Halia — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 00:25:34 +0800

Multiple wireless connection via PC

Halia — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:48:10 +0800

My old wireless router did not support WPS whereby I just bought a WPS printer. Currently the printer is directly connected to the PC (wireless) but the problem is, at any given time, my PC is only able to connect to either one - printer or router. That means if I were to connect to printer, I lost the connection with router/internet. Would that be possible to enable a multiple connection via PC i.e to connect to the printer and the router at the same time (since I can't connect the printer with the router due to unavailable of WPS functionality).

If this is not possible, what is the most cost effective solution - get a new router?

Thanks a lot

How to edit psd style sheet?

Halia — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 16:52:17 +0800

I downloaded a free wordpress template with psd file. I want to edit the style sheet (background). I can do that using AI or Photoshop. My question is after I done editing, how to I save in the precise size as the original image (which are part n pieces of the full page image in JPEG). You see, the original PSD is in full page length but the images used in the stylesheet are cropped images in different sizes (such as header, footer, etc). I am struggle to crop and save my edited image as per the original images' sizes used. Hope I am not confused you. Any helps are very much appreciated.

Which Web Hosting plan best support Magento?

Halia — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:38:20 +0800

Need some helps here. I am planning to set up a e-commerce site using Magento template. The data file is big and the min memory is 32MB, ideal is 64MB. My target market is both international & domestic (more international). New start-up, cash flow is tight therefore must make the right investments so that my site can compete with big players and appears to be big/professional. With that, does it mean the min I should go is the semi-dedicated plan vs shared server (eg. extrabye EBiz Gold)? To what extend M'sia or US based host matters and what are your recommendations? Many thanks & my apology if I posted wrongly here

PC for Illustrator 4

Halia — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 01:04:38 +0800

I am looking for some advice on selecting a PC that can 'comfortably' run Adobe Illustrator 4. Beside CPU, RAM, etc, I also reckon that I need a good monitor (colour reproduction and display size). I have check up Dell XPS-9000 but when I upgrade the option, it breached RM5K, which is then like a 27" iMac. My questions are then if this is the case, should I go for Mac, and if I go for Mac, would I end-up paying more because of the softwares? I know Dell XPS is kind of higher-end PC for general use with good decent graphic, but if it good for Illustrator after upgrade the RAM. Any suggestion on lower price PC that can run Illustrator 4 will be very much appreciated.

Forced MOT by Bank

Halia — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:04:31 +0800

Need some advice. Recently I called up the bank asking for rate reduction on my current loan rate but was rejected because I have not executed the MOT (Tittle has been issued quite awhile and I am looking to lower interest rate including refinancing). And after a big round of the garden, I found out that if I were to refinance with another bank, I should execute the MOT later with the new bank. As I was looking around for offers, my current bank, UOB, issue a one month notice to me to execute MOT and if I failed to do so, it will do it for me where all the expenses will debit into my loan balance. Questions; 1)Can the bank do that? 2)Where are my rights? 3)Should I go ahead with refinancing with the new bank & do the MOT after that. Many thanks
