Cycling to Cameron Highlands

Andy Lo — Tue, 08 Oct 2013 23:51:03 +0800

I will be cycling up Cameron Highlands next 2 weeks (about 19th Oct weekend), wondering if anyone has any hotel/motel/place to recommend that is cyclist-friendly, preferably nearby Tanah Rata?
So far few places that I've called to enquire does not allow us to bring the bicycles into the room.

Looking for a room for 2 persons + 2 bicycles.

Any advise, please welcome. Thank you!

Lost Remote Control (Speakers) How?

Andy Lo — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 02:47:57 +0800

I'm a proud owner of the DAHW TVS 866 stereo amplifier speaker system(it's not a famous brand so searching on the net might return 0 results).
There's only very few controls on the speaker unit itself for power, volume, bass, treble and mic inputs . There was a remote control for additional controls such as tone, sound balance, and other features, until I lost it.

Problem: I've lost the original remote, and the sound balance is louder on the right side compared to the left. It's nothing to do with the cabling nor input because I remember adjusting the sound louder to the right before I lost the remote. Tested with switching the left/right input and still right side is louder.

Solution: Haven't found any yet. Can someone advise what can be done? Are there 'universal remotes' available in the market? Or any convenient and cheap solutions?

Barriers: I can't seem to be able to find a way to open the unit up, or at least not easy to do so even if I wanted to. I don't think anything can be done even if it's naked since the controls are internal and not on switches/knobs.

Thanks in advance...

Here's additional specs for the speakers from what's written behind if it may help:
Model No. TVS 866
Power Rating AC 220V-/50Hz
450 Watts.

400D 17-85mm USM IS Lens

Andy Lo — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:22:07 +0800

There's a promotion going on at my area here and I cannot decide whether to buy or not.

Currently I paid RM50 deposit to keep the camera at this price for a month because I got no money yet.

I'm now using a Panasonic FZ50 with DMW-FL28 flash.

What I intend to get:

Canon 400D
17-85mm USM IS Lens f4-5.6

No memory card, no camera bag, no accesories.

Price : RM2999

Is it worth it? Any advice/reconmendations?
I would really prefer to stick to Canon if possible.

[Need Advice] Name Card design

Andy Lo — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:27:10 +0800

Please comment and give advice.

Since it's a personal name card, I think it should tell a lot about me?
If u want to know more about me, can just visit my Blog. Maybe it will tell more.
Basically I'm a new amateur in photography, and also a mountain biker/BMX.
Need a name card because I meet a lot of people whenever I go out. (Diploma in Public Relations).

Thanks again to all that took the effort to read all these. Thanks.

This is the design I'm looking forward to:
[attachmentid=580270]
*Updated: Added camera shutter and lens release button on the front side to make it look like camera.
Measurement: about 3.2" x 1.6"
Material: Something like matte laminated and thick.

Other 'uglier' designs... Don't have to really bother to comment unless u think these are nicer..
[attachmentid=580255]
[attachmentid=580256]
[attachmentid=580257]

If someone willing to make a design FREE for me, I don't mind. Hehe...
If I use it, then Starbucks on me, but in Penang area only.

Thanks again for those that commented and gave advice.

Meantime I also looking for printers, around 100pcs.
Cards printed must be:
*Top quality
*Thick (does not bend so easily)
*Durable (does not fade)
*Able to cut those rounded edges.
ASSURE me the quality and then only we will discuss the price.. Better if can make unique layout/designs/materials/emboss/etc...

Kaspersky & MSN related

Andy Lo — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:34:43 +0800

I get this screen popping out after everytime I receive a file from a friend in MSN Messenger.
[attachmentid=311055]

How can I disable this screen from popping out ? It's annoying because I'm sure everytime that the files I receive are safe.

I'm currently running on kaspersky Internet Security 6.0.2.621 with MSN Messenger 8.1 with MSN Plus installed.

Is there something somewhere that I can disable in kaspersky so that this window will not pop up after everytime I receive a file?

Thanks..

There's nothing wrong with my MSN Messenger.
