Upgrading Tiger to Leopard
With all the news and great reviews about Leopard flying around, I decided to upgrade as well. Last week, I got my copy of Leopard and set to do the work. I had never formatted and reinstalled my iBook before, so it was quite scary at first. It certainly went through my mind, what if it failed, crashes or something. Nevertheless, I had to do it, so first thing I did was backup. I downloaded SilverKeeper, a freeware for backing up your whole Macintosh HD to another external HD without having to compress any files. So it’s like ghosting in Windows, although I don’t think it will be bootable. I…

Caring for life
Have you ever thought of getting really old one fine day, and wondering who’s going to take care of you? Are you going to end up in nursing homes where your kids will chuck you there?

And so, I’ve just finished watching Ep 8 of season 2, and going…

Comparing prices is smart shopping
Have you heard one of those ads on radio about good consumerism is making price comparisons when you shop? I certainly like to know the pricing of products I’m interested in and being able to make comparisons immediately, especially through the internet. Unfortunately, not many companies want to list their product pricing online, maybe because they want to allow dealers to name their price. It’s not fun to walk from shop to shop checking and then going back to buy again later after making your rounds. Which is why I wish we have a price comparison price like Savebuckets in Malaysia. Obviously, this is a UK site, even the logo…
