Troubleshoot Fan Error on startup

Filed under: Technology — Tags: — hendrikch @ 3:42 pm

Continuing the trend of being “IT Support” guy in the family from yesterday, my uncle asked me to look at his computer that has been giving some “Fan Error” message upon start up, “Press F1 to resume”.

I quickly took a look, and he was right. Now, there are only few possibilities there: Fan not running (which is dangerous), Fan is running but sensor not plugged in (not too bad), Fan is running and sensor is plugged in, but somehow not detected (false alarm).

I opened up the casing, saw the fan looks alright. I plugged out and plugged the CPU Fan cable back in, and voila, suddenly the fan speed is detected, and no more “Fan Error” message upon every start up.

Done with processing Bali trip photos

Filed under: Family, Travel — Tags: — hendrikch @ 8:46 pm

There were close to 600 photos both from my iPhone and Canon 450D, and after spending a few hours today, I selected 175 photos to keep, and thrashed the rest.

There were many burst shots that I took when both of my nieces are in the frame, and it’s never easy to get children to pose nicely for your camera, so the only choice I had was to burst-shot and hope for the best that at least one good shot came out of it.

I will refrain from duplicating myself in sharing the photos in both my blog and Facebook, so photos and short explanation and story for them goes into Facebook, and my blog will most likely simply link to that album in Facebook.

Any better idea on keeping this blog alive while maintaing communities in Facebook?

In the mean time, here are some footages from the wonderful beaches in Bali.

For editing videos, I created a custom sequence preset in Adobe Premiere Pro to match iPhone 4 file setting.

They are:

  • 1280 x 720 with square pixel (1.0) aspect ratio.
  • 30.00 fps
  • 44100 Hz audio

Happy New Year 2011 to all

It has been a challenging but fulfilling year 2010, and here looking forward to 2011.
With the advancements of sharing contents in Facebook, I realized my blog has died down A LOT.

However, WordPress is currently posting a challenge of one post a day or one post each week to keep up the spirit and momentum going, and I’m subscribing myself to one post each week.
Let’s see how long this will last.
