No, there really is nothing wrong with the spelling 🙂 I’m just really excited that my PowerMac processor upgrade card from Gigadesigns is finally here! Ordered from Other World Computing and shipped via FedEx, my package finally got here after about 5 days (would have been faster if I hadn’t ordered just before the weekend). So what does the package look like? Well, here are some pics! So how does the new G4 1.4GHz card compare to my puny old…
One advantage that Apple touts of its .Mac service is the ability to synchronise the bookmarks of its Safari web browser between several Macs. Alas, not many people make use of this because 1) .Mac is not cheap at US$99 a year (though, granted, you do get a ton of other features with the subscription) 2) Apple’s Safari only runs on the Macintosh platform 3) Not all Macintosh users use Safari So let’s say, like me, you use the great…
I’ve been using Mozilla Firefox for a while, and in my opinion it is the BEST web browser right now.

I was looking around the big Sony shop at Bugis Junction, and what should I see but the much sought after white coloured Sony EX71SL in-ear headphones (at least I THINK they are anyway, since it’s been so damn hard to for me to find them)! Selling at S$72 after a “10% discount” (who’re they kidding? the online pricing is S$72!!), there was only..gasp!…one box left! So guess what I did? Yes faithful readers, I bought the very last one..ahahaha…
No thanks to my sister’s penchant for “trying out” software and visiting some interesting websites (using Internet Explorer, no less), my dad’s Windows XP PC was becoming more and more sluggish with each passing day. More frustratingly, a few pop-up ads would appear as soon as Internet Explorer was launched, marring the surfing experience. Now, I’ve managed to switch my dad to the superior Mozilla Firefox (and he didn’t even notice it, thanks to an Internet Explorer skin for Firefox),…
One thing that’d always bugged me about SMB printing from my Power Mac to the shared Canon S600 connected to my dad’s Windows XP PC was that the print quality had been unsatisfactory: either the colours are “off” or too faded, and no amount of tweaking of print settings helped. (Text printing looks OK though). It looked like, at least where my particular Canon printer is concerned, Gimp-Print drivers simply don’t cut it for graphics. (OS X 10.3 comes with…
