Streamyx

Slow?


I got a complain that Streamyx was slow. Hmm...

Nope... Not quite. Thats pretty blistering if u ask me.

Running it thru a bandwith calculator,

Kilobytes: 106.0000
Kilobits: 868352.0000
Megabits: 0.8281

That is too close to the claimed maximum of 1Mbps(Megabits per second). Its 82.81% of the maximum! Thats an A in exams! Woot! =P

New TV!!

29" Pensonic CRT color TV.


Here goes. Call from mom: I won a 29" TV! Wuu.. Really? Its apparently won at Holiday Villa Subang staff party. So the next day she went and took it cos on that day she went back early during the staff party. So its home..


Installed by me...


Impression #1: Its kinda blurry. Wayyyyyy worse than my 21" Phillips. Worse than any other 29" TV i saw. Even the colors looks unnatural... Nvm.. Small issues...


Hmm.. The remote control din work.. Opened it up.. And the capacitor was touching the resistor! O.o

Fixed that. It worked. Set the channels. Then the TV started getting dimmer till the picture eventually disappeared.. Whack it and it comes on again..

So call the Pensonic guy, he changed the IC and it worked! Until...

Let the pictures speak...


25 years of Excellence! (or so they say). (Click pic for bigger pic)


Normal mode. Notice anything? (Hint: Look at the top). (Click pic for bigger pic)


Zoom (tele) mode. Uh-huh... (Click pic for bigger pic)


Wide mode. Nope, the distortion is not from my camera. (at least not 98% of it) (Click pic for bigger pic)


One more. Chipsmore anyone? (Click pic for bigger pic)


Advice: Whatever U do, DO NOT WASTE UR MONEY ON PENSONIC! Get Panasonic instead (the original). Or ANYTHING else. =)

Flower day!

Free flowers from CBC! What did we do?


Ark! Nicely exposed subjects but badly overexposed background (and bag)! oh well. Makes up by seeming mystical. Lol. At least the colors are neutral, a lil too white. Double Lol. (L-R: Lilly, Carmen, Me, Alex, Jack) Us posing in Vietnam Kitchen with fllowers.
Ooooh ya!! Thank goodness the SONY word was wiped out by the flash! Haha!
Canon - 1 SONY - 0


Yay! Spot on exposure! Whyyyyyyyyy does it have to be green @_@ (Worse part is that i set the WB manually @_@)


Ok. Here's what we did! Make people happy! Hopefully la...


Some were overjoyed! Others were indifferent. Some were just... blur. Oh well... We did make the world a better place to live in. =)

HATE!

Dear Lord, please liberate me from the evil which is Windows... Thank you! Amen!


Why do I hate Windows? Just trying to post this makes me wonder what actually goes on in Microsoft...

So it starts of like this...

As i was reading this,

" On Windows you have to guess among buying XP professional, XP media center edition 2005, XP home, or Professional x64 edition. Good freaking luck! See if you can figure it out on Microsoft's selection page here. If they haven't cared to make the sales page helpful, how helpful do you think the actual product will be? That page not only is no help in figuring out which version of Windows you might need (hint: no one needs Windows), it told my wife she was running XP SP2, while in fact she's running Windows ME! Good luck, amigos! Click the link and play Redmond Roulette! "
- taken from here -

I got intrigued and clicked on this. The result is the image above. Looks like even Microsoft can't figure out that i'm using Windows XP, their (disastrous) product!!!! Even sitemeter (thats the counter for my blog) can!! How pathetic is that?

So I tot, Hey! Lets post this! So i print screen and pasted it in Microsoft Paint. Edited tho show the red oval and save! Walla! (or so I tot...)

So I started uploading... and uploading... and uploading... Whats wrong? O.o That pathetic program created a dumb .bmp file which is 2.3 Mb huge!!!! Imagine a 1024 x 768 picture being 2.3 Mb!! In case u were wondering, thats 0.8 MP. (They actually went and fully interpolated 1024 x 768 x 3 colors (RGB) and din bother to compress anything) My camera is 6 MP and it makes files smaller than that!! (Its about 2Mb per pic at its highest and 800kb for most of what i shoot) Its unthinkable and only done by the great wonder which is Windows. Of course, I fixed everything with Picasa2. Thank you Google!

- End of rant -



Can't wait till the day I get a Mac and OSX. All these rantings will be ancient history. Thank you God for providing a Mac! (Pray pray pray believe believe believe!!!!) =P
