Looking Back 2010
Posted by Lester Chan at 11:50 in Blog

In my last year blog post, Looking Back 2009, I stated that I wanted to find a job, which I did, as a Web Engineer at mig33 and I started officially on the 1st February 2010. I have been with mig33 for almost 1 year, how time flies!

Last year I spend New Year’s Eve watching Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 at VivoCity and this year I will be spending it inside the Cinema, watching The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and Paul Bettany at Orchard Cineleisure.

For my 2011 resolution/wish, I would like to visit the US or any country with snow! I have not seen let alone touch snow in my 26 years of life before (Snow City is not counted as it is crap). I am so going to make this wish comes through. Tentatively planning to go to the US in December 2011.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers, visitors and supporters a very Happy New Year 2011! HUAT AH (hokkien word for prosperity)!

Konnect SynCharger
Posted by Lester Chan at 00:38 in Case, Dock & Bag

With gadgets comes the amount of messy wires and power sockets needed if you want to charge them simultaneously.

Been eying on a charging station in particular the Bluelounge’s Refresh for a few days, it is very hard to find in Singapore. I went to all the Apple stores in Orchard and VivoCity and only EpiCentre at Ion Orchard carries it, but there is only 1 and only set left which is pink (selling for SGD$138)! The sales personnel told me that the supplier ran out of Black and White stock.

End up I went to Best Denki at VivoCity and got the Konnect SynCharger instead for SGD$129. The only three advantages that the SynCharger have is that it is able to charge iPad, sync to your computer while charging and 4 USB ports that allows you to charge any USB devices. The Refresh on the other hand has much better looks with 3 fix charging heads and 2 USB ports and is not able to charge iPad nor sync with your computer while charging.

I hope I will see the light of induction charging going mainstream!

lesterchan.net Will Be Offline For A Few Hours
Posted by Lester Chan at 16:48 in Site

*UPDATE* And we are now back up after about 3 hours of downtime!

This site will be offline for a few hours between 10pm 18th December 2010 (GMT +8) to 6am 19th December 2010 (GMT +8) for migration of server rack.

Details as followed:

There will be a scheduled relocation of co-location server rack space within the data centre at Creative Resource (the “Data Centre”).

This scheduled migration is part of M1 Net Ltd (M1 Net)’s ongoing endeavors to progressively upgrade the facilities and services. This upgrade will help to prevent potential network failures, optimize the network’s redundancy resources, and maintain the network infrastructure with up-to-date industry standard protocols.

The new racks are designed to incorporate an Earth Leak Relay (ELR) system and will be linked to dual power supply feeders and each individual rack will be linked to a different Distribution Board and UPS. With the ELR incorporated design, the new racks will have greater tolerance for power trip failure and will offer better protection to your servers from any power disruption caused by other end users’ servers/racks. This will also help to ensure the continued efficiency of the network to better serve your needs and requirements.

Please be assured that there will be no change in your service offerings and that as our valued customer, you will continue to enjoy the same quality of service as before.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused =)

HTC 7 Mozart
Posted by Lester Chan at 00:08 in Gadget

Got myself the HTC 7 Mozart as my own Christmas present from Mobile Square. They are selling it for SGD$670 without contact. I traded in my Nokia N82 for SGD$140 and my mom’s iPhone 3G (16GB) for SGD$270. Ended up paying only just SGD$260 for the phone.
