I started using Flash about 10 years ago. Had little knowledge about it back then since during my school years, Director was my main authoring tool. Well, they’re known as Macromedia products before. Similar to Director, Flash can used on webpages as long as the required plugins are installed on several browsers. Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator were the browsers that I used before and each of them had different plugin installers plus both Director and Flash had different plugins as well (If I am not mistaken, shockwave). I can’t recall much but, yeah, imagine today’s browsers to have different plugin installers for each of them and you need to restart your Windows each time installing them, heh. Of course that the current version of Adobe Flash Player is available for all internet browsers without such fuss.
Flag of Japan. Well, that if Flash conquered the country tho
The reason I bring this Flash matters up is actually because of the way Flash changed our Internet browsing habits. Flash has been used for designing our websites for more than a decade. It has then expanded to other platforms like smartphones. But whenever we wanted to browse a site that uses Flash, you’re required to install the Flash plugin to your system. Especially when suckers like us who wanted to watch YouTube videos on a new computer who will immediately download the installer just for that matter. That’s for computer users like Windows, Mac or Linux. Apple iPhone, Nokia Symbian and Windows Mobile users would have problem viewing webpages that have Flash files. Heck, Sony Playstation Interner browser and Nintendo Wii browser do have the same problem as well. Of course, certain tweaks can be done to make sure that Flash file works on those platforms.

Previously, I’ve been an ardent follower of PC Games. Following that post, there are still games not yet released for this year like Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. Truly, I am still a PC gamer while being a console games fanatic at the same time. I choose to buy PS3 last time after some exclusive games that I like which are only available on it. Not really neglecting PC games though I can say, I am only interested with certain FPS and RTS games for PC gaming. Of course that games like Killzone 2 looks cool and nice in PS3 but I hate playing it with the DS3 controller. Xbox 360 controller might be better than Dualshock for PS3 in terms of playing FPS but I still hate playing it with such thing. Not only that, it’s stupid to play Red Alert 3 on consoles as well. Micromanagement is totally out of topic for consoles. In my office, there’s an Xbox 360 along with several games which included Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath. I tried playing the game and found it’s totally hard. Despite how cool the controller can do, it’s still better on keyboard and mouse. Good thing about console games is that the ease and quickness from booting the console up and play a game. Anyway, let me proceed to what I have in my mind for the upcoming games.
IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey (PS3)
Tallyho!
Originally a WW2 aircraft combat simulation game for PC, IL-2 finally being made available for consoles. Being a fan of WW2 planes, I simply love the sound of propeller engines along with the upbringing of the original term of dogfight. Also, I am a little bit fanatical of German WW2 planes for their supreme quality and designs of their weaponry. Of course that modern jet fighters are fun to play with. But this new digital era shows us that things can get easier in aerial combat with simply computerized systems and button mashing. Birds of Prey presents playable authentic planes from Germany, Great Britain, United States and Soviet Russia along with historical air battles especially the epic Battle of Britain and Eastern Front. This game is also available for Xbox 360 and will be released on September 15.

I bought some cool shits yesterday. Apparently it’s because of that my previous keyboard and mouse failing me so much that I nearly rage out like maniacal newfag being trolled by several unsympathetic bitches on forum. The old keyboard was being used for about 2 years. It’s failing hard and shit because my brother loves to smoke in front of my PC and the ashes would deter it more; not only appearance but also some keys were stuck. Well, cheapo Viewsonic keyboard which was like RM 35. The next thing is my old Deathadder mouse by Razer. Cool motherfucking shit that I got after purchasing C&C3 Kane’s Wrath Limited Edition. But sadly, this black and red striped crap failed me after more than a year of usage. It’s supposed to be an expensive bitch that shouldn’t be having flaws like ‘accidental double-click’. Well, I had my time with Razer. I used to have Diamondback previously (which I replaced with DA after getting it). Currently the mouse is being used by my sister. So, what are the new shits I bought to replace them?
Microsoft Sidewinder X6
Well yeah, Sidewinder X6. Detachable numpad that interchangeable to the left or to the right of the keyboard. More importantly, macro keys that programmable to combine several keys together in one single button hit.

I went to One Utama last night. Why? Because Mac City, the Apple Computer Reseller in Malaysia, is currently holding an event there, the ”Mac + iPod Discovery Week” from 17th to 21st December. As usual, a fair like this will exhibit several products from the reseller where people can have somewhat personal hands on [...]
Last Saturday, I asked linkinstreet to come over to my house and help me figuring out what’s the problem with my computer. He brought along a spare PSU and an Nvidia 9600GT which both were mine before (I think the PSU is still mine lol). After he experienced himself about the symptoms of my [...]
Last Friday, I’ve just started working at Terato Tech, a company established by my senior of my former school, to develop software.

I was having a few problem with my motherboard. Most prominent problem was if I shutdown my computer to change peripherals or something and then I try to boot it up, it won’t get into the BIOS at all. The trick here is that I had to cool down the computer abit with any [...]
