Got Me a Jasper

I finally found a Jasper. For those in the dark about what Jasper is, it's a new revision of Xbox360. It is said to have been released since September, but only seen since November.

People are going crazy looking for Jaspers in time for Chrismas. Some even went to all retailers like Walmart, Bestbuy, Circuit City and Gamestop to look for it. And since the only way to know if it's a Jasper is by poking at the serial number opening at the side of the box - which easily tears - some got kicked out of the store. Those crazy Americans. HAHA. Wait..I'm American too. But, I'm a smart American.

So I waited until the festive season is over, and bought one from Newegg. Guess what. I snatched a Jasper.

What so great about Jasper anyway? Well, it has a die shrink on the chip. That's it actually. Meaning the microchip previously made using 90nm process now is 65nm. Yes, that's Nanometers. This seemingly small tweak made all the difference. Smaller die means less heat and less power consumption; hey, even gamers are going green too. The maximum power draw decreases from 200W to 150W. That's a 25% decrease, which is a lot.

Great job engineers for making the earth greener. I wish I was one. Wait..I'm an Engineering undergrad.. HAHA..another +1 for me

ps: jangan marah nnti kene jual

The End

So this is how our story ends. I knew there are no happy endings or happily ever after; in reality we either accept the fate and split or live long enough to see one of us die before the other.

Am bored

What would I do when I'm bored? I would do a video and post it on youtube.

So this is a video of a recent gaming rig I build for a friend. Even though it's not mine, I still get the satisfaction of building it and putting it together. I just love it when the computer starts for the first time. Makes me wanna say "it's alive!It's alive!". Hey, that's why I'm studying to be an engineer.

Freedom at last

Another semester completed; sanity intact.

A month of blissful enjoyment without a care in the world. Do I deserve it? Hell yeah!!

Right now I'm just too carefree to even THINK of writing a long blog. I'm gonna let it all sink in first.

Too soon to celebrate

I'm halfway through this nightmare. Only three final exams left.
Yea, I took 6 courses this semester.

The last drive is gonna be the worst; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday straight.

I'm reporting these before going into the battlefield, in case I don't make it.

Geronimoooooooo...

New toy

I got myself a new toy; my first Nokia phone, the N78.

I got sick of my old phone randomly switching off when not in use, even when the battery is full. So here it is, the first look:
The front is almost entirely smooth, except for the number and scroll pad. I can go on and on about the spec, but im just gonna lay down the basic and interesting ones.

It's a 3.5G phone with a 3.2MP camera at the back and a small vga at the front(for video call). There's WiFi capabilities, meaning I can surf the web using wireless internet which is faster. The browser can display full webpages like on a real computer.

Another cool feature is the GPS capability. The GPS can pinpoint your location anywhere in the world. There's also a turn by turn navigation feature to guide you to where you're heading. I've just tested it around the University, but so far it looks robust and correct.And finally the sleek and smooth black finish fits perfectly with my style. Like I need more black accessories with my black shirts, hoodies, backpack and pc. It so smooth, i can even use it a mirror. Overall, I really like my new N78. It has completely exceed my expectations. I just wish it doesn't attract too many fingerprints.

An accident

OMG. I just hit two antelopes on the road. They just came out of nowhere and i hit them. Those innocent creatures never knew what hit them. However I did manage to snap a picture of the incident, just in case i need it for insurance purposes.
The jeep is still in good shape. It doesn't need any expensive body work. I'm sorry Mr and Mrs Antelope. I should've been more careful. Hope you rest in peace/pieces.

Now I can sleep in peace. ZZZZzzzzzzz
