Electrical Plug with Latest Design

ChiewFan — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 08:44:04 +0000

The Royal College of Art’s graduate show has opened, and this year, the show-stopper was actually — a plug. Min-Kyu Choi impressed every passerby with his neat, apparently market-ready plug that folds down to the width of a thin mobile computer.

“Many of today’s mobile computers have become wafer thin but here in the UK, we still use the world’s biggest three-pin plug,” says Choi.

Enter Choi’s slimmed down British three-pin plug wonder.

Choi’s plug is just 10mm wide when folded. To unfold it, the two live pins swivel 90 degrees and the plastic surround folds back around the pins so the face of the plug looks the same as a standard UK plug.

The idea produced a spin off, too. Choi created a multi-plug adaptor, which is a compact standard plug sized unit with space for three folded plugs to slot in, as well as one that charges USB devices.

The multi-plug adaptor has an ultra-compact sandwich design that enables three compatible plugs to cohabit side by side to take up a remarkable small amount of room.

It’s so plausible and so obvious a product that it should produce a few red faces; how many more years are we going to endure attaching our palm sized mobiles and wafer thin laptops to an object that’s barely been touched since its first design in 1946?

Choi picked an everyday product that most other designers might have found too mundane to dabble with and drastically improved it – exactly the kind of thinking that we should be celebrating right now.

A very clean and elegantly simple solution to an age-old British problem

An incredible way to feed power directly to charge USB devices – a solution no one has thought about. Till now.

人生何處不laughing

–Innovative Poem

閉上眼好好thinking，
人生就像一幅painting，
點點滴滴如何coloring，
還看你今怎樣planning？
有人怨天尤人經常crying，
有人餐搵餐食掛住shopping，
有人遊戲人間鍾情playing，
有人空談理想齋talking；
也有人永不停步不斷struggling，
像薛家燕雖然百病纏身令她suffering，
但為了子女將來的美好living，
依然不理手術後傷口仍在paining，
繼續拍劇繼續working，
令聞者worrying，
聽者touching，
都說母愛永遠最是shinning。
當時光列車不斷在身旁高速passing，
頭上白髮告訴你青春不會waiting，
你不期然開始wondering，
為何幸運之神總是未有coming，
前路彷彿有着數之不盡的蕉皮令你slipping，
成功的燈塔卻遠在天邊未能climbing，
莫非永遠龍游淺水，就像那條座頭鯨?swimming？
想當初百多元買入匯豐當作saving，
誰知股票竟一再falling，
怎不教人shocking？
既然捉不到高位沽貨的timing，
又經歷身家大縮水的losing，
開始看透富貴只如天際clouding，
這分鐘享受winning，
下一秒卻只有nothing。
何不找一個陽光普照的morning，
走到郊外試試hiking，
聽小鳥無愁地singing，
看地上蟻群悠閒地walking，
還有風聲蟬鳴蛙叫讓你listening；
再放眼looking，
天上飛鳥自在地flying，
是不是很好feeling？
誰說人生boring？
看大自然的amazing，
感受活着的pleasing!
來吧！do something！
不要沉迷於drinking或sleeping，
總有人令你missing，
總有目標讓你朝着running，
哪怕dying，
哪怕raining，
信自己是最charming，
替自己在生命冊上預留一個booking，
寫下無悔今生的happy ending！
最後讓我們ask for God’s blessing!

PHP Cannot modify header information

ChiewFan — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:44:31 +0000

Problem:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at blah blah blah) in blahblahblah.php on line 90

Cause:
PHP script has output before calling header().

2 ways to get rid of this:

In php.ini, Set output_buffering to On. If no access to php.ini because of using shared hosting, add “PHP_FLAG output_buffering on” into .htaccess file.
Code your PHP using proper way. Put all Database queries in front,have all (self-generated) functions return data only, build you HTML code inside a variable, print that variable at the end of the page.

Remove Outlook Folder from List with Missing pst

ChiewFan — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:59:14 +0000

I accidentally deleted a .pst file without closing the the Folder in folder list. When Outlook opens, it looks for this missing .pst. and I cannot close it from the list anymore.

To solve this problem:
With outlook closed, goto Control panel > Mail > Data Files. Create a new file
and set it as default. Then remove the reference to the deleted file in
the same screen. The Folder with missing pst files was removed from the Folder List.

Safari 4 vs IE vs Firefox

Very user friendly (for my browsing style)..

Highly recommended to my friends.

WIFI Vs Internet Access

ChiewFan — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:50:51 +0000

Last week me and my friends went to a shopping mall. We decided to find a restaurant with Internet access for some discussions. We found one restaurant in lower ground floor with the “Free WiFi” sign board and ordered our foods there.

Next, my friend took out his notebook and connect it to the “Free WiFi” service. After keyed in the given password, the waiter informed us about the bad quality of WiFi signal there.

The interesting part is, we can connect to the WiFi; but not INTERNET. We spend money eating there with the laptop powered on as the decoration of a “Free WiFi” restaurant =.=

Nowadays “Free WiFi” signboard became a tools to pull customers. It should be changed to “Free Internet Access”.

Note:

WiFi means Wireless Local Area Network

太阳公公起床了
公鸡喔喔把我们叫
你追我赶大家赛跑
看谁最先到学校
看到孩子可爱的笑
多少辛劳也忘了
老师早同学们好
我们开始上课了

老师讲课我睡着了
老师发问我把头摇
望着黑板心在沙滩
你扮渔民我扮海盗
现在读书不用功
将来后悔太迟了
老师早同学们好
我们开始上课了

昨日送走成材的木
今日灌溉新幼苗
老师早同学们好
我们开始上课了
老师早同学们好
我们开始上课了
