Best RSS Reader for iPhone: Newsrack
Newsrack still reigns supreme even after I experimented with a few others. I must confess I was taken in by its looks: But seriously, I never use that screen. Instead it is usually this screen that is refreshed and read daily. What I like: 1. The ease of using Google Reader with it. Login and it [...]
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 MoreCredit Card Number Not Working for TBC Upgrade
I had this same problem the last time I tried the direct online upgrading to The Burning Crusade and just gave up. The irony was that Blizzard had accepted the same credit card for my monthly subscription. This time I had more at stake. I just hit level 60 and could not earn any more [...]
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 [...]
Read MoreThat FFmpeg Problem on Vista
Words cannot express how much I *loathe* Vista. Those of you who have followed my blogs back when must recall . Anyway… this one is like a mosquito buzzing around your head. You try to ignore it, hoping it will go away. Then get annoyed and try to slap it but it fail. Finally, like [...]
Read MoreBest iPhone Games in 2009
After months with my iTouch now, I feel I know it as well as the back of my hand. So does Jack, my almost-3 year-old, hence more apps have been downloaded for him than myself and I daresay he spends more time on it than me. Educational games of course, and here are the best, [...]
Read MoreBlack Screen on Monitor Fix
This happened to me twice. Once on my Lenovo and today again on hubby’s desktop. After booting and running the Windows start up screen, the monitor blanks out. Something about analog or digital. I just wanted to shake the monitor into waking up again. Anyway, with the laptop it was easy since it works with [...]
Read MoreWait! Before you buy that iTouch! Read here first.
Things I wish I knew before I bought the iTouch. (Sorry, it is just so much easier to say than iPod Touch so I’m going to regress. 1. No wall charger! After years of buying non-Apple stuff, I never knew the iTouch would come WITHOUT a wall charger. It comes with a USB charger to [...]
Read MoreWhy I Bought the iPod Touch
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 MoreWoW – the Fix
After persisting another day, I eliminated the final possibility. I read this forum post about the Hostage of Comodo Firewall Pro and knew this must be it! Firewall conflict – that’s what the nice Blizzard lady Leah wrote and told me. So here’s what I did. In Vista (yes, still using that confounded thing), under [...]

She has since retired to raise her children but still spends most of her waking hours on the net, no thanks to Apple. Here are some of her adventures.
