Back to Blogger

I am back to blogger, atleast for a short while, till I get my site setup. What happen was that my Host, hivehoasting.net had a HDD failure, and as a result, a year of blog post were lost. Luckily, the adminstrators was able to recover the files back to End of last year (so my photoblog with Movable Type were save), but unfortunately, the entire MySQL DB were wipe out, and I was using Wordpress for my blog, and as a result, entire year of posting gone. And I was stupid of not doing backup. I've wanted to move out of wordpress sometime back, I guess this is no better time...

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 and that resulted red blemishes (like rashes) to appea

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)
