Kudos, million and more to the engineers at http://www.data-savers.net!
It’s was a mind-blowing experience. Imagine drinking a slurpee at the speed of saying Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Yes it was brain freeze! I’m now able to revive the zine that I was working on and of course recycle all the web layouts that I’ve used before. Glorious! The best part, I have the photos of the mindless trips that I went on over the year in dreary England.
Money well spent.
Ok so we use lots of keyboard shortcuts. Cut, Paste, Copy etc.. Do you know that a javascript can retrieve the test that you’ve last copied onto the clipboard? Try it.
1. Copy any text on this screen.

So I bought another digital camera in the last PC show.
It is totally an unnecessary purchase. Well, only to satisfy my own vanity, and from that standpoint, it may actually be necessary. What I did not expect is to be told, after making the payment, that the ordered&confirmed color-of-my-choice is no longer available.
The fact that I made up my mind in 1/4 of the time I would normally take to decide on any purchases above $50 hinted that I would not take it lying down.
I wonder: Do sales people find it empowering to psyche customers out of what they have already paid for?
Sony Ericsson is looking for the world’s top 100 favourite tracks. My three votes are currently at the 636th, 957th, and 1840th positions. Not very promising huh?
What are your favourites?
4 slender lines of bumper-to-bumper traffic, nerves uncooling within the air-conditioned boxes – sometimes it is better to be stuck in a massive jam for 20 minutes then to be zipped past the buildings in boring familiarity.
A colleague asked, “Do you blog?” I am unsure. Does she want to know if I blog like what the newspapers have portrayed? Or like what I remember it to be?
As I unpacked a time capsule (shipped from Nottingham 3 years ago), the cards and letters from people I have gotten to know through the web are really amazing. Not discounting what is going on now (given the little information I have), as a true Cancerian, I believe we had it better.
Do you remember how it used to be?
Sidetrack : Even Nokia is blogging. Though I cannot understand why, N91 is still neat.
You stepped out of the train with a tinge of excitement for the impending shopping spree, then the 2-tonne cartoon paperweight dropped on you as you were left waiting for the shuttle for 40 mins. Free service is still a service, a concept not so obvious to some.
Working and relying on computer software only mean one thing – virus checks and updates. Ok that’s two. And running updates mean one more thing – inserting cd1 and cd2 ten times over. My fingers ached after the third time, wonder how is the rom doing.
And so PC Advisor is going under. I distinctly remember talking about the crowdiness of the IT section at the newspaper stand. Personally, it’s not that there aren’t enough people reading the magazines, there aren’t enough gadgets/ inventions/ interviews/ promotions to share among the printed matter.
Two daily tabloids. Pairs and pairs of eyes. Handful of drifting minds. Couple of text-ing fingers. Hardly any serious conversations. More often than not, travelling time is not well planned.
If you secretly enjoy drawing flowcharts (using the right symbols) or drafting the floorplan of your dream home, SmartDraw maybe worth considering. Especially when a PPT screen cannot handle the extra-large process flowcharts..
