My National Geographic backpack NG W5070

Finally i make up my mind to buy this bag ,in fact on the exhibition this was not in my list .

Let me start with some picture on my new gadget bag.

 

 

 

 

 

Front picture , 4 small pocket compartment

Side with 2 big pocket to hold water bottol , small tripod and monopod.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back picture , on the hanger  there are a small pocket  for mobile mobile when we travel out , and it is detachable also to put into our .

Laptop hideout..:) actually i will not bring my laptop to travel but it will create more load in my back

The top compartment right now ,i’m using it to keep my baby stuff when we go to clearwater sanctuary for relative wedding reception . A closer look on the zip although it look more rural style but i believe this kind of material can last more longer then normal zip

As for the front 2 compartment , there are seal attach and the zip for extra safe feature and inside there are internal compartment for pen , memory card, accessory and etc.

The bag look fit in my kind of body size and the useable compartment is nice for me only problem is the price is quite expensive which i need to use out my 2 month salary for it…hopefully this bag last longer.

It have being sometime after i claim back my windscreen due to big crack previously cause by flying stone **&%&^%*&(. As we are heading to Ipoh next month and the Walau weather in malaysia is just very "HOT" , hence we decide use the claim money to tint back the windscreen. As usually reach the shop and ask for the boss and he demo and show me a few tint paper .

Technician clim up to fix the paper from outside before stick it back to windscreen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

While waiting for them to fix the tint , i browse around and try out my N86 again..

2 person for 1 job ? …In fact another person is working on another task .

At final everything done well.

Bandar Botanic Ballot @3Oct10

We totally lost fate on this kind of event ,developer itself occupany those unit and wanted to sell in higher prices.

Even Bumi reserve unit being call repeating also noone is showing up

No wonder every place the house unit being 'cook' to peak just because of small number of people trying to make a profit out of the opportunity , Wonder did their company really have any ethic of business conduct..

Ovi-fy around

 

I just Ovi-fy part of my day to day item, my pc

Unexpected dinner at Al-Rawsha Restaurant

Receive a urgent call to send in good to mother customer on next day morning hence got no choice but to drive down to kl after work to pickup the good .

While driving down but dont know where to take my dinner since Soadah will not cook for me since she need to pack those good.

So I call up Sailani and ask him for recommendation , lucky he still in office and manage to find the contact and address of the restaurant . With help from my N86 GPS  + my logical sense , i manage to find the place .

Here goes with some photo shoot with my N86.

The restaurant names as some jawi word which i believe it maybe the translation..

AL-Rawsha Cocktail…no no no it did’t contain Alcohol ….just a food juice with funny names

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A closer shoot on the lamb briyani…yammu men..the meat is so soft and juicy too…plus with the curry which they charge me RM3 for 1,..

Lamb Briyani  = RM 13

Cocktail = RM 10

Curry /Yogu = RM 3

Total damage is RM 23. (Approx… forgotten the actual price)  but sailani said there are other more yammy …

Broadband test

After being complaint by few of the user at my home , especially the drug addict kind of users.

i asked my brother to borrow me his all-in-one (DLS+Router+Access Point) Aztech DSL605EW

And start my strategy in 3 different combination

1)Test with default and dedicate Server using speednet

2) Compare both modem (even though Aztech is all in one but i will disable the function)

3) Compare Zte813+DIR615 vs Aztech Combo to proof that the combination did work..

Zte 813 vs DSL605EW

Direct Connection ,Zte 813 ,Speednet with default server

Direct Connection ,Zte 813 ,Speednet with Server in taiwan.

Direct Connection –Aztech - Default Server

Direct Connection –Aztech – Taiwan Server

Aztech Combo in Action – Default Server

Aztech Combo in Action – Taiwan Server

Zte with DIR615- default server

Zte with DIR615- Taiwan Server

And it look like it work almost the same and it proof that it is the line problem supplier by Telekom ..:(

Backup setting for my Zte 813 modem

Recently having some issue with my broadband speed and i try to diagnose the problem from router to modem and stuck at modem.

At first when i plug a LAN cable to the modem , it give me a IP address of 169.xx.xx.xx , which is not a standard IP . But when i try to a PPOE direct dial up using my laptop it work excellent .

I suspect that someone must have login/hack into my modem to tweak the setting hence i do a hard reset on that modem and try to configurate the setting back.

As i don’t have any place to keep track of this setting

At least i know that telekom did’t miss cap me as i subscribe for 1MB broadband with them

 

4MB highspeed Internet Connection ??

 

Based on below picture , it is not a western restaurant /coffee shop who offer this facility but a local well know food and beverage shop..

Also with VAD(Value Added Service ) Handphone charging area tooo…:)

Yupe , now Nokia not only produce great smartphone also they have launch a new magazine to show case their news ‘online’ ..Yes , this magazine is a online version .  If you looking to get more info /tweak/latest unleash from your mobile phone. This 1st issue is talk about OVi . Share Organize , Play , Discover .

Total feature discuss over the magazine are

,Ovi Music – Share and organize your favor music when you on the move

Ovi Maps – Never get lost again , although it is competing again Google Map and other map producer but as it have more seamless integration with Nokia own OS hence i suspect we will have any problem on using this map.

Inside the magazine it also introduce a utilty “JoikuBoost” from JOikusoft to boost out our existing 3G  connection with our mobile network provided, but too bad is i already cancel off my 3G access with Maxis as previous i have make a accident move by “enable” my 3g when i going for outstation and when Maxis send me back the bill , it actually cost me more then RM 300..for just 50MB data transfer.

Computrekker AW ? Mini ? Slingshot 200 AW which camera bag to choice ?

It usually happen when we start reliaze that we need a bigger bag to carrier our gadget when we walk around to shoot picture.

I did't even care about this till recently when i have a new family member joining ( My baby girl Zoey) with her around , we usually carry alot of stuff such as diaper bag , milk-bottom , Baby push chair and so on.

I'm currently using a shoulder bag which come together when i bought my 350D in year 2007. With 3 compartment , middle server as body and the other 2 use for lense. In fact now i already make full use of it.

So i have to actually think of way to free out my hand so that i can help my wife when we walk around and snap picture. Although i got my N86 in action all the while but i do prefer to have snap my little girl picture with a SLR.

I ask around in google/forumer. In final someone have suggest me a Lowepro CompuTrekker , Lowepro Sling Shoot 200 and my college recommend me Mini Trekker AW.

SlingShot200 AW.Feature such as Sling design to go from Mix of Shoulder+backpack mode. I don't like it because i have a shoulder relocate before so it might be difficult for me to move around and further get me into trouble again.

Extra compartment on top to separate Camera stuff with others ,Water resistant , Weight 0.93kg

Feature of this Mini Trekker which i favor on is it now with All weather Cover , lightweigt , an integrate quick release tripod holder , attachment loops for optional Sliplock accessories and lots of pocket for my wire/Memory card. It is more in ergnomic look in wide and padded shoulder straps which will easi my shoulder when i carry it for a longer time.Material cover is a water-resistant ripstop . Which mean i don't really care about when i holding a Umbralla for my family i can put full concentration to them.Weight 1.16kg

CompuTrekker AW

Almost same with Mini Trekker but with padded notebook compartment which secure with a zipper and quick release buckle. A fully customizable padded dividers in main camera compartment .additional is a Weight 1.54kg . I believe this best use for photographer who need immediate process on picture to deliver to customer on remote location.

If order to cut this cost and live with a duct+odor house ?? how ?

We need a robot which it will not complaint on Overtime/ extra work / MC / Fonema(Fomema Sdn Bhd was established in 1997 to manage and operate a mandatory foreign worker health screening system in Peninsular Malaysia.)

Currently in Malaysia market there are 2 brand heatup on in malaysia. Picabot(Still not sure but malaysia is hot cake) and IRobot(US)

How they work ?

It ‘work through a pre-define patterns through programmed .

Recharger ? Yes both of them once battery slow will go back the base docker station for recharge.

Clean object- both claim to clean microorganism like germs and dust mites on the floor.

Technique use – Vacuum and sweep

Area cover –Picabot cover general on 100 sq ft , IRobot depend on virtual wall /lighthouse which cover it distance.

Scheduling feature – Something like a “wake-up” call to start working .

Conserve Energy via Microsoft ?????

It really surprise for me to see that Microsoft a company which develop software is also invent into this sector.
Microsoft is lunching a service call MS Hohm  but too bad is it only available through US only.

Some more with  US President proposes $10 billion in tax credits for improving home energy efficiency. Start planning now.

How it work ?
once you have keyin your postal code and Prefer email address.
Hohm w’ll ask you to answer a short set of questions about your home and your energy use. From just a few key facts- such as the zip code where you live, the size of your home, and the year it was built-  A customize Hohm energy report for you. As you can see below, the Hohm Center provides you with an overview of your annual energy usage and how your home energy costs match up to other homes in your area. In addition, from the Hohm Center you can enter your actual electricity usage- either by connecting automatically to your energy provider (currently available to the more than four million customers served by Xcel Energy, Seattle City Light and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District) or by manually entering in your usage.

As we all know Microsoft have nothing yet to do with Home Appliance so it rely on our data
 The more detail we input about our home and energy usage into our home Profile ], the more personalized we can make your recommendations. From here, you can create “to do” lists and easily track your progress on saving energy and money

Again Home is free, People who stay in US do try it out
Microsoft Hohm

Everyone make a different to our Earth and start saving for it, i wonder when Malaysia will have one also.

Standard or Framework whoes work ?

I start to learn standard when i work in a local SoftwareHouse which compliance in ISO kind of standard . but when i switch and start working in HP which strongly focus on ITSM/ITIL derive a framework.

I realize that the difference a standard and a framework. You must comply with every element of a standard to be certified by an accredited audit. Whereas a framework is similar to a strong suggestion about how you might want to accomplish something; with an explicit encouragement to adopt the guiding principles then adapt them to the needs and requirements of your specific organization. Furthermore a standard is binary: one or zero, pass or fail. You either comply with everything or you don't. End of story. A framework such as ITIL seeks to help you create a better IT organization next month than you had this month. There is no compliance to set standards, no pre-defined checklists and no IT bible. - -> George Spalding is co-author of ITIL v3's Continual Service Improvement core volume,

I hear alot of my college around talking about checklist , standards for ITIL , actually they is't any at all but a framework itself. but the core thing still come from Deming Circle

Although in reality ,it mean that we sure got job to do even we have solve an issue but there alway alot of pending issue hiding beside tree/stone ...for us to find and tackel them

As what written in ITIL v3 . Continual Service Improvement (CSI)

And this kind of relaton mean that CSI evolve in each lifecycle

That is why in ITIL there is't any standard checklist/ process around because it is a ongoing improvement over time to derive a bette rresult for IT organization.

Check out this link for more detail info. .

P.s above posting is just my view in ITIL.

10 Hot business in US , how about in Malaysia ?

I past out this information from BNet , According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas' job market index, 8.7 percent of job seekers started their own business in the second quarter of 2009 , as usual Malaysia will only get the effect after 3 to 4 year time..

1. Green power. Cleantech, including smart grid, solar, biofuels, and batteries, overtook IT and biotech to garner 27 percent of all venture capital in the third quarter of 2009, according to Cleantech Group.


2. The senior market. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, three of the top 10 industries with the fastest employment growth relate to "aging services," including healthcare, elderly and disabled services, and community care facilities for the elderly. USC even has a new master's program in aging-services management.


3. Discount retail. At Wal-Mart, dollar stores, and resale shops, business is booming. While sales at Neiman Marcus dropped 14.8 percent, Family Dollar had record profits of $291.3 million in 2009. And according to the National Association of Resale Professionals, sales at secondhand stores grew by 31 percent last year.


4. Local business. The Department of Agriculture says that farmers markets have seen 5 percent annual growth for the past five years. Major chains are introducing "Locally Grown" sections to their produce departments and the USDA recently launched a "Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food" marketing campaign.


5. Education. There's no better time to retrench or reinvent yourself than a bad economy. Revenues at institutes of higher education are expected to grow 4.9 percent to $421 billion in 2010, according to IbisWorld.


6. Parental outsourcing. The new name for childcare, housecleaning, and other domestic services, "parental outsourcing" is booming. And revenue for tutoring, test prep, and driving schools is expected to increase to more than $7 billion in 2010. Likewise for sports coaching.


7. Health and wellness. Revenues from healthcare and social assistance grew 3 percent to $452 billion during the second quarter of 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And the Home care industry grew 7 percent annually over the past five years, according to IbisWorld.


8. Texas. The Wall Street Journal named Austin and Dallas top "Youth Magnet" cities, and Texas cities dominated a host of 2009 "best cities" lists for relocation, home-building, and job creation.


9. Affordable alcohol. We're still drinking just as much, if not more, we're just drinking lower-cost booze and we're doing it at home. In any case, the alcoholic beverage industry is expected to see record revenues of $455 billion in 2009.


10. Pets. Americans spent $43 billion on pets in 2008, and that number's expected to grow by 5 percent for 2009.

But why not we start thinking what shall be a Malaysia version out of US version of Hot business in 2010 ??

Let's start to think off this...and comment
