Blown away!

Posted: July 24th, 2008, 8:00pm PDT

I'm blown away by the Apple iTunes system.

I'm getting myself organised for a musical future, and part of that involved converting and importing into iTunes all of the Karaoke VCDs and DVDs we have in the house. When the tracks become part of the system, they're easily accessible, and they'll get listened to. The process of converting and importing the Karaoke tracks took three days of AppleScript scripting to automate and process, along with lots of Chinese typing, but I now have more than 700 karaoke tracks; both audio and video; in my iTunes library. Being a perfectionist, I then proceeded to correct the data for the tracks in my library, and create playlists (unrated, not played within the last month, ≤xGB) that I could use on our Apple TV and iPhones.

Did I say iPhones? Yep! I've waited more than a year for Apple to release the iPhone in Hong Kong, and I was registered with Hutchison 3 in both the local store and the online database weeks before the official launch. Even though we can't really afford it at the moment (who can?), we went ahead and purchased one white 16GB and one black 16GB, two colours so that my wife and I wouldn't accidentally pick up the wrong phone. Before buying the phones, I calculated the Total Cost of Ownership for the All-You-Can-Eat package. It comes out to HK$12,000 over two years per phone which is a lot of money, but not as expensive as the TOC in some other countries. The HK$12,000 included an upfront payment of $6,000 including the 'iPhone' cost, the 'Plan Prepayment' and the first month's subscription fee; ouch!

The iPhone is so cool. It has its bugs but the current functionality is great, and the potential is simply awesome. When comparing the iPhone to other 'smart' phones, people need to remember that the iPhone is not so much a phone as a portable computer with added phone functionality. It's a completely new paradigm. For the purposes of this article though, I'll only describe one function; Apple's included Remote application.

Here at home, we have two desktop Macs, one Apple TV, two portable Macs, and now two iPhones, and iTunes is completely interlinked through our wi-fi network. It's incredible. At this very moment, my iPhone is controlling the iTunes library on my iMac which is broadcasting the music through the Apple TV connected to our hi-fi system! How cool is that??? I could remote control the Apple TV directly but I don't get to set ratings while connected to the Apple TV, only when connected to an iTunes library on one of the Macs.

Life is suddenly becoming so much more musical ;-)

EQ 訓練營

Posted: July 24th, 2008, 11:15am PDT

星期一對很多的上班族來說，是 monday blue 的開始。但對很多在找工作的人來說，星期一是滿懷希望的一週的開始。因為很多的面試、約見、消息等，都可能在這五天內發生。對這些事情開始有體認，是因為自己也鼓氣勇氣踏入了這個環境。找工作是讓人很傷腦筋的事，但同時也是觀察自己 EQ 有多高的好時機。把自己一直保持在充滿鬥志的狀態，不被漫長的等待和挫折給消磨，就真的只有這個環境、才能給自己最殘酷的訓練。在陸續把履歷表整理、發送、然後剩下能做的，就只有等待。做著免不了會感到氣餒：到底這樣的堅持，是不是讓我最後一定能找到合意的工作? 其實答案我並不知道。只是「信念」很重要。相信自己。工作於我來說，真的是我生活的一部份，並不只是單純的賺錢意義。其實一段日子下來，面試的次數不少。只是我看上的工作，可能覺得我的經驗與他們要求的不符。看上我的工作，自己又感覺不是真正的興趣所在。在開車來回面試公司的途中，常常都會浮現許多想法。對我來說最困難的，並不是面試的本身，而是我都會問自己：如果見成了，這真的是我想要上班、工作的地方嗎? 我對自己的喜惡還算清楚。如果答案是「不」，我不會浪費對方跟自己的時間。我的鍛鍊才剛開始吧。我默唸：還要再努力，要相信自己。

Hitachi's new DZ-BD10H camcorder pairs Blu-ray with a 30GB HDD

Posted: July 24th, 2008, 7:42am PDT by Paul Miller

Filed under: Digital Cameras

We're not saying it can't be done, but you should have some considerable trouble managing to run out of room for your expertly-shot, highly-narrative vacation antics with Hitachi's new DZ-BD10H camcorder, which records 1080p HD video to Blu-ray discs or to its built-in 30GB hard drive. There's even an SD slot, which we aren't positive you can record video to, but it's a fair guess. Other specs include a 2.7-inch LCD and a 10x optical zoom. Price should be around $1,500 when it hits Japan on August 9, but no solid word on a US berth just yet.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Around the world with Dorothy Gambrell

Posted: July 24th, 2008, 7:16am PDT

I mentioned passenger travel on cargo ships the other day. Dorothy Gambrell and her companion went on an around-the-world trip a couple of years ago, traveling mostly by boat and train. To get from North America to Asia, they booked passage on a cargo ship leaving from Oakland and bound for Taiwan. You can read about their adventures online...start here and use the "next entries" link at the bottom of the page to keep reading.

They warned us. They warned us about the food. The freighter agency literature mentions several times that the food may not be what Americans are accustomed to -- for example, it says, "there may not be dessert." The first morning's breakfast is called "Hunter's Toast," which turns out to be toast smothered in something like liverwurst and topped by a fried egg. Breakfast is usually one part egg, one part meat, and one part toast except when it is sausage and a puddle of tomato sauce. Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 8:00am, which means arrive at 7:30 and leave at eight. One pot of coffee and one pot of hot water sit on the table next to the basket of tea bags and peanut gallery of condiments.

What a great adventure wonderfully told. (thx, matt)

Any girl can up her hotness with a set of indispensable skills, but nothing gets a guy's libido racing faster than a sweaty chick who knows her way around the underbelly of our automobile.
Woman kills self prior to foreclosed home being auctioned

Balderrama faxed a letter to her mortgage company at 2:30 p.m., telling them that "by the time they foreclosed on the house today she'd be dead."The mortgage company notified police, who found her body at 3:30 p.m.She left a note for her family saying "take the [life] insurance money and pay for the house." Sadly, I don't think it is covered...

藍天再現

Fetched: July 24th, 2008, 7:07am PDT

特府頭頭碰著黑，sir曾所謂滅火式派糖結果更惹火，單是免收外奴稅已揭破不少外奴主人的真面目，令康港何其難睇，呀爺看在眼內，實在添煩添亂矣! 究竟有什麼特府可以拿出來認屎認屁的呢？如留意近兩日酷熱天氣下的天空，你會發覺藍天忽然重臨康江，對照近日珠三角工廠倒閉潮及民企走佬潮，毒霧源頭似乎正在崩潰中，加上呀爺大力鼓勵廠家把生產基地搬到廣西及內陸，環運焗腸有八成把握可攜帶副腸及正助出來大大聲宣佈：藍天打橫行動大成功！酷暑難熬，但對比去年的毒霧酷暑，這兩天算是好少少，小弟這等刁民，也是由衷希望藍天長留不走也!

今天早上11時到下午5時血拚6小時的結果，除了辛島的CD以及右上角的cutte板之外，都是書展的戰利品。出來的一刻，除了肚餓之外，什麼感覺都沒有。
果然係愛拚才會（買咁多）書，不過我相信有書未為輸o既……XD
