On leaving mobile phones to a tech personnel

Monday, September 1st, 2008

I didn’t realize how incredibly dependent I am on those nifty mobile communication devices until recently. It feels like as if I had just lost a limb - a vital body limb.

Note to self: Before sending off any electronic gadgets which contain sensitive personal information such as auto-email retrieval, password cookies and a huge collection of saved SMSs for a week long vacation (i.e. firmware upgrade), please delete and reset everything back to it’s original virgin state.

I’m sure the tech engineers are having quite a ball rummaging all through my emails, photo gallery and especially, all my sent/received SMSs. And having an ongoing chat-style view serving as both your SMS inbox and outbox, makes it much more easier to read and pick up on conversation.

I wonder what is in my Safari browsing history.
But then again, this is all speculation.

And now, off to change all my passwords. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

Cheerios,

I heart iPhone

I want iPhone. No, I’m not a pedophile.
I almost cried watching this.

Love Thy Neighbour

Monday, January 15th, 2007

Dear neighbour (the one who keeps his WiFi wide open),

I’ve been on your wireless network without you knowing. I’ve been gentle with it though - refraining myself from downloading any torrents and youtube-ing. I don’t know whats up with your connection today. I hope you’re trying to fix your fucked up connection right now. I would love to offer any assistance but I’d prefer that you don’t know I’m on your network. So to the people with connection problems, make it fast ah (fixing). And whats up with the 9PM wireless curfew?

Regards,
Someone within the 10 metre (or more) radius.

P/s: Incase you’re wondering, I’m blogging through my phone.

P/s/s: I know I’m not making any sense.

Apple’s iPhone

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

Thanks, yet again to the wonderful and sexually active people at Discreet Romance (NSFW) for donating enough money just so I can re-new the domain.

I don’t blog about gadgets but this, I just have to.

If you haven’t been living under a rock lately (unless you’re Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants), you might’ve heard about the new iPhone from, who else, Apple. And, if you know Apple, their gadgets are stunningly designed. They are sexy and cool.

So, what sets iPhone far apart from the phones which are currently on the market?

  • It has real desktop applications running ontop of OS X (Safari, iTunes etc.)
  • It’s 11.6 millimeter thick. Incase you failed Maths class, that’s extremely thin
  • A 3.5-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen display. I’m not so sure about this though. I’m pretty sure I’ll break it in the first week
  • A proximity sensor to turn off the screen when it’s close to your face
  • A 2 megapixel built in camera (Not bad!)
  • 4GB or 8GB of storage
  • Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi

And, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I wished they came up with a better name though. I mean, come on, iPhone? Even iOrange sounds better. iSeed, maybe? I’m just kidding. Haha. Before you start having impure thoughts about Apple’s iPhone, just so you know, it will only be in Asia in 2008.

Long hours on the road

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Dear PSP,

I don’t know what I’ll do without you. You keep me entertained in my never ending journey in the car. Though, you’re not as slim and as slick as an iPod, you do the job just as well and I thank you for that. But, god damnit, what the fuck is up with your battery life? You suck. Its back to the little white box for you, mister. Only 4 hours? Come on!

Affy-

We are all on drugs

Why men have nipples? because they look weird without them. Gives me the creeps. Not for pussies with weak hearts.

I swear, if firefox crashes again or my norton antivirus pops up asking me for money, I’m gonna throw this computer out the window, pee on it, drag it around the house and bury it. Seriously. Technology drives me insane some times.

And, the internet connection is so fucked. It takes for fucking ever to load a page and when it’s loaded, it disconnects. So everytime a page is loaded, I need to reconnect. Stupid motherfuckers who run the motherfucking phone company. Ok, I will refrain myself from using the word fuck for the following next paragraphs so no worries.

School starts today. Our oh-so-not-long-enough 10 days holiday has ended. I slept or should I call it a nap, for only 1hr 30mins+ and force myself out of bed to get ready for school. My eyes were red, it looks like I’ve been stabbed in the eye repeatedly and rubbed with sandpaper. I may have exaggerated but you get the point. It’s red. I would’ve slept on the floor if I could.

I originally planned on working on the site this afternoon but I fell asleep on the couch for six whole hours and now I’m here talking about it. So don’t expect too much changes for this week. I really need the time to adjust myself and get my priorities straightened.

The domain has been renewed for another year but I still except donations.

and before I go and take a shower because I stink and conclude this entry - plug your site, won’t ya?

So until next entry, if everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough.
