Multitasking while running experiment #1

I conducted my first experiment yesterday. The aim was to identify problems in my experiment and not getting results yet. But, while running the experiment, I can do some multitasking in my laptop .

Sorry, I know the quality of the video is poor. I took it from my Sony Erickson K810i. Maybe, later I’ll record it from my Panasonic Lumix digital camera instead.

p/s: Have you downloaded my FREE “230 Make Money Sites” report?

Blogging from HP Netbook

Today, I blog from my youngest brother new HP netbook which he got when he ordered streamyx for my parent’s house.

What is my experience using a netbook?

Hmmm…this is tricky but I’ll be honest… I’m not use to the keyboard. It is almost the same as other laptop keyboard. I feel like there are less keys in this netbook. There’s no page up and page down keys. I’m not sure of other keys.

A significant point that I dislike is the small monitor. I can’t really blame it too much because this is a netbook and it is suppose to be small. I feel like my overall view is very limited.

Nevertheless, the small size and mass of this netbook are the plus points. No doubt of it!

Do I want to use a netbook?

No!!! Not at all despite of the fact that it is lighter and smaller than a laptop. I still prefer carrying my Toshiba or HP laptop instead of using a netbook.

Please, no offence to netbook users. I just speak my mind…

When you are not in the mood of blogging, post pictures

What to do if you want to blog, but you are not in the mood, just like me in this Monday blues?

You post your recent photos… aha….as simple as that…and now you have a blogpost that consists of that thing that can describe a thousand of words… Agree?

Those are random photos taken in March… No particular reason why I picked those photos… Just for the sake of letting you guys see something interesting. To make things spicier, I’ll let you interpret the pictures yourself.

Surviving life without the…

As a person who are always hooked to the net, in other word, often staying online, can you stand a day offline? Or 1 week offline? I’m throwing this question to learn and comprehend how extreme netizen like me and you can cope without the magic line (internet connection)? I’ll share my experience on how I managed to overcome the situation, the emotion and strength during this long festive break. I’ll share it later when i reach home and united with my wired broadband… I’m now in Kuantan…

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

One day after the above entry was written…

Now, I’m in my wife’s supervisor’s house, in Kuantan and the beautiful part is he has streamyx wireless broadband installed in his house. So, I took the opportunity to do some work that I have to do before checking my emails, updating my blog etc. I found that my blog was badly attacked with spam since I was away for 2-3 days from the internet. I hate spam!!! This shows that I need to installed a more powerful plugin to inhibit bad spammers from bombarding my comment box with a dozen of links.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

OK, back to the first paragraph above about what to do and how to overcome yourself when you don’t have the magic internet connection with you. This tips do not apply to those who have celcom or maxis wireless broadband… You are always connected to the net whenever you want. People like me don’t have those broadband yet because I already have streamyx at home and also wireless internet at office. But, I do plan to get myself a prepaid broadband soon so I won’t suffer the way I am now…

Allow me to share my experience on how I spent my time and how I managed to leverage my desperation from the the absenteeism of the net.

1. I must be mentally strong This is very important. I think I managed that well enough.

2. I use Celcom service from my wife’s hand to stay connected to the internet using your handphone (if your handphone can browse the internet). I chose to surf 1 day (RM6) or 7 days (RM20) and send an SMS to 28882 and wait for further instruction from Celcom. Surfing from the handphone may not be as satisfying compared to surfing on a pc or laptop, but it is still a better alternative rather than not knowing what is happening in my email, Facebook and blog…

3. Now that I don’t have that much time to spend online, I can do some house keeping in my laptop. That simply means clearing what is not needed in my hard disc, sending documents to the most suitable folders and so on. Now, my desktop is clear and I’m happy.

4. I also now can spend more quality time with my kids and family. This can be done via several ways such as watching TV together (done that), brought my family to a mini zoo in Kuantan (done that)… and others…

Well that’s it… I’ll still be in Kuantan without the true internet connection till Friday, possibly. After that, then I’ll be in my house in JB and back to business…

Should I get my kids a dedicated laptop and Web 2.0?

Last week, I attended Matlab training with my wife, a training that I organized on behalf of the post graduate society (I’m the post graduate society president in my faculty). My pH.D supervisor also participated in the same training and sat next to my wife. On one of the break during the training, we chit chat about our kids… how our kids are performing in school, how they are progressing etc…

She (my supervisor) highlighted that her son who is in standard 4, is crazy about Farmville. It is difficult to go anywhere because he will always want to get back home, to be online, and work on his farmville in his facebook account. I was amazed that his son has already explored the net and meddle with facebook, uploading photos and videos.

After the training, in our white Proton Exora, on our way back home, I discussed with my wife about our kids. We think it is time for us to seriously expose our kids to the computer and internet. Before this, Ikhwan (standard 2 primary school) and Marsya (6) has been exposed to flash games and youtube. Alya (5) will tagged along with her brother and sister infront of the laptop(s).

Maybe now is the time for Ikhwan to utilize the laptop (or computer) for his early education. There are some online tutorial in the net which we or the school can subscribe. Maybe he can also learn to use google to learn many things, off course with our supervision.

Maybe we should get a dedicated personal computer for the kids…

What do you think? Is it too early?
