Eyeballing game

hendrikch — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:46:28 +0000

Got this game from my colleague, it’s an interesting game to measure how accurate you are.

Contrary to most games out there, where scoring highest is important, in this game, the lower your score, the better you are. My first attempt at home yields score of 4.50. Can you do better?

Gadgets screen sizes at home

hendrikch — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:46:06 +0000

There are three persons staying in my house, Eko, Dian, and myself. Each of us have our own gadgets that have screens, and quite a lot at that. What’s so unique about us is each devices that we own have different screen sizes, and three of us combined, we covered potentially all screen sizes you can find for gadgets.

The largest screen in our house is none other than our TV at 21″, followed by three LCD monitors: Eko’s 19″, my 17″, and Dian’s 15″. Going further down the screen sizes are our laptops. I used to have 14″ very old seven-year-old Dell laptop (it’s in Jakarta now with my dad), my latest Macbook with 13.3″, Dian’s IBM Thinkpad X series with 12.1″, and finally Eko latest acquisition Acer netbook at 8.9″.

Smaller than those, we have to look at our portables. Eko and I have Dell Axim X51v with 3.5″ screen, my Canon IXUS 860IS has 3″, and Eko’s Canon EOS400D has 2.5″.
For our main phones, my Nokia E90 has 4″ internal screen and 2″ external screen, Eko’s HTC Touch has 2.8″, Dian has E71 with 2.4″. Each of us also have a second phone with much smaller screens, around 2″-type.

What’s interesting, with Dell Axim being the exception, each of us owns unique screen sizes, and three of us covered all kinds of screen sizes from 21″, 19″, 17″, 15″, 14″, 13″, 12″, 9″, all the way to < 5″ screen sizes.
Also, each of us in the house has exactly ONE desktop with ONE LCD monitor, ONE laptop (or netbook), and TWO phones. Our house has very busy occupants

Earrings for sale

hendrikch — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 15:44:14 +0000

Just helping out a friend of mine to advertise his wife’s eBay page, selling many kinds of earrings at the moment. If I recalled correctly, his wife had to quit her normal job in Feb 2007 due to poor health and has not worked since then. Now, despite not being able to go for a normal day job, she’s trying to earn some income for the family by going into eBay.

Mystery cat takes regular bus to the shops

hendrikch — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 13:36:52 +0000

Bus drivers have nicknamed a white cat Macavity after it has started using the No 331 several mornings a week.

The feline, which has a purple collar, gets onto the busy Walsall to Wolverhampton bus at the same stop most mornings – he then jumps off at the next stop 400m down the road, near a fish and chip shop.

I didn’t know cats are that smart haha…. then, do cats need to pay bus fare? hehe… :p
