For no particular reason, I decided to install Linux to a new disk partition today. It’s been a while since my last encounter with the OS (some ancient version of Gentoo) and things have changed a lot. Linux’s graphical interface is no longer so ugly that you have to hide it behind a black command prompt [...]
Due to some strange twist of fate, I now have in my possession an 8GB iPod touch. (Basically a gimped iPhone without the Phone.) It’s a very, very awesome piece of technology, and yet it suffers from the same glaring flaws that all Apple products are forever destined to bear, at least as long as Steve [...]
I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. This is something that will change lives forever. It’s a USB 2.0 rack for 2.5″ and 3.5″ SATA harddisk drives. Akihabara News uploaded a video of it in action. It takes advantage of SATA’s hot-swapping support and offers a very convenient and well-designed dock for [...]
Winamp 5.5 Beta (Build 1550) was released yesterday. The major changes in this update are album art support, a SingleUI skin and a new unified meta editor for all various file formats. Winamp 5.5 Beta Preview 1 (Bento Skin) I love the new skin. It’s called Bento and it looks really neat. It has a dedicated box [...]
If you’ve been keeping up with tech blogs or digg, you would have no doubt heard about WikiScanner, a project by computer hacker Virgil. Basically it’s a script that, using the freely-available copy of Wikipedia’s database that is regularly updated, search through every single edits for IP addresses that fall in pre-defined ranges. The tool [...]
I am now the owner of an Xbox 360. I can hear you going “WTF?” just about…now. Rest assured that I, too, share your sentiments. Actually, I won it at an IT competition for schools along with a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium and Adobe Creative Suite 2. Ergo, It’s free! And it’s a Premium [...]
Lain for President! Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of teenagers at a political rally and encouraged them to tell their friends to participate in the political process. (via Kotaku) “I want you to tell them, ‘It’s time for you to turn off the TV and stop playing GameBoy,’” Obama said. “We’ve got work [...]
And I’m not talking about the old masturbation joke either. Dell was having a sale over the New Year and I finally made the leap and ordered their 2407WFP 24″ wide screen monitor for a cool 1,099 SGD. (That’s about 720 in USD and more than a dozen in PVC figurines.) Yes, this is the “good [...]
PSP just added about 2,000 games to its library of just under 300, making it just about 721% more fun than before. Yes, PSP can now fully emulate 99% of all the PS1 games out there and at full speed with hibernation support. All you have to do is to upgrade your firmware 1.5 to the [...]
EDIT: Ops, I forgot that I can’t change the mime-type to application/xhtml+xm because my older entries will commit seppuku. Oh well, back to 1.0 Strict. This blog is now XHTML 1.1 XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS validated. If you don’t know what this means and/or don’t care: nonsensical technobabble after the jump.
Were you rubbing your eyes in disbelief at episode 3 of Yoake Mae yori Ruri-iro na? Or were you stabbing them with blunt pencils to relieve them of their agony like I was? Does it bring you merciless flashbacks of those recurring Soul Link nightmares that took many days of psychological therapy to suppress? If you [...]
