I think I've found the monitor I'll get next year! The Samsung 245BW is a 24-inch widescreen with 1920 x 1200 resolution, 5ms response time, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 3000:1 dynamic contrast and 400 cd/m2 of brightness. Images courtesy of Engadget.
Sony has announced a lighter version of the PSP at E3. It's not quite a PSP 2, more a PSP 1.5, keeping the 4.3-inch LCD and UMD but 33% lighter and 19% slimmer, with improved load times.
I caught Die Hard 4.0 on Saturday, a 150-minute film. It was slightly above average, as expected an action-packed affair with action almost throughout. Maggie Q only lasts halfway through, perhaps because she's Asian and this is a Hollywood film.
David, aka Zeus, Junyang and I have revived Frozened, now known as Frro. Do check out our web hosting plans. We've already ordered our own server from Dell and will be providing VPS solutions soon. Thank you for your support!
I'm not really a Transformers cartoon fan; I didn't watch much of it. But I love the movie, the best I've seen since Lord of the Rings. The CGI was fantastic, the storyline good, and the action almost constant.
Remix 07 is a Microsoft event for web developers, designers and businesses, held at The Arts House. It was a one-day event yesterday, Friday 29th June 2007, which I attended thanks to an invite from Nic Fillingham of Microsoft.
I've changed this site's width from 600px to 800px. Back in 2003 when I designed the layout, 800 x 600 was still a common resolution, so I chose 600px wide to suit it. Four years on, wider makes sense.
We had the annual Thai Glico dinner at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant in Marriott Hotel. The boss clearly loves Wan Hao; this is our fourth or fifth time there, a $1,000-a-table affair, always booking two tables, with free-flow drinks.
All the hype around the iPhone will soon end when it officially launches in the US on Friday, 29th June 2007. My brother is very keen. Here's why I think it'll disappoint, starting with its stripped-down mobile OS X.
I caught Surf's Up at GV Marina on a whim today. The film was rather boring, but the CGI is good, especially the water effects and animation; respect to all the CG artists. My Downloads page now runs WP-DownloadManager.
I caught Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer last Sunday, a noon show at GV VivoCity. There were lots of kids and the usual noise, but once the film began they fell quiet, well-behaved after all.
I caught Shrek 3 two weeks ago at a Friday midnight show at GV VivoCity. Li Xiang suggested it, but true to her nickname Sleepy, she dozed off before it even started, during the trailers.
It's 1st June 2007 here, so I'm proud to present updates to 12 of my 14 plugins. Most are bug fixes with some minor new features, WP-PostViews changing the most.
We all saw the multi-touch system on YouTube, but wait until you see the Microsoft Surface video; it took my breath away. The launch of Microsoft Surface marks the beginning of an entirely new category of surface computing.
My 2006/2007 Semester 2 results: A- in Computing and Society, B- in Fundamentals of Information Systems, B+ in Enterprise Systems Development, C+ in Principles of Economics and B in Financial Accounting. My CAP is 3.35.
I caught Next last week at GV VivoCity; it was slightly above average. My eyes were glued to the screen practically throughout, as it's quite an action-packed film. Next up is Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
If you want to know what flavour your Anything or Whatever drink is, just check the ingredients label, since Singapore law requires the manufacturer to state the ingredients of that specific can. A neat workaround for these deliberately mystery-flavoured drinks.
Yes! Blizzard's new game is officially StarCraft II, which I've waited ages for. The reveal opens with an FMV in a Terran-looking spaceship, zooming onto a metal door that slides open to reveal a chained, cigar-chewing prisoner.
WordPress 2.2 has been released, and as usual I've updated GaMerZ.WordPress to it. Among the goodies, WordPress Widgets let you easily rearrange and customise areas of your blog, usually sidebars, with simple drag-and-drop.
I caught 28 Weeks Later at The Cathay, my first visit there. The building is confusing and the carpark cramped, so GV VivoCity still rocks. The film was only average; I reckon 28 Days Later was better.
The Nokia N81 is a slide phone measuring 102 by 50 by 17.9mm and weighing about 140g, with 8GB internal flash, up to 12.5 hours of music playback and 15 days of standby.
I caught Spider-Man 3 at Lido with Li Xiang and her friends after a sushi buffet at Suki Sushi. That was my first and last time there, as the food is poor; Sakae Sushi is far better.
