contacts gone

paranoid — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 09:59:02 +0800

hi all, need some help, as i'm not familiar with this phone. (samsung galaxy note2)
im not sure if this is a common issue.

my mum's phone was left charging as usual, but after charging she noticed the wallpaper was different. (im assuming it's being reset)
and the worst thing is the whole contact list is gone.
there still seems to be records but all the names are appearing as "no name"

tried to set to show all contacts under settings but it's still the same.
apart from that.. some application malfunctioned also. need to reinstall to use. (firefox, skype..) not sure if this is even related.
tried to import from both SIM and phone. doesnt help

Paypal users

paranoid — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:32:10 +0800

hi my fellow gamers,
any of you ? or most of link your paypal to ur d3 ?

for my case i've only created my paypal account solely for d3, and solely for my d3 sales.
only to receive payments, and never to make any payments. im strict not to spend any money on games.

anyway. i received 3 transaction emails yesterday that my i've successfully made payment to a seller named 'sirichai supradit'. my balance went 0.

and this bugger created monthly recurrent payment of USD100+ to his account and to be charged to my paypal account. and it's directly charged into my credit card.
i went crazy and settled everything quick enough, had my bank cards replaced, called the bank to block the payment.. etc etc.

now the thing is, i have never ever used paypal for anything else except d3. no other party should be involved or know/get involed in my paypal.

my biggest guess all this happen because of blizzard, how and why. i dont konw.

just a heads up, just do frequent checks on ur accounts.

* oh ya i sent dispute to paypal, and they're processing on my refund already.. after some investigation

key bindings

paranoid — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:01:35 +0800

spamming keys perfectly can be a pain in the ass sometimes

my pinky almost froze when i had to hold the shift key down most of the time (as a ranged player)
not until i changed my key bindings

previous
[1] [2] [3] [4] [left click] [right click]
[shift]

now
[Q] [W] [E] [R] [left click] [right click]
[space]

pots just changed from [R] to [TAB]

sooo much easier..
if you haven't know
coz a lot of players still does not know they can go on elective mode for their skills.

[solved]MS Excel formula

paranoid — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:32:06 +0800

hi,
anyone good with excel?
anyone knows what formula to use in ms excel, or what is the best way to get these output:

lets say i have a list of text

Intel Xeon Processor E7-4807 6C (1.86GHz 18MB L3 95w 4S) (A123)
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4820 8C (2.00GHz 18MB L3 105w 4S) (B123)
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4830 8C (2.13GHz 24MB L3 105w 4S) (C456)
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4850 10C (2.00GHz 24MB L3 130w 4S) (D789)
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4860 10C (2.26GHz 24MB L3 130w 4S) (EFG456)
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4870 10C (2.40GHz 30MB L3 130w 4S) (ABC123)

i want to find a way to extract the codes in the brackets at the end of the text

expected output:

Intel Xeon Processor E7-4807 6C (1.86GHz 18MB L3 95w 4S) (A123) >> A123 << 4digit
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4820 8C (2.00GHz 18MB L3 105w 4S) (B123) >> B123
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4830 8C (2.13GHz 24MB L3 105w 4S) (C456) >> C456
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4850 10C (2.00GHz 24MB L3 130w 4S) (D789) >> D789
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4860 10C (2.26GHz 24MB L3 130w 4S) (EFG456) >> EFG456 << 6digit
Intel Xeon Processor E7-4870 10C (2.40GHz 30MB L3 130w 4S) (ABC123) >> ABC123

my concern is
1) i cant use =right(xxxx) function because it has inconsistent number of text within the bracket sometimes
2) i cant use search for "(" to extract the text there are other brackets within the text : for eg. (1.86GHz 18MB L3 95w 4S)

mage pve spec

paranoid — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:26:06 +0800

i been reading on how to spec my mage best for pve dps and i get a lot of different spec.

some say full fire, some say arcane/fire, and some is fire/arcane. frostfire are also recommended but a lot said that it's rather weak for pve.

any mage players? suggestions?

should i go heavy on arcane or fire instead?

warrior weapon enchant

paranoid — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 14:43:02 +0800

a simple question.

i'm playing fury warrior with both 2H weapon on me.
i had them enchanted with massacare (+110 AP) earlier, but i switched both of them to berserking (Permanently enchant a melee weapon to sometimes increase your attack power by 400, but at the cost of reduced armor. Requires a level 60 or higher item.)

does these stack? or they will just overwrite it?

i read that 2x berserking is way to go for max DPS
but the difference is not much for berserking/massacare

any advice?
oh ya.. i'm purely a PvE player, would love heavy/max DPS builds.
