Hdd missing after Intel Rapid Storage Setup

Alternation — Mon, 03 Sep 2018 22:08:15 +0800

Ive just gotten my swift 3 with 128gb ssd and 1tb hdd.

When prompted Intel Rapid Storage to secure data, I went ahead and created it. Now I can only see my 128gb ssd (C: drive) and not my 1tb hdd (previously D: drive)

But in Intel Rapid Storage software, I can still see the 1tb hdd but its status is offline. Usage is recovery disk.

Anyway to undo it?

Thx

Valuer fee

Alternation — Sun, 29 Jul 2018 12:23:35 +0800

Hi sifus,

I'm getting a double story terrace from Mutiara Rini in Rini Heights Skudai.

It was completed in 2015 and wasn't sold off because it was one of the few units where the buyer failed to secure loan for it.

So far, i've signed the SPA and the loan documents with bank. I'm also supposed to receive my house key in a mth or 2.

But wht puzzled me is recently a valuer called to ask for valuing fee of rm2k+. From my experience, we only engage valuer for a sub sale. Now if even its required, who actually is responsible for the fee?

Thx in adv

Hrv v spec vs Mazda cx 5

Alternation — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 21:18:33 +0800

Honda hrv v spec (highest) otr rm118 - 120k
Category: B
Pro / cons
1) higher resell value
2) 5 years unlimited warranty
3) 6 months waiting list
4) good looking except for ugly rear lights

Mazda cx5 (lowest spec) otr rm125 - 128
Category: C
Pro:
Bigger n spacious
Bigger engine 2liter vs 1.8 liter hrv
More fun to drive
Full leather seats vs half leather hrv

Specs and price wise, cx5 looks to have the edge but hrv's resell value is very enticing since I will not hold on for more than 7 years.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Copyright Infringement

Alternation — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 12:33:44 +0800

The case goes like this.

In 2008, i was contracted by my regular client (Company A) to design a corporate profile which includes logo and graphic works such as label and other promotional materials for 'Product Z'.

Along the way, Company A appointed a dealer (Company B) to distribute 'Product Z' in Singapore.

In 2009, Company B hired me to produce a website (www.productz.com.sg) to promote 'Product Z'.

Months later, Company A requested (verbal request) me to replicate the website into www.productz.com which is owned by Company A.

Now, Company B is suing me and Company A for copyright infringement on the website.

In short, ive been made a scapegoat for a power/ownership struggle between A and B.

How do i go about it?

Hope this can be a good case study to all the designers here.

Freelance Designer Pool

Alternation — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:26:07 +0800

Hi all!

I’m looking for a pool of web designers, web programmers and also graphic designers who are interested and available to do freelance design jobs.

Basically I’m an IT consultant and my field earns me an extensive network. From this network I’m assigned to many projects by my clients and instead of giving these projects to design companies, I’m channeling it to freelancers who can take it up with professional responsibility.

You can be a student interested in earning some income to supplement your studies or fresh grads and experts in your field as long as you are interested to generate extra income.

Students and fresh graduates will be given technical and career guidance on becoming a better designer or to be better-prepared to enter the job market if they need one.

Everyone who is interested can submit their portfolio and among the pool, I will select the most suitable one or few depending on the scale of the projects which are assigned to me. The selection process will be based on the suitability of your design style and hopefully you guys are so good everyone will get a chance. Once selected, I will inform you and if you are interested, we will set an appointment so I can brief, discuss and meet you.

A simple documentation/contract will be prepared once you agree the fee which i'm going to pay you for your work and also ready to start. Payment will be quite handsome depending on the project. A bonus will be given to good performance and he/she will be front running to receive more projects.

To submit yourself to the pool, please provide

Name:

Vista Bug/Prob

Alternation — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 16:04:18 +0800

Something really F***up happened to my vista business just now. I've been using this for nearly 2 weeks already and yesterday i formated it due to its suddenly decreased of speed. When i check the cpu it was running at 100% even during idle.

After installing a fresh copy of the os with SP1, i didnt disable the UAC which i did turn off previously because i find it damn annoying. I went on to install COMODO and Avast.

While doing my work just now, suddenly vista wont allow me to open any applications at all. It also wont allow me to restart or shut it down and the alert window says i've got no permission to do all tht. I was wtf! It wont even allow me to access my user account area to disable the UAC and i can access NOTHING at ALL.

Realizing this f***up bug, i knew i hav to format the bloody thing again and before formatting again, i have to do the backups. Guess wht, it wont even allow me to copy my files to my external HD n thumbdrive! Again the alert says i got no permission! Oi, my user account is an admin acc and there is no other acc besides my admin acc!!

Luckily vista still hav safe mode feature or else all my files are gone! Bloody hell i've wasted my entire yesterday formatting it and so is today!

Anyone here suffered the prob? My advice is to turn of the UAC coz prior to this, my UAC has always been off

Noob Action script problem

Alternation — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 00:29:42 +0800

I'm facing a prob with some action scripting. Its a noob prob ...

I've got a intro.swf movie to play and at the end of the frame, its supposed to load a new movie called home.swf ...

i did something like this and when i preview it locally, it works. But not once it uploaded though. The files are in the same directory, so i very much suspect my codings are completely wrong.

It looks like this

stop();
loadMovieNum("home.swf", 0);

Advice needed for web database setup

Alternation — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 15:57:12 +0800

Hi bros, need help regarding some noob (worser thn noob coz i donno programming at all) issue here.

Currently I'm setting up a system for my client. They want an online form where applicant can fill in their details (ex. name, address, age n etc.) Besides this, they also want the form to b able to attach picture of the applicant. So once they send the form, it will be stored to a simple/basic database.

On admin site, they want to b able to access the database from their PC. If possible, the acess to the database must be in some layout/interface where they can see the applicant's data and pix. For ur info, the admin site staffs generally have basic IT knowledge and providing them basic interface will certainly make their life alot easier.

I need advice for the most suitable database system which also comes with a basic local access interface capability. Besides tht, i also need solution for the best and most suitable prog language to be used to send the form to the database. The database need not be very hi-tech coz their database is not a huge 1. Short to say, the simpler and cheaper ... the better coz this is just a very small company.

p/s: do refer to the diagram attached

TQ
