Digital Piano to PC

szeping — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 22:16:32 +0800

I am finding a 5-pin Midi In/Out cable from digital piano to PC's USB cable. Normal 1 to 1 connection will do, anyone selling it?

Something like this...

Girls team in normal tournament

szeping — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 16:21:34 +0800

As topic says, what's your opinion on an all-girls team joining an all-others-are-guys tournament?

For me, it's OK (should be fun watching) if they are not in my group. Else, I will feel awkward for the possible body contacts. Not to say that "what if our team lose?" question arise...

Anyway, there was a girl team in a 5-side tournament which I took part yesterday. If you want to look at some of their performances and penalty shootout, click here.

Other than that, opinions are welcome.

Can't Add Categories

szeping — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:08:30 +0800

Hi, I just managed to add one category, then it stated that

"You don't have permission to do that."

when I tried to add second category.

So, now I only have a "Blogroll", "Uncategorised" and "Personal" (self-created) categories. Anyone know how to fix this?

Chinese Wording in WordPress

szeping — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 22:53:14 +0800

Hi, I installed WordPress 2.2 using Fantastico in cPanel.

However, my post in chinese wordings appeared to be "?" Is it normal or do I need to manual install the chinese version?

I have followed the instructions in http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Word...n_Your_Language
But it seems like it's just an translation on the WordPress layout.

Singapore Telco Comparison

szeping — Sat, 26 Aug 2006 11:29:55 +0800

I am going to work in Singapore soon. Just feel curious on the plans they have... have been surfing all the 3 sites, but too messy for me.

My criterias:
- Free incoming calls
- Cheaper SMS
- Cheaper IDD to Malaysia

Any recommendations? Which is the most popular prepaid plan in Singapore? Or shall I go for post paid?

[WTA] Working in Singapore

szeping — Sun, 23 Jul 2006 12:46:38 +0800

I just wonder, how much % of EPF and tax (for foreign workers) they incur on us (Malaysians) to work in Singapore?

In Malaysia, our EPF distribution is 12% (employer) and 11% (ourselves), but I heard in Singapore, it is 20% (employer) and 11% (ourselves)? But how's the procedure of getting it back if it is possible if we quit working after several years?

And, what about Singapore taxation, as well as Malaysia's tax? Will it be higher?

[WTA] Prolong the Soundcard <-> AUX input cables

szeping — Sat, 06 May 2006 18:22:24 +0800

I am planning to watch movie with output to the TV, which is few meters away from the PC.

I have bought the Soundcard <-> TV AUX input cable, but it's too short (less than 3 feet). It is a one head output (same with green speaker cable head) from soundcard with another end of red + white outputs to AUX.

My question is: Is there any way to prolong it? Or can I get a longer cable? Currently I am moving my CPU nearer to PC to watch RMVB movies with my family

And, same question to the cable with TV output from graphics card.
