Machines Opening

Today, Machines(KLCC) had their official opening and there were 50 units of iPod Shuffle sold with 50% off. I thought I would be one of the first ten person, but i was totally wrong. It was 8.30am and there were about 20-30 people already standing in front of the closed store. Some of them I heard came at 7. Feh! Met a few person who aren't so familiar with Apple, but have the desire to have one product. Been asked a no-brainer question also(silly but funny).

And I also met this Machines guy from the Mid Valley Machines store and we(with kevler) talked about few cool things. There were drinks and pastries and not to forget, the new iMac which didn't really caught my attention. What so sad is, no iPhone preview and they announced the cancellation last minute. Anyway, Machines did a good job and thanks for paying 200 for my 1st mp3 player. Erm..I dislike Apple earphone. I prefer my sennheiser =p

Yeah, I've heard this somewhere, Azul bought an iPhone from San Francisco and manage to unlock and use it here in Malaysia. Well, I'm looking forward to Azul at the next MyMug meetup =p

Some maths here. The price tag says rm.349. But in US they sell for usd.79 which is rm.277 here. WTF! Anyway they sold to us for rm.147 which is pretty cool.

Download Youtube Video

THIS TWO SITES ARE COOL! You give them youtube URL, and they will convert the video to some popular format such as .AVI .MOV .MP4 .3GP and even MP3. Later you'll be shown a download link where you can save the requested video to your computer. Now I don't have to extract the .FLV and hog my cpu to encode them to other format.

Internet Connection Sharing on Mac OS X

Windows ICS is painful. Unlike Mac OS X which involve only three steps in System Preferences. Sharing > Internet Tab > Start. Now everybody in my house can surf!



Like what you see here I've set up a sharing preferences where other computers are able to connect to my laptop using wireless connection and share my internet access which I've connected to using bluetooth through my handphone.

Mac OS X + Motorola RAZR V3X + 3G Internet

Surfing with Windows on my mom's laptop is hardly enjoyable since I'm a Mac user. But we use 3G connection on a her Motorola RAZR V3X. On Windows, the setup is pretty straight. Not for Windows.

1. Download the Motorola GPRS Modem scripts from here.
2. Unzip the scripts, and copy the "Motorola GPRS CID1" script file to the "/Library/Modem Scripts" folder.
3. Set up Bluetooth. System Preferences > Bluetooth. Make sure that "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar is checked".
4. Turn on your Motorola, and make sure that Bluetooth is on and discoverable (Connections > Bluetooth > Find Me).
5. On your Mac, in the Bluetooth settings (System Preferences > Bluetooth) select the Devices tab, and then press the "Setup new device" button. You can also select this item from the Bluetooth icon on your task bar.
6. Follow the instructions and pair the Motorola with your Mac.
7. In step 4 of 5 of the pairing process, make sure to check the "Access the Internet with your phone's data connection" checkbox, and select the "Use a direct, higher speed connection to reach your Internet Service Provider (GPRS, 1xRTT)" Radio Button. Select continue.
8. In the next screen, leave the username and password blank. For the GRPS CID String enter *99#, and for Modem Script, select "Motorola GPRS CID1". Click continue. Then click Quit.
9. Open Network Preferences (System Preferences > Network), highlight USB Bluetooth Modem Adaptor, and click configure.
10. Don't change TCP/IP settings. Switch to the PPP tab. Leave everything blank, except the Telephone Number which should be *99#.
11. Click the PPP Options button, and make sure that "Send PPP echo packets" is unchecked. This is very important. If you don't do this step, the connection will disconnect after a few seconds. Click OK.
12. Switch to the Bluetooth Tab, and make sure the correct Modem Script is selected, and everything is checked except for "Wait for dial tone before dialing".
13. Switch back to the PPP Tab and click the "Dial Now..." button. Set configuration to "Other" and leave everything blank. Press the "Connect" button. After a second or two a terminal window will come up, just hit the continue button.
14. You should now be connected. Open a browser and browse to a web page to make sure you are connected.

"Bergunung mana pun harta, bukanlah kaya namanya, jika miskin budi bahasa..Segagah mana pun diri, bukanlah namanya pahlawan, jika nafsu tidak dapat di lawan..Secantik mana pun rupa nan ayu, bukanlah namanya ratu, jika buruk tingkahlaku..Setinggi mana pun darjatnya, bukanlah namanya mulia, jika tiada iman di dada..Melangit mana pun ilmu, bukanlah namanya bijaksana, jika tidak diamal & diguna..Sealim mana pun warak, bukanlah namanya ulama', jika takbur & riak.."

Last night movie made me think of something.

There are still, some of us (i can say a few) work hard for reasons like these: Maybe you want to prove something to some people. Maybe because you do not want some people to think you're wasting their time (or money). Maybe because you are trying to impress some people. Maybe you want to win somebody's heart. Or sadly...maybe you just being told to.

....do it for yourself. you should try it sometime.

24:2 Surah Cahaya

"(As for) the fornicatress and the fornicator, flog each of them, (giving) a hundred stripes, and let not pity for them detain you in the matter of obedience to Allah and the last day."

"Perempuan yang berzina dan lelaki yang berzina, hendaklah kamu sebat tiap-tiap seorang dari keduanya seratus kali sebat dan janganlah kamu dipengaruhi oleh perasaan belas kasihan terhadap keduanya dalam menjalankan hukum agama Allah, jika benar kamu beriman kepada Allah dan hari akhirat dan hendaklah disaksikan hukuman seksa yang dikenakan kepada mereka itu oleh sekumpulan dari orang-orang yang beriman."

Hukuman sebatan di Malaysia untuk diambil iktibar. Belum lagi azab neraka. Ref. IslamOnline , pmo.gov.my , corpun.com , e-bacaan

Loving Diversity

Yeah, I've been thinking about this once in a while. There are times we fight. There are times we hate each other. There are many reasons. But I found out, there's only one reason that really fit. Diversity. We live in a world with variety of people and different opinion. That is why we quarrel, argue and disagree.

Try to embrace diversities. Love the differences. The world isn't a plain and boring place.

Laa. Ye ke?

"Ramai tidak tahu bahawa pusat ini adalah satu-satunya kawasan yang mempunyai mata wang sendiri pada sekitar 1930-an setelah wujud kebimbangan orang ramai bahawa akan berlaku jangkitan akibat sentuhan penghidap kusta,” ujarnya.

Dari Utusan. Pusat tersebut merujuk kepada kawasan 200 hektar tanah milik kementerian di sekitar Pusat Kawalan Kusta Negara, Sungai Buloh

Nuri Fakapster

Bila dah ada orang mati, baru nak fikir ganti helikopter baru la, pasang beacon pada semua pesawat la, bla bla... Rasanya memang besar pengorbanan juruterbang yang terkorban. Hanya cara tu kot untuk memaksa kerajaan menukar helikopter baru atau mengambil langkah keselamatan.

Tapi kalau orang mati juga walaupun dah diambil langkah awal, boleh kot dimaafkan. Kalau terjadi pun (ajal di tangan Tuhan), kerajaan tetap akan ambil langkah terbaru juga untuk meningkatkan lagi itu dan ini. Tindakbalas kerajaan terhadap isu semasa adalah penting. Hanya penting untuk menunjukkan kepada rakyat, mereka mengambil berat tentang undian anda, bukan keselamatan juruterbang.

Jangan marah, kritikan itu penting. Tapi kalau saya kerajaan pun, saya faham. Ingat nak jaga isu pesawat je ke? Ingat senang ke nak jaga negara? Bukan nak ambil berat undian. Kita ikhlas buat kerja ni. Macam ni lah manusia, bila ikhlas mula la nak pandang serong.

Tapi ada je lakonan ikhlas, hati manusia Allah je yang tahu. Ingat! Padang mahsyar tu sebenar-benarnya ADA, di mana segala perbuatan mu dipertontonkan.

ps: ingat ni pasal nuri je ke, ni pasal orang kita la... jangan pening, ini lah fakapster.

Dari Rasa Malas ke Rasa Semangat

I laid down on bed, felt lazy to go to work that night, motivating myself, and all of sudden, Ja called, and we chatted for a while, and later I felt energetic and eager to work =) Thanks for all the concerns.

Hai Pensel dan Kertas

Tiba tiba aku selongkar kotak , men cari pensel . men cari pensel ? perasaan seperti , mencari semula kawan lama . kawan yang aku tinggal kan lama . teringat pula bekas pensel dan pen yang aku beli di ikea dulu entah bila . " Nikman , ko ade kertas A4 tak ? ada pencil sharpener tak " lepas aku tanya , muka dia terus jadi blur , muke tanda tanya , " ko ape hal tetiba cari benda benda nih ? " aku memang tak tau nak cakap apa . jumpa kertas garis garis je . aku pun mula melukis muka dan lama lama jadi contengan kucar kacir yang serabut . dan aku pun campak ke lantai dan kertas tu landing terbalik . dan aku perasan belakang kertas garis garis tersebut - alah sekema nya - rupaya tak ada garis garis . aku capai kembali dan melukis garisan dan aku ulang lukis lagi garis atas garisan tersebut - faham kah pembaca - dan garisan itu menjadi tebal dan tebal dan ketebalan yang telah menemui had . ku lukis garis baru dan lukis lagi atas garisan itu dan lagi dan lagi ia menjadi tebal menemui had nya dan pensel ku , kusedari dakwat nya sudah kontot .

Aku telah terlalu biasa selesa dengan papan kekunci dan tetikus .

ProjectW Closed =(

I'm shocked to hear that ProjectW is closing down. I've been with the forum for more than a year and this is so sad for me. They provide EVERYTHING from mp3s to application and warez. It is also been said that the forum has more than 400,000 members. The owner is selling the domain(not sure if including servers), and I hope somebody will buy them. See digg.

Mawi.. Mawi, cemane laa kau boleh termasuk dalam paper.

Merepek di Waktu Cuti

Walaupun rini Ahad, aku kena pi keja gak. Pegawai IT la katakan kehkeh, Ahad pun kena kerja. Keluar je dari rumah, feh, memang best. Sebab LINE CLEAR, clean, kosong, takde orang (rasa nak lari lari). Tak macam hari biasa, kereta berduyun-duyun buat serabut otak aku je. Yang nak pergi keja sorang je, tapi yang wat penuh kat jalan raya tu, kereta-kereta. Tu yang aku tak paham tu.

Cam biasa la, kalau dah line clear, aku pun wat track racing la. Hehe. Taram sekali 150kmh. Tapi tak puas hati lagi. Kasi tunduk sket - 165 je. Dah tak larat kuda sakti aku nih. Hurmm...memang kene angkat CBR la. Tapi bila la ye...(ade je nanti yg sound, tak puas accident ke) uish, jgn ckp camtuh..hehe...

Ni tengah tak sabo ni. Dah plan ngan Kev nak men es sketing. Entah tetibe sejak dua menjak ni asyk nak try bende yang takde kene mengena dgn komputer je. Rasa nak rasa dunia luar. Banyak dalam kepala otak ni nak wat, seperti...ade laa...hehe. Aku penah la tanye Amri, die nak wat sukan pe kalau ade peluang - Sky Diving. Pergh..

Dah 20 tahun ni, baru rasa hayat manusia ni kejap je. Tup tap tup tap dah 40 tahun, 60,70 pastu masuk kubur. Banyak mana la amal aku ni ye. Hurmm...
