Scifi

Before

After

Well, this is a cleaning night.

The wong's/"chan intercepted" family got plenty of Apple White Products, namely, a eMac, a iBook and 2 iPods. However, all of them are started to age. Become dirty slowly, no longer a white product. Yellowish, even greyish white is the outlook of the machines and it is very bad in perception.

Well, remember in 80s, Tsang Sir suggested a "Chemical X"1 to clean the plastic/metal products in the TV shows.

We tried to use this "Chemical X" to clean the white products. The result is phenomenal!

A one year old eMac Keyboard turned white again. well, no as white as the new, as least better than before.

Not yet scheduled next step is use Chemical Y2 to clean the scratches on the chromiun side of iPod. Also, "Mechanical force Gamma"3 can be used to clean up the rest of dirt inside the white keyboard and the monitor part of the eMac.

1: Chemical X = Colgate Toothpaste
2: Chemical Y: Brasso Brass Cleaner, selling for ten dollars per litre.
3. Mechanical Force Gamma: Pulling force from the wind of vaccum cleaner.

Hey! Why these common things can't give a scifi name?

Need for low speed

Finally, I configure the notebook I am using in the workplace to connnect to internet, via 28.8K dialup!

Very slow, but somehow acceptable.

I used a whole afternoon to download a copy of Mozilla Firebird and AIM.

I become too noble by the high speed broadband. I think I need to re-adapt myself to the slow internet again. I used to use 28.8K modem in 1996 or 1997.

SPSS

I hate Japanese Pop Culture.

I am close-minded!

This fucking world get too much so-called open-minded people!

Don't give yourself to much explanation.

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake! You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else! We are all part of the same compost heap. We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world. You are not your bank account, you are not the clothes you wear, you are not the contents of your wallet. You are not your bowel cancer, you are not your grande latte, you are not the car you drive. You are not your fucking khakis. You have to give up. You have to give up. You have to realize, that some day you will die. Until you know that, you are useless.

You are just a dead-end follower!

Partly for Tiney's homework, partly for fun.

We walked down to some small alleys in Sheung Wan.

Well, I know I will have a bad night tonight.

Very bad, really bad. I hate to be that again and again.

Cheaper Panther.

Hey! Mac diaryland fellas.

It is very boring for the Saturday work, I emptied my brain soup to think about a plan. So that we can upgrade to Panther cheap and legally.

What we are talking about is good karma way.

As you can see, there is a version of Panther called "Family Pack". It got 5 liscenses in the box, but restricted to household use only. (ie. non-commercial use)

If 5 of us buy a boxed copy, then we can use it legally and share the price.

The price per se is (199 * 7.8)/5 = HKD310.44. Or, the one who keep the box give more money.

Seems to be a good deal!

I know we can download Panther from Bit Torrent, but it is a illegal way to use it.

Anybody interested in this good karma but cheap upgrade plan?


*** Update: 10:08 am:

I missed one part, this part render this plan illegal, what da fuck. Read the small words under the description:

* Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons sharing the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium. This license does not extend to students who reside at a separate on-campus location or to business or commercial users.


*** Update again: 11:20 am:

The plan update again. Just read a foreign forum. It is very common for people install family pack in Macs in different geographic region. Yeah, it is illegal.

But, what if people installed the OS in the firewire harddrive and travel around? It is legal, but ultilize the grey area of the liscense.

This plan seems to be hypocritical, since it is not really a good karma right now.

But the true meaning of this plan is support Apple computer but we have no money.

I think this is the optimized solution in terms of economical and moral, out of:
1. 5 individuals buy 5 copies of Panther Single user version. (1st choice, but it required $5000, $1000 each)

2. This plan. 5 people buy 1 copy of Panther Family Pack. ($310 each)

3. 5 people buy 1 to 4 copy/ies of Panther Single user version

4. 5 people, all download from BT

actually isolated

Life is likes a fuck these day.

It is a fucking long time I haven't write something about Mac here. As you can see, Nikitac and Gabriel consistently wrote something about Mac in their Blog.

I check out the new iTunes 4.1. The most interesting feature for me is the celebrity playlist. I check out their playlist when I am sleepless.

It got Moby's playlist, Billy Corgan's playlist and even Michelle Branch's playlist.

See how beautiful Michelle's face in the iTunes. But I don't really think her music is my cup of tea.

I love Moby's playlist. A mix of Rock and Downtempo electronica.

30 seconds preview of each songs in their playlist is already very good.

A man and a computer at the dawn.

A terminal of the internet.

Look like connected, but actually isolated.

Dub size off da noon

"Dark side of the moon" is the most inspirational album I listen everyday during my work. I even love it more than the breakthough "Entroducing" by dj shadow.

I reallly wanna buy the recently released SACD version of this great album with a decent SACD system. I would like to enjoy the soundscape, the 3 dimensional space of "money" and "Ecllipse". Anyone have this system at home? If you simply use it to play the canto-pop, what a waste you are!

A little bit desperate these day, this album is my positive energy source.

Music, my true friends forever.

Yesterday, I watched the MV of born slippy in MTV Channel.

I am addicted to that MV. The eclectic mix of video clips from trainspotting and a tripping video.

Aphex Twin mixed pink floyd and underworld together.

Find it in limwire or other place, I can sure you will love techno music even you don't really love it before.
