setting up private network tower

cruel_boy — Mon, 14 Dec 2015 09:24:09 +0800

Hi. Im working at very rural area where network signal is poor. Maxis and Celcom so far can make calls at certain position, but often poor line quality. Internet wise, can get G or E if go higher ground.

To approach the network provider may not be fruitful, as the users probably not many to compensate the cost of erecting a tower in that area.

But is it possible to set up a private tower/roof top antenna that would improve the network connectivity? any company that provides this sort of service? or, to approach maxis/celcom itself?

please share any info. thank you.

[WTA] using usb broadband modem with a 100m usb ca

cruel_boy — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 11:28:11 +0800

My area has very weak signal reception for data. Even with a gsm booster, im unable to improve. The signal is not stable.But i can get better reception at a small hill just behind my office. So im planning to use usb broadband modem with a 100m usb cable.

Would the distance and length of usb cable affect the performance, assuming I'm getting stable 2g/edge connection?

House mini reno

cruel_boy — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:05:20 +0800

Hi all, i got some advice to ask on house mini reno.

* old style house, over 40yo. some mini reno here and there, nothing too extraordinary
* already added one door linking master room and the car porch top, untuk sidai kain ect
* the 1st floor and car porch top elevation is 2 feet difference

My plan is as follows;

1. seal of the master room and car porch
2. do one room on top of car porch
3. place the room door on staircase walls.
4. link the room and staircase, with a door at mid-point of staircase wall, and few more steps climbing into the room.
5. extend house roof at existing gradient to cover the new room. this shud give a sleek roof look

my concerns are as follows;

1. will there be a beam across near the staircase where i intend to place door?
2. seeing as this is a semi-D house, should i seek consent from my neighbour?
3. would i need to obtain approval from local authorities for this?
4. most importantly, how much would the cost be for this extension including wiring？（coz also need to allocate budget for bathroom reno ）

excessive, smelly fart problem

cruel_boy — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 00:19:57 +0800

My problem is simple. I keep farting everyday, almost 24/7. Mostly, its the quiet and smelly fart. Probably due to my constipation problem. Its been happening for the past 6 months. At this point, i am considering this to be some sort of disease. Need advice before i proceed to specialist clinic. Im taking 10mg bisacodyl before sleep to induce bowel movement. Even then sometimes in the morning, there is bowel movement, but hardly anything comes out.

I've had gastric problems before, so but its uncommon to have farting along the way. This only started around June 2014. No changes in my diet. But i did take weight gain supplement for 2 months in June and July. I stopped since i had no time for gym. Other than this, there were no significant changes in my diet. Nothing that lasted all these months, and impact my digestion to such extend.

What could be the problem?

MC on Rest Day, need clarification

cruel_boy — Wed, 27 Aug 2014 13:30:13 +0800

Our company operates 24/7, in a very remote place. Due to the nature of ongoing working environment, the workers are allowed to carry forward/accumulate their weekly rest day(sunday) and clear end of the month.

Recently, an employee applied for 5 days off. on his 2nd rest day, he obtained 2 days MC and returned to work on 7th day. Can he use mc to offset his rest days, and take longer leave?

Based on employment act, MC on rest day is not acceptable and will not be entitled to replacement. But would it be still the same for our case, where the rest days are not on sunday but carried forward to a latter date?

Resign bank contract job within 3days

cruel_boy — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 10:42:55 +0800

My fren joined Bank Islam on 2nd January. He go the jb through a recruitment firm for programmer position. he's offer letter stated job position as Assistant Manager, and Department as IT. and was told that they will be position him as q-net programmer for many in-house projects.

The issue is now,

1. he was recruited as Q net programmer, given the full impression that he'll be working as programmer emphasizing on q-net projects.
2. upon joining 2 days ago, he found that he's job scope is on maintenance and routine troubleshoot of the bank software which was based on q-net.
3. his superiors and department manager acknowledges that they do not do programming works, unless there are mini projects from corporate clients from time to time which is out-sourced to other technical firms.
4. he contacted recruitment firm, who also confirmed that the bank was specifically looking for q-net programmers.

So he wants to serve a 24hours notice today, on reason that he was joined under the impression that he will be working on programming tasks and not monitoring tasks. the bank and recruitment firm falsely advertised the position, and even made false claims when he signed the offer letter by telling that they are doing many programming projects and that he is hired to complement those projects. but in reality, he is required to do only monitoring tasks for 2 banking softwares that they are using currently.

The job offer letter had a clause stating

QUOTE

Bonding period: You are hereby required to serve bank for a period of at least 2 years. In the event you resign from the service of the bank before expiry date, you undertake to pay the bank the sum of RM 8640 as compensation. If you fail to reimburse the said amount, the bank shall be entitled to recover the total said amount by legal resource.

legally, can a he resign within 3 days of joining due to misled hiring, even though he have signed the offer letter?
would the bank take legal action on him, and does he have any ground to defend himself?

hard disk status unknown/not initialised

cruel_boy — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:32:19 +0800

i wanted to create a partition in my external hdd via diskpart in cmd, but messed up a bit.

these were my steps in cmd

CODE

diskpart

list disk

select disk 2 (my external hdd)

clean

once i did clean, automatically my hdd went missing in my computer.

upon checking in disk management, the hdd is detected with total size but as Unknown and Not Initialised.

how can i reverse my action, to reassign my hdd to a drive letter while preserving all data within?

CODE

if i follow the steps correctly in cmd, after clean i could format, then assign.

But in doing so, it would erase all data within.

I could extact those data using recovery software, but i do not have equivalent empty space to copy into as it is a 500gb HDD with 90% full.

please advise

need to find out game title.

cruel_boy — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:24:09 +0800

there was this game which i played few years ago, i cnt remember the name anymore.

the gameplay is strategic, much like starcraft. but its like we start of as a nation, and on every move, we as well as our opponents attack a nearby nation to conquer it. when there is an opponent nation attack our territory, we defend. Play like this untill we conquer each and every nation on the map and defeat all opposing enemy.

any idea wat game is this?

replacing CISS ink cartridge

cruel_boy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:12:28 +0800

i just wanna ask how to replace da cartridge? i bought da printer 2 years ago. But now i think da cartrige rosak ady. Printer cnt detect da cartridge. If i replace with a new one, can print.

So now i wanna hook up da ink tube to da new cartridge. How should i go about it? Should i wait till da cartridge becume empty, or should i just make da hole, and hook up da tubes now itself? i had to replace both colour and black.

i cud just refill abit n abit like normal cartridge, but its still kind of waste since i still got plenty of ink in da CISS container.

comments welcomed. tnx for your input.
