Cheap Brandless Card Reader

I went shopping last week and bought myself a cheap card reader at Gadget Zone, 1stop. It’s only RM20 ($6). It can read Memory Stick (Pro), SD, MMC, XD and Compact Flash.

I tried it and it’s working good but it doesn’t read my 4GB memory stick. I take to ask the guy and found out that it can’t read fake memory stick. Yeah, my 4GB is fake and I use it for my PSP. Wonder why my PSP can read it but the card reader can’t. It read my camera SD card nicely, I don’t have a XD or Compact Flash to try on. I assume it does work also.

1 more thing, the card reader is brandless. There isn’t any logo on the packaging itself or on the card reader. Definitely came from China.

Since I has 2 camera, I don’t have to plug in 2 different cable to connect my camera anymore. I can just take out the SD card and put it into the card reader for viewing and copying photos.

Buy Things Online

It’s HERE!

Do you know what to do with the earning you made online? Buy stuff you like! I does not make a lot from the Internet most probably because I am still a newbie to this make money online field.

I want to talk about my experience on buying stuff online. I had not try any online shopping before. I only bought my domain and hosting last time.Last time, I always wanted to try buying things online, but I scared of fraud and the item will not successful sent to my place. If I choose to send by big courier company like FedEx, UPS and DHL, it will cost me a lot. But then with free delivery, I scared of it will be stolen or whatever things that is bad.

But after this, I am not scared anymore. For the fun, I just bought a cheap $3.99 Silicon Case for my PSP. It’s really very cheap, I just want to try buying things online. I paid with PayPal, where my earnings save at and I don’t own a credit card, maybe in the future, I’ll get myself a prepaid credit card for online shopping. I chose the free delivery and it took like about 10 days to arrive here.

When I came home from school today, I saw the package in front of the door. Stupid postman, what if it’s something fragile? He just threw the thing on the floor and walkaway. Luckily it’s just a silicon case or else the Pos Malaysia sure received complain.

I am happy, it’s here and I wear the silicon case onto my PSP and it looks great right now.

Sent my PC to repair

I am forced to send my PC to repair. If it is not the BIOS corrupted, I wouldn’t sent it to repair, I can just reformat the hard disk, because my Windows XP is corrupted too. I got no idea how to fix the BIOS thing. Sometimes can boot, sometimes cannot.

My rig is :

Pentium 4 3.0 HT
ASRock MiniATX P4S61
Palit Nvidia 7600GS AGP
Western Digital 40GB IDE (Primary)
Western Digital 160GB IDE (Secondary)
Kingston DDR 512MB
LG SuperMulti Drive
Brandless CD-ROM

The specs looks good to me, BUT I have very little ram and my PC casing don’t have fan except for the processor fan. It will be noisy if I didn’t turn on the table fan that I put beside it. I asked the computer man to add another stick for 1GB ram and see if any cheap processor fan which is quiet and add a 80mm fan at the back to suck the hot air out.

Currently I am using a lousy laptop for checking my email, blogging, surfing the web and chatting. Just for simple usage because the laptop can’t do much thing, it’s old, it’s noisy and it’s hot. The battery is dead. It’s running on Pentium 3 and only 3xx MB of RAM. The worst is I don’t know what fan it is, it’s just so noisy all the time. By the way, I am using the NEC Versa Premium. Don’t know you guys know the laptop or not.

Hope I’ll get back the PC soon.

How to remove index.php in Wordpress permalink

I am not sure whether you guys occur this problem or not. But I myself do. I am on a Linux based web hosting, I am not sure what’s the problem is, I’ve already solve it so I decided to share it with you guys.

When you are setting permalink in Wordpress blog. You will find 4 options, 3 is preset and the 4th is custom.

The first option is ugly permalink :

http://inicholas.net/?p=123

The second and third one is better :

http://inicholas.net/index.php/2007/09/07/sample-post/
http://inicholas.net/index.php/archives/123

Do you notices the index.php at the permalink there? At first, I thought it would be edited and deleted at the custom field. But then, if without the index.php, the permalink to all post will be directed to a 404 Error Page / Page Not Found.

I search and search and search the web and finally found a solution by editing/making a .htaccess file.

Open Notepad.
Copy and paste this codes# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Save as any file name.
Then rename it to .htaccess .
Last step, you can now delete the index.php at the custom field area of permalink setting.
