Change is Good

When I was young, I used to remember criticizing mature adults on how they’re slow when it comes to technology. I guess my time has arrived to be one of those mature cream cheese.

It’s not that we can’t keep up, it’s just that we have too many things going on in our lives and everything else remained stagnant. I am for once, not accustomed to change. If it works for me, why change? One of the greatest example is my wordpress version (this blog engine), still at 2.3.3, presently, 2.8++.

Yesterday, I was pretty much upset at something. It’s all a misunderstanding, but I couldn’t careless about deriving the details. Instead, I blurted on Facebook in hope that person reads it. What’s the point of raising your voice to a hard boiled egg? I desire diplomacy, so I am giving it.

I tweeted AzmanIshak for a copy of Windows7. Though he was probably getting ready to sleep, I somehow managed to lure him in the middle of the night for a short “Ngeteh” session (teh tarik, he drank hot choco -_- ). Not only he gave me a free DVD copy, he also paid for the drinks. “Padanlah abg Man ni mantap!” – Hahaha.

10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours. I still couldn’t find the missing pieces necessary to install the new OS. Was it SATA problem? AHCI? RAID? Not too sure myself. All I know is, it’s not working to my liking. Like a grumpy old man, I gave my PC one mean stare and waited. “Ready for Installation”. Urgh! All I needed was a little more patience!

So boys and girls, I present to you Windows7.

I am still finding my ways around it, so no technicalities here ok? If you’d like, you can go to SembangKomputer or InfoMalaya.

ps: I admire the work Microsoft put into this product. It’s amazingly user friendly and web designer safe. Me LOIKE!

pss: Aeropama, heard about the news. I hope you get well soon. Been a while since we last had drinks together. Bile lagi nak melebam sambil kutuk Lochoe?

Tu la, setakat ni Pre-Order je. Tapi aku rase, tunggu dulu la. Sekarang ni salah satu problem besar ialah Photoshop. Semua version macam slow je. Dah la photoshop tu penting utk aku.

Windows 7 Ultimate = USD 219 Tak masuk akal harge die.

[...] Cis. I can’t hardly take that as a compliment. It’s killing me inside. Sometimes I hope I can just bite my own tongue. Er.. If I don’t have anyone to speak English (academically) to in my home town, the less I can do is to write them out. When I’m writing, actually I’m speaking (in my mind) and that could make my English better. I remember Ed once said to me regarding this matter: practice makes perfect. Thanks buddy. Sure, sometimes, a slight change is good. [...]

I have ordered my upgrade kit from HP, it’s good that they have this kind of upgrade program. For USD19, I think that’s quite a bargain, eh?

ETA on my doorstep end of October :)
