I’ll be back…!

Gosh… have not updated my blog for a really long time. A lot have definitely happened and there are so many things to blog about I don’t know where to start. Anyway, my busy season should end after this weekend so expect to see a fresh roll of updates after that.

For now, what I can say is that I’ll be touching on a few new topics, mainly my interests and experiences. I’ll be back!

Google is Hiring (Weed consumer wanted??)

Internet search engine giant Google is hiring, but with a little twist. In your resume, you’d need to be a weed consumer to apply?! Well, weed in the unwanted grass, shrubs, brushes; not the marijuana “weed”. And they are not “kidding” either when they say they are actually…

A moment of courage that changes life

I believe that this story has been told over and over again in so many other forms and in as many ways, but still, it is worth re-telling how a little courage goes a long way that could change someone’s life. I’ll let the video do the talking…

24 Samsung SSD in RAID Configuration

My colleuges for the part time job shared this video during a short break between work. Showcasing some insane ways you could spend money which you have no idea how to spend (better still, donate to me!). Some Samsung marketing dude tried to show-off their flagship SSD products by constructing a PC built with…

Disk Space Myths

Just a while ago a friend of mine had some PC problems with a new tread of worm (again, Mac vs. PC, Mac wins!). Manage somewhat to get it fixed but ended up having weird disk space usage readouts, and that, I’ve still yet to figure out. He asked a good question during the diagnostics: He has a 160GB HDD, but Windows shows only 149GB. What gives? The OS took 11GB?…

Fwd: A thing or two about forwarded emails

When I check my email everyday, I tend to at least see one email that is forwarded to me by somebody. It could be something nice, like a list of really cute stuff, or life philosophies. It could sometimes be outright freaky, like some doctored photos of a girl that eats human, or some freak accident. Some are sympathetic mails, “Please forward to as many people as possible…

iPhone OS 3.0

Apple has announced on Mar 17, 2009 in the Apple Developer’s Forum that there will be an update to the iPhone / iPod Touch operating system, dubbed the iPhone OS 3.0. This would be an exciting update for all the iPhone / iPod Touch users as this new update contains…

Earth Hour 2009

Earth Hour was originally conceived as an event for people to turn off their lights for one hour during that day. It was first started in Sydney, Australia in 2007. The simple but brilliant idea caught the attention of other people of the world, and in 2008, it went global. Over 35 countries participated in the 2008 iteration, with an estimated 50 million people participating in that event. In 2009, the idea came to Malaysian shores…

Cat Shit One

Now here’s something interesting that just recently came off from Japan. Cat Shit One is a 3D animated Japanese series that was previewed at the 2009 Tokyo International Anime Fair. Feels a lot like Metal Gear Solid with adorable bunnies replacing Solid Snake as the main characters…

Petition Against “New Facebook”, and Facebook responded

While any change to user interface will generally attract certain amount of criticism (think Microsoft Office 2007), the complaints usually die out after users figure it out and gets used to it. Facebook just recently rolled out a redesign to their interface and unsurprisingly, drew fire from its community, just like every other interface redesigns. What’s different about Facebook’s criticism, lies in…
