Desktop and Spore Creatures

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Well, I planned to troubleshoot the desktop and head down to SLS to buy replacement parts if need be. What followed was rather amusing. The computer was still in its weird display-freezing state when I tried to turn it on for the first time in ages. I proceeded to open the casing, pluck out the [...]

RAVING GAME RABBIDS!

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Ok, so I’m not the biggest fan of the Raving Rabbids but I have to admit that these are pretty damn cool. I don’t collect figures and I want ‘em! Individual shots from the source. [Kotaku]

N82 belongs to Me

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

So I went and buy myself an N82. The nail clipper is taken with macro close-up, still looks very good. These are shrunk down from 5megapix images. Just realized I have to install some other of the applications into PC Suite before I can do some of my stuff. Hopefully we’ll bring the Asylum back [...]

Welcome 1 Geek!

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Finally upgraded the ram on my laptop to 1GB. It’s not that fantastic considering most are working with perhaps 2GB or more but definitely better than what I had to endure for the last 2 years. Since i’m not running vista and there’s no more slots for extra ram, this will do. Hopefully, I [...]

2 Random Thoughts and a Whine

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

There’s a energy saving campaign going on in an effort to fight climate change. This can’t come at a worse time. The ironic part is how one of the message repeatedly being brought up was reducing your air-conditioning’s temperate or simply using the fan; you see this terrible heat wave is causing people to use [...]

N82 > You

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

A lot of folks are skeptical about the N82 and question my judgment when I said I wanted to get one. It’s fugly Why don’t you just buy a camera? It’s fugly!
My primary reason indeed is for a good camera phone so I don’t lunge around a separate camera. I needed a good point and [...]

Johnny Lee and His Wiimote Magic

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I actually came across these videos come time ago, I forgot why I had them rotting in WP’s drafts. So here they are.
First one’s about how Johnny Lee uses the Wiimote to do finger tracking. This enables him to do some neat stuff like manipulate things a la Minority Report.

I find the second video cooler. [...]

Stuff off the Net

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Now this is pretty amazing. Apparently, this is a music player which dances and moves around according to the tune. Now, that’s why we love the Japanese, simply because they make funky stuff. Useless and pointless but funky nontheless.

Windows live messenger plus!

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Last week, I kept getting prompts from messenger plus to download the newer version. It got very frequent so I finally downloaded and chose the “sponsored” version. The reason for my choice is that most programmes do not allow you to have full access to their functions unless you register/pay. ( Think antivirius, antispyware ) [...]

Verifying DMI Pool Data…

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

After installing the new hard disk, the system starts hanging at the message: “Verifying DMI Pool Data…”. Initially a restart could get it to work again, today, it decided to fail me. That started my 2 hour adventure of prying everything open and figuring what the heck is wrong; it involved re-cabling, removal of the [...]
