Snippets about my silence, and insights on Vista
Alright haven’t found much time to blog lately (for 3-4 days already) and due to my crazy working hours… starting at 2 pm and ending at 11 pm everyday. And yes I cannot get up in the morning and usually I get up in time for lunch or for driving lessons (YES I AM ONLY LEARNING NOW). Coupled with some flu and cough lately it really spoils my mood to blog and I can’t stay up as late as I used to (need to recover mah).
Oh yes btw I am now “curi tulang”-ing at my workplace at Giant Kelana Jaya to write this blog post.
But the past few days have been rather… fun… in a different way. For the better part of yesterday and today (and tomorrow there’s another appointment) I have been spending hours at customer’s houses setting up iZZi’s internet connection since Scream-X’s connection by TM Nut have been causing them a lot of headaches. There were also problems with wireless routers and wireless USB adapters. I am rather amazed that people look at me and expect me to solve their router and internet configuration headaches. I also least expect myself to be some tech guy who knows a lot about how to configure computer stuff (but of course I did not disappoint them and solved whatever computer troubles that they had =P )
Frankly, I am just a tech-savvy user. But incidentally I want to study Electrical and Computer Engineering given my interest in comp stuff. So perhaps i can be a real tech-genius in the future managing a company of tech-geniuses.
Random - Advice for people who want to use Vista: Don’t do it. Keep your XP. Seriously. Recently-leaked e-mails between Microsoft employees show that even Microsoft employees were aware that present computers do not have enough specifications to run Vista smoothly. Read more here and here. Skeptical? Ask your friend who just bought a Vista-powered computer recently. (Unless you have 4GB RAM, your computer will be slow and bound to hang) If you have the cash, get a Mac. (which is the main reason why I am working now, to save enough for a Macbook Pro)

Eh. My New PC on Vista runs fine with 2GB of RAM. Can’t seem to fill it. Your customers main main video editing? Ok lah if you know how to jemput babi ke rumah. What to do? Microsoft likes to kill their operation system - eg. Office 2007 will not run on windows 2000! Some stupid module in installation file checks to see if you are at least loyal enough to use XP… and above.
haha yeah some are OK with Vista but some are not… so it depends la… as for me… I am heading for a MAC!!!
oh and i was more like referring to upgrading to Vista from XP. Perhaps new machines have less trouble with Vista
Yeah, Mine is new… but yeah.. drivers are still a pain in the posterior. SADLY. For the Bill Gates reason above, I’ll need Vista either way. ;(
Great to have a free Chess game and a retarded dress-up-the-stupid-cartoon-dweeb-game, as well as a few ORIGINAL, GENUINE, 9 BILL GATES APPROVED songs (The new Windows Media Player has more than the Scherzo Beethoven 9th Symphony and Highway Blues!) as complememntary!
He has bad taste man… those songs… ahaha maybe that’s why he is now No. 3 richest in the world instead! Nah… just kidding.
