Netbooks and camwhoring? lols.

Oh yeay! we  now have netbooks to use in the library..

Well, it runs Skype too.. nbtd shot using skype video call..

Free 100 Plus @ Monash

Another freebie day with 100Plus isotonic drink crew distributing, well of course, free 100plus-es. Well, there’s no such thing as free right? Here’s the catch. You’ll have to enable bluetooth on your phone and play the puzzle to so called participate in the contest. Whoever completes the puzzle the fastest gets to win movie tickets, iphones.. blablabla.. Those who just wanted to get the free 100plus just had to install and play the puzzle but didn’t have to complete the game. Anyway,  I managed to get my 100plus without playing the puzzle because my windows mobile phone was simply too stone aged to be able to play java games. Installed it and it didn’t run properly.

Sie Khai with his 100 plus and a week’s membership from Fitness First gym. Those promoters looked like they needed a gym workout too.. lols.

Sadly the drink failed to keep Sie Khai energized as he was spotted taking his nap on the new bean bags placed at the library. Gotcha!

=P

Guide: Buffalo WHR-HP-54G Fan Mod

Initially this was supposed to be a SD card mod for the Buffalo WHR-HP-54G but then after soldering the points and stuff, the SD card wasn’t detected by DD-WRT so I scrapped that plan and instead did a facelift for this router.

What you’ll need.

- A heatsink  + fan.
- Some materials to cut open the plastic housing.
- Soldering skills
- Whatever you think is needed.

First of all, crack open the case and get the hole fitted according to your heatsink. I used a Intel Celeron 533mhz cooling system for mine and I guess that is enough for this router since it can’t be overclocked. Its just to cool it down abit and perhaps, provide even better stability. My router turned scratchy after the cutting and drilling etc.. So I gave it a paint job. BLACK~ haha. Alright, get started. That’s the end of this guide. Yes. That’s it. Look at the pictures if you want to see more.

Pappa Rich @ De Gardens, Ipoh

Ipoh has its 1st Pappa Rich now. Everyone is like zomg let’s check it out..
hahaha so I went over to this place with Jacqueline and guess what? This place is horrible! I don’t know whether its because of the huge CNY crowd or simply because of their failed strategy to maximize profit.

.
.

1st failed thing.
There was a 30min queue to get a seat. Wow great.. a long queue of people outside but only 5 chairs available for customers to sit while waiting for their turn. Names were just scribbled on a piece of paper and when it is your turn, you get called. Simple as that. Some names were called but none showed up. I guess they’ve got tired of waiting. I actually had this idea of  acknowledging myself as the person being called when the guy did not turn up but then again… haha.. Ok nvm lets go on. So we managed to get a seat.. but it was outside pappa rich, an indoor corridor area with a couple of portable air coolers. Wow, air coolers.. sounds great.. but they weren’t even switched on!

2nd failed thing. Drinks.

Look at how pathetic those drinks were served. They weren’t even served at the correct person. They simply just placed it on the god damned oily table (but not oily anymore after Jac wiped it). The so called CARROT juice didn’t look like carrot juice. Looks like some antibiotic mixture added with loads of water in it. Why serve it in a “huge” mug like this if they are not even gonna fill it up to the brim? hmm.. then notice the amount of ice cubes in it? ZOMG. Probably the so called carrot juice was only filled up to 1/4 of the cup and the rest were just ice. Oh did you just spot the dirt on the handles? If I’m not mistaken this place was up for business only not too long ago. Did you guys use recycled cups? Or you did not wash the cups… urgh. Carrot juice.. looks like they used only a 1/4 carrot for this cup. And if you’re wondering about the price? Don’t ask. I could get you a packet of carrots from Jusco for that price.. LOL. I wonder how it tasted like.. the usual carrot juice I always have doesn’t seem to be translucent or rather transparent~ . Hey  Jacq if you’re reading this, please do tell me how it tasted like. Hahaha.. Next!  The pappa cham! Ah, this looked abit better but I’d say its equally bad. I could make myself a better drink than this diluted thing. I’ve nothing much to say about this pappa cham but only one word can describe it. its really chammmm ( pronounce it the Cantonese way). *shakes head* tsk tsk tsk..

3rd barely passed thing.

The kaya toast. Hmm, kaya toast pretty much tastes the same though. The only thing that I wasn’t satisfied with this was the stale bread. The bread was dry and the sides of the bread was burnt. This is not the usual kinda koptiam style toast. Very special indeed.

A nbtd shot =P.

4th failed thing.

Oh wow, nice we have wifi provided here at Pappa Rich Ipoh. Jacqueline was able to stream her usual porno materials happily for a while but then suddenly, the connection dropped. Although we managed to get it back running, haih, sudah potong stim.. Then, the connection dropped again..  I switched the wifi on my cellphone to the TOS koptiam next to Pappa Rich and I’d managed to get a much more stable connection although it showed only 1 bar on the signal strength meter.

Managed to snap this before the connection dropped and she couldn’t enjoy her porno anymore~

5th failed thing.

A worker simply walks up to you and demands for payment.  I thought I should pay when I want to pay and not when you want me to pay. Anyway fine, I gave him the cash and patiently waited for my change. 5mins went by.. still no sign of my change.. 10mins.. then 15mins.. Fine, I’m lifting my heavy butt and I’ll personally walk to the cashier to demand for my change. He questioned me asking whether have I paid for my stuff. !@#@#%@#. Anyway I managed to squeeze my change out from his cash register and went back to my seat. Not too long after that, another worker came and requested for payment. I’m totally speechless. Settled the stuff, grabbed our stuff and went away.

Pappa Rich @ Ipoh was a total letdown.. I don’t know why there are still customers going there. Good feng shui perhaps? haha. Anyway I went there too!

One thing nice about De Gardens though was the lighting there.

Guide: Linksys WRT54GL/GS/G Fan Mod

This simple mod is mainly for people who feel that their router is getting a little too hot for comfort or maybe it keeps crashing. Most routers fail because of extreme casing temperatures and others fail because they simply lack ram capacity. If you are not experiencing any of these symptoms, just forget it. It won’t make your internet connection go faster or latency to drop. If you’re feeling a little paranoid about overheating routers etc, continue reading =).

What you’ll need.
- A Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS equivalent router
- An 8cm 12V fan ( you can get if from your casing fan / PSU fan or simply buy it )
- A little soldering and drilling skills.

-Get the router open and have a look at your router!
-Mark the position of the fan and get your drill ready.
-Drill the holes. I’ve added extra vents at the side to ease airflow.

- It ain’t easy to get the holes made for me.. I seldom drill stuff haha. Anyway make sure that you’ve drilled the holes for the screws to secure the fan in place and also for the wires to go through. Don’t bother much about the ugly edges because the fan would be covering it later on.

-Then, solder the fan wires according to the picture above. Alright, I know this isn’t the perfect soldering but bigger is better right? =P As long as it doesn’t touch the other pins.

-Here’s the naked Broadcom BCM5352 processor and ram chips of the router. If you’d like a better performance cooling, you’d be better off slapping on a few heatsinks on the processor, memory chips and the radio chip on top of the active cooling by the fan. I did not have my thermal grease with me so I skipped that step.

Fix everything back together and there you have it, an active cooling system for the Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS. Let’s simply overclock the processor from 200mhz to 250mhz.

No problems at all. Pushing the radio power a little higher wouldn’t hurt this baby either.

If you would like to have some control on the fan speed, just add in a variable resistor in the circuit. Adding a switch would also be nice as the sound from the fan gets quite annoying at times. I’m considering to add some diodes and the switch after a few hours running. You could even add led lights, thermal sensors to adjust the fan speed according to the case temperature.. But well, this is the simplest fool proof method to add a fan to the router. It looks pretty good too!
