Found this link on Popular Science where they teach you how to replace the batteries on the first generation iPod. I dont have problems with dead batteries yet but got to remember this url when it does give way soon.

Got sent to Jakarta for a week, its a little boring here. Staying at the Crowne Plaza and everytime the taxi pulls into the hotel lobby driveway, there will be security guards checking the car boot & underside, presumeably for bombs etc.

THere’s a shopping centre next to the hotel but its also quite empty. Was there last night for a Caramel Frapuccino, and starbucks here is relatively cheap.

Gearing up for work during the weekend.

Spending the weekend in Singapore and just went over to Funan Centre today to check out the price of the WiFi routers and you won’t believe it… the Linksys Wireless B with 4 port router is going for S$105 each! I’ve got 2 with me now, and I hope I didn’t buy all the stock because there was just 2 on the shelf.

Been a bad week for my car. Last Thursday night the power window was jammed the window would not close all the way. When it happened it was something like 10pm already, so there’s no workshop anywhere that opens at that time, so I had to run the risk of parking my car with the window halfway down.

Was in MidValley Megamall this weekend and bought a Malaysian Airlines ticket to New York for some ridiculously cheap prices. Now I’ve got something like 9 months of planning to do.

Received my replacement Compact Flash card from Hong Kong again (256Mb Sandisk) and I still have problems using it with my Canon S30.

Dammit… first day at work and I realised that my office proxy blocks port 8087, meaning that I can’t access my new webmail that comes with this webhosting service. Someone suggested the freeware httport but it seems it doesn’t work either, need to have a server outside my company’s proxy that runs htthost.

Managed to get the webmail to work (sort of) by using mail2web and logging in using advanced mode. It works because mail2web uses normal HTTP port (8080?).

Worked on the new look and feel for the whole website and managed to upload at least the index page and the gallery front page. Will be working on the rest as the time goes by, knowing that I will start work this thursday after a long break.
