WTA - Remove hum loop from earphone

kuihbahulu — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 22:08:01 +0800

Greetings,

I am using IEM mostly---given that that particular IEM extremely sensitive to ground noise.
Whenever I put on phone, no hum.
On laptop, hum on and on.

I believe the hum unavailable for headphones,but only particular IEMs.

Any solution?

drawing pad or scanner?

kuihbahulu — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:46:44 +0800

greetings,

i need some opinions.

currently im a hobbyist,simply love took photos(digital).
at the same time, it seems i like to draw pattern(not a detail one,it just curvy)--the same style,over and over again,which i think is a waste when i simply draw on my exam paper XD.

i think i want to push this 'thing' further,to digital. i want to know how i can integrate photos and patterns i create. thats where i got into bunch of ideas.

in ur opinion,should i get a scanner, or drawing pad? or dont get both?

if yes, suggest the suitable one fr me, i never use those drawing pad. just simple 3in1 scanner =)

a great headphone-suggest?

kuihbahulu — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:41:25 +0800

greetings people ~

currently im looking for a headphone with price range RM 100-200, perhaps add some if totally worth it.

i have some pair like-together with cost price;
free,dv6-beats solo
90-sony,an earbud,MDR EX-58
100-sony,on aer,MDR-Q68LW/B
38-edifier,earbud
22-cliptec,earbud
48-philips,on ear,black colour
so basically..im into normal range one. sennheiser,beats,bose,harman perhaps not yet my thing yet.if there are with good price,perhaps yes =)

nowadays,im getting old and prefer to lay back and relax--

kind of music that i hear;
-vocal jazz-MICHAEL BUBLE
-korean pop-CNBLUE,SGWANNABE

seriously,i love da vocal plus with supported background. hearings all the extra musical instrument is a bliss.

now,im looking for;
- bigger driver ( those earbud driver too small,not enough kick)
- over ear (since only over ear got big driver)
- cozy one ( i found tat beats warms my ear, uncomfortable for long period)

any suggestion? even if it out of the price range. thanks.

[addedon]January 11, 2012, 11:45 pm[/addedon]i think i misplaced da post. oh sir incharge,im sorry..

laptop speaker--cracking sound

kuihbahulu — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 18:59:16 +0800

greetings people=)

i am using hp dv6.
bfore this i used to play songs and listen by headphones.
today, i suddenly out of norm play it using the speaker and suddenly i hear

cracking + hissing sound

on 50% volume and above,on front left speaker, whenever a bass beat come. only. the back and front right i dont hear.

not all songs show this problem though. but once it happens,always the same place.

----my thinking
??is this due to bad rip of the music??
??the speaker is broken??
??driver problem??-- i already update it..

im using normal setup,no enhancements on the audio.

----------------edit = or its simply noise made of the rip?

sigma 30mm 1.4 or sigma 24mm 1.8

kuihbahulu — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:38:53 +0800

QUOTE(kalakatu @ Jun 14 2011, 01:35 PM)

i used to have the F2 version. soft at f/2, yet quite sharp to my eyes. and the bokeh at smaller aperture looks like a shuriken

Sample photos, majority taken with 50mm F2:
I-city - The City of Blink-blink

btw, this 1.4 is a lot heavier than that f/2

regarding your question, i dont really prefer any of those lens for indoor, as 30mm will become 45mm and 24mm will become 36mm, which for me is still not wide enough, so i use my kitlens instead

but if u r keen to get either of those lens, 24mm F1.8 gets my vote
[right][snapback]43071125[/snapback][/right]

this is a quote from another thread--me accidentally asked a question .

here is reference.

SIGMA 24MM 1.8

SIGMA 30MM 1.4

i do read from various sources,stating the 30mm does not perform very well (centered sharpness--maybe intended,but picture example look fine for me=)). and im tempted of its 1.4.
is 1.8 fast enough or i need 1.4 exactly for indoor?
---------------and im happy if anyone can tell me how much light get if using 3.5,2.8,1.8,1.4. im not clear.

im using pentax system, fa31mm just too far of the budget..so just this my option. not really wide,not really a tele.

want to look>try>buy lense,but dont know where..

kuihbahulu — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 00:27:42 +0800

greetings,

as you know, i live in seremban and x place selling pentax here. Nikon got.

anyone knows where? be it pentax or their 3rd party(sigma,tamron,etc).

i know one in subang parade(DSLR shop), got others?

[request] share your fav focal length=)

kuihbahulu — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 08:50:44 +0800

greetings,

be it Pns,DSLR,micro43rd,etc..one thing always the same,usage of focal length.
so, mostly in your photos,what focal length you are inclined to use?
if me who like snipe snipe, sometimes 210mm 300mm oso got. takut la..

how about you? what do inclined to when you pick your gears? wide? short? 35mm to 60mm although u have 18-135mm lens? or you are PnS but never like the zoom funtion?

share so maybe i can know general range and its usage and your style=)

NOTEBOOK-buy or wait?

kuihbahulu — Fri, 06 May 2011 19:57:55 +0800

greetings people~

to make thing quick, let me list my dilemma =)

what i need from a NOTEBOOK FOR 5 YEARS USAGE (perhaps until i crave for more) :
- it can run LIGHTROOM 3 smoothly, no long loading when processing RAW images. its frustrating when it lag..
- it can run SIMS 3 smoothly, without having to sacrifice all the nice details and its expansion pack.

why i need it now :
-my desktop is not really that fit to run my needs, plus its family pc. not good to mess with.
- im working as photographer, its quite..cute to wait, and cant do anything when LIGHTROOM is processing something.

why i say , "should i wait for a better model?" :
-im going to persue my degree this september. but i dont need it that bad, as long as the lappy can run MS OFFICE. thats enough for my assignments. i even can borrow my future friends lappy. i hope they are fine with that..i hope.
-since now is may..there can be future lappy model that come with better price,better performance.

what im eyeing on now :
- ACER ASPIRE 5750G
i7 - 2630QM (6MB L3 cache,2.0 Ghz, with Turbo Boost up to 2.9Ghz)
4GB DDR3 RAM
GeForce GT 540M (2GB dedicated VRAM)
at RM 2900

should i buy?
should i wait?

if you can recommend a better choice, im happy to listen. thanks.

opening a bank account.

kuihbahulu — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 19:20:01 +0800

greetings,

as the title shown;

what bank will you suggest? why you choose it? (take me as zero knowledge about banks) thanks.

guitar class,price range,4 hours per month.

kuihbahulu — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 17:33:26 +0800

greetings,

as stated, im planning to deepen my guitar skill+knowledge. there is a place where it offer:
RM 100

thus, 4 hours of class for RM 100.

is it reasonable?

anyone worked at WATSON?

kuihbahulu — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:58:10 +0800

greetings,

as the title says,have u worked at Watson?be it temporary,or u are working with them right now.mind to share ur thought?
as iam informed,it was cell-based operations where one person is multitasking.

im going through with SPM cert,just fill in some forms and right now waiting for the call.and i applied for full time since i just can continue my study maybe in september or later.who knows.maybe going to get married soon.haha.

they stated this on the ads:
RM5 per hour(mond-sun)
RM10 per hour(public holiholidays-feel great in malaysia..many holidays~)

so,what is full time?i afraid i got wrong definitions.
how long will i work for a day?is it as long as the shop is open?..it is longer than office hour u noe.

if i calculated this,roughly..i get around rm1200 per month if i work for 12 hours,per day.longgar lutut saya oh.

is it great?

cant connect to internet

kuihbahulu — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 21:38:29 +0800

greetings,

this problem is from my friend laptop, the spec are :

MSI Laptop
Windows 7-Home Premium
Core2Duo cpu

the situation:

The lappy simply cant connect to internet,be it from LAN or wireless.
The funny thing is,the lappy need to be restarted numerous times or "a new connection" need to be done to get connected.

Even when everything is okay,new connection established,everything so perfect.when the lappy is shut down. Power it back,and the same problem persist.Continue in the funny circle.

The connection between lappy and modem - no problem,192.168.1.1 is working. but no internet. but the modem do show got internet and he paid for the net.

Figures?

Thanks.

customization of Joomla

kuihbahulu — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:57:35 +0800

greetings,

this is another post, well..new problem everday,thats how life..

i read, scrolled about joomla and i choose this as the first CMS i want to use, but i just figuring..until what extent i can do with joomla.

can I :

-customize the pages as usual ( like when we are doing from scratches )
-create a database for users ( login system etc, my knowledge in mysql and database is limited, will jooomla at least clear the fog?)
-in short, i can do whatever i want..changing the template,looks,add swf files etc. im used to build from scratches but i heard CMS lighten the burden, so thats why im tryin this.

if any webmaster done the CMS based website with customizations, im happy to study the websites.

thanks.

CMS frameworks

kuihbahulu — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 22:39:43 +0800

greetings~

here i come again with some funny question.

i know, there are drupal,joomla,etc that were called as CMS that supposed to lighten our burden in web creation, but unfortunately, even after scrolling through pages and pages..i cant understand.

when i download the file from CMS site, im..blank what should i do.
my site provider didnt provide any easy installation of CMS, which..im helpless. im mysql etc blind.

im looking forward to try this way rather than roughly creating website from DW.

one more question, can i customize my website as usual even after i use CMS?
