Children & Computer

I asked my son to play outside instead of playing with the computer at home all the time. Yeah he went outside but with the computer....sigh...!

Mobile Blogger

I love the Blogger application for Android. Now I can blog straight from my cheap chinese Android phone. Before then, I have to login from my big fat desktop computer, wait for 5 minutes until the computer ready from boot up and wait for more until I can login to blogger.com. Now I can just instantly blogging from my phone.
And not only that. The app blogger from google is really powerful and easy to use. I can browse and manage/edit my blog effortless, insert photo or other media very easy.  The only problem is that I need more exercise typing in touch screen keyboard. Sometimes it is annoying. Oh well. Blackberry Android should be much more helpful I guess? Now I can edit my blog while sitting in this park. Pretty neat heh? This picture was taken by the camera from a cheap Android Phone ZTE T 81 or Telstra Frontier 4G.

My Brand New Telstra Frontier 4G or ZTE T81

I just bought the prepaid phone Telstra Frontier 4G or ZTE T81 for $149 from Telstra. Well, I love this phone, the 4G connection is really fast, I can get 59 mpbs download and 29 mbps upload. I just want to show you the pictures taken by this 5 mb camera phone. Well it's an ok camera phone, just a little bit better than my Blackberry 9780.

Visa 457 and Victorian Driving License

I just did some computer test to get my Australia Victorian Driving License. I passed the exam. Yay! It was called the road law knowledge test. There are 32 questions and you must have a minimum 25 correct answer to pass the exam.   It's not that hard as long as you study from the book called 'Road To Solo Driving handbook' by Vicroads. Why do I need to get Victorian driving license even though you can still use your overseas driver license if you are visa 457 holder?

Well the answer is because I am getting tired to bring my passport everywhere as an ID, passport is too big to put in your pocket hand and it's too important to leave it in the bag. I always worry that may be someday my passport just puff...gone and I am in the foreign country. Passport place is in the house, inside the safety box, and you don't have to bring it everywhere unless you go oversea. That's why driver license is quite handy. It's small, blend nicely in your wallet and reliable. So, c'mon guys leave your passport alone and go get your driver license!

Pictures Taken By Canon EF 40mm F/2.8 STM Lens

I just bought this lens for my walk around lens on my Canon 5D Mark II body. I do have the Canon 24-105 but it's to heavy to walk around with that lens, and I can not be discreet with that monster lens. Put this lens on my 5D and voila it's suddenly became my walk around and street photography lens, it's just like you only bring the body only, yes it's almost weightless, perfect.

Before I bought this lens I kept thinking of getting the Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 USM, but for me, 50mm on full frame body is still too long, and 35mm focal length sometimes it's too wide, that's why I took this lens instead. Well, long story short, you probably you have read a lot review about this lens, I don't want to repeat what other people did, so I just want to show the pictures taken by this lens. I just wish that this lens has F/2 and not f/2.8 aperture, but other than that it's a perfect walk around lens for me.  Enjoy!!!

 

Forgot Your CMS Admin Password

Oh shit, you forgot your admin password of your CMS. Thank God you still have access to your mysql database. All you need to do is to reverse the password by using Reverse MD5 hash lookup. Just go to your mysql database table, copy those weird password, usualy the one with a long name alphabet and numbers, and go to this site. Voila, suddenly you can see your admin password, and start wondering, how come you could forgot this password. Enjoy!

Do You Need a Full Frame Camera?

I just read a good article about whether you need a full frame sensor camera or just stick with your tiny APS-C sensor camera. Yeah I need that article, to push aside my darkest need for the full frame camera..hehehe...beside I can't afford the full frame camera, it just too expensive. Here is the link. Tips & How-To: Do I Need a Full-Frame Camera?

Ugly Toilet at Flinders Street Station

Look at this picture, and also please imagine the smell...got that? Actually the smell wasn't that bad and it was not too dirty at all, but the graffiti is the one who makes the toilet looks ugly and dirty.

I don't know why they never try to erase those graffiti. I remember those graffiti was there when it was 2 years ago. Maybe they have erased the graffiti before and then it come up with the new one. I don't know, but it just look dirty. And this happened in the historical building in Melbourne.

Melbourne 40 Celcius

Melbourne got stung with 40 C today. This is what being inside an oven feels like. The humidity and the heat wave make it my day is even worse. My wife and my mother in law went to the Royal Botanic Garden to meet one of my wife's friend. That was a brilliant idea I think, with this kind of weather. Hehehe no, I am just being sarcastic. Tried to avoid the heat,  I chose not to follow the brilliant idea of my wife and instead I went to the movie theater with my daughter. The movie title was 'Parental Guidance', well, it was an ok movie, better than get fried outside.

Happy New Year 2013

This is my first post for this blog in the year of 2013. I am planning to write it everyday, well I hope so. We went to Yarra Park yesterday to see the fireworks, unfortunately the place where we were sitting is exactly behind the trees, so we couldn't see the fireworks clearly.

I also didn't bring any tripod at all, I was just too lazy. That's why the fireworks picture was so ugly! Do you see the silhouette blocking the view of the fireworks? Damned it you tree! Anyway, happy new year!
