Tech Toys

How long.... Oh how long.....

Longing for new tech toys. One in mind (actually a few) is a SD or HDD camcorder with reasonable battery life. Budget? Let's say about RM1,500. Any suggestions out there?

Must be prudent with my hard earnt cash!!!! Especially when need to start saving for little "stone".

The only "extra" cash I can get my hands on would be courtesy of our Malaysian Government. The RM625 which ends sometime in March?? However, sad to say that after paying for the insurance and road tax for my Kelisa, all that is left would be about RM250. Now, what can I do with RM250??? Save it?? Use it?? Partyyyyy???

Life goes on.....

2009

Ah! We are in year 2009. A very happy new year to you all out there. Nope. I don't think the wishes is any too late. Better late than never as some may say.

Most people are adopting a cautious attitude towards 2009 in terms of finances. I would say it would be a wise decision. How sad. That means no more unnecessary gadgets/toys for the time being (notice I use "for the time being"). With so many unpredictable "things" going on out there in the world, who knows what may happen.

2009 for me would definitely be an interesting year as there will be a major change in my life. Some may know about it but some would still be in the dark. Anyhow, sooner or later it would be out in the open and hiding would be impossible (unless my wife dissappears and move to some far far away place for the next six months).

Yes! There is a little "stone" on the way. Sometimes it is scary to imagine bringing up the little "stone" especially with the world in such condition. Nevertheless, it is one of God's will for us, right? Both my wife and I will leave it to all to God. We believe that He will provide for all our needs I am sure. He will make a way when there is no way. Amen to that.

Maybe the next post will have more information.

Streamyx Down.... Up again!

For the last three days or so, my Streamyx service was down. Called TM and as usual, got me to do a whole lot of nonsense before opening a complain report for me. However, once the report was opened, the response was fast. Less than two days, it is up and kicking ***s again.

Don't really know what causes the system to go down on me. Maybe my "streamyx" is unhappy that I've got the alternative connection??? Nah, don't think so as these things don't have life and feelings or else we would be very close to the "Terminator" era.

For what it is worth, both services are performing satisfactorily for me at the moment.

Comparison

Above shown are the results of the comparison of the two ISP. What do you think???

Alternative Connection

Just subscribed to an alternative broadband connection. So far it has just been for a few hours but the speed seems acceptable. Will keep readers updated on my satisfaction to the service.

EeePC

Finally, I've got my EeePC XPized!!!!

It may not be exactly what wanted but it's a start. My current OS is Windows XP SP3. It was changed from the original Xandros Linux. My ultimate would be to get the XP OS into my 8Gb SD. If that is successful, than I could have a dual boot. Xandros on SDD and XP in the SD. Cool?

Now, one would ask, "Why would I want to do all this?" No particular reason for me. Just knowing that I can do it brings satisfaction to myself.

Lately, I found out that I can also install Mac OS X into the EeePC. Hhhmm... now that's interesting...... I suppose the possibilities are endless, if one have his/her mind onto it, anything can be possible.
