Now that my Gigabyte motherboard CMOS/BIOS is half-dead and no longer functioning, I find it a tad irritating to have to update / adjust the Vista time in order for it to its automated functions like Windows update, Kapersky anti-virus update, and all the other essential automatic updates. Since they all rely on the system clock to determine when it should trigger itself to download the required software and data to run.

Sony Ericson T700 mobile phone

Recently Lena signed up a new package with Maxis. As a bonus for signing up the 150 package was a free Sony Ericson T700 mobile phone. This hand phone probably retails for below RM1000 so I guess it was a good deal. There were other free phones like Nokia and LG, but the T700 looked the nicest and it was pretty slim too! (more…)

I have experience frequent downtime whenever I needed to access my Wordpress websites blog or do some exploring or testing some bits of web site feature.
