Within one night and travelling multiple places and with the help and generosity of friends, i've got 2 free stuff and an a extremely good offer for 1 of the items, see photo. Only thing is the travelling time and weight. Lugging them from City Hall to Punggol and home.
Expensive keychain
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Just borrowed from my friend his Sony GPS keychain for my upcoming trip. This expensive little will tag my photos with the time, date and location of places where i will be taking my shots in realtime. Now i just have to figure how to work it.
Went to have lunch at Sun Plaza and decide to have noodles. For S$4, these are about the biggest fishballs i've ever had. And believe me, just eating 3 of them is a already very filling but i still managed to finish everything.
After spending days figuring out why my external USB hard drives were unable to used with my Leopard-Loaded-Apple-Powerbook. People have just began to take notice of this problems at here , there and everywhere. Especially when this one which is posted at the Coolermaster website where most of my portable hard drives enclosures are made from.
And then today i happen to stumble upon this website. It has a link to a updated USB driver for the Leopard issue. So thinking that i've nothing to loose, i've decided to give it a try.
AND THEN IT WORKED! Now the system can detected my thumbdrives and external USB portable hard disk BUT....
...the one with the dual connectors (SATA & USB) hard drives enclosure still did not work. The worse has yet to come. Just before i decide to log off and go to bed and try it one more time to conclude my findings, the thumbdrives and hard drives couldn't be detected by the system again! After i rebooted my Powerbook and gave it one last try, i managed to get them to work but thereafter i'm too tired to try again. I am going to bed after this posting, will do more research until Apple (or whoever is responsible for this), gets it fixed.
Good Signals

After wiring it up, my signal on my STB (Set Top Box) is on the normal (watchable) level now. No more screeches and distortion from the tv channels.
Amplify It

After facing the "screech TV" and unable to watch any channels properly, i went to a Home Fix shop to pick up a signal amplifier, cost me $55. Let's hope it works.
Screech TV
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
This morning, i tried to watch a decent tv program on cable tv and all i got was frequent screeches and disruption on all the channels. So i looked into the STB (Set Top Box) info, i seem to be having massive signal lost which is causing this.
The First Breakdown
Originally uploaded by Kirby Ong.
Not long after the launch of the new Nikon DSLR, D300. My friend happened to be so "lucky" to have picked up a faulty set, out of the box. So much hype and yet a disappointment by Nikon quality checks.

Which corner is cosy?

Just went to see how my hamsters are adapting in their new home. This one likes to sleep under the water bottle.
Looks like by sending more than 1 photo/pic from my phone will result in multiple blog entries with different photos/pics but with the same writeup.

Just finish connecting my Apple Powerbook to the new Apple Wireless Keyboard, Apple Mighty Mouse, LG 26" LCD TV and Sony Ericsson HBH-660 bluetooth earpiece. I've tested the connectivity, so now i can use (surf the internet, watch movies, read my e-mails, do work...etc) my Apple Powerbook from a distance (aka my bed) and stream audio via my bluetooth earpiece with a expanded view from 12" to my 26" LCD TV. So cool!
