I bought this Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X as well after seeing it on the shelf of Fuwell, love the look of the cooler at first glance after seeing it on some reviews. But my cousin was telling me that the egg cooler for my 5770 ( pic below ) looks better

Cost $50 more than the usual 5870 thou. Argh…

Here’s a pic to show the difference in length of 5770 and 5870.
Quite frustrated that I couldn’t overclock the 5770, the 2nd monitor will always flickers even with a bump of 5mhz to either core/memory.
*waves goodbye at the 2 months old Asus 5770*

Manage to OC my i7 920 to 3.78ghz with an idle temp of 38-39celcius, tortured overnight and peak at 72celcius with a voltage of 1.22V. I guess it could go lower than that, will try to lower the voltage more when I’m free

January 2010…suppose to be saving money period! aiks…

HAF 932 is a full ATX tower…it really lives up to its name – High Air Flow. Brandy the n00b dog likes new stuff…he sneaks into the room without us noticing and I chase him out after that, what if he swallows my processor…

HAF932 compared to my old rig…

This is the first time I assemble a PC on my own and I’ve to admit, it was damn fun!

Even with the help of Shuant, it took us hours haha

Will run PRIME95 later on and will try to OC the processor when I’ve the time, quite disappointed as initially I wanted to get a ATI5850, OCZ Ram and Samsung F3 spinpoint hdd but I couldn’t wait no more…so I just go for what is available on the shelf…bah…nonetheless, I’m quite satisfied with the system now </self-console>

I got too excited and didn’t really take photos of every parts and started to unbox them and started with the assembling asap.

SONY 小笔电可以放在裤子口袋
也太白痴了吧！！什么号称可以放在口袋里，SONY所有的人都瞎了吗？
没看到还有一大截在外面喔？！

My own translation:

Sony netbooks can fit into pocket…it’s utterly moronic!

Sony thinks everyone is blind?

There’s still one big portion outside!

Sony netbook

再来看看，别的电脑也能放进口袋

Let’s see, other computers also can fit into the pocket

Here’s my new cubicle…bought the 2 hats from Munich during Oktoberfest, so far I’ve never wear it during working hour inside the office ( my hair will get messed up ). That’s all for now folks!

I have been working in SG for 6-7 months as for now.  I am getting used to the daily routine of walking and taking public transport to work nowadays, nonetheless, I still miss driving a lot.

I have dropped the consideration of getting a motorbike, I realised that I actually learned a lot of new stuff by reading(stackoverflow.com, PG, Joel, Jeff, HackerNews etc RSS feed) in the MRT and bus.

The more I read, the more I realise my computer science knowledge is very weak. I plan to get this book, as it’s recommended by a lot of people but couldn’t find it in the bookstore, guess I will order it online soon.

How I love my friend’s place, went to his house overnight over the weekends and chit chatted for as long as I could remember, I rated it as 4 stars tangkap place!

And finally, gotten my new gear, a 24″ monitor from Dell.

Surprise?

In early stages of the poll, Time.com didn’t have any authentication or validation — the door was wide open to any client that wanted to stuff the ballot box.

Soon afterward, it was discovered that the Time.com Poll didn’t even range check its parameters to ensure that the ratings fell within the 1 to 100 range

What surprise me is that even big scale website like Time.com could make this kind of mistake, they didn’t have any authentication or validation AT ALL in the initial launch of the poll!

Actually the hackers are trying to convey a message. Interesting!

Inside the Precision Hack explains in details how the hackers manage to upvote and keep all the list in order. Interesting read I’d say

Jeff Atwood’s Design for Evil is a good read as well, always always always treat the input from your users as unsafe and evil.
