Before the Windows Vista release for public consumption I already use some of the graphical feature that makes Vista a cool OS. If you know Stardock Central apps you may find Vista interface is just an upgrade of XP with built-in Stardock windowblinds minus the AERO which is the main attraction in Vista.
As a PC Modder and Gamer I want my PC to run faster as possible, but with my last PC Mod that I built from scratch using some old hardware and I decided to fuel it by Vista instead of XP so that it will be more compatible in almost latest PC games and to make most out of my games graphics option. My first meet with Vista is not so good with those entire flashy new interfaces make my system run slow almost like crawling. It was sometime frustrating when deadline almost their and your computers takes  awhile to run all the application you need to use. Technically, the Aero interface may look as though it requires loads of graphics processing power to function properly. With Aero- needing minimum of DirectX 9, Pixel Shader 2.0 and 128MB of Video Memory. But the good news is that the systems equipped with almost any current graphics board will have sufficient muscle to run application equally quickly regardless of whether the Aero turned on or off.
But with all those problems the Windows Vista is still stand out compare to XP, and for added info upgrading to Vista is a better way for business, even for small business. With every new PC you buy with Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate installed, it includes 24/7 free support, compatibility assistance, and one-on-one coaching from Microsoft to help ensure a smooth transition of all your important documents and you can talk directly to Windows Vista specialist for better and efficient support. Vista has also a better, stronger security, it’s the most secure Windows release to date and with Windows Backup and Restore Center combine with BitLocker Drive Encryption you will surely that your precious data is in good hand, safeguarded and more peace of mind to you.

Computers is what I can say my everyday buddy, I work 8 hours in front of the computer and extra 3hours in front of the computers at home. I also love reading books, magazine and some article in the computers that I printed and read it on the bus on my way to work and home.

In short I use my eyes too much. Right now I can still enjoy my sight but how if it was been started to degrade what will be my option, contact lenses, eyeglass or surgery? As far as I know eyeglass is the cheapest choice but the drawback is quite hard to get use to it, same as the contact lenses the maintenance is really demanding and a hassle if you have a night life or even in your sports activity.

Good thing there is LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) - a type of surgery that’s meant to correct vision problems. It’s a great service for some people like me, to improved vision and no need for glasses or even contact lenses. The procedure concentrates on the cornea — the clear, thin surface layer that helps focus light that enters the eye. During lasik, the surgeon cuts a thin flap in the cornea and then folds the flap to the side. Then, using a laser, the doctor reshapes the cornea underneath the opening. The flap is then laid back in place and the cornea heals without the use of stitches which make it cool! But as the technology evolve so fast, now a modern lasik combines with 3D mapping and customized treatments for the 1st all-laser technology which been get approved by the US Military & NASA for their personnel and even for astronauts wherein clear vision is the main aspect for their job.
But not everyone is eligible to have lasik. One thing to consider, it can be risky to undergo lasik if your corneas are thin, since tissue is removed from the cornea during the procedure. Also, a minority of patients may be too near- or farsighted for the procedure, since too much tissue may need to be removed. Women who are pregnant or nursing are also often advised not to get the procedure. Serious complications are less than 1%. Some lasik patients have experienced glare, halos or double vision at night or in other low-light conditions. This issues that aren’t reflected in the 20/20 number, which only indicates that a person can see clearly from 20 feet away what people with normal vision would see at that distance. Most who experience these problems find that they improve in four to six weeks after surgery, according to the refractive surgery society. In rarer cases, they last longer or don’t go away.
So if you are considering to have a lasik and tire of wearing contact lenses or eyeglasses, find a person who know person who take lasik or person take in lasik procedure before, ask for referrals to a good physician, I suggest take your own research and for more LASIK information, please visit www.thelasikfacts.com

The “Raiders of the Forgotten Console” -Part 2

It was 2 weeks ago when I start my treasure hunting and in my first adventure I manage to grab one of the Xbox console that’s been release 4 years ago in a limited supply here in the Land of Maple Leaf, which is known in a modern time as Canada, eh!.

After two weeks, a new adventure come to my attention and immediately I grab my car key and headed down on the street again looking for all street sign with different colors and home made signages hanging on all possible places like tree, street light post or even cars. After checking a lot of museum, reading old books and magazines, vinyl records and even old clothes for hour I still can’t find what I’m looking for. Finally after following the arrows corner to corner I finally find the golden balloons with some red and blue where the treasure lay upon under the heat of the sun flashing like it was waiting for me and telling me “here I am please save me, take me home and play me, use me and enjoy the time where we can be together, forever.

I think this is what you call the “Indiana Jones hang over”. So let back to more real life story, what I actually want to tell you guys is I found a “Nintendo 64″ console in one of the garage sale this weekend for only $20 with everything to make it run except only to a game cartridge. So I run to EBGames as usual and look for the games but unfortunately it was worth $15, just a $5 cheaper in my N64console and most of the games was sports so I think my next adventures is to find a Mario games cartridge. The adventures never end, see you in my next quest, my Sega adventures (hopefully).

Here’s a tidbits about Nintendo 64:

The Nintendo 64 (ニンテンドウ64, Nintendō Roku Jū Yon^?, NINTENDO64), often abbreviated as N64, is Nintendo’s third home video game console for the international market. Named for its 64-bit processor, it was released on June 23, 1996 in Japan, September 29, 1996 in North America, March 1, 1997 in Europe and Australia, September 1, 1997 in France and December 10, 1997 in Brazil. It is notable for being Nintendo’s last home console to use cartridges to store games (with Nintendo switching to a proprietary optical format for the GameCube), and for being the first modern home console to come with a controller featuring an analog stick.

For some reason, a lot of WordPress 2.5 to WordPresss 2.6 upgrader continue to suffer in this “weird bug”.  I’m also become a victim of this Bug when I upgraded my WordPress from v2.3x to WordPress 2.5, I though I’m gonna stuck back again to stone age where I need to FTP my image and point to that directory. So what’s the purpose of the upgrade if that will be the case, right? So why not we enjoy the power of the future, the WordPress 2.6 power!

If you think uploading image to your post is a pain in your butt well this is your lucky day (I guess), for sure changing the setting permission to chmod 755 or 777 not work as well to you? simply because that was not the problem but if you still not try that before I will suggest try my suggestion first and then lets check your file permission chmod later. Let’s straight to the solution now.

How To Fix”Unable to create directory”:

1. Log-in to your WordPress admin page.

2. Go to SETTINGS –> MISCELLANEOUS.

3.  At the “Uploading” section, make sure that the box is empty if not delete all the text input inside - “STORE UPLOADS IN THIS FOLDER and FULL URL PATH TO FILES (OPTIONAL).”

4. Or you may put the default setting at   “STORE UPLOADS IN THIS FOLDER: =>  wp-content/uploads” (see the picture below).

5. In my case, I notice as shown in the picture below that my text at “STORE UPLOADS IN THIS FOLDER” had a two backslash before “wp-content/uploads” and this is the reason that result the error and when I delete the two backslash everything went normal again. So better check this and make sure that you input the right text as sample without the “//” and that’s it!!!

Enjoy WordPress 2.6!

So to see the power and beauty of Version 2.6 “Code Name: Tyner,” named before jazz pianist McCoy Tyner, contains a number of new features that make WordPress a more powerful CMS: you can now track changes to every post and page and easily post from wherever you are on the web, plus there are dozens of incremental improvements to the features introduced in version 2.5.

Rogers Wireless has bowed to pressure created by the online petition been launched to protest the rate plans offered by Rogers Wireless and its Fido subsidiary for Apple’s iPhone when it goes on sale tomorrow by offering the subscribers of more affordable plans.
Consumers who activate their phone by Aug. 31 on a three – year contract will also be offered 6GB of data for $30 a month; it’s a promotion that was announced in response to petition and complaints about the cost of running the $199 iPhone.
According to Rogers their six stores across Canada will be opening at 8:00am on July 11 to promote the nationwide launch of the much anticipated over hyped touch screen multi-media phone.
So do you think its worthy to give it a try, tie for three years contract? So whatever the media promotion is, always READ the fine prints.

Nearly 62,240 had signed the online petition posted on the website Ruined iPhone.com as of writing.

According to the website, a copy of the petition and all the posted messages will be sent to Rogers on July 11, the day the new iPhone goes on sale in Canada.
