A string of events

This month doesn't seem to bode well for my dear one. Firstly an accident involving three cars while we were down in Melaka on the first week of August , then another minor crack at the windscreen last week on his way to JB due to a blind little stone and now the side window was broken by some thugs. This is the best part : why would someone want to steal your road tax?

Beats me. :(

A world of criminals.

The world is really unsafe nowadays. Just a few weeks ago, 4 cars in my neighbourhood were broken into - as you'd already guessed, they targeted cars with CD players. One pretty Toyota Camry which belonged to the neighboor a few doors away had its side mirror removed pretty perfectly and not smashed. Wonder how these guys had the time to actually do that?! Another absurd thing : A Kancil got robbed as well , for coins which probably didnt make more than RM10. What's in the mind of these criminals?! Plenty of fish in the sea and they chose an anchovy?

What am I busy with currently?

Currently deploying an antivirus solution to the entire network -this new toy is pretty cool because the new version is not only more canggihfied, it also comes with the ability to track down files which are infected with trojans, and it has realtime protection which means that I'd receive an alert every time a virus is detected , unable to be disinfected and therefore deleted. Mailbox has tonnes of emails like that! So my typical day would be sitting at my workstation , working on the Administration Kit (a network control center) and deploying antivirus software by using the PUSH method , unlike before this where we would need to go PC by PC to do so. Don't play play with the Russians when it comes to antivirus solutions.... it's not your typical Symantec or McAfee yeah!

Also playing with the new phone - bought a Sony Ericsson k700i. The camera's not that sharp , but acceptable la.. I found out that the SMS writepad is not as great as Nokia 3310 (my old phone) because I can't write beyond 160 characters like how I did using the old phone. Need to get a Bluetooth device to transfer files , else this Bluetooth is as good as a white elephant. Saw one at Lowyat , which can be plugged to the notebook for transfer , it's about RM80. See la, one of these days.. Phone book is great ; I can insert pictures, ringing tones, email address, company name, home address .. all the information you want to know about a person and more. With 41MB of memory (unexpandable,mind you), I can store more phone numbers than I'd probably need :)

A world of technology.

P/s: Condition of the neck : pain as hell now... Need a massage badly. Condition of the leg: Still painful when I walk. Sprained it a little while jogging in the gym. Effect: Out of the gym for 3 weeks now. :(

Pekeliling is Shifting - Part 2

This is one fond block of memory which I'd like to keep in my little brain for as long as I can. Unfortunately , it's going ... but when ? I've no idea. Blocks A and B are already emptied out, leaving a few other blocks which are still being occupied until further notice. Two aunts who are still staying in Block C and G are still hanging around. Most of the occupants in Blocks A and B are allocated units in newly-built government apartment blocks at Sri Rampai, Setapak. I've been to that area before ; it's pretty convenient because there's ready buses available as well as a market , shops and some eateries.

But there's a hitch in moving all the occupants from Pekeliling. The Government didn't make enough units to place all occupants in one single area in Setapak. Each new block can only house half of the occupants in the old block - what a hiccup!!! Didn't they calculate properly how many units they had to build before even deciding to move people from their homes?

According to Aunt #3 who rents a flat unit from DBKL , she is trying to apply for a different flat unit which is around the Jinjang area because it's more convenient to her in terms of transportation , to pay her bills and to move around. Wonder what she means - because there's no LRT stations in Jinjang, unlike Setapak where they have a Wangsa Maju Putra LRT station. And hey, comparing Jinjang and Setapak , perhaps it's better to stay in Setapak - the name sounds more glamour at least heheh....

Aunt #2 faces the agony of staying alone if renting occupants start moving out of Block C. Hers is a bought unit, and occupants who bought the flat units a long long time ago still has no where to go until this point of time. She'd probably have to move in with Aunt#2 if that happens, because it's simply unsafe for her to take the lift up and down in a quiet Block C. I could imagine how Block C would be - ghostlike just like Block A or B! Those blocks are all dark and quiet, the only good thing would probably be the clean streets down at the pavements because for once, they are litter-free since the blocks are people-free. :) Even the carparks are empty ; no cars parked at the parking grounds. Even though it is orderly , it never cease to give me this eerie-creepy feeling everytime I look at them on my way back from the office in the evening....

PC restarts every time I...

The PC has always been restarting itself once in a while ever since I bought it. OK, back track a little ; bought this PC last year when I just started working so that I am able to store my mp3 files and photo files just before I need to return the notebook to the company which sponsored me.

Anyway.... the history to this PC is this : ever since I installed Azures to download files from Bit Torrent and play them on my Real Player , my PC has been restarting more often now... I'm suspecting it's the downloaded files which have probably somehow corrupted the Real Player , because every time I try and play those files in Real Player, it would restart the PC. I've now resorted to playing the music files with Winamp - so far so good as the PC is still running good while playing the music files. I'll monitor the PC for few days and see if it still reboots while playing mp3s. Hopefully the problem would be because of RP.
