Turns out I haven’t been able to make the time for any sort of gaming since my last post. Sigh. Looks like my lightsabre wielding fantasies will have to go unsatiated for the time being :p Ok back to the topic at hand.. I’ve owned Palm (now PalmOne) handhelds for several years now, and currently I own the Zire 71 which is really considered rather “antique” in these days of high-tech gadgetry. Since starting work as a teacher though, I’ve…
Did you know that it was possible for a 1.8GHz-class PC to boot into WindowsXP, load the desktop screen…and load…and load…and load…and load till it suddenly ran out of Virtual Memory? Well, I didn’t know either: at least till I took a look at the PC my cousin sent in for me to take a look at. Turns out that his sons installed just about every adware available, probably without knowing what they really were. It didn’t help that the…
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…

I’ve been using Mozilla Firefox for a while, and in my opinion it is the BEST web browser right now. I’m not just talking about surfing speed though: there’re also other things you don’t get in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Apple’s Safari, like user-installable themes, extensions (like plug-ins that enhance the functionality of the web browser) and control over pop-up ads.

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),…
