… and it’s gonna be between Germany and Costa Rica. That’s when jason chatted with me over MSN. Here’s a chatlog for your laughter (pardon the expletives, that’s what you’d get trying to wait up for World Cup matches, especially since I just watched The Godfather 1 to waste the time before kickoff)

Earlier today….

Belle says:

what’s the difference btwn DVD+ and DVD-   

auyongtc says:   

positive and negative   actually…

Belle says:   

thanks. -.-;;;;   

auyongtc says:   

both are different writing methods 

on different media

Belle says:   

which one is better?   

auyongtc says:   

no big deal  if your drive supports both

Belle says:   

my note book is sony vgn s28lp   

auyongtc says:   

just buy the blank DVD disk that is cheaper  lol

if supports only + then use + disk

Belle says:   

and it seems ODD; DVD+-RW 

i think it means supports both?

right?

so whic h one is beter?

better? dvd- or dvd+?

auyongtc says:   

yeah  it supports both

there is no better or not

Belle says:   

ODD: DVD±RW 

auyongtc says:   

yeah, that means support both   

Belle says:   

should be…  so which one should buy?

auyongtc says:   

whichever cheaper  lol Belle says:   

same price   

auyongtc says:   

that’s all that matters 

then whichever you like

if you’re a positive person, buy +

if you’re a negative person, buy -

Belle says: 

i am a neutral person   

auyongtc says:

then buy both, and burn 2 copies  use the + copy when you’re feeling positive

Belle says:   

it will be too much~   

auyongtc says:   

and vice versa  then you decide whether you wanna be positive or negative

Belle says:  u r funny   

auyongtc says:   

i’m so gonna blog this!  

Finally got my FTTH service installed at home. For 2,980 yen a month, it’s crazy speed at 100Mbps!

Preliminary testing showed that I was downloading the latest Linux kernel (2.6.15.1) from a Japan mirror site at over 1 megabyte per second. Then I realized I was on 802.11G Wi-Fi, so I reckon it could’ve been much faster if I was connected over Fast Ethernet instead.

Gonna have more elaborate tests these few days. Before that, let me explain how FTTH works in my apartment:

The fiber connection comes into the building, into the riser room. And then the provider uses VDSL signals to provide access to each unit (that subscribes to the service) by tapping into the pre-installed phone jacks in each unit. Therefore, eliminating the need for a phone line! Which means I dont need to pay high price to rent/own an NTT phone line service. FTTH roxx my soxx!

Garrr, shiver me timbers!

Managed to find an open Wi-Fi AP at home finally after walking around my room with my laptop like some fengshui guy with the needle board thingy. Unfortunately, it’s at the entrance of the room and it’s quite cold there. I think I’m gonna go get myself a new Wi-Fi router and turn it into client-mode to siphon the Internet access to my laptop in my room.

My FTTH broadband access is still 2-3 weeks away. For all the fast speed, the service to get activated is damn slow, too much redtapes I guess. Oh well, gotta make do with the ‘borrowed’ Wi-Fi access for now. Gonna buy myself a desk and a chair so that I can surf with comfort at home.

P/S: new things to lookout for: young ladies in miniskirts riding bicycles… lol

Update @ 5pm: My FTTH provider called, they’re coming to install next Friday…. 1 week to go… phew…

Just found this in the Spam folder of my mailbox… OMGWTFBBQ!

Stupid idiot using spamming software didn’t put the URL in the e-mail. Haha… how to successfully phish for bank account information with that?

Despite a sucker is born every minute, an e-diot is born every second! ROTFLMAO!

Oh yeah, sorry for not blogging lately…

Stupid, right?

According to The Inquirer, a truckload of computer chips made for Maxim Integrated Products Inc worth USD 2.2 million was hijacked in Malaysia on April 16, 2005. Anyone saw this on the local newspaper?

Beware if a suspicious man in an overcoat comes up to you and offer you really cheap chips instead of fake Rolex watches in backalleys. You can always try to report that fella for up to USD 50,000 reward - an easier way to win 50k than joining the Fear Factor

I’ll never look at my wantan mee the same again, especially when I’m waiting for the seller to cook it up when I order it for take-away. First, it was the Pringles can for Wi-Fi directional antenna. And now, someone thought of using the Chinese noodles strainer (typically used by wantan mee sellers) to create a Wi-Fi dish antenna!

Don’t believe me? Check out this site - USB adaptors & DIY antenna = “Poor Man’s WiFi” ?

Finally I’m releasing a WordPress plugin - the WP-Upload Manager. This is the 3rd plugin I’ve developed, with the first 2 plugins still not ready for primetime

It’s a plugin to allow you to manage your files uploaded with WordPress’ Upload feature (that lacked features). Development of this plugin was inspired by tsewei as she ranted on and on about how WP lacked this feature

Details of the WP-Upload Manager plugin can be found here.
Additionally, all my developed plugins will be available thru this page.

Enjoy
