Time for cool story

FauxHawk — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:40:54 +0800

So few days back, I met a cute sales girl outside a bank, she asked for my number. So I gave it to her. But seeing how I'm look nowhere near (more like opposite) the definition of handsome, she must be trying to sell me something or the other.

So we chat abit every day, and then she ask me I free for dinner or not, I saw okay, lets go. Then while we makan, we talk talk about stuffz and then she say want to see my wallet. Then she says that she's selling insurance. She say she help me register insurance, and took my credit card and took a picture of it, both side. I'm okay with insurance, coz I also planning to start saving anyways but she nvm I help you, the starting amount thousand + only.

Then my phone sms come tell me my card charge liao the amount, that amount I not worry, can let it burn but she has both sides of my cc wor now. Should I be worried?

But I still want to talk to her, so I didnt say anything. Thinking with my 2nd head really

No drillz, coz I still want talk to her.

*And yes, I forever-alone very long liao, got girl talk to me I happy.

**Also, makan Rakuzen, can eat my whole month lunch

CCTV recording in .h264

FauxHawk — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 01:18:48 +0800

So, long story short, somebody stole my sister's credit card and buy 2 ipads at a apple shop. So now we got the CCTV recording, but only can watch on the shop's PC, but when take it home, cannot run at all.

Also included was a .bat file, with this inside

CODE

@\SelfPlayer\SelfPlayerInstall.exe \SelfPlayer\SelfPlayer.ini
@start selfplayer.exe /file:"%CD%\cam08-20120930-190500.h264"

while the .h264 file cannot open, no matter with what player I use.

Any advice?

Upgrading gtx 570 to 670

Office computer and networking recommendation

FauxHawk — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 22:02:01 +0800

Pentium G620 (2C/2T)
GIGABYTE H61M-S2P-B3
Corsair 4GB DDR3
Corsair F60 Force 3 60GB
Cooler Master 460w Extreme Power
Cooler Master Elite Casing
MK100 Classic Desktop
Windows 7 Professional

Total 1.4k from C-Zone.

Something like this, i was thinking. The SSDs might be overkill though but they don't need the storage. The worker PCs are only for stuff like Office and accounting programs. The main PC would have 2 SSDs for RAID1. It's a small company, with not a lot of things to store.

On the hardware, I'm thinking of removing the CM casing and PSU, and just use some of those cheap casing that comes with PSU.

I need some advice on the networking part though. The network is supposed to be theoretically something like this:

Where all the worker PCs are connected to the wi-fi router with a PCI-e wi-fi adapter, and the main PC is connected by cable.
The main PC is the one with all the data and accounting files and will share the files on the network, and the worker PCs only have the OS, Office and accounting programs.

Is it possible for the 4 worker PCs to access the files through wi-fi on the main PC at the same time without any hiccups? Since its only 4 PCs it shouldn't be a problem right? wi-fi tech now should be more than fast enough right?

Casing to use with Water Cooling

FauxHawk — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:34:13 +0800

Currently using the old version of the CM 690 II Advance and was thinking, is this case big enough for water cooling? I see the top can put a 2 x 120 radiator, and the bottom might be able to squeeze in a 120 rad too ( I need the HDD rack coz I have a lot of drives)

Was planning to get WC for both my CPU (i7-950 currently cooled by a Scythe Ninja 3, sabertooth x58 mobo) and graphics card (GTX570 stock, possibly getting another one or switching to the 680 when it is cheaper)

I think a 2 x 120 rad is nowhere enough to cool so many components, so I am looking for a casing that can hold maybe a 3 x 120 rad + another 1 or 2 x 120 rad.

I'm not getting them now, but is still saving up for it and would like to have a set target.

Was looking at something like the Silverstone TJ11, but that one is expensive.

Any recommendation for anything cheaper than the TJ11?

RMA Samsung Drive

FauxHawk — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:54:15 +0800

So another one of my Samsung drives was making clicking noises and went blue screen when I tried to backup and its still under warranty. I was reading the news and see that Seagate has taken over Samsung's HDD divisions and I suppose the RMA now goes to Seagate.

RMA for Seagate must use delivery service? Is there an outlet or something I can go to?

FauxHawk — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 08:02:47 +0800

The CPU mounting hole is too small and badly placed ( for my mobo). 2 of the bottom screws are accessible with the mobo on.

Anybody ever cut open the hole bigger?

Help! Maxtor External HDD problem

FauxHawk — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 13:39:26 +0800

I got this Maxtor Basic 1TB external HDD as an extra storage space last year and I've been leaving it on 24/7 since.

Yesterday, suddenly the hdd stops functioning and can't be detected in My Computer or the Device Manager anymore. But the HDD light is still on, but nvr blinks now. I've tried with another pc and it still doesn't work.

What's wrong with it

Teaching part time in Secondary school

FauxHawk — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:05:02 +0800

I was wondering whether, I could apply for a position as a school teacher in a secondary school for only 2 months. Because I'm currently pursuing a bachelors degree in business and I have a semester break which goes all the way from December until March. I do not wish to waste my time doing nothing and I view this temporary job as an insight to the teaching profession.

I wish to go back to my former school and apply, but was wondering was it possible, especially only for 2 months. Previously, when I was in Form 3, an ex-student who was from the school came back during his break in studies, but he was around for quite a while.

He said he was leaving the country to continue his studies after the teaching job, but from his age, I assumed he was in the middle of a degree as well (I found old class pictures of him, and he left the school the year I entered, so he's probably 20 when we taught us).

So, any advice on this? I'm going to write them a letter first (don't know if they read e-mails) or call the office first to inquire if you guys don't think it's a dumb idea.

Changing strings

FauxHawk — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:19:55 +0800

I have a question on changing classical guitar strings. Does it matter how much string you leave when you tie up at the bridge? I changed the strings on my bro's classical guitar, but it looked mighty messy and one of the strings wouldn't go in tune. The tuning peg would not move anymore no mater how much you turn it even though the string still has slack.

He then went to his teacher and his teacher said I tied it all wrongly because I left too much string at the bridge. Said something about the strings being too tight because I left too much extra string at the bridge. The teacher then oiled the tuner gears and took out all the strings and put them back. Now the guitar can go be tuned.

I changed it according to the instructions on a youtube video. He explained it pretty nicely, but I left extra string because I had problem tying it up.
