Encrypt Your USB Drive
I lost my 8GB SD card recently. Hunted for it in my laptop, in the camera, in my secret compartment in my backpack, but alas, it was gone. There was only one place it could be now, and that was in my mother’s laptop, which I had used to copy some photos over for her. [...]
Read MorePlants vs Zombies iPhone Game Review
This game really deserves the 5 stars it has received in great abundance at the App Store. I bought it because I was curious how a game could garner such overwhelming reviews. 2 minutes into the game and I was hooked. The premise is simple: grow sunflowers to collect sunlight points to plant plants with [...]
Read MoreDeath by Spam
I finally bade farewell to my Yahoo email, setting it into its grave. It was a long and fruitful relationship but spammers got to it. I had used it as my website contact years ago but quickly switched to typing the various spam avoidance configurations such as emailaddress[at]yahoo.com, emailaddress[at]yahoo dot com, and even emailaddressNOSPAM[at]yahoo dot [...]

Yep, I betrayed my PC geek self and bought myself an Apple product. Why? Lack of substitutes, really. There’s nothing prettier or sleeker than the iPod Touch and though I still like to annoy my friends loyal to Apple by calling it the iTouch, I shall be PC (excuse the pun) and call it the [...]
Read MoreFlock Rocks
I’ve been using Flock for a while now and I have to say it rocks better than any other, even Firefox 3.0, which I find a vast improvement over Firefox 2 but its drop-down address bar just annoys me too much and I can’t be bothered to change it now that I have Flock. Its [...]
Read MoreMust-Have App for the Nokia N82
One of the faults with the N82 is that it is awfully hard to see the time when it is on screensaver or power-saving mode. Unlike the e61i and the 6280, it looks almost invisible. Since I am already half-blind, the Large Clock Screensaver is a real lifesaver. It shows you the time, date, and [...]
