Lost and not found

Lost and not found??? Hmm…this reminds me of I lost my BMX in my house with my house gate locked few years back. This happened at one midnight…raining heavily. Everyone slept. I realized the lost of my BMX in the next morning. My left neighbour’s stupid dog don’t even bark when my BMX got stolen. I was informed by the right neighbour that someone climb from his side into my house but they can’t manage to chase. Until today, my BMX was not found, :(
So, I would like to advise to all my readers not to be neglect on safe guard your own property such as mobile phone. Do not put your mobile phone on the table. No matter on your office table or restaurant table. Please put in your own pocket. Or, attach a lanyard to your mobile phone and hang around your neck.

Today, I heard from a lady in my office, she lost her mobile phone while in the pantry. She left her mobile phone in the pantry. After she realized and return to the pantry, the mobile phone is missing. Even a locked notebook is lost too in my office. This people is so desperate…personal headset also got stolen. Beware of your personal wireless USB optical mouse.

There was a case happened last week, 2 Indian guys pretending to deliver goods and at the end a mobile phone got stolen. Please read here.

Completely Free Text Messaging with txtDrop

I bumped into two cool websites. With one easy step on one simple website, you can completely send free text message free of charge. txtDrop.com enables users in United States and Canada to send text messages with instant delivery. Their goal is to deliver a web based free text messaging and as easy as possible.

txtDrop.com developed an alternative website txtDrop.net for international users. Again, they set out to make it a web based free text messaging while keeping it as easy as possible.

µTorrent 1.7.1 build 3360

µTorrent has became my favorite BitTorrent client since the first day I started using it. A new version has released. Version 1.7.1 (build 3360). It is a BitTorrent client that is…micro-sized yet feature filled, resource-friendly, skinnable and localized, actively developed and improved.

Features at a glance: -

  • Multiple simultaneous downloads
  • Configurable bandwidth scheduler
  • Global and per-torrent speed limiting
  • Quick-resumes interrupted transfers
  • RSS Downloader
  • Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)

The sad thing is my Internet Service Provider (ISP) throttle the BitTorrent download speed and upload speed. But, no worries…there are few ways to bypass this, :D

Dim Sum at Jalan Perisa

One of the dim sum restaurant at Jalan Perisa in Happy Garden I will definitely pay a visit in any weekend with my wife. She loved dim sum. Me too. This dim sum restaurant’s price is reasonable. These are the dim sums we normally ordered; “har kow”, “siew mai”, “yu mai”, “lo pak kow” and “wu kok”. We also ordered a “ngai kua” and a tea pot. Our bill came to RM 14.20 only.
