Lenovo S100 is not an Eye Candy

2011-12-15T15:31:00.004+08:00

Just got a new netbook!

My new baby is the blazing red Lenovo S100 with 2GB DDR3 RAM and 500 GB harddrive that runs in Intel® Atom N570 Dual-Core processor. More to it, it only costs P14,000 with preinstalled Windows 7 Starter. Its 10.1" LED display is enough for the eyes to create documents and spreadsheets and browse the net. Its 6-cell Li-Ion battery can run up to 5 hours of usual usage (browsing and typing).

It's handy especially when I am at my workplace in the rural area. I can surf the net using my Nokia C3-01 as modem through its bluetooth connection, no need for a cable connector and a heavy laptop (sweet!). I can also use it in Wifi zone area. It has an SD Card reader which you can use to easily transfer pics from your cam or phones. The keyboard will suit even the users with big fingers. The package comes with a silicon keyboard protector that matches the color of the netbook (mine is a red one).

The downside is, it has issues in video playback. You cannot rely on it to play all types of videos. The speakers are not so decent (means the sound is not audible even if the volume is in half) , you may need external speakers to enhance the sounds. Also, the Windows 7 Starter has limited functions, like changing desktop background and cannot utilize the desktop slideshow. The aero theme is not installed. But you can upgrade your OS up to Windows 7 Ultimate.
This new netbook revived my blogging activities so watch out for upcoming posts!

Smart Always On

2011-12-06T14:01:00.007+08:00

Smart offers a new "sulit" internet browsing rate. In it's "Always On" plan, it gives internet users a consumable per Volume Data Package. This means that you pay your connection based on your bandwidth use. It's cheaper compared to their unlimited surfing, with at least P20.00 you can enjoy a day surfing the net at 25 MB data package. Also, if you're using Opera Mini on your phone, with only P20.00, it works as if you are in unlimited browsing (with the restriction of downloading big files, of course). Webpage sizes ranges from 20-100kb. So, with the 25 MB data, you can visit as much as many pages you like. I've been using this package ever since. But when you prefer to download files from the net, enroll in Unlisurf.

This is available in Smart Buddy, Smart Broadband and Talk'n Text subscribers. When you have consumed your package, standard data charges applies, that is P10/30mins.

IconArea_Text="55500"

5. Press Ctrl-S and exit notepad. Refresh your Flashdrive window and you will see the change.
If you do not want to have a background, then skip the background picture part.

Note: You can also do this in any windows (i.e. My Documents, My Pictures, My Music). Just follow the instructions above.

Credits to my friend.

How to Uninstall Linux (Dual Boot with XP)?

2009-07-04T14:36:00.002+08:00

I had tried Ubuntu and Kubuntu on my ACER laptop with 256 MB RAM (dual boot with Windows). The cover says that the minimum requirement is 256 MB RAM but as I had observed, the speed is not optimized. People are suggesting that I should better install an Xubuntu, the lighter version of Ubuntu which can ran in a 128 MB RAM. So, how was I able to uninstall these distros under the Windows environment? The steps will only take about a minute or two.

What you need:
1.Your Windows XP Bootable CD.

Procedure:
Deleting the partition.
1. Run your computer in Windows mode.
2. Right-Click My Computer, Press G. You will be taken to the Computer Management.
3. Click Disk Management (found at the left-side list). Choose the partition you alloted for your Linux OS. Right-Click and choose Format.
4. Put your Windows CD on the optical drive and Restart Windows. Boot through the CD.

Deleting the GRUB Boot Loader.
1. When the Windows installation appear, choose Repair. A command prompt will appear then press 1 when it asks for the installation number, Enter.
2. If you do not have a password just press Enter; if you have, enter your Adminstrative password.
3. Enter "fixmbr" (without the quotations) and you're done. Exit and Restart (remember to remove the CD). The GRUB Loader will no longer appear during startup.

Kris Allen Performs the Finale Song

2009-05-22T08:03:00.004+08:00

After gaining 100 million votes, the highest season ever, American Idol closes with Kris Allen as its ultimate Idol. Kris sang the show's finale song "No Boundries" composed by Cara and is included in the Idol singles. This is the song to which the judges commented 'too great for him' (you can see all the veins on his neck as he reached the high notes).

I really thought Adam Lambert will have it. Yes, I will agree to a comment that "If American Idol is looking for a rock star, then Adam is the man!". But not much people today are into rock music and even emo music. I think Kris looks also made the fans vote for him.

All the top 13 Idols had their numbers during the show together with guest stars Jason Mraz, Queen Latifah, Keith Urban, Lionel Richie, KISS Steve Martin, Rod Stewart and with surprise appearance of Cara Diogardi.

The show also gave awards to some Idol-wannabe for their shocking attitude, overconfidence, and funny behaviors.

Provisioning Files for S40 Phones (Download and Request)

2009-05-17T12:11:00.008+08:00

I was able to learn how to make provisioning files. Users of S40 phones, you can now request internet profiles for your cp here. The prov files are important to your phones since most modded mobile applications require working proxy and some s40 phones do not have the option to edit this proxy.

Indicate the following on your request:
1. Name for your settings (i.e. Globe Proxy, Smart None, anything and should be a different name from those you already have in your phone)
2. APN
3. Proxy address
4. Port

If you don't know if your phone need this, check out the list of S40 phones. Choose your proxies from here if you haven't got one (only those with 8080 and 80 ports).
Note to Foreign readers, you can also have your request just follow my instructions above.

How to install:
1. Download your requested prov file, unzip it, then send it to your phone via infrared or bluetooth. DON'T just copy paste the file to your memory card, it wont't work. If your PC doesn't have bluetooth or infra, you can ask someone who has a bluetooth/Infra phone and copy-paste the file in his memory card. Then, SEND the file to your phone via BT/IR and make sure that it ask for saving the file. Press Yes and ignore the "no supported applications" notice.
2. In your phone, go to Settings>Configuration>Choose Smart Prepaid or Globe Prepaid (your network).
3. Go to Activate Default in All Apps>Select Yes. Choose the name of the prov file you just installed and that's it.
3. Run your applications and they will surely work. If you have many applications with different needed proxies, you have to activate the necessary proxy settings each time you open them. If you haven't requested from Globe/Smart the default GPRS settings, Globe Smart download and install them.

To start with, I had created the usually sought settings (just click and download):
-No proxy for Globe Smart
-Working proxy as of May 17: Globe Smart

Use the comment form for your request. I will only e-mail files when I have time.

Thanks to www.thinkdigit.com and hotshot05.page.tl where I found the softwares and tutorial on how to make your own prov files.

Opera Turbo Faster Speed for Low-End Connections

2009-05-16T00:04:00.003+08:00

If you use your cellphone as modem or you have a dial-up connection, then you are one of those people who tired up waiting for a site to load completely. The Opera Lab is now perfecting Opera Turbo to ease out that tiresome scenario. Opera Turbo provides a faster browsing experience through your limited-bandwidth connection by compressing network traffic.

This is also a big saver for those who are in per KB charge because it lowers the KB received in their network.

Websites will load in the same text and layout, flash contents are supported but images will be served in lower resolution due to the compression delivered by Turbo. Images are still fine so you can still enjoy some works from flicker, myopera and deviantart.

If you have 100MB speed connection, Turbo will most likely not give you an enhanced Turbo browsing (you are already having a blast, I think it's the maximum connection).

To sum it up: CP Modem or Dial-up + Opera Turbo = Speed Up Browsing at Lower Cost

Opera Turbo is contained in Opera 10, the upcoming version of Opera Desktop browser.

Download Opera Turbo for

Windows
Mac
The software is still in beta stage but based on my experience, it's effective already. It's giving me at most 2MB traffic saved.

Free Call from Globe Mobile Chat (for only 15 Pesos)

2009-05-15T23:05:00.004+08:00

My sister was able to teach me how we can call each other free forever (huh?). But really, it's absolutely free to call but it needs registration and some amount from your wallet. Importantly, it requires BOTH party to register and should have to maintain a balance of 7.50 in their account.

Requirements:
15 pesos load (from your phone and from the one whom you want to have free call 4ever. So, technically, it's 30 pesos all.
Think of a unique name for both of you
.

Here's how (Should be done on both cellphone numbers, two to tango):
1. The two of you need to register by texting REG URUNIQUENAME to 2323. Example: REG AENID. P2.50/text sent.
2. After you receive a message, text CALL ON to 2323.
3. A message will then appear in your inbox, never mind that and then text CALL YOURFRIENDREGNAME to 2323. In this part, you should know the unique name of your friend, bf/gf, parents, etc. A virtual number of your friend will be sent to you and you have to use this number whenever you have to call him/her. Your friend will also receive your virtual number and he also has to use it to call you.

You will spend 7.50 throughout the whole process and the remaining 7.50 in your account will be your maintaining balance to be able to make calls. Each call is not charge that's why we call it free and more to it, with no expiration.

Remember both of you must register to make this free call possible. All calls are cut every 5 mins.

Enjoy!
Credits to my younger sis for the info.

American Idol, the Final Two

2009-05-15T08:12:00.007+08:00

Danny Gokey was eliminated from last night's American Idol. His performance last Wednesday was out-shined by the two other competitors, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. I really think that he wasn't his best during the two round match.

Kris may have flopped during the first round but he was able to gain position when he performed the risky acoustic tune of Heartless. Randy Jackson said that Kris' version surpassed Kanye West's original. As usual, the Rock God Adam was favorited by the judges. Simon Cowell even commented "We'll be seeing you next week" and he was the only best contestant they ever had in the show. He was noted for the high notes, creativity and crowd pleasing charm. Though I think that he was doing same kinds of performance throughout the last weeks. Same genre, always with high notes, sorry guys I am not a Rock Music fan.

Will Adam have a sure win next week? Or will Kris be able to capture lots of votes with his looks and humble personality.
Watch American Idol Finale at QTV or at Star World on Wednesday 6pm via satellite or at primetime 8:30 pm. Replays at 5:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday at QTV. I think it's in the morning on Star World

N73: A Delayed Review

2009-04-27T20:09:00.000+08:00

Unfortunately, I dropped my two-month old N70 while riding a bus. It's my second Nokia phone after my N6230. Since, I was already having the feel of the NSeries, I look for a cheaper phone with a wider screen, higher megapixel camera and can be used as modem. I was able to explore my cousin's N73 and I was impressed on the clarity of its camera. So, I look up the internet for its features and it satisfied my requirements. I bought one last February and had been using it to browse the internet in a handy way. I have the classic version. There are other versions such as the Internet Edition and Music Edition.

When I bought the phone, I settled with its features and neglected its build. It has 3.2 MP
Camera with Carl Zeiss lens, HSCD, 40 MB internal Memory, Infrared, Bluetooth, supports java apps and more. All features are good enough for my budget and for my needs. What disappointed me is its joystick and its camera cover. The joystick looks like it will loose and pop out within a half years use. It's very prone to being pulled out especially whhen I put it in my bag and forgot to place the phone in its pouch. After a month use, it's already showing sign of looseness. I read from forums that joystick placement costs around PhP 1500. As for the back slide cover, you cannot easily replace it with a cheap casing because the camera is dependent on it. You have to be careful everytime you open the back cover because there are exposed pins on the right side which are connected to the camera. Another thing, the door of the memory card slot is made of stiff plastic so when you open the slot, make sure you don't break the thin connecting plastic. On other phones, that part is a flexible material.

Also, the phone is also becoming slow to respond. I am already experiencing hangs in my installed applications and the startup is taking more than 30 seconds. I don't store mp3's on it and the pictures are just few but I have lots of mobile applications as you can relate them with this blog. I had read that the RAM is around 12 MB at restart and the Lifeblog Apps is causing the slow performance. But, the Lifeblog cannot be uninstalled. Others say you should always upgrade the firmware but I am not interested to take the risk of bricking the phone and compromising the photo quality.

On the bright side, I like the softness of the keypad. I used to drop my N70 before becuase the keypad is cluttered and the clear (C) key is so near the edge. And it has a sleep function which saves my battery life. By the way, if you want to put a wallpaper, it won't fit the whole screen, only 80% of it.

Aed-Dloader: Download Directly from Sites with Counters

2009-04-26T01:29:00.007+08:00

Aed-Dloader is an application which lets mobile users download files directly from file hosting sites like Mediafire, Rapidshare, 4shared, Megaupload and Plunder. It can also download attached files from the Symbianize.com forum as well as files coming from direct sharing links. It was developed by Aed as for the name, who is an active member of different mobile forums.

It uses the @trick technique in order to bypass charges coming from the network providers here in the Philippines (I think it's also used in other countries). The software is free so as the downloading charges. It's great isn't it?

In case your downloading big files and the progress was interrupted, the software provides you the autoresume function so that you won't need to restart all over. It also saves the last download link in case it failed to download or you may want it for future use.

Supported phones:
· All CLDC 1.0 and MIDP 2.0 mobile phones
· Tested working on Nokia N73, Nokia N70, Nokia 6300, Nokia 6500, Nokia N82, Nokia
· 6682, Nokia 6600, Nokia 6630, Nokia 5310, Nokia 3310, Sony Ericsson K800.

I tested it with my N73 and N70 using Smart and Globe Sim card. As for my experience, downloading speed varies depending on the time period. It can be as fast as 16 kbps and as slow as 2 kbps. A fast proxy can also affect the speed.

How to use it:
1. Download the Aed-Dloader 4.4.5 (.jar) in Softpedia. Direct link (Remove .zip after download). There's a newer version already but it is a modded one. You can try it here Modded by DJ (Remove .zip after download). They only differ with the interface.
2. Install and run Aed-Dloader. Allow it to read and write user data.
3. Type your download link (from MS, MU, RS, 4shared, etc). You can also copy-paste if your phone allows you. By default, the @trick is enabled. So, just press Options and Select Next.
4. Use Smart GPRS/Smart/SmartMMS when it asks to connect to the internet and locate the file. For Globe users, setup a new internet profile with http.globe.com.ph as APN and input this proxy 219.234.81.63 at port 80. Alternative proxies: 62.94.22.204:8080 or 41.221.254.11:80. If the proxies are not working, choose one from here (only those proxies at port 8080 or 80). A page with the filename of your download link will appear together with the @trick to be used (the @trick can be renamed to wap.smart.com.ph, wap.igma.tv). It will save the file in your memory card (E:) by default but you are free to change it to your desired path and your prefered filename. The page will be like this:

5. Click Options and download the file. Wait until it completes its process.

I tried downloading from mediafire but an error occured. MF cannot locate the file though I am sure it's there. In megaupload, it connects but the filename is missing only the E:/ appears. Maybe I was trying to download password protected files. It works in 4shared. Haven't tried RS, though. Smart users can install that with no charge but needs maintaining balance below 10php.

Credits to Aed for providing us this free and useful tool. To the modder DJ/The Brothers of Doom. Also to www.Softpedia.com for the download link and for www.PinoyDen.com for the links.

How to Edit Proxies and Ports in Your Cellphones

2009-04-24T09:24:00.003+08:00

Some techniques are needed in order to browse for free using OM, UCWEB, Bolt or your default browser and one of this is to know how to edit your proxies and ports. I am familiar with the Nseries. Some phones needs the prov files, you can download and request here if there's no edit options in your phone. I had tried doing this with Nokia 6230 which is an S40 2nd Ed phone and they said it needs prov files. Maybe that time I found my way around and was able to make the prov files manually. ANyway, I had indicated the process for both types. If you are using other brand, it can have a little difference in the process, like the names in the menu, etc.

Make sure you have the default settings for your network. (For Smart: SET fonemodel send to 211 or Globe: GO fonemodel send to 2951 for free) Example: SET N70)

Procedure:
NSeries/S60 phones
1.Go to Tools>Settings>Connection>AccessPoints>Options>New
Select Use existing settings (choose SmartInternet or myGlobe INET)
2. Rename Access Point to say, Smart Net or Globe Net. Any name.
3. Press Options>Advanced Settings
4. Scroll down and you will see the default Proxy serv address and the port. Edit them with the proxy you have to use. Exit and your done. Once you run your phone browser, you can find this profile in the selection of network use.

N6230 likes/S40 phones
Smart users:
Go to Web>Settings>ConnectionSettings>Active web setting
Activate 'empty'. Then go to Edit web settings. Rename it.
homepage: http://wap.smart.com.ph
Enable proxies.
Primary proxy: edit with the proxy you have
Port: edit with the port you have
Data bearer: GPRS
Go to Bearer settings.
GPRS access point: internet
Authentication type: Normal

Globe users:
Go to Web>Settings>ConnectionSettings>Active web setting
Activate 'empty'. Then go to Edit web settings. Rename it.
homepage: http://www.globe.com.ph/globe.asp
Enable proxies.
Primary proxy: edit with the proxy you have
Port: edit with the port you have
Data bearer: GPRS
Go to Bearer settings.
GPRS access point: http.globe.com.ph
Authentication type: Normal

Whenever you run your browser, it will automatically be the default one. In case you need to activate your original default profile, just go to Web>Settings>ConnectionSettings>Active web setting and Activate your default myglobe or Smart one.

FREE Internet Using CP as Modem

2009-04-09T23:45:00.007+08:00

GLOBE users only.
Free internet using cellphone as modem! I don't know how long it's been up, I just recognized it today.
I knew that I only have 20 pesos in my account. And to my surprise, I was able to use the internet for more than 4 hours, I checked my balance and it's zero already. Then, I tried to connect again and voila I am in. Browsing with no load!

Here's how to do it, with no trick whatsoever:
Must have:

1. Cellphones that can be used as modem i.e. N-series, 3G phones
2. PC Suite for your mobile brand. As for me, I am using N73 and Nokia PC Suite (Link).
3. IE, Opera, Firefox, any browser.

Procedure:

1. Open PC Suite.
2. Connect your cellphone (via Bluetooth or Cable) and wait for PC Suite to recognize your phone.
3. Click "Connect to Internet" icon on the PC Suite startup page.
4. While it's doing the autoconnect function, click the "Configure" icon (the wrench at the lower portion).
5. Click Next. Tick "Configure Connection Manually" and hit Next. Input http.globe.com.ph under Access point. Leave the rest blank and click finish.
6. Click Connect (the icon at left of configure).
7. Open your browser and go to your favorite websites.

I don't know how long it will last. But grab it while it's there. Browsing using mobile is also free. Just configure your myGlobe Connect or Inet profiles and delete the proxies and ports. It works even with built-in browser.

UPDATE: Free internet has ended on April 13. So this doesn't work anymore. Back to using tricks. Free Browsing Using Tricks

Modded Mobile Applications (Working on Smart and Globe)

2009-04-07T09:27:00.055+08:00

The included modded applications in this post are from the different forums and the credits go to the respective authors. In case I violated something, just inform me and I will edit this. This is the result of my continuous reading as well as testing of the applications so I can assure you that they are fully working (except for the streaming function). The apps will let users use the service free of charge. What I can’t indicate is the supported phone models and platforms. I had tried and installed them on N73 which is an S60 v30 and supports Java applications. Just try to download and install them and check the results. All are in jar format and can be downloaded directly. The links are credited to those who have uploaded them.

In case you don't know how to edit your proxies, go to
How to Edit proxies and ports in Your Cellphones or Download .prov files (S40 users) You can also request GPRS settings from (Smart: SET fonemodel send to 211 or Globe: GO fonemodel send to 2951 for free)

Smart Night Call 15

2009-03-30T16:39:00.003+08:00

Smart offers call night long, an unlimited call service Smart starting 11pm to 6am. For only PhP 15!

To avail the service, text
NYT15 to 8566
Register anytime of the day. Registration is good for one day. Maintain P1 balance to make calls.
To make calls, dial *8566+Smart/TNT#(Ex. *856609191234890)

I advise that you register after 11pm to be able to make calls until the night of the next day.
One flaw, is that the calls are cut off after 5 mins, unlike the unli call from Globe which can take more than 20 mins. Also, making calls during the covered time span needs patience. You have to try and try because the "All numbers are busy now, please try your call later" will continue to ring in your ears. And if you happen to make a call with the *8566 in it outside the covered time period, you will be charged P1. I hate this in Smart, because every wrong keyword sent is charged. They should try sending error notices for free.

It's a Kaleidoscope World

2009-03-11T11:19:00.014+08:00

The Master Rapper, Francis Magalona, is gone but his songs will remain.
Honestly, I am not into rap music. This is the only song that I have loved from his music.

I used the lyrics when my professor in English asked us to analyze a song in poetic sense.
The content is a powerful call to everyone. It reflects that our differences should not be a hindrance for us to work things out in our survival. WE can create a better world. Just like a kaleidoscope which consists of various colors but when you put them together, wonderful images are produced.

Kaleidoscope World - Francis Magalona

Free Download Kaleidoscope World MP3

Kaleidoscope World
(Popularized by Francis Magalona)
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most

Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

Problems after Moving Feedburner Account to Google

2009-03-10T19:31:00.003+08:00

For almost two weeks, my feedburner stats had been showing 0 subscriber.

I was hesitant to move my feeds before when they offered the transfer your feedburner account to google. I know the task after the transfer will be much more (you have to update everything that concerns feeds in this blog, widgets, blogosphere, etc). But after continuous refusal to this offer, I was left with no option but to move my account to see my feed stats.

I successfully moved it. The name of this site used to be Information Lot. But changing the name to i-Share did not cause my feed's functionality to alter. People can still subscribe in the previous feed address (feeds.feedburner.com/InformationLot). But after the transfer, my feed was updated to http://feeds2.feedburner.com/InformationLot. So, I thought putting a 2 in the address will not cause any problem. Google had assured me that all the traffic in my previous feed address will be redirected to this new address.

So, I let it stay as is. The message said:
Your feed has been moved into this new account, and your stats have been loaded up. If you see "0" for the most recent full day, don't panic! It may take up to a week for a feed's full dose of stats to appear in your new account. I relied on that message. But after two weeks of hoping, I still see 0 subscribers.

I clicked my site's RSS icon and I was given an error message. I figured out that the problem is in feed address. I don't know how to solve this problem so, I just burn a new feed address and start all over again. I have to update every posts and widgets to make the feeds work. I was running away from this task of updating the blog's feeds but I still ended doing it. I hope you will not replicate this dumb move of mine. Don't try to change your blog title if you have are using feeds.

Deathbug

2009-03-09T15:43:00.003+08:00

Reality and its future are quite gloomy. Last night, I was able to watch the Maalaala Mo Kaya episode (ABS-CBN) and the life of Francis Magalona (GMA). The MMK episode depicted what I Love You Forever means while the Jessica Soho documentary showed who Francis Magalona was, the kind of person he has been, his battle for the big C, and the impact of his life to other people. The MMK is the story of what life is at old age and the documentary is a version of living for a short time.

Life leads to death whether you like it or not. The reality only offers two ways of dying, either you die young or you die old. We all have the ‘switch of death’ that can be triggered by illness, accident or murder and age is not a predicting factor. The actual death will take only a negligible fraction of your lifetime though dying may take some of your lifespan. As what Morrie did (Tuesdays with Morrie), The most important thing is not how you died but how you lived even if you are dying. Dr. Gregory House also quoted that Almost dying changes things but dying changes everything. But the dying stage is not applicable to some individuals because those individuals will experience the sudden death. So, it is always better if we are prepared. We should not wait for our dying stage before we make something out of our lives. Dying is not our checkpoint to slow down and ponder on our purpose. Instead, we live out our lives, do what is right and reach out to people. They may be clichés but they are the honest truths.

How do you want your life to end? As for me, I want it to be sudden. Though unexpected death can cause more pain to the people around you than death with prior notice.

Perry Mason Ebooks Collection

2009-03-07T17:38:00.011+08:00

Perry Mason is a fictitous character created by Erle Stanley Gardner. He is a defense attorney who only takes cases if he thinks they are complicated and risky. For a detailed account of who he is, check the Wikipedia entry.

Perry Mason has a character similar to Sherlock Holmes (Arthur Conan Doyle) and to Dr. Gregory House (David Shore). So, if you happen to like them then you will also want to read Mason's cases. There used to be a TV series for the books.

Gardner was able to laymanize some of court and law jargons like court proceedings, wills, murders and heirs so readers comprehend the processes even without prior knowledge on them.

Here are some synopsis of Gardner's series. The novels always start with "The Case of..."

Download the Ebooks Part1
The Case of the Crying Swallow (short story)(1947) — Major Claude Winnett, war hero, lives with his wife and mother on a vast sea-side estate. Some jewelry is missing, and his wife has disappeared.

The Case of the Blonde Bonanza (1962) - Mason thinks it's crazy that someone is paying a beautiful girl $100 a week to put on weight, but she might be a missing heir -- or a murderer. "A diabolically clever variation on the confidence game of the "lost heir" is the foundation of this delightful caper, in which Perry Mason once again sees through the machinations of people generally quite as able as himself. ... Again, the court scene is thrilling and brilliant."

The Case of the Counterfeit Eye (1935) - "Peter Brunold has a bloodshot glass eye to use the "morning after". It is distinctive, closely identified with him, and thus quite a handicap when a corpse is found clutching a bloodshot glass eye. Later, another corpse is found, with another bloodshot glass eye in hand. Perry Mason is in almost as much jeopardy as his client: the lawyer's fingerprints have been found on one of the alleged murder weapons."

The Case of the Caretaker's Cat (1935) - After his employer dies in a fire, a caretaker hires Mason to allow him to keep his cat against the wishes of the men who inherit. When the caretaker is killed, Mason defends the woman accused of his murder.

The Case of the Dangerous Dowager (1937) - Mason is hired to retrieve a spoiled granddaughter's gambling IOUs by a wealthy cigar-smoking dowager. A murder aboard a gambling ship is beyond the three-mile limit.

The Case of the Curious Bride (1935) — A woman claiming not to be a bride consults Mason about her 'friend' whose husband, long thought to have died in a plane crash, turns up alive.

The Case of the Baited Hook (1940) - Mason is given a third of a $10,000 bill to represent a masked woman in the future. It takes him almost until the murder trial to find out which cheating woman is his client.

Download Ebooks Part2
The Case of the Daring Divorcee (1964) A purse containing thousands of dollars and a twice-fired gun is left in Mason's office, but his potential client has disappeared.

The Case of the Howling Dog (1934) - "When a potential client wants to see Perry Mason about a howling dog and a will, the attorney is not interested. He does not enjoy drawing wills, and wonders if the man shouldn't see a veterinarian. However, when the man asks whether a will is legal if the person who made it had been executed for murder, immediately Mason becomes interested. He finds, in addition to the will and the dog, a man who had run away with the wife of another, and a sexy housekeeper."

The Case of the Horrified Heirs (1964) - Mason defends a woman twice; once on drug smuggling charges, and once on murder charges.

The Case of the Lazy Lover (1947) - A man tells everyone that his wife has run away with his best friend, who seems to have a strange lack of enthusiasm about the affair. The case leads to murder and a trial that hinges on multiple sets of footprints.

The Case of the Foot-Loose Doll (1958) - Mason defends a woman against charges of two murders - she has already stolen $4,000, stabbed a man with an ice pick and fled a fatal accident but he is convinced she is innocent of murder.

The Case of the Fenced-In Woman (published posthumously) (1972) - Mason becomes involved in the bizarre case of a house split right through the living room with a barbed-wire fence -- and a body in the pool.

The Case of the Lucky Legs (1934) - A mistake at a murder scene dogs Perry while he tries to represent a woman taken in by a con man.

Download Ebooks Part3
The Case of the Troubled Trustee (1965) - Why would a talented investment advisor embezzle a quarter of a million dollars from his client 'for her own good?' Mason first advises him, then defends him as the case becomes murder.

The Case of the Sleepwalker's Niece (1936) - When two men change bedrooms at a house-party, everyone thinks that the sleepwalker with the carving knife killed the wrong man.

The Case of the Stuttering Bishop (1936) — Mason gets a telephone call from a man who identifies himself as Anglican Bishop William Mallory, recently returned from many years in Australia, and tells Mason that he will testify on the behalf of Mason's client, if Mason can find him. But Mason observes that a bishop who's delivered many sermons is unlikely to stutter.

The Case of the Velvet Claws (1933) - A spoiled woman is keen to keep news of her affairs from her powerful husband, even if it costs Perry his freedom when she swears he was on the murder scene.

The Case of the Sulky Girl (1933) - A bratty heiress wants to keep the news of her marriage a secret from the guardian who controls her purse strings, but when he's murdered, her groom is accused.

The Case of the Singing Skirt (1959) - Mason's client is framed for theft and fired because she wouldn't help cheat a casino patron. Then she's accused of murder, and the gun juggling begins. "The court scene is excellent; the characters, though thin as usual, are amply credible; and the pace never flags."
