually black in color for Sony)

So you can mix and match. DUO and PRO...
Now what you can use.
For size, its st forward. DUO means only DUO. Standard size can use both DUO with adapter or just the standard size.
For speed, its just if you have PRO, it can still work in normal mode. Just that you dun get that kind of speed. But if your device say only PRO, then it must be a PRO then. PSP for example.

Anyway one last time I found out was DUO (without PRO) only comes up to 512MB... For 1 GB there is only the PRO DUO version.

How the PRO and DUO thingie doesnt come haunting you again. :)

BookCrossing

An interesting idea send to me by my US friend again.

http://www.bookcrossing.com

You can read all about it at the web. Basically its about givingaway your books, but you would like to know hows it doing after it leaves you. This web can help track it if the person who picked up log the book in. Its a pretty cool idea. Then I start to think what will happen in Singapore...

I leave the book at a park... Soon you see a junk collector comes.. Or worse, one of those newspaper hogging auntie or uncle just come along and pick it up and sell it for junk. I dread to think. In a place where there exist people who would even grab kilograms of FREE UNREAD newspaper just to sell them, I really wonder if this would even work here. FCS, I even need to have people distributing FREE newspaper in order to prevent against such.

Its pretty true that anything that is not nailed down will be taken. But I just wish the right person will pick it up and make use of it. I recycled my newspaper. Make me happy when I see someone else pick it up and read it. Just so little, I doubt I will save a tree or something, but it sure feels a lot better than to drop it into the rubbish bin.

Although I am skeptic about Bookcrossing in Singapore. I will no doubt try. Do it like an experiment and see what actually happens.

Backup Hell

Just came across an interesting video send to my by my friend from USA. Its basically a video to sell backup solution. Anyway its an interesting video which you can watch it at : http://www.backuptrauma.com

But which set me thinking... BACKUP. When do people really think about it. During lunchtime? Last thing at work before you knock off? OR must it be during the time when you boss have to call you and say : Houston, We got a problem...

This bring me to a story about the 9/11. Its a sadthing ok, but this untoldstory has to be some kind of joke really. There is a particular company which has datacenters and very well design disaster plans. The only problem was that their backup datacenter was in the other town... I guess it was after this that the word "Offsite Backup" took off.

Anyway, I will talk more about backup again someday since its one of the things I touch in my study for CISSP. For now, just keep that word somewhere in your head.

Bobi on Whale

Bobi is a Male Shih Tzu. I had been playing with him very often. One of the things I hadbeen trying very hard to do was to teach him how to play with the slide properly... He seems to have "Slidefobia" (unatural fear for slides). Well, I hope I will succeed someday. For the moment, I guess I have to be content with him playing on the whale at the playground. I wonder if he can play the see-saw :P

AutoGK Spyware

AutoGK is a nice package of tools that helps convert DVD->Divx/Xvid. However recently there has been some outroar abouthte newer 2.x beta which includes a Spyware known as DAE inside. The spyware occasionally pops up new windows on IE which I guess its pretty standard of all spywares.

Anyway, I figured I can help by writing this small installer which will help uninstall (irony :P) DAE from AutoGK. You can download it and let me know if you are happy with it.

A Lot Like Love

I am not a big fan of Romance movies. However I dint know what came over me and I just watched "A Lot like Love" tonight. Its because of Ashton Kutcher, Nah, Of course not. Strangley I did quite enjoy the show especially the way the story was told. Although pretty much was predictable and the trailer that flash occasionally on buses and tv has kinda spoilt all the surprises.

What set my brain spinning was the issue about Deaf people. I had worked with volunteers before... Ok, not that much, but at least I know that most of them are unable to speak properly because they cant even hear what they sound like. I know it would require very much training under special teacher if you really want to speak like Graham (Hope I got the name right) for a deaf person. Anyway that brings back the idea of learning sign language I had long ago. I said I am going to learn it someday... That was like a few years ago.

First Entry

Hei. Everyone has to HAVE a Blog. Why? I seriously don't know. Anyway I first signed up for a Blog because I was so dying to get a GMail Account then. And then I forgotten all about it. Maybe until today. Well maybe last week when I came across an article about Blog in the Local Newspaper and then suddenly I remember : I HAVE A BLOG 2! Well I guess I will be writing more soon. (THIS first entry REALLY sucks if you ask me)
