Digital regression
Wednesday, December 28th, 2011Tetris for the iPad was 69p today (I know, I’m a big spender) so I figured, ‘Why not?’
I still have my bulky, old Nintendo Gameboy and it still works! The only game I really ever played on it was Tetris. Unfortunately, the iOS Tetris doesn’t have the classic theme tune!! It’d be cool if had a Gameboy classic mode emulating the original.
Check it out!

Saturday, April 2nd, 2011Temperature temp
Friday, April 1st, 2011Think my heater might be on the blink. I need the water to be at a constant 26oC while I’m treating the tank for ich. Noticed that the heating element was still on this morning even though the thermometer read 30oC, the built in thermostat’s suppose to switch it off once the water reaches the defined temperature. To check, I popped in a spare analogue thermometer and put new batteries into the digital one after turning the heater down to 22oC just to be on the safe side. A few hours later, I see the values are different between the analogue and digital one and the heater still on. Now, one analogue read 26oC, the other 29oC and the digital one 31oC, but according to the heater, it still wasn’t 22oC so it just kept heating. I’ve turned the heater to its lowest at 20oC hoping to compensate for it’s lack of sensitivity. Just to be sure of the temp in the tank, I’ve dunked in my watch which has a built-in thermometer so shall see how that goes.
Geek indulgence – Geekdulgence
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011I passed my driving test yesterday (yay!) and decided to reward myself with a nice new timepiece – a Casio Protrek 2000 with all the bells and whistles – atomic sync, solar, altimeter, barometer, compass, sunrise, sunset, oh and of course, it tells the time. Now I just need a mountain to climb…
Mugged!!
Friday, January 14th, 2011Ever since I saw pics of the 70-200mm mug on the web, I’ve wanted a lens beverage receptacle.
When I got home this afternoon, I was greeted with a big box on the porch. Jac had sent Kamil and I the coolest gifts ever!! Mindblowingly phenomenal!
On the way to sushi, Randy, Kwok and I torutured Kamil into guessing what the gift was. Oh the joy. Lol.
Now I have something appropriate to drink out of while editing my photos.
Champion indeed!

It reminds me of kids putting hooded jackets on their heads and running around pretending to be superheroes.
