Solid State Disk (SSD) – the next generation storage technology

tech

Trancend has released 32GB 2.5” Solid State Disk (SSD). It is exactly the same as 2.5” IDE hard disk. Even the thickness of 74mm is the same. With the IDE interface, it can be plug into any notebook or mobile disk enclosure. SSD is like RAM, it has no moving parts. Without moving parts, you will get better reliability and lower power consumption which is very critical to notebook battery.

Why I signed up for PePeePeee?!

review

I started blogging since February 2007. Why did I start blogging? Well, a friend who has been blogging for almost a year was telling me how he made money by simply blogging… by simply writing blogs?… WOW!… That sound very easy!

I got so interested with the idea of getting paid while blogging… will it be so difficult to do? Read on, and see how it changes my life so far…

So, I registered with the simplest blog host. Then I realized through research on the net, it will be better if I have my own website rather then subscribing to a blog hosting site. By having my own website, I will have all the freedom I want!

My friend was advising me to register my own url as soon as possible before I gone too much with my blog. What he meant by too much is that, it gonna be difficulty for me to transfer my old blogs to my new site once it’s ready. And it is true by the way! For that I want to thank him… “thank him” for making me an “addict”!

So you see, I started blogging because I wanted to do Pe PeePeee. I registered my URL and rented web space (and pay for it!) because of PePeePeee. I’m learning how to build contents because of PePeePeee. I’m getting less sleep because of PePeePeee. I’m getting late for work because of PePeePeee… what else can I say? I singned up with PePeePeee because I want to make money… what other reason can it be?

Will I turn into full time blogger and not worry about getting late for work because of PePeePeee? I DON’T KNOW YET! Let me make loads of money from PePeePeee first OK 🙂

Microsoft TechEd!

microsoft, teched, teched2003, teched2004, techedasia2005, techedsea2006, techedsea2007

Microsoft TechEd SEA 2007 will be held in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 10th to 13th September 2007. Its going to be the 3rd TechEd SEA. The 1st TechEd SEA was held in Singapore in 2005 and the 2nd was held in Kuala Lumpur in 2006. TechEd has been held many times before in Malaysia but it was formerly known just as TechEd Malaysia xxxx. They started using the name TechEd SEA in 2005 for the first time in Singapore.

I’ve attended 3 TechEd so far… twice TechEd Malaysia and once TechEd SEA. I attended TechEd Malaysia 2003 & 2004 and TechEd SEA 2006. I skipped 1 year for TechEd SEA 2005 which was held in Singapore, the reason I did not have the chance to attend it.

This year, I’m gonna attend the TechEd SEA 2007… yea for real again!

Resizing Photographs

photography, tech, tips

Do you have photographs taken with megapixels digital camera? I’m sure you do, because digital cameras are compact and reasonably priced nowadays. The pixels are getting higher and higher where even the most compact and cheapest digicam can have resolutions of 5 megapixel or more.

Each photograph will require as much as 1.5MB or more storage space. Of course with the higher pixels and resolutions, the photographs details and colors will be more brilliant. And the large size is not a problem today since storage card are cheap and large in capacity. You can have 1GB storage card and 4GB are getting common. And if you need more space, there are 8GB or 16GB. In fact 32GB are already in the market right now.

The only problem with large size photographs is when we need to transfer it to another medium. The most frustrating will be when we need to email or publish it on the web.

If you don’t have photo editing software, the only option you have is using the PaintBrush which comes with the Windows. You can reduce the size of the photographs to about 20% for instant and save it to another file. You can reduce your 1.5MB photographs to roughly about 50KB, but all subject to your original photographs. This method is not bad, I have been using this trick for sometimes and when I’m on a machine which doesn’t have any photographs tools.

But that trick requires you to do some typing and clicks. Microsoft actually has a tool called Image Resizer. It is available since June 20, 2005 and you can download it for FREE at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx and the manual at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/learnmore/tips/eschelman2.mspx.

The tool is very small, only 521KB and once installed, it will integrate with your file explorer. Using Image Resizer is as easy as right clicking on your photographs file from file explorer and chooses the size you like to have from the popup window. Your photographs will be resized and save on another file. For example, if you resize your image001.jpg file, it will be copied to image001 (small).jpg automatically after it being resized. Just make sure you don’t tick on “Resize the original pictures (don’t create copies)”.

So, go a head… give it a try if you don’t have any photograph editor to resize your super huge photos 🙂

Focused & Blurred

photography

My photography is getting better I guess. I’m using the Canon PowerShot S3 IS set to manual mode. The two pictures are my trial on doing detail shot. Focus on the subject and blurred the background.


Flower on the table at Tuaran Beach Resort… the flower looks so fresh and real.


Papaya branch leave with water droppings during rainy day behind my garage… the water bubbles looks so real, right? 🙂 Can you see my reflexion on the water bubbles?
