Finally got hold of the Leopard installation disc. Didn’t even do much research before installation, I just whacked it after backing up my files into my portable hdd. The entire installation took more than 2 hours and when it’s done, I’m already half asleep. But determined to test this new cat out, I struggled to keep awake.

The first 5 min was alright. I tried the Spaces feature and I simply love the new Finder! Next 10 min was spent trying to figure out why my Starhub mobile didn’t manage to connect itself when I plugged in. I panicked. After several plugging in and out of the Huawei E170 USB Stick, I gave up. I tried connecting to the crazy mio from my home and surprisingly it connected itself without any problem! But it’s only good for internet connection for browsing web, my adium had problem connecting.

Quickly googled (always my hero!) for solution. And after checking out several forums and blogs, finally I found the reason why! After reconfiguring the network settings, I managed to get it connected. *HAPPY!*

And the last 5 min was spent typing this entry. I’ll be exploring more of this new cat over the weekend. Hope it’ll not disappoint.

*meow!*

To test the quality of my new toy I got from IT Show, I used it as much as I could today and here are some shots and comments from me…

Early morning I tried to shoot in the dark…
this one is taken in almost total darkness at ISO1600

Lots of noise when shot at ISO1600
but still able to see Greenie Boy pretty clearly.

If you are… 1. Planning to go IT Show next few days and 2. Planning to get a new camera, than this is the one you should MUST read! (Cos I spent 4 hours preparing and blogging about it! Wahahaha!) No, really! I’m serious!

Less than 4 months and already the wrist rest area is yellow-ing and turning ugly. Regretted getting the white one. Should have also bought a protective sticker for the wrist area at the very start. If you’re considering getting a macbook, i suggest buy the black one. Or if you can, get the macbook pro instead.

So now, I need to find way to mask my entire keyboard and wrist rest of my macbook. Or should I get a mbp instead? (Y never let me win the 3mil toto draw this week?) Wahahaha!

I’ve been monitoring my blog traffic for the past one month as I was pretty free everyday at home, so I surfed alot and also monitored alot. And during this process, I’ve came to learn quite a lot of things in the world of blogging.

Before this one month, I thought I have been quite up to date with the blogging scene and know alot of these kind of things. But than now I realised I’ve been a turtle in the shell for so so long! Well, but its never too late to play catch-up right?

Since I joined ping.sg my site traffic increased, not alot, but still more people come and now I do not only have silent readers, occassionally I’ll have a few passer by who left their mark on my blog. *so happy!* Now I do not have to just “talk” to myself in my blog, I have interaction happening! (This I’ve always wanted ever since I started blogging!)

And now that ping.sg and its creator, Mr Uzyn is featured in today’s Digital Times, you can read it here and the full page article here and sure more will be posting about it later. I’m sure the traffic to ping.sg is going to soar! Good news to the followers and bloggers at ping.sg. More things to read and more traffic to your blog!

But I also realised not all the blogs get pong at ping.sg. It really depends on the type of things you blog and yes, your title is very important. Last time, I used to use just one or two words in my title, but now I just use a long phrase of words that will help attract people’s attention. (Just like reading newspaper, not as if I read it, but than when I do read newspaper, usually I’ll scan through it and will only read when a title or photo catches my attention.) So this apply to blogs too. There are soooo many blogs out there, readers will choose and select topics that interest them before they’ll click on your link.

So if you’re still wondering if you should join ping.sg, don’t think anymore! Just join! Have fun in the community! Take part in their discussions and shoutbox. All very friendly (but shy) people. And boy! Now that I know how old Uzyn is, I’m starting to wonder… how old is the crowd at ping.sg? Hmm…

After 1 year 3 months with you, I decided to change to another lover…

Haha! Nope, nothing’s wrong with my love life! It’s just a change of my daily companion for my sight.

Said goodbye to ixus700 today and welcomed the new fujiZ3!

Haven’t got chance to test it out yet, charging still in progress… but watch out for test shots by the Z3 soon… :)
