Lately, I have been bored at work, so I have been becoming an expert in all the games on Microsoft Windows. I am bored of Solitaire, Minesweeper and now I am working on FreeCell. The thing with Freecell is that every game is solvable. That means that there must be a logical way in approaching this game. So I wiki-ed up FreeCell, and found that 1 method of solving a game is by using something called Genetic Algorithm. So, here I am waiting for him to go on telling us about object oriented programming, playing freecell, talking to Randy about salt and sugar and reading up on Genetic Algorithm. Who said men can’t multi-task??Anyway, yes, this thing about computers solving games is very interesting. Optimisation, control theory and signal processing all put into 1. But what I find more amazing is how the human mind can solve a game. I am paying a lot of attention on the logic I use to solve this game. But for a game which does not follow much rules, its very hard to find any logic to it!

Do you think it’ll be ok to change different parts of our body to keep it from dying? Today I performed a brain transplant on my friend: my Fujitsu S6240. I replaced its old 60Gb hard disk with a brand new 120Gb one and the original 512Mb and 256Mb with 2 1Gb ones. Now is as fast as a…new laptop.

I seriously don’t understand why anyone who does not have pre knowledge of linux and computing of a higher level would choose this machine. It took me more than 2 hours trying to configure this machine to go online. After doing that, I wanted to install an application which can do web conference. I don’t know how to install applications. You would think the installing application button would send you to a site which you can just download and install. But no…It just tantalise you. When you click install, it the firefox download dialogue comes out and asks “Which program do you want to use to?” - The .cnr file (click ‘n run) file is not supported unless you have a cnr client, which does not have support for Xandros yet.

I think I will sit here for another 1 or 2 days and find a way to customise it the way I want it. I am so tempted to install Ubuntu on this because Ubuntu just works so much more beautifully. Should I just wait for cnr support or just stick with these crappy softwares Asus had given us - see I really don’t see the point of putting a webcam there when you can’t use it for MSN! Sigh…This is so badly designed!

I have had my N95 for a while now, and I have been playing around with the very powerful functions that this phone comes with. You can read a lot of reviews about this phone already here, here or here. I have been using the WIFI function quite intensively, especially after I have debranded it. This [...]

So, why is it that I could not make VOIP calls from my house using the network I have got? Well, at least successful ones which can last for more than 2 seconds. So I wrote to Truphone about this problem. They are very prompt and has a very good customer service. Copy and Pasting from [...]
