My main character account on Kalonline was blocked on 8/5, while the character is fishing. I sent the service centre an email asking for unblock... 3 days later, they came back with this...

wtf ?! They needed 3 days to tell me this... and what the hell are they collecting people's ID for ? I'm really pissed off...

Below is an example how to run an executable using a different user account in Windows via command. This is similar to the right click -> Run as..



Make this as a shortcut, it will be handy if you regularly needed to run applications on different user accounts for some reasons.

Went to Byron Bay with friends to catch the sunrise and some beach activity during Easter long holiday. The view in the lookout point is very nice, too bad we didn't spot any whales or dophins.

The city centre of Byron Bay is not too small, but we're having trouble to find a McDonald/KFC/Hungry Jacks... We have 3 GPS, all TomTom (different series) and saying nearest McDonald is 26km

Overnight in Gold Coast later that night, a lot of driving and but it's fun. Below are the photos taken from my mobile:

Recently I've changed my old mobile SE K800 to Nokia 5800. Thanks Dewi for the screen protector ! :)

I was actually waiting for the Nokia E71. Didn't even know this phone was out until I found out on the website. Changed my mind on the spot and sign up the phone the next day. Haven't regretted after using for a few weeks, and more importantly, the phone hasn't crashed at all (unbelievable for a modern Nokia phone)!

This is my first touch screen mobile, getting more used to it as the phone has only 3 main buttons. Below are some of my thoughts:

Pros

• Nokia Comes With Music - What really impressed me wasn't actually the phone itself, but rather the "Nokia Comes With Music" - unlimited music downloads for 1 year. Yeah I know the DRM thing is stupid but unlimited downloads ? I can live with that.
  note: there are some websites that claim it's not "unlimited", only 120 songs per year. But looking at my Nokia Music, I've already downloaded 226 tracks...
• Free 8GB memory card - Isn't this sweet? Would be even better if's internal though..
• Touch screen sensitivity is ok
• Message typing is quite good among the touch screen mobiles as you can choose several input choice from old school to qwerty style keyboard
• Phone is lightweight - But beware, it's a little flimsy, one drop... R.I.P.
• Standard data connectivity - WLAN/Bluetooth/USB etc
• Internet browsing is quite good (but not the browser)

Cons

• Most of the times, you'll need to nagivate through a lot of screens to achieve one thing. I'm not a fan of Nokia navigation interface and this haven't changed for yaers.
• The casing provided is really hard to use
• This phone is supposed to be a portable entertainment device, but the side volume adjust button is not usable when the phone is being locked. You'll need to unlock the phone to adjust the volume.
• Blinking/phantom windows appearing and disappearing between applications.
• File manager - how could you call it a "manager" if it doesn't even support one of the most needed multiple item selection function ? ie, if you need to move 10 files from one folder to another, good luck on that because you'll need to move one by one, for 10 times.
• No one-button-access to display current running applications.
• Making a call and contact browsing is really not user-friendly.
• The call button (green) displays outgoing/incoming/missed calls separately, would be nice to have another section that combines all 3 categories. It's handy when you want to make a call quick without too much finger-touching.
• Gallery/Media browsing - really really crappy and wouldn't want to comment more.
• Music player - If you un-plug the earphone while playing a song, it automatically continue to play out on speakers.
• Camera - Don't expect too much, don't even expect it to be average. My SE K800 camera phone is almost 3 years old now, but the camera quality is far more superior than this Nokia 5800.
• The headset - The cable is a bit too long ? That could get a person hang dead if it's not used properly...

Overall, the phone is quite good (along with the bundles). Forget about this if you're looking for a average camera phone.

The Nokia 5800 has other name - the "iPhone Killer" but I guess iPhone still stands out easily. However, given this is just the first generation of touch screen phones from Nokia, the potential to be able to compete more with iPhone in future is undeniable.

Recently bought a Leadtek 3200h that comes with WinFast PVR2 software, able to watch the HD channels perfectly on WS but the software is unable to display subtitles...

Did a couple of search and found this:

Using Winfast PVR2

v2.0.2.42 or earlier works with subtitles.
v2.0.3.01 up to v2.0.3.07 partially work with subtitles. The reason is teletext opens in new window on top of current tv program. Press subtitles button up top right of teletext window or type 801 will load subtitles in current teletext window. Problem is the minimise/overlay subtitles into current tv program button up the top righ corner of teletext window has been dissabled. So subtitles will only be available in seperate window.

Subtitle will never work because WinPVR2 use DVB Subtile that will not work in Australia. Need support for VBI Subtitle for Australia to work subtitle duh !

The 801 trick worked on the teletext, but it's on a separate small window, and it's not even transparent! I can place the window on my 2nd monitor but it still looks strange...


I found the old PVR2 v2.0.2.40 if you want to downgrade the software.

More than a year ago, due to worm attack on the server and corrupted all my files (several times actually), I decided to pull my blog down and go into maintenance mode.

Now, it's the time to open it back to the public ~

こんにちは皆 !

(below is the restored entry lost after the server crashed last year...)

Lately I'm inactive on this site and a couple of things happened, eg site under attacked (believed it's a worm) around September, then server primary HDD crashed and they're unable to rebuild to the latest data because they didn't set up the RAID properly...I'm speechless when they "announce" this. What else could I say when you expect it's the basic routine but they're not even doing it right... then another attacked which injected codes in my scripts, thanks to that, it delivers *free porn* to visitors whenever they request a page on my site. This is so not creative...

If it's not a friend of mine bring this up to me, I would just leave this ongoing for a while since I'm going t A couple of IP's and hostname are banned for the time being.

Oh well, Christmas is around the corner. I am planning to get myself a new PC for Christmas ^^ Would go for 2 x 22" LCD monitor setup since I've always wanted to play with multi monitors setup. Was thinking of Apple's Mac but then it's too pricy and the specs are so horrible. I can just get a PC that has equivalent performance as Mac, get a white-piano-feel case or paint it white, and it will still cost me less... .... ....


*it's getting late and I'm starting to type rubbish...*

Helenair over at Metacafe uploaded this video of the first preparation flight of a 1/5th scaled MIG-29 fighter-jet.

The team has seemingly created a sweet RC scaled MIG-29, costing between $5,000—$15,000 and the replica was fitted with two turbine engines, which were not tested at their full capacity.



$5,000 - $15,000 ?? I think I could get a new car with that money but hey, the RC model is so cool ! Even the landing phase is so smooth =)
