amplifier replaced

Some of you might not know that I actually subscribe to a WiFi service at ground level, 14 floors below where I live.

About 2 weeks ago, the service went down so I called Airzed Customer Service and they told me that the amplifier malfunctioned and was scheduled to be replaced, and just this week, the signal’s back, and is STRONGER!

So I’m back online at home!

Here’s to RM139 per year (or RM11.58 per month) for wireless broadband that I share over my own wireless router (which I won … for FREE!!)

took the dive..

I have taken the dive. Expensive dive, but I think it’ll be a good investment. The memories it will capture, the hearts the pictures will melt. Chewah.

Total package: Camera, 4GB SDHC (Class 4), screen protector, carrying case. RM1650.

Sakit man, wallet.

don’t use a GPS navigation system ..

… if you ALREADY know how to get there.

Duh.

I decided to trust the little rectangular cuboid thing with my directions this morning to the office, and my journey was painfully prolonged TRIPLE the time I take to get to the office.

garmin10x.JPGI’ve got a Garmin Mobile 10X GPS receiver, paired with my O2 Mini running Garmin Mobile XT Windows Mobile software and a Malsing Open GPS Malaysia Map. I’ve used it on my usual trips around town, just to see whether it actually leads me on a proper route and it actually does! Though it usually re-routes many times, because I take all the shorcuts. Smart aye?

But .. this morning, I was stuck at Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Jalan Kg. Attap, Jalan Mahameru, Jalan Loke Yew, and Jalan Cheras. Totalling up to 1 and a half hours on the road. That’s when it’s .. NOT SO SMART. Go round and round and round. I usually take 30 minutes to arrive at my office, without much .. frustration and traffic jam at that.

Don’t feel very smart today.

muka buku

Yeah, I took the plunge. Was looking for some distraction from work, so I signed up. Yeah. Wonder if it’ll suffer the same fate as my .. friendster account. Never got off on friendster.

iPhone in Malaysia

Guess who played with the iPhone in Malaysia? Sure, I’m not the first Malaysian to have touched it, but I beat ALL the rest of you? :p

It’s all that it claims to be, an uber cool, souped-up iPod video with phone capabilities. The multi-touch screen is amazing to use, zooming in and out of webpages were seamless, though yeah, you’d have to constantly adjust the page to get a smooth flow when you’re reading. The resolution on the screen was amazing, as I could watch a TopGear video on the Ferrari F430 using the YouTube application built-in to the iPhone.

Amazing.

Here are some shots of the dunggu with an iPhone:

So much for anonymity!

If you could see, I pulled up my blog on the iPhone Safari application. Pardon the quality of shots, as it was from a camera phone. Still haven’t bought my Panasonic Lumix FZ50 yet. :p

WT4000

We’re having a seminar at Hyatt Saujana, Subang tomorrow, and guess what David’s gonna be displaying? No, nothing of the lewd nature.

Check this out!

The WT4000. Coupled with RS409, the Ring scanner.

Don’t mess .. I BEAM you AR!

Runs on Windows CE 5.0.

The wrist strap. My forearm is so thin .. I … almost had to go another round. Kidding. It’s adjustable!

Ain’t it cool? I’ve always wanted something like this as a toy. Costs a whopping RM1X,XXX though. A very expensive toy, no? :p Have been reading up on it, and learning as much as I can before I get the missiles from customers, managers, and directors tomorrow. Woohoo. I thrive on the equivocality of enquiries that will come tomorrow.

Ahhh.

O2 Mini

One of the highlights of last week was that I bought myself an O2 Mini. It’s been a far cry of mine to come back to the world of gadgets, and finally .. it has come true. A dear friend of mine, AlexNg first showed it to me 3 weeks ago .. and I got hooked. I couldn’t get it my mind off it. Then I came across a cell member .. who had the same phone. I asked him if he was thinking of selling it .. and he really was! He said that trading it in would get him RM600 off the next purchase but that’s a highly unreasonable amount. So he decides to look for another shop.

I then told him my intentions of getting an O2 Mini .. and he asked me to check the price for a second hand one and propose to him a reasonable price. So I did .. and after a little discussion, the phone exchanged hands!

Alex gave me a list of recommended programs to install and to help it become breezy in its operation and so far, I haven’t had much problems with it. Sometimes .. it hangs .. but well, what doesn’t, aye? Couple of reasons why I bought it:

  • I need to organize my life. It’s been too long .. going on fuzzy memory of what I should and shouldn’t do. Haven’t managed as well as I thought I could.
  • It syncs with Microsoft Outlook, and my work utilizes it extensively.
  • Better get it now and build my contacts upon it before it’s too late and there are too many contacts to key in.
  • Since I have an extra phone line covered by the company, so … get the phone la.

I’m officially on the dark side now. Who would’ve thought?
