Granite Effect Spray Coating

overfloe — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 12:51:35 +0800

Hi all,

Anybody got experience with granite textured coating?
I want to know the maintenance and resilience - how long can it last?

Something like this: https://www.myrevo.work/showproducts/produc...-magic-granite/

I know for sure, it will be more costly compared to normal paint.

Thanks.

Where to order Custom desk?

overfloe — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 19:31:07 +0800

I want a simple solid desk. Due to the space restriction, my size requirement is uncommon: 130cm x 70cm, with height less than 72cm (due to ergonomics). Steel legs. White powder coated.

I could buy Ikea Trotten underframe as it allows height adjustment < 60cm, but its a hassle to buy and add a custom table top, unless can convince me it is easy to DIY.

It will be nice if i can just.custom order the desk to my liking from one shop. Please recommend any shop that can provide this.

235/55R17 options

overfloe — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 11:29:45 +0800

I've used Primacy 3ST and now 4ST. The 4 is a downgrade in term of hydroplane, so I'm looking to move away from this model. I understand there aren't many choices when it comes into this size.. and my priority is good aquaplane resistance. Please recommend me some.

P.S. i have the 4ST in 215/45R17 on another car and at this size the aquaplane seems decent.

Best way to read a text file continuously?

overfloe — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:38:33 +0800

Hi .NET experts,

I'm building an application where it needs to read a text file (like a log file), parse it and display in a table/grid viewer. The application should have a button to Start the the function, and can be ended by a Stop button.

It sounds like a loop function. What will be the best method to achieve this? The 'reading' function should run in background and should not be resource hungry, and allows the user to do other task on the application.

Should I use Do While?

Tq.

Update: Found out that i can use Threading to work in background

Pioneer Kuro is back..

overfloe — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 15:29:19 +0800

News a bit late but Sharp has just launched the Kuro, in LED disguise and named it ELITE:

I know the title is abit misleading, but fans will get the drift

Seems like Sharp Elite line-up is high end stuff

Car painting clarification needed

overfloe — Mon, 09 May 2011 11:34:17 +0800

I'm sending my car for painting.. actually i bought a new bumper and side skirts, so they need to be painted.. Went to a shop, which claims to have the same brand of paint used on the car (Kansai paint ALESCO). My questions are:

1. Is it possible for them to paint the bumpers and side skirt without leaving the car there?
2. If they have the same paint, do they still need to 'mix' the paint? As I can recall correctly, when I sent my car for touch up (car was new, so free touch ups) at a proton SC, they have a can of the paint already premix, which I think it comes from the Kansai factory.

The shop insisted that I need to leave my car because they need to mix the paint by checking the colour from the fuel lid. If got colour code on the chassis, why still need to 'paint match'?

And they want to assemble the new bumpers and skirt first before spraying.. isn't it is a lot easier if they spray first, and assemble later? Their reason is that they afraid the new paint will peel or scratch during assembly.

I've seen a lot of cheap shops spray over the grille, etc which meant to be unpainted (ori matte black).

Sharp LC32L450

overfloe — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 10:02:44 +0800

Hi folks,

I'm in a market to look for a 32 incher LCD, just for the bedroom.. Sharp LC32L450MWH looks really nice, but not sure if the picture quality is better than Toshiba 700E.. also in consideration is the Philips Full HD (not sure which model), but the picture looks softer than the Toshiba.

So is there anyone who is using the Sharp LC32L450M ? need some oppinion here..

Not keen on other brands/model..

Thanks!
