DK9008 with black-on-black ABS key caps So, I got rid of my 20-dollar Logitech keyboard and bought my self a DK9008 mechanical keyboard from Taiwanese manufacturer Ducky Keyboard. Lame brand name aside, this is probably the best hardware investment I’ve ever made. If it were possible to marry a keyboard, I…wouldn’t but the DK9008 is [...]
I’ve been thinking of getting a netbook since the original ASUS EEE PC, the granddaddy of netbooks, reared its tiny 7″ screen into this world and some Intel marketing serf came up with the term “netbook”, which by the way makes zero sense when you stop to think about it. I blame this one on [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 moé self-help books just don’t stop coming. It has been scientifically proven that anything with the word “moé” or “tsundere” in its title will sell like hotcakes. Image from Akiba-blog From Akiba-blog: Enter 「ツンデレ☆りなっくす」 or “Tsundere Linux”, a book that supposedly teaches you about the famous open source operating system in a totally moélicious [...]
If you follow any tech blog you would no doubt have heard of the term “The Long Tail” before. It’s not an entirely new concept but it’s gaining more and more media coverage in recent years due to the success that first-generation “long tailers” such as Amazon and Google are enjoying. The Long Tail is [...]
I was looking at the visitor statistics for this site in Awstats yesterday when I noticed this… Note: August 2006 results taken on 20/08/2006. As you can see from the above rudimentary table that took all of 10 seconds to create in Microsoft Excel, Firefox-ko is now kicking IE’s sorry butt! At least amongst anime [...]
I went to IT Show 2006 at Suntec City yesterday. Xbox 360 took up a huuuge booth. Meh. Nintendo took two for some reason. And they didn’t even have any DS Lites on display. Anyway, the main reason for my trip was to splurge put my savings to good use and pick up a laptop. [...]
Feel free to try this at home. Common sense dictates that submerging your high-end PC in cooking oil is not a good idea. But, of course, engineering feats and science breakthroughs were made possible by those who dared to explore the realms of the non-conventional. Members of the Munich-based THG lab are only too happy [...]
Best /. comment ever. Santa Claus: An Engineer’s Perspective I. There are approximately 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Jehovah’s Witnesses, or Buddist religions, this reduces the workload on Christmas night to 15% of the total, or 378 million (according to [...]
