Another one Bites the Dust

Remember Michael Hanscom? former employee of Microsoft, who got fired for posting picture of G5 docking at Microsoft office. Well, another person just bite the dust, this time, it is an Air stewardess from Delta airline. She got suspended indefinitely without pay after posting her photo on her blog in a plane with her uniform on.

I think both got to do with company image, it is not that they are criticizing the company or anything, but the company felt that the company's image was somehow tainted and they want to either set an example or they do not want to tolerate such behavior. Truly speaking, no one is immune in a company, everyone is replaceable, it just takes another add in the leading newspaper and whoala, hundreds or thousands will be queuing in the door for a job....

Sperm Bank

I was at a friends wedding dinner last weekend, where I manage to meet up with some of my school friends .  One of which has been working in this sperm bank in KL for about two years.  I didn ’ t even know and infact, none of us at the dinner know about sperm banks in M ’ sia till this guy told us.   His company would pay anyone willing, RM100 for a shot of sperm.  Qty can vary, depending on how much one person can produce per session.   And there is an additional RM100 bonus if the sperm count is high.  We were totally shock and was wondering how come we didn ’ t know about this earlier on, especially during our student days .  According to him, the company has been in KL since 1987 , we were all like.. “ what the ”… If only we knew last time, we would have made some good deal of money … hehe.. He was telling that there is this 17 years old kid earns RM4000 in a period of 6 months … wow.....

Digital Prints

I went over to BJC last night to have some photos printed (from http://sweetsour.uni.cc/galleries/thumbnails.php?album=12 ). I asked some of my friends here in office they told me that the cheapest that we can get for 4R digital print here in Penang is about RM0.45 per piece.  However, he doesn’t know where it was.  Since I was quite in a hurry, and I didn’t want to or rather lazy to scout around, I just went to a photo shop that I know in BJC, the ground floor Kodak Photo Shop that is in the middle (literally) of the complex.  It cost Rm0.60 per piece, quite a lot more than the cheapest price, but since I am only printing a few, I didn’t mind.  It only took a hour to get the photos developed and we paid RM4.00 for one of the photo to be blown up to 5R.  Notice the huge price difference between 4R & 5R.  However, the photos did not turn up as expected.  The shop pretty much adjusted the contrast and color a little an...

The search for Rechargeable Batteries

With the new camera, I need to get new rechargeable batteries. I did some digging and found the highest mAh is 2500mAh and the fastest charger is 15 minutes. I have not decided which to buy yet. Energizer Energizer have a few kind of chargers, the 15min charger, the 30min charger, the car charger and the regular chargers. The energizer web site is rather rich in information, especially on how rechargeable batteries work . There are also information on other batteries types and also how to care for your batteries and a whole heap of batteries information. Best battery site I have seen, with nice cartoonist illustration and animation. The Technical Information is available, but it was not detailed enough for my liking, and this is the only drawback that the site has. Charging Time Cost 15Min $3x 30Min $27 Car Charger (2 hrs) $26 Regular charger (4-8hrs) ...
