Got myself a Bose Companion 2 Series II Multimedia Powered Speakers from ATLAS (Plaza Singapura) for S$199 to replace my old Creative Inspire 4400 4.1 Speakers.

My mom sent me this funny email about cows and corporation. If you seen it before, pardon me for being slow.

TRADITIONAL CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

Been staying in school till 1am since last week, rushing my CS3216 project. I am gotten so sick of Facebook programming especially having to wait for 10 seconds for the page to load each time I changed something. I think Facebook should have some sort of “offline” Facebook, where we can deploy it on our localhost and test it first before uploading it to a live server.

On Friday, I stayed till about 1am in school, after school went to Li Xiang’s house for supper as she specially prepared the supper for me. After supper, she surprise me with a penguin sewing. I always call her penguin because last time she walked like one. She dare not touch raw meat at all, but after realizing that Bacon is a raw meat, it was kinda too late for anything to be done. LOL

Dell really has great customer service. If you all want to get anything from Dell, do let me know, I will introduce the sales representative from Dell that I bought my monitor from.

My monitor came earlier than I expected in 2 ways:
1. According to Dell Support Order Status page, it was supposed to be delivered to me on the 21st April 2008. However, yesterday, I received an SMS as well as an email asking me to confirm the delivery of my monitor on the next day (which is today) and I was so delighted to hear that.
2. My delivery time slot was supposed to be from 2 pm to 6 pm today, however, I got woken up by the doorbell sound at 12.03 pm and there is it, the delivery man with my monitor.

Below are the specifications that I planned for my new computer which I am going to get after my exams (mid May 2008):

The pricing is dated on 5th April 2008 from Fuwell.

Prior to my ordering of Dell Monitors, my desktop computer crashed after 15 minutes into a demonstration of a 3D application. It always happen when I run 3D applications. But this time after it crashes and reboots, it can’t detect my Ethernet Card (Intel PRO/1000 CT Network Connection) which is embedded on my motherboard. I tried installing drivers but it still does not work. I got quite pissed off with it and hence I formatted my computer. Even after formatting, it still cannot detect my Ethernet Card. I got even more pissed and feel like throwing my computer out of the window or even smashing it with my hands.

I left my computer as it is and went to pick LiXiang up. We went to Jurong Point for dinner and on the way I bought a Linksys Wireless G Adapter (WUSB54G). This is the second time I am buying this adapter. The first time I bought it for my camp and then after I ORDed, I sold it to Laily for half price and now I am buying it again for S$59.00.

Placed and confirmed my order for Dell 2408WFP UltraSharp 24 Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor and Dell E228WFP Entry 22 Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor.

The 2408WFP is for myself and it is retailing at S$958.72 and the E228WFP is for my brother and it is retailing at S$408.74.

Disney and Pixar unveiled their complete animated movie line-up from 2008 to 2012 today at a press conference in New York. Featured in their announcement is a diverse and ambitious slate of 13 new animated feature films, most of which will be featured in 3D. As has been the case recently, Disney will be releasing two major animated movies per year – one Pixar and one Disney. Starting in 2009, however, we’ll be treated to 2 Pixar movies per year: 3D versions of Toy Story (in ’09) and Toy Story 2 (in ’10) as well as Up (in ’09) and Toy Story 3 (in ’10) and Newt and The Bear and the Bow (in ’11). In addition, Pixar also announced a new movie – Newt – for 2011. Disney also has a promising line-up of their own, including an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story titled King of the Elves.

As you may or may not know, “Tube” is the codename for the next S60 touch screen aka iPhone killer from Nokia. The OS behind it is the 5th generation of the S60.

Of course, it has a pretty respectable list of features, starting with a great high resolution (16:9) touch screen, larger than 3" but still smaller than 3,5". Yes it has a camera, a decent auto focus one that is way better than the one that we can find on an iPhone but still not as good as on the latest Nseries devices!
