The Old PowerBook

My Powerbook G4 are 4 years old, help me a lot in my design journey, i would say it is a very nice laptop compare to those Windows based computer(s) that i used before.

我的 PowerBook G4 跟了我四年了,在我的设计旅程上帮助了我很多,我会说它是一台很棒的笔电,比起那些我曾用过的Windows电脑好多了。

* When in year 2004, with my first Apple Laptop - PowerBook G4
* 2004年,与我的第一台Apple笔电 - PowerBook G4

Because it is too old, and cannot perform some advanced tasks, although it’s still good in performing basic task like checking emails, web surfing, document works and some basic graphic works, it’s just cannot achieve some of the latest multimedia works requirement, also, there are many scratchers on the housing, and the battery is drain off very fast.

So is time to say good bye my old friend, you have fulfill your destiny, and is time for you to rest at home as my backup mac.

因为它已经很旧很老了,也不能做一些比较进阶的运作,虽然它在一些基本上的运作如查电邮、上网、文书工作与一些基本的图像处理还算可以,但它就是不能达到近年来的多媒体工作上的要求,而且在外壳伤有很多的瑕疵、损伤,电池也很快就没电了。

所以是时候和这位老朋友说再见了,你已经完成了你的使命,现在是让你在家里休息的时候了,做我的后备Mac吧。

The New MacBook

Because all these reasonable reasons, i had made a decision to go for a new MacBook. Before that i was struggled should i go for Desktop iMac or Laptop MacBook, but based on the hardware specification and portable reason, i decided to go for new MacBook last saturday, bought it from Moorey from IT Fusion.

因着这些有理的理由,我决定选择新的MacBook。在这之前我也很挣扎应该买iMac还是新的MacBook,但按照硬件的比例与方便携带的理由,于是在上个星期六从 IT Fusion的Moorey 那里购买了新的MacBook

Apple is getting “Green”

Apple products is getting more “green”, which mean it is highly recyclable and even more energy efficient, the new MacBook is designed with the environment in mind, and the packaging are made from recycled material, the new MacBook packaging is 41 percent smaller than the previous generation. Save the planet huh? But i find it is nice, i like the idea, although they took away some accessories like Mini-display port DVI cable.

苹果的电脑将会朝向“绿色”,意思是更加环保的并且可以再循环使用,新版的MacBook在包装上设计也更加的节省,比起上一代的包装小了41%。拯救地球huh? 但我觉得还不错,我还蛮喜欢他们这点,虽然他们已不附上一些零件如Mini-Display port DVI cable。

Overview

It is really a beautiful machine, compare with previous generation. From internet there are some people don’t like the glossy screen because of reflection issue, especially when in a very bright environment. But it look fine to me, not really sure why they have to work under the sunlight. Beside that, the only feedback is they took away the FireWire port from MacBook, only MacBook Pro got FireWire port, but is 800 port, which mean all the old 480 port are not able to use it. For me is fine, i don’t usually work on Video editing stuff, so i don’t need that, and most of the new video camera in the market are recognize by iMovie with USB 2.0 port, this shouldn’t be a problem for new vesion of iMovie.

比起上一代,它真的一台很漂亮的机器。在网上有一些网友不喜欢它的光泽萤幕,因为在太亮的地方也会有反光的问题,但对我来说还好,我不明白他们为什么要在太阳底下使用笔电。除了这个,还有一个feedback就是他们把FireWire插口从MacBook上拿走,虽然MacBook Pro有但却是新的800插口,而不是一般使用的480插口,这对那些有做视讯编辑而硬件又无法让Mac连接的朋友是一个问题,但对我来说还好,我也很少做视讯处理,而且现在的录像机都会使用USB 2.0了,这对新版的iMovie来说应该不是问题。

Why i choose MacBook instead of MacBook Pro?

Basically it is much better than other models, according to the hardware specification, this one should be enough for me to use for less than 3 years.

some of my friends curious why i don’t go for MacBook Pro instead of MacBook, because i think all these laptop hardware specification standard can only last for 3 years, even you bought a powerful MacBook Pro now, 3 years later you will discover it cannot compare to those new models, so i won’t spend too much on this, i just need a apple laptop that can fulfill my requirement within these 3 years that is ok for me.

At least when that time come, and you want to change to another new one, you won’t felt “struggle”. My old PowerBook G4 is an example, when i bought it few years back, it cost me RM7999 !! And Now? I don’t think people will buy from me if i selling it at RM1000, even there is, you will not sell it coz you find it is not worthy.

This is the reason why i choose MacBook instead of MacBook Pro

基本上它都比起现有的Apple笔电好很多,按照硬件的标准,这台笔电应该够我用上三年。

身边有些朋友会好奇我为什么不买MacBook pro而买MacBook,那是因为我认为这些笔电的技术,只可以维持三年的电脑硬件标准,就算你现在是买MacBook pro,很贵很强,但三年后也比不上那些新版的技术了,所以我不会花太多钱在这方面,只需要一台可以满足我这三年里的需求就ok了.

至少到时再换一台新的你不会那么心疼。不像我那台旧的PowerBook G4 15″inch,那时买可要花上RM7999的价钱,现在呢?RM1000不知道会有人要吗?有你也不想卖。

这就是我选购买MacBook而不买MacBook Pro的原因。

Apple logo is still shining.

我还蛮喜欢上网买东西,当然我只会去那些值得信赖的网站买,这家来自香港的网站不错,他们把你的东西包装到很好,而且快递也很准时,以下是我订购的物品,才少过USD 70,在本地买不到,就算有价钱也比较贵。

I like online shopping, and i only shop with those websites that i can trust, this website from Hong Kong is pretty cool, they packed your stuffs properly, and fast in shipping.

I ordered all these stuffs with just less than USD 70 something :

  • 1 x Frosted Hard Cover for iPhone, USD $22.90
  • 1 x iPhone 3.5mm Earphone Adapter, USD $ 2.90
  • 1 x Emergency Battery, USD $ 29.90

It is much more cheaper compare with local, and i don’t think i can find this product from local Apple shop.

马来西亚的治安亮红灯了,这是大家都知道的,古晋最近越来越多闯屋抢劫案件,匪徒越来越猖狂,我家里只安装了这类型的Alarm system:



但这类型的警报器有用吗?我们都在楼上睡觉,就算是贼进来了,警报器响了,但你敢下去看发生什么事吗?有很多案件就是因为屋主下楼去看才被威胁的,有些是拿其他人做人质,比如孩子老人家等等。而且就算全部人躲在房间里不出来,那你还谁得着吗?又不敢下楼看,又不知道该不该报警,我看要是警报器真的响你也只有整晚睡不着了。

但往往都是因为有东西爬过飞过motion detector才引起警报器的,比如猫、老鼠、壁虎、苍蝇啦等等的(其它的我想不可能了,那很诡异叻~)

我本身前两次也有这样的经历,就是警报器响了,半夜两人都睡不好。。。因为睡不着了,也不敢下楼看。

单单警报器是没用的,现在的贼也不怕这些玩意了,与其说是贼,不如直接称它们为“抢匪”好了,它们现在猖狂到邻居都不怕了,我们还说什么彼此守望相助?只能自己保护自己了,马来西亚人,醒醒吧~还靠那些慢吞吞的“人民英雄”来救你?还是合起双手祷告上帝救你好了,他们只是负责来帮你报个案、拍几张照片就不了了之了,而那些匪徒早就在回家路上了。

所以家里要安装闭路电视,最好是那些可以在夜间使用的(night vision),这样就算是晚上一样可以在房间里观察到底住家里外发生了什么事,市场上有很多选择,但我的lobang不错,买了一台比市场上便宜的Wireless Security camera x 2 with receiver, up to 4 channels,可以同时观察4个channels, 还有night vision哦,而且Minimum illumination 1.0lux/F2.5 and 0 lux (IR ON)

Specification规格:

  • 380TV lines clear picture dislplay. (画面超清)
  • Built in 8 IR lights for 7m night vision range. (夜间也可以看得蛮清楚, 7meter)
  • Weather proof design for outdoor usage. (防水,安装在住家外面没问题)
  • Channel scan and channel skip for multi-camera usage. (转换频道、顺序转换功能)
  • 4 channels available to avoid interference. (4个频道)
  • Bulit in microphone for audio monitoring. (有声,超清楚)
  • Min.100m transmission distance without blocks. (100m 无线覆盖范围,无阻碍物)

无需电脑,无需VCR,只要直接插入电视的Audio video in就可以使用,当然,如果你要在电脑上录制,只要你电脑支持Audio Video in(红白黄电线),使用那些录制软件就可以录制了,网络上一大堆。不然直接用VCR录制也可以。

坦白说我不会花那种时间,警报器一响最想做的什么?就是要知道发生什么事和保住性命就是了,还record来干嘛?对方会笨到不蒙着脸进来给你拍它的脸?它们也会进步的好不好,用脑用脑。


安装很简单,自己DIY就可以了,连10岁小孩都可能会装。


安装位置要确定可以拍摄到你要观察的角落,还有尽量不要离观察角度太远,7m max.


我把它们藏得好好的,你如果来我家没留意不会发现它们的。

接受器设计得还蛮新潮呢,有可以移动的天线,已调整最好的接收讯号。

还有遥控器,很小,也很容易上手,功能齐全。


这是白天的讯号,其实是很清楚的,只是我的相机拍摄的不是很清楚,而且对着电视拍,很难拿到清楚的画面,但在电视上观看是很清楚的,当然你可以另购多两个camera,因为max是4个channels,要是你住家的插头部位不方便而又不想在另外牵电线,你可以选择使用电池,但9v的电池只能支持5-6个小时。

好了,安装好后,当下次发生以上这类事件时,就快快打开电视看下面发生什么事


这样,就能确定楼下发生了什么事了,如果一切妥当,就继续睡觉吧~ 但如果是有人,那就赶快确定房门锁住然后用重物堵住,再打电话求救,打给谁呢?我会劝你先打给亲戚朋友,他们会来得比那些穿制服的快很多,至少他们会想办法救你。

当然,以上这些只能拖延和保住你的人命,如果那些不是人的禽兽硬要破门而入,你只能曾他们还未进到你的房间前快离开现场。

记得,合起双手先祷告,这个时候上帝才能救你。

如果你对以上器材有兴趣,欢迎你写信来询问价钱,我不会在这里公开卖,等下那些卖这类器材的人会说我抢生意的。

yellow watch - bought by Alvin

uploaded by mobile

家里的tm net down, 现在睡不着,只好用手机写部落格,很曳吧?哈哈,以前偶而会玩玩,已经很久没用手机写部落格了。可是还是用电脑比较好,用手机的按扭输入中文字很慢。

下午去找Alvin,他刚去新加坡回来,叫他帮我买手表,看到这黄色手表时,我也不知该怎么反应,不是不喜欢啦,只是没想过会戴黄色的手表,其实还好啦alvin,我没有不喜欢,只是一时反应不过来罢了,放心,你都不收$我哪里敢“hyam”le?
谢谢咯

终于回来古晋,感觉一切都慢了下来,
我想,这样的日子会比较适合我吧?
这几天在SG那种人人忙碌让人无法轻松下来的感觉,
突然间消失了,是回到家的缘故吗?

what ever,只知道看到Jane,看到自己的家,
就忍不住想说:“i love Kuching~ because
i like my house, i love my wife and family,
and i miss my friends”

这星期,我想我是压抑太久了,一下子买了将近20件衣物,
一半是Jane的,有些是送人的,当然….钱包真的是大大出血~
班机是晚上7:30pm的,所以还有时间做Final 血拼,
就到Baras Basah那里买吉他线,发现竟然会有Hello Kitty的电吉他,
和其他卡通人物等等,看来电吉他也要物色女生市场了,
不会有男生买吧?!

下面一张是手表,买了对情侣表,白色的,很Apple,
右边一个黑色的是新款式,很简单的设计。

也带了两个成员回来,一个是会播广播电台给你听的大鼻猪,
大鼻猪需要插电,但是使用电脑的USB插头就可以了,
扭转它的尾巴就可以调音量,按它的左耳换channel,很可爱。

另一个是天天躲在桶里向你摇头微笑的小白猫眯,
太阳能的,所以不用电,前面有个时钟,需要小电池。
它会天天向你摇头微笑,像是告诉你,要天天微笑,
不用整天脸臭,人人都怕了你呢。

除了External Hard Disk,也狠心买一个蓝牙立体声道耳机,
可以让我在Mac上连接,然后使用Skype聊天,
也可以和我的N70连接,只要安装付送的Blue Player软件,
就算N70没有A2DP support,一样可以听很好的音质。
挂在颈上,去到那里都可以听音乐,也不必带多几个物件,
也不用被缠身的线线骚扰,自由多了。

新加坡的电器真的很便宜,如果和我国比较的话,
我还打算买那里的LCD TV回来,可是这次真的太多东西了,
带不回来,唯有等下次,唉~花红看来又要泡汤了~
不过我真的买得很值得的东西,开心指数100%!
