Consistency

Photos taken from a Shell petrol station near the Berakas roundabout:

So I went to fill the car up with some petrol and I was thinking to myself “okay, I’m going to get Premium Ron 97 (the one with the green handled pumps / green colour)” but when I saw that first sign, I was taken aback and was left wondering. Until I saw the following and was relieved to find out my brain isn’t deteriorating faster than I think it was/is.

Why Consistency is Critical.

So the ‘correct’ colour petrol grades are as follows:

Green Premium Ron 97
Red Super Ron 92
Black Diesel

I think….

Livelink Errors

May 15, 2008 by thewheat

So I got the following these 2 errors with Livelink on Monday when trying to save a workflow

  • Upload Error: Upload of Workflow changes failed and was aborted due to a communications error. Your workflow is still unsaved. Sorry.
  • Input Stream Read Error: Failed Input Stream read from localhost because of exception access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission http.strictPostRedirect read)

livelinkErrors

Never had these errors before and after some investigation the problem was…. Firefox! Using Internet Explorer was fine. The strangest thing is that when I create a new workflow in Firefox and save it, there’s no issue, but when I open this particular workflow and make any sort of change it throws those errors (I could even open the workflow, make no changes and save it).

P.S. ScribeFire isn’t uploading images, go figure, so Windows Live Writer to the rescue. Live Writer is feature rich and with a sweet WYSIWYG editor but I rather not open another application just to blog. Simplicity FTW!

P.P.S. I found the problem with ScribeFire: use split-screen mode instead of opening in a new tab. I remembering having an issue with new tab opening and image upload not being there. It’s similar to this:

One thing though I had previously mentioned, the new “Upolad Via API”
option for the image uploader that was included in version 1.3.5 is not
available when the editor is opened in a tab.

A tribute to my old gaming days

It's *almost* enough to make me want to redo high school.

But I would make more sense if there ever was a prom prom. The only prom I attended was Promqueen.tv

The speed tests so far

As the guy from Berakas continues to do us a great service I thought I’d help chip in with this Google spreadsheet Mobile Broadband Speeds Tests - Brunei: Comparisons (http://snipurl.com/gozoom).

Why didn’t they have this when I was still studying?

Ubuntu for Malaysian - sebuah blog tentang Ubuntu. I guess I would have learned Malay better though I doubt I would have used any of the terms I know in any karangan (composition).

Anyway bro in Japan (a play on the name TV in Japan which I heard from Tekzilla) got a nice post on “What do you want out of life?” which is indeed a question we should all ask ourselves to achieve true enlightenment nirvana happiness?

For those who have seen RSS in plain english I just saw the My Maxis ad on Astro. Wonder if they hired The Common Craft guys to do it…

An Experience

May 5, 2008 by thewheat

So the other day when I was using the office’s spare LCD monitor it just suddenly died so boss had me bring it to Komputer Wisman as they are an “HP Premier Business Partner and an HP Authorised Service Delivery Partner” and the dead monitor was an HP. So anyway I brought the monitor there and told them that I don’t have the warranty details and boss asked me to have it fixed. After some testing the backlight seemed problematic so they recommended to just buy a new one. So I took the LCD monitor to the car and drove off after telling boss that they recommended buying a new one, thinking boss would ask me to buy a new one. Then he asked me to ask them how much they are selling LCD monitors. Doh! Drove one round and parked back in the same parking and heading to the sales unit as opposed to the service center. Asked the guy a few questions and he was insistent on whether the service guys checked the serial number on the broken LCD. As it turns out they can check the warranty online even though the stuff is from KL. So I went back to the service center and the guy told me that monitors are not covered so oh well. But I did ask the sales guy about the HP 2133 Mini-Note and he did say that it’ll be here next week for launch but may not be available to the public. I wonder if I can get a sneak peek and hands on =p Please salesman John (who I highly commend on your service), please?
