Lunch w/Kerry

OVERslept

放工回到家, 本來打算只小睡一回, 晚上就去接小Helen放學, 豈料...聽到電話醒來, 9:30pm!
「你在哪?」小Helen問。
心裡暗忖不知如何是好, 不過現在出去一趟還來得切到九龍灣會她。

Give up!

一下放低了一些東西, 突然間像沒找緊方向盤的車子, 到處亂撞; 先收拾心情, 停下來, 拉好手制, 縳好安全帶, 打開你的GPS再走走吧。

題外話: 今天電子展真的有很多GPS及大型LCD display的產品, 說不定明年已有不少配有GPS的汽車零件及日常玩意了!

Phones

After I lost my 3G phone Sharp 802SH two weeks ago, I am still looking one ecomomic and light-weighted phone. Sharp SX633 is too expensive. SX313 was out-dated and collected back by Smartone so that I cannot find one brand new one.

Searching business phone information for German friend, I found the appreance of Nokia E50 is very similar to the quite old Sony (not SonyEricsson) CMD-J series especially J5. Accident?

弄不到手機大頭貼

一直以來家裡的電器電子用品都是我調校的, 電視追頻呀, 錄影機呀, 手機呀。
買了新手機LG KG320, 打算把小Helen的相片做來電大頭貼, 可是竟忙個一小時也搞不好, 天呀!
哼! 我就是不打開說明書看, 我不看我找不到方法!

[Copied from internet] Alternate Canon hoods

Alternate Canon hoods, by David Burren

One found that EW-83H (for 24-105L) with spring arrangement is good for 17-40 L on 1.6x crop DSL, apart from EW-83D.

Ireceived some feedback that the EW-83D (and EW-83DII) were very stiff on the 17-40mm lens. I have to agree with this: mine was very stiff at first although it soon loosened up. Now two and half years later it's maybe slightly too loose (only in that it doesn't click into place when fully attached - very similar to the standard EW-78BII on my 28-135mm IS lens).

Recently I was using an EF 24-105mm/4L IS lens and noticed that its hood (the EW-83H) is a very similar shape to the EW-83D. Not quite as long, but very similar. Not only does it have internal flocking, but it has the same spring arrangement as the EW-83E. It attaches to the 17-40mm lens with a very positive click: almost as though it was made for it! I've taken test shots and can recommend it.

Back to HK

總算平安回到香港了~~

心情仍在放假

10月2日BBQ後, 身體不大舒服, 而且到今天心情仍在放假, 無法投入工作。
我的手機也是, 通話著自己自動重新啟動, 不願服務, 看來又要花錢換一部, 今次真的不要貪新款貪漂亮找一個行機了, 至少手機又半年罷工也可以保修。

HSDPA and HSPDA ready device

台灣遠東電訊已推出HSDPA流動上網服務，香港Smartone-Vodafone也緊貼在後，亞太區現時約有10個國家提供此等服務, 速度由1.8Mbps, 已升級到3.6Mbps, 短期內預計會升級到10Mbps。

Conservation of energy

According to the conservation of energy, a simple law learnt in HKCE physics, I am now waste a lot of energy. My slim notebook, put on my knees, now is switched on and keep generating lot of heat energy.

Electric energy (power supply) = Electric energy (notebook normal usage + unnecessary Wi-Fi) + heat energy (heating up my whole legs)

But remember, I am now at home and I later need to drink a cold drink to cool me down.

古怪上網行為

今日Joe同我講, 遲些想自己付上網費用, 他不說我也不記得之前轉了給他的HKBN broadband line, 合約期滿了沒有, 明天再check check。

如果有相機拍下我現在的動作, 真的好搞笑, 不過一定可以收腹--雙腿?直, 挺直腰板坐在地上, 在大腿上放著一部好熱的Toshiba 12'1" R150, notebook連上了火牛, 因為電池沒電了。但因為火牛連著電線的關係, 我要遷就插頭坐在地上, 電源線不夠長讓我拉到客廳的椅上坐著。
在家沒有用上坐?電腦, 卻是用notebook, 因為想試試無線上網, 家裡安裝了無線router也沒用上幾次, 總覺得有點浪費。Notebook也是Wi-Fi ready, 支援802.11b/g, 卻只是在公司遇到access restriction的時候才用來瀏覽一下Youtube短片或Yahoo.com.hk網站, 每個星期switch on notebook那個Wi-Fi按鈕也不到三次。

剛剛體?到無線上網, 一邊看電郵, 一邊看TV的感覺, 覺得自己很「IT」! 好笑!

不過香港Smartone-Vodafone剛剛推出新HSDPA 3.5G無線上網服務, 很適合做Sales的我, 因為真的, 一個及時的電郵, 一個最快的reply, 已經可以替你賺到一張訂單。現時月費仍很貴(個人來說), Flex毋須簽約的計劃, 要買一個價值HK $2,488的USB 3.5G Modem或HK $2,288的Datacard, 用增值卷形式, $100/50MB, 第一次用送你$500, 即是 $1,988一個USB modem。
試想想, 50MB, 一張3百萬像素的數碼相機相片已經1MB, 一個文字電郵加上介面圖案要100KB, 每個月你只下載50張相或下載及回覆250個電郵嗎? 家用?頻現時需 HK $108-$138不等, 3M網絡, Smartone-Vodafone的是3.6M網絡, 其實更快, 不過隨時要用$300一個月。
無限使用就更貴, $488簽約, 加上一定check住你不能經常行ftp 21 port或BT的port, 或者適合SOHO人。

話題拖到好遠。我有想過, 下年結婚自住時, 可以採用這種方法上網, 一來可以無線?頻, 二來可以隨時搬屋, 不用賠上安裝費給ISP, 每搬一次要加起碼$300。到時再看看吧，說到不定更多手機供應商加入提供HSDPA 3.5G服務，datacard也會有其他牌子推低入門價。如果做到跟現時一樣 $200以下可以無限3.5G上網就好了。

Reading habbit

今日在大陸回來, 循例到羅湖商業城書店走一轉, 拿起以前每個月必看的「攝影之友」, 看看封面標題, 真的不甚吸引, 目光掃到書攤上其他林林種種的攝影雜誌, 好像千篇一律, 不看也罷。

走到電腦書書架, 只剩下什麼Photoshop或Dreamweaver, 沒有愛看的Action Script和PHP programming, 再把書店走一轉, 最後掂起「Freakonomics魔鬼經濟學」(RMB 18)拿了回香港。

看了前言及第一章, 作者不斷在反常識問問題, 從民生開始著手, 很有趣, 原來有人會這樣離經叛義去思考, 不過很得很累, 因為我很久沒有「反思」了。

明天請了一天假, 真好。
可以full day聽Sumrall牧師的Seminar, 不過又要留台to all, 「有關膠料的查詢請找梁小姐」, 辛苦我的經理了。

明天要上大陸工作

專心工作, 做好份內事, 不作他想。

Time for change

是時候做一點不一樣的事情吧!

求婚成功!

拜託阿梓拍下了, 詳情下年再慢慢告訴大家吧!

不小心病

哎呀, 紅雨三號風球後, 不小心病了。頭好熱~~

背影是最真實的。

背影是最真實的。

清晨六時正, 聽到媽媽的鎖匙聲－－她那麼早出門？不是七時才上班嗎？
「今天那麼早？」
「今天返早。」帶點生澀地回答。
聲音有點不對，太早了嗎？不舒服嗎？一個星期沒有聽過她聲音了。
跟出房門，看著她的背影出門，她老了。
