Chasing After Rainbows

I just bought a wireless keyboard and mouse. It's for the PC that's connected to the LCD TV in the living room. I haven't tested if it works when booting up or when the wired ones connected via the PS/2 ports are removed. As for the range, it's enough to sit at the sofa with the keyboard and type, though the range appears to be slighter shorter than the keyboard. It's still better than the wired ones though; with those you had to seat closer to the PC/TV in an uncomfortable position. To make matters worse, all of the connections are at the back, making the cord shorter. (the motherboard does support it, but the casing (which dates back to before 2000) does not.) Speaking of the motherboard, you could also connect a 3.5" floppy disk, but the length of the IDE cable between the motherboard and where the drive would be mounted is too short. With computer networking and flash drives, I don't see that as a problem unless I'm retrieving data stored on it, or ...

Windows 95 desktop with Windows Vista sidebar and taskbar! ;D "Clannad" and "Shakugan no Shana Second" has ended. The former was nice to watch, but for the latter, it wasn't as exciting as the previous season. I don't know how I manage to watch through it... My sister was complaining something about the education system in Singapore being too capitalistic and sees things like music and the arts as an "extra" (=lack of freedom). [ What the heck is that? Is it even edible? ] I somewhat agree with that. In this article would explain regarding a ban some months ago, the prime minister said that "the city-state should keep its conservative values and not allow special rights for homosexuals ". What a load of crap. There weren't even any homosexuality of the game in question to begin with, any why be conservative? [ No, it's not yet the end of the post yet. ] If you look at what is missing compared to other (developed) countries or t...

I went there and fill in the necessary things. However, midway, a "time-out due to security reasons" and a "website is experiencing technical problems" error. If sucessful, it should only take about 30mins. With this problems, it's going to be longer. Alternatives are working at a fast food restaurant which I know little of, but has branches in the region and as a cashier at a supermarket which denied my earlier application for a different position. It seems that most of my friends are already working or have worked before...

[ There was an NDP audition at college west last saturday? I didn't know about that... ] {Do note that the stuff mentioned here is already in effect since 24 March and won't be lifted until 18 April} As this post is long and full of text , I have inserted links and images used earlier to keep your attention. Friday (14th): There was a camp organized by the student council. At the beginning there was a search for clues and somehow got lost as to finding some of the clues. The food was like crap: I never liked curry and vegetables in the first place. In one of the "games" segment, the excos told us to change into "old clothes" before starting. During the game, there was some funny coloured "Indian" powder/dye. They told us to mix it with water and use it to attack the opponent's "King" (who wore nothing more than newspaper, masking tape and a trash bag on top of their clothing; 5/6 in total) all around the field. It was crazy. In the ...

(Read this if you don't know what a virtual machine is) I found out earlier today (evening of the 25th) that Microsoft have released Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 for free on both Windows and Mac ( PowerPC only) based PCs. I tried to install it despite Windows Vista Home Basic not listed there (though the Ultimate and Business editions are) and it works well. The amount taken up by the virtual drives is the same as the used memory space, not the total allocated (virtual) hard disk space. Anyways, first, I installed Windows ME for the fun of it as I already know it's no longer supported since 2006. Everything went well, including the LAN, reading the CD, music and stuff. The only problem is stuff that would have been fixed in later versions. You can switch between the guest and host PCs by pressing the Right Alt and the Return/Enter key at the same time. Anyways, there were only 30 or so critical updates after you had install IE6 (and something I can't remember) as they had to...

(Wow, 101 posts already?) (Click on image to enlarge) Recently, you might have saw the layout for this blog (the one you are reading this at) edited. I could use the 3rd party ones, but a lot of them uses the old version (ie. doesn't support the "widgets"), and the ones for the new version are only a handful. Seeing that my blog for IT stuff have very little stuff on other than posts, I decided to use that as a testing ground for my blog layouts as I don't have anything to loose in case I decided to revert back to the original or use the classic template. For the screenshot you see at the top, it's the edited version of "Harbour" by Douglas Bowman. Using the anime episode numbers to replace all the images there, I have manage to put the images at the correct images and see what would happen if an image is larger than the original assigned image or put up an animated gif image. It appears that I can't change the main background colour without editi...

(Originally posted at my 1st blogger blog on the same day) After playing around with the HTML coding of my main blog , I have decided to change the layout for the anime blogs for both the English and Japanese language versions. Currently, I have only change the colours to the same as what you saw on my main blog (at time of post). I plan to use the same template from the main blog and apply it to here. The problem is that I can't copy directly due to the problems with the header image; you had to manually edit from the lengthy HTML code and have to upload the image at 3rd party image hosting sites. I plan to change the header image, but have yet to find a suitable replacement despite haveing tons of images. Also, I am clueless on using image editing software, so I might end only cropping, changing the saturation (richness of the colours) and stuff I can do with Paint and Windows Live Photo Gallery. (the default colours in paint for vista is better than the ones found in the earl...
