Almost done packing my luggage and preparing to leave for LA. The last week was really busy for me as I was running around doing errands, meeting people, and making sure things still go on while I am away. Speaking of errands, I bought a NAS 500Gb MyBook yesterday. A minute after it is booted […]

GPRS on OSX in Singapore
Back on the OSX, I find myself in a confusion trying to use my Mobile Phone (Nokia N80/E60) to access the Internet. There wasn’t any problem connecting my Nokia Phone via Bluetooth to the Mac and iSync works great over Bluetooth too. However, all attempts to access the Internet via my Nokia phones failed. I […]
MacBook Pro
Johnny Malkavin send me an IM this afternoon. 2:27 PM johnnymalkavian: i smell adium 2:28 PM me: ah yes 2:28 PM johnnymalkavian: adium smells… good. Haha. He is fast :-) Yes, I just got my new Mac last night after 24 months of Windows. Not just any mac, but the 15″ MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Dual […]
More FON and giving them away
Since I blog about FON two week, I got some enquires about whether I could get some for them too. Sadly, as mentioned, they dont shipped to Singapore yet. So a few days ago, I decided to email my friends at FON. Well, they replied and send me a box of 20 FON routers. It […]
Samsung WiBRO Mobile Phone
Just read on Crunch Gear that Samsung is showing off their WiBRO Mobile Phone. But the one which everyone talking about (and has being waiting for since June) is the one below: Samsung SPH-P9000. It is really more of a PDA with a fold-out keyboard. Beside the interesting form-factor, it support EV-DO as well as […]
My little Fonera
I met Martin in Japan few months ago where he talks about working with Taiwanese manufacturer to make customized base stations for FON. Downloading firmware into WRT54g may be fun for a technie but perhaps not for the masses. So why not make their own boxes? Afterall, you can easily find a manufacturer for US$20-25 […]
Nokia E61
My new toy, Nokia E61, the supposingly Blackberry-killer from Nokia. Got this yesterday and took sometime to play with it :-) I love the full keyboard. It is actually usable! (and does not take too long to get used to) I also like the big screen. I feels really good to read email on such […]
Enzer E6068
Just got a new DVD player: Enzer E6068. What so cool about the DVD player is that it comes with a USB port as well as a multi-card reader. You can put in a USB thumbdrive (or an SD card) into the DVD player and it will play the avi :-) Yes, it support […]
MacOSX on Intel
A few days ago, I got a few hours spare so I got myself a new Mac…well, kind of. I got Mac OSX running on my HP Pavillion. Nope, it is not those hacks you do to make your Windows look like a Mac (I did that two years ago). Or the super slow […]
Nokia N80
Finally went to Singtel shop yesterday and upgrade my SIM to a 3G USIM card. At the same time, I also got myself a brand new phone, Nokia N80. So far, it is like the Series 60 phones that I had before so I am pretty at ease with the interface. Most important of all, […]
