Not exactly a new year resolution but I did plan on getting rid of my Samsung E898 mobile phone in the beginning of last year when 2007 rolled around. Now a year later, I'm still with the same phone.

Found this video I made a year ago and planned to post with the online auction:


No new resolutions this year. Just the good ol' "do the best with what I have". Here's wishing everyone a good 2008.

i was researching on dimmer switches (yes... you read correctly) as some light bulbs produce buzzing noises when the dimmer is at near half capacity. Luckily, there's a such thing called the lamp debuzzing coil (LDC) which can be installed to eliminate the problem.

Perfect!

... only one thing tho, as the LDC manufacturer notes: "LDCs themselves make an audible buzz, and therefore, should be mounted in an area where [...]"

Hold on, I need to go out to get some headeache medicine that causes headaches, be right back.



BTW, a big farewell to 2007. hoping 2008 will be a better year, well, this year is not very hard to beat; but then again, i'd been surprised before. ;) .e  02:35  4 comments [ leave comments ]

i've finally succumbed to the spells of Facebook. quite a few good ideas there, the user interface is a bit overcrowded tho, I found, pro'ly only to old geezers like myself. it wouldn't surprise me to see in the near future official marriages being affirmed by clicking on "Confirm" in Facebook's relationship request.

the trip to canada was a... happy success. i got to meet my parents, relatives, friends and colleagues, attend a very nice wedding with maggy, fish with my dad, play a horrible round of golf followed by a less horrible one, meet the babies and play in a few poker tourneys.

the only regret was the itinerary was kinda too packed i didn't have a chance to have breakfast at Dunn's or taste poutine, mmm... pou... tine...

oh do i miss the good ol' days... ah well, back to the grinder. .e  17:43  2 comments [ leave comments ]

during which time i've gone thru:
15 guinnesses, 3 poker matches, 2 bricks of cheese, 5 bottles of wine, 2 trips to thailand

... and zero(0) golf games, driving range sessions, fishing trips, camping, patio lunches, xbox nights, badminton games, cigars on the balcony, tim horton's coffee or dunn's breakfast. .e  07:29  3 comments [ leave comments ]
