Stolen car!

The_YongGrand — Wed, 07 May 2008 12:18:27 +0800

Hey there,

Just now morning, when I want to come out, my champagne-colored Kancil went missing, in front of my home!!

It was just stolen! Worst, my neighbours heard that at around 2.00am, but the alarm was only for a very short while. Clever thieves must have disabled it as quick as possible! And they were seen driving the car away...

Here's the plate: WMM 7565. Anyone seen it, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

Btw, reported to the police already upon discovering it that it is missing.

Dead connection

The_YongGrand — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:01:02 +0800

Broadband provider
ISP/package: TMNet Streamyx 512K RM66 unlimited
Location: Kepong
Have you called your ISP's helpline?: Around 6 times already

Personal equipment
Modem: Dlink DSL2640T
Router: Dlink DSL2640T (all in one)
Firewall used: comodo

Problem details
First occurence of problem: Yesterday morning (17/12/07), at after around 11.00 am
Problem frequency: Continuous
Problem description: On 17/12/07, before 11.00 am, the connection was still fine. Then after 11.00 am, connection is totally dead, no input/output, no nothing, with the DSL light still on there. Called the support, they found out the line and the account is still active. The phone line is fine too.

Later that day I attempted to change/swap computers, swap routers, even took out the splitter and directly connect, and the problem still persists. Until now I still couldn't connect, with the error 678 (i also turned into a bridge mode), and in router mode, it says "PPPoE cannot be established". And until now and today, there's no connection, and couldn't be login at all.

What could be wrong here?

2nd hand classic Imacs

The_YongGrand — Mon, 03 Sep 2007 13:54:06 +0800

Hey boys,

After a lot of searching, I found some old Imacs for sale in lelong and some other places.

I've seen the 266MHz and the 300MHz flavours also.

Are they sufficient for normal web-surfing use? What should I need to check if I purchase those old Macs?

Small flat micro-atx casing

The_YongGrand — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:38:44 +0800

Is there any shops which sells those small and flat (not tower, desktop size) micro-atx casing? If so, what's the price there?

Some C help here!

The_YongGrand — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 11:11:20 +0800

Hey there,

I almost finished my homework, and only that I couldn't solve a very small problem there - that's all. I made up a menu like this and the input is in integer form:

Menu
1) Selection 1
2) Selection 2
> 1 (I keyed in 1)

...contents of Selection 1...

and then go back to

Menu
1) Selection 1
2) Selection 2
> g (i simply keyed in a non-integer one to fool-proof the program)

...contents of Selection 1...

Menu
1) Selection 1
2) Selection 2
> 2

...contents of Selection 2...

Menu
1) Selection 1
2) Selection 2
> n

...contents of Selection 2...

Menu
1) Selection 1
2) Selection 2
> 7

Invalid selection! Try again!

Menu
1) Selection 1
2) Selection 2
> n

Invalid selection! Try again!

Everytime I keyed in a wrong (non-integer) after the correct one, it'll show me the contents of the previous selection. I have included the fflush(stdin) but the program likes to work that way!

35W Sempron

The_YongGrand — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 18:20:58 +0800

Ah, I've seen the 65W Athlon64s in the LYP, but not the 35W Semprons.

Any idea which shop in LYP is selling them?

TMNet's EZNet

The_YongGrand — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:47:14 +0800

Hi there,

About the TMNet's EZNet dial-up internet service, since it doesn't use any username/passwords, will using this service cause my email and other passwords like online banking to be exposed since this line is for public?

From what I know, the ordinary TMNet 1515 allows users to have his/her own username and passwords, but the 1315 isn't - it's open for everyone.

Or the EZNet is just another normal dial-up but doesn't involve username/passwords?

Please enlighten me. Cheers.

Half-Life Classic

The_YongGrand — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 00:43:53 +0800

Do they still have Half-Life/TFC classic servers in Malaysia? Long time ago, I used to play the TMQuake thingy, but then I didn't practise much because that time because of high pings.

But now do they still exist?

UPnP or SNMP?

The_YongGrand — Thu, 28 Dec 2006 13:48:21 +0800

Hey there, I found some strange settings in my modem, which is UPnP and SNMP. The default is SNMP, but my old router (DSL600EU) maybe uses UPnP. Which one should I enable for my new Aztech DSL600ER?

And I currently use ICS - but it's a router + switch, so I can still continue using ICS right?

Playing Doom series.

The_YongGrand — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 10:18:26 +0800

Have you played Doom I and II (Ultra-Violence or Nightmare difficulty) without using IDDQD and IDKFA? Have you managed to push your way thru the sea of monsters and demons without getting killed?

I could only do halfway in Level 11 in Doom II - starting with the pistol only.

For Doom III, I could just run as fast as I could when monsters are chasing after me. If the monster is right in front of me, I have to just push the trigger. The rest of the monsters? No time for that.

How do you play Doom series?

Sharing in different phone line.

The_YongGrand — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 18:45:25 +0800

Okay, this is my first question here, so sorry for being such a newbie. Ooh.

Is it possible to share a Streamyx account like this in different locations?

house A in Petaling Jaya w/ Streamyx account

house B in around Sentul

(provided both areas have Streamyx connection available, ports are there already)

Can I log into Streamyx from House B with the same account? I thought that one Streamyx account is 'khusus' (or specially) for one particular house number? Just like dial-up, where I can use my username/password anywhere as long as it has phone line?

Coolermaster PSU blues

The_YongGrand — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 12:04:18 +0800

Okay, just bought a Coolermaster eXtremepower 380Watts from a shop, and I installed and set it up properly.

So I started the comp, I heard some quite audible buzzing sound - it lasts for 10 minutes or so. Then it's not heard anymore. Sometimes out of the blue the buzzing sound comes again for 10 minutes, and gone again.

I'm sure it's the buzzing sound which actually comes from the PSU. Even the power cord is connected, and the switch of the back of the PSU is turned on. I can hear the buzzing sound when the comp hasn't been turned on - because the power has been supplied to the PSU first. Sometimes I couldn't hear it, and sometimes the sound comes back.

(The sound is something like a small bee buzzing, and sounds like the fan is hitting/slapping the wires.)

I don't know when the buzzing will come back, but it's scary - must I need to replace/exchange the PSU??

edit: I won't EVER touch the 230/115V switch - I know it'll kill my computer.

Athlon XP - Nice cooling method

The_YongGrand — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 17:53:03 +0800

I have a spare Athlon XP 2400+ with a MSI KM4M board - and they are still working correctly.

The thing is, I wanna cool it to until below 50 degrees - cause my stock cooling is extremely hot - until 50~65 celcius.

So which one do you recommend for these cooling sets? I don't know - but do stores in Low Yat still sell Thermalright SI-97 and the Artic Ceramique? How much is the price? and have anyone um... tried these combinations before?
