How to read Chinese in PPS.tv

June 21st, 2009

PPS.tv is a great Chinese P2P video streaming program, there’s so much show to watch on demand, from Chinese show to American show to Japanese show and more. It’s fast and it’s clear but it’s a Chinese program.

A lot of friends have been asking me why they can’t read the word in PPS.tv program, it shows up as square square in the left sidebar. At first I got this problem too, after searching around the Internet, I still got no solution, so I went to mess around with the setting and finally I got it works.

It works the same on Vista and XP. Go to the Control Panel and look for Regional Language Setting.

There’s 4 tab on Vista and 3 tabs on XP in this window. Go to the last tab, then change the Language for non-Unicode program to Chinese (PRC). Restart your computer and you are ready to watch your favourite show now.

Good luck.

30 inch and 23 inch side by side

June 9th, 2009

It’s a big difference between 30″ and 23″ Apple Cinema Display. I see no new Apple Display at Machines, one of the Apple store in Kuala Lumpur but the 30″ still look stunning. I am using a 24″ at home and wish to upgrade to a bigger display in a future. =)

Wall of Samsung LED TVs at Suria KLCC

June 9th, 2009

I was in Kuala Lumpur last week and I saw the Samsung was having a roadshow there about their TVs. There’s a wall hanging 9 new Samsung LED TVs and I feel it’s so cool with the orientation. The new LED TV is so bright and the TV panel is seriously thin but still not thiner than a OLED yet. It’s great but then the price is still high. Hopefully the price will drop very soon.

I gave up on Nokia Lifeblog

May 25th, 2009

I thought of Lifeblog was cool. When I try to download Lifeblog software from Nokia’s site, it had turned into Nokia Photos. It only sync your phone’s photo and video and then organize it in a timeline view. The problem is it doesn’t sync well, I always get an error on the computer and also on the phone. It just don’t work.

As for the original Nokia Lifeblog (I downloaded it on some archive site) which I believe Nokia has discontinued developing it, it will sync your messages, text, notes, photos and videos and arrange it in a timeline. It’s more like a a backup and a phone log. However it also can’t sync and it makes my phone slow.

Perhaps I got too many things on my phone? I don’t think so. I have been trying for so many solution, reinstall program, refresh Lifeblog on the phone, restart my PC, restart my connection, restart my phone but none of them helps. So in the end, I uninstalled Nokia Lifeblog and also Nokia Photos, forget about Lifeblog.

I want to use Lifeblog to backup my text message into my computer so I can view it when I need to. I can choose export all text messages into my computer via PC Suite in *.csv file but then little problem is it can’t read my Chinese messages. That’s the problem of my log being not complete.

Just forget about this program and wait until Nokia announce support for it. It sucks at the moment. It could be a good software but then not many Nokia users use it.

PC Hang at BIOS Boot

May 23rd, 2009

I ran Windows Update and it require me to restart my PC, so I restarted. I turn on my PC 24/7, I don’t shut down but only goes into sleep when I am not running anything in the background. Back to after restarting my PC, my PC surprisingly hang at the bios, the activity light on the CPU was not blinking and it just stuck there. Nothing I can do. Can’t access the boot menu, bios setup or anything which is bios screen related.

It’s probably not the software problem because nothing will mess with the on board flash setting. So it’s most probably is the hardware problem. But why it hang after restart but not during the PC was running. Don’t understand.

After Googling and know about it’s the hardware problem. I remove my RAM, my GPU and my Linksys Wireless N PCI card and replug it in again. In the end, my computer is running smoothly again and no more bios hang. Still got no idea why it happened. Any idea?
