The Culprit is…

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 computer, he suggested to try with the PSU first. Amazingly, it made past BIOS. So the culprit was PSU instead of graphic card which I suspected. Before anyone stupidly accuse this and that, I’ve done POST test where my system seems to be able to pass it when I unplugged everything, only mobo. But on that day, even with POST test and everything, the motherboard seems cannot be booted at all (well, it did boot but only the fans moving without any beeping sounds). Only after we tried with the PSU, it seems there’s hope. For some reason, even though it’s booted to BIOS, the BIOS page seemed inaccessible despite hitting DEL button repeatedly. Perhaps, the PSU hadn’t enough juice to make the PC runs. Off we went to Lolwut Lowyat Plaza (actually we went to Hard Net shop in Kajang first but eventually went along to Lowyat due to unavailability).

So, I bought this Cooler Master Extreme 500W for RM 170. Nothing fancy about it as eventually my Silverstone Strider ST50F is better for quality than this but it is the culprit for my PC failure to boot. I guess it was because of lightning or other shits that made it failed. I have to RMA it back quickly (but I am not free with works and stuffs). Finally, my PC can be boot well and I am fucking happy about it. Sorry Gainward for cursing at you lol.

Move on to my work side, our office has received with furnitures; tables, chairs, a couch and curtains. Oh, not forgetting the table tennis table… doesn’t sound right, it’s ping pong table or whatever it is called.

iPhone development tools can be downloaded at Apple Developer site. Free registration but you need a Macbook to start working on it. Yeah, yeah, I know that there’s other workaround tools for Windows users to develop something for iPhone but the native is on Apple Mac OS X. While the registration is free, you can only play around with the iPhone Simulator though. You have to pay for your applications to be available on your iPhone.

Ciao.

Have you watched Madagascar 2? Personally speaking, I seldom put my interest with 3D animation movies especially from Hollywood. It’s usually cater for kids and the Americans seldom making real-to-life 3D animation movies (I can tell why as it’s too expensive). Well, Indra asked me to watch this sequel of Madagascar animation movie on Saturday night. Don’t pity me. I don’t have girlfriend, m’kay? So I only going out with male friends to watch movies…. so far, duh.

THIS IS MADAGASCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

A fun movie I might say. I had my time enjoying this comedy stuff. I didn’t put much thought on watching or even put higher expectation with it. Previously, I was watching movies like Over the Hedge. Not a bad thing but too much yada yada thingy with family-like relationship. However, in Madagascar 2, there’s still friendship and family matters. Though, it’s blend well with the sporadic comedy moments throughout the movie. Makunga’s hair, Moto Moto’s same lines for flirting, that old granny, herd of Marties and of course the Penguins. After several srs biz movies I watched recently, this movie did make me feel a different enjoyment. After watching emo stuffs like Quantum of Solace or Max Payne, Madagascar 2 is a cure for your mental damages, lol. Oh, I haven’t watched Tropic Thunder yet.

On the other note, I went to workshop today to get my car service. Well, the car hadn’t move around much but the last time it was getting its service was 6-7 months ago. Oh well, so the men there changing oil and fixing stuffs for my car. But the automatic gear oil was leaking and it needed to be fix and require new oil. After all the bla bla shit, it cost me RM 178. OMGWTFBBQ. Then again, I haven’t sent my car for service for such a long time, pish. Well, that’s service matters. While it feels macho as in better driving, the car’s alignment seemed unaligned. Crap, that’s what I thought. Another RM 30 will fly away just to fix the alignment. So I went to a tyre workshop. While the dudes there positioning the car at the ramp, one of them realized that one of the tyres was kinda flattened. Was it punctured? OMGWTFBBQx2 there’s a screw! The screw punctured the tyre but no big deal as it can be patched up. But the most WTF moment was when the chambers needed to be replaced. In the end, the total was RM 95 compared to RM 30 from what I expected. So, RM 178 + RM 95 = RM 273.

Aww fuck
Aww fuck

Before I finish this, I found something amused at the tyre shop just now.
