ipod clickwheel defect
Originally uploaded by jaremfan.
I found this surprising - a clickwheel that was installed 90 degrees off its intended position. This is a 80gb ipod classic. The clickwheel works as was intended (the << button operates the menu function, etc.), just that the placement was incorrect.
I found it at a Apple reseller […]

Dad bought me a lovely Canon 400D body for my birthday recently (Thanks, Pa!).
I’ve been shooting quite randomly - at plates of sushi, ceiling lamps, people, friends. I really like it. It’s a lot more 21st century than the Nikon FM that I loaned from my dad years ago.
I’m […]

Turtle night

I wish I was in dream world like this turtle and fish here, but I’m not. Instead, I just got another negative result on yet another round of symbian signing, and it’s really starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
The project’s dragged so long, when it’s finally […]

I feel like I just entered a time warp into the future. Since a decade ago, I’ve been gradually ignoring pop culture to the point of now not ever watching a single episode of Heroes or Lost, not ever listening to Fly.FM or ever being in line to watch Transformers.
I’m now in an odd dilemma […]

Johnny’s new toy rabbit
Originally uploaded by Andreas Schjønhaug.
We got our hands on a Nabaztag at the office - the original one, not the one with the belly button. It’s not as big as its larger-than-life on-screen persona. And it doesn’t offer much instant gratification at the touch of a button, as it really […]

Apple TV top and front
Originally uploaded by niallkennedy.
I’ve been toying around with an appleTV, which was acquired at my company recently for showcase demo purposes. It’s pretty slick, if you don’t think too hard - because you start to realize quickly that you can quickly reproduce a lot of functionality like that on […]

I bought an 550mAh ipod mini battery recently on ebay, and it finally arrived yesterday, so I couldn’t resist installing it. My previous battery was taking too long to charge and too fast to drain. Moreover, ipod battery replacement services cost a lot when the warranty […]

you fail
Originally uploaded by lrittelm.
Well, I just failed the SCJP exam for Java 5. I expected as much, knowing that cramming for the exam didn’t do much good. Will I do a retake? Maybe after 5 years, when I am filthy rich, it won’t matter anymore. Or I get a higher level certification which will […]

Engadget is a pretty cool blog that keeps up with device trends. It’s just plain distasteful that someone has ripped off its good name and set up a shop in Midvalley with the same name, same font, same logo:
Just like the Friendster cafe in Damansara Perdana.
What did Engadget (the blog) think? Well…. not too highly […]
