Sphere | Escape From The Locked Room


[Screen cap from n e u t r a l ]

This is another "Escape from the room" game. At the link below the game, there is a hint section to help solving the puzzle. I too, used the hint to complete the game. I like the rendering of the game, please set the color to 32-bit for best viewing.

The game has some variation, so it might be different in terms of maybe the password, color coding and etc. So, it could be different every time you use a different computer or laptop.

Enjoy the game !!!

Famous Buildings | Lightbox 2

Using Lightbox 2 to display the following pictures. To see the visual effect, please wait for your browser to load completely before clicking on the images. It works on Javascript.



I have seen this effect a couple of times in the Internet, but have got no idea how it is being done. For you people who too seen this effect but not sure of the name of this script or how to do it, lucky you to come to this blog then.

Due to some issues, using Lightbox 2 on blogger has taken me quite some time(half a day) to fix the problem, or rather going round the problem. This is just because I want to have the pictures stored in picasaweb album. I will wait a few days and test the pictures again.

If you use wordpress instead of blogger, there is a plugin for Lightbox 2

Updated 31.Oct.07:
Not too sure why it is not working. My guess would be that there are changes to the link

X Craft 250 Lite | Cooler Master

It time of the year to do some backing up of my data from my T43 Thinkpad and my bro's desktop. I should get my laptop for a overhaul, formating, vacuming, etc.. Got a Western Digital 2.5", 120GB hardisk. Walked around in Sim Lim Square to find a nice case from Cooler Master. This is the lite version, meaning it does not have the full set of accessories. Cost below S$30, not too expensive, no backup button, good enough for me.













Note: For those who does this on your own, please go online go register your WD hardisk. Oh, I got to admit that the photo taken are not too nice. Better to look up the official website.

The IT Crowd | Anti-Piracy Commercial


Are you a "pirate"? Check out below for the anti-piracy commercial clip (YouTube)



If you are interested in comedy from UK, please check out the official site and maybe buy the first series of the show. For people who are in the IT department or industry, it will be great if the events in the show happen in real life. 6 episodes in the first season and for the second season, it is still at episode 3.

Its funny, hilarious, makes you exercise much of your lungs and some stomach muscle. Enjoy.

Web 2.0 | Tag Cloud


[Image from wiki]
I am still making small changes to this plain simple blog, which uses standard templates from blogger. Added a Tag Cloud on the bottom right column. Clicking on it will bring you to the labeled posts. You noticed that the texts come with different sizes and colors. The larger the size mean that there are more posts on that particular tag or label.

For people who uses Gmail often, should be familiar to the term "Tag" or "Label". I think this is a good idea of tagging or labeling information that surround us everyday. This is definitely more flexible then storing Email into folders, where we have to start thinking what is the best way to sort them into into more sub-folders.

Business Trip to Taichung, Taiwan

For almost the whole of last week, I was in Taiwan for product tranining. The implication would be that I will be more busy in the subsequent months to come and I should not get kick out of the company any time soon. It was an intensive of full 4 days of lectures with some hands on. Apparently, some key personal who was in-charge of mostly Aisa region for a certain product left the post. Thus, that market was split to the rest of the subsideries.

I reach Taichung on Sunday, 11pm and check into a hotel. The hotel was nice. It was built slightly more than 1 year ago. I loved it. It has almost everything that you could have asked for. It has amble walking space, LCD tv (plus a small one in toilet), coffee maker, water dispenser, laptop, printer, internet connection...








[Hotel on the left]

On the wednesday evening after a dinner (buffet style), we went to the nearby night market with some korean collegues.

After all the training, we left for Taipei on thurday evening. Our flight was on friday afternoon, thus we only the night and the next morning to explore Taipei. On the way to Howard Plaza Hotel, taffic was still ok. It seems like bike is the more popular mode of transport here. Full of bikes everywhere. We were lucky, we got a free upgrade to a suite, nice!!!

As recommanded by the Taxi driver, we went to one of the largest night market in Taipei. We skipped dinner for some street side food.

[Yummy]


The next morning, we took a walk to 101, still the tallest building in the world. We had wanted to take a lift up, but it only start at 10am and we had to leave hotel by 11am. We did not have the chance. We took a break

Overall, the training trip was successful, but we did not have much time to do more shopping for clothes. Maybe the next holiday trip would be to Taipei...
