Check out On10.net



Guys, I've just this discovered this new site. It's a site by microsoft featuring videos mainly on the topic of tech lifestyle. I recognize some of the presenters are from techTV. It's really worth checking out so head on over. What's slightly strange is that it's site from microsoft, but uses Apple's Quicktime for the videos. And it's quite open too, for example, there's an option to share all the videos on blogs, digg, deli.ciou.us, or send it via email. I think the site updates daily at 10.

Try it out guys.

Also just discovered this amazing video, showing PhysX enhanced gameplay on Ageia's site here. It's mindblowing! Just in case you don't know PhysX by Ageia is a "physics processing card" you can add to your computer, much like a video card or a soundcard. Promising to be one of those essential things in the future of gaming, it offloads physics calculations off the CPU. To put it simply: exploding stuff, falling objects, fog and particles will look pretty amazing in future games!

To honest I find the that particular episode uninteresting, dunno about previous/future episodes. lagipun tak suka their self-promotion. On the PC diorang guna IE bukan firefox. sapa masih guna IE zaman sekarang ni?

Er me?

Because my Firefox is acting up lately. Asyik crash aje :( I miss all those tabs.

And some blogs look horrible in IE.

Akum guys,

Ok latest update. i have been driving non stop for the last three four days... I must say... wow.

I dont have a blog and I have not yet been home so I could not yet post any pics... but initial impressions are as follows.

On the day I got the car... wow... nice lines, cool leather interior... mmg susah nak control riak.. I was that excited... my car is car number 24 in Malaysia... wow..

The interior is done in black leather... everything is V kool. took a short spin on Friday.. but the real test was Saturday

Saturday....Melaka..

Drove the car to Ayer Keroh Melaka.. at 120 Kmph the rev limiter was at 2000 RPM!!!!! mak ai.. so low one! memang jimat minyak.. the crazy part was that it felt like it was going 60 kmph... there was more drive yet in the car.

On the flipside the goodyear NCT 5 tires were $#%$#%#@ noisy. So it was decided that the tyres had to go.

On the way back from Melaka went for a go kart ride.. that was fun but i burnt my backside from the engine and went to Nilai3. Nilai 3 is fast becoming the golok of Malaysia... my God. So many cheap imitations. Barlie Doll anyone?

Went back to USJ then made a quick trip to Shah Alam.. time to showcase the car to the father inlaw..oops.. hehehe.. to my dad.. He loved the car.. went for a spin that ended in a tyre shop in Klang. there we haggled the price for a brand new set our tyres for the Civic and the Camry. After that it was back home to USJ. Malam tu went shopping to Giant.. so the car has really been put through all "Malaysian" stress test and passed with flying colours.. except for those darn tyres.

On Sunday.. woke up, showered, drove over to Shah Alam, convoy with the Camry to Klang and spent three hours at the tyre shop. After that the driving was even better! The tyres were quiter... did not sound like a hurricane, now a lower intensity sound. The grip is amazing! 140 kmh in the rain with one hand and half a brain...the other half was on the phone with my wife... wow! and the car was as stable as a rock..

Later that evening drove back to Kuantan where I stayed the night.. driving was so effortless.. I wish we had cruise control... would have been handy in the highway.. this morning drove to work at 5.40... arrived in Kerteh at 7.00.. hmmmm maybe less traffic... who knows..

a good buy rating

9/10 - not an average ...hahahaha

O-K that was a good account of your first few days with the car. I think you really need to start a blog, man. Would really like to see pictures of the new car.

Sounds like an excellent car ... nak Honda jugak!!!!!!

Glad you like the short review..

Truth is I am too lazy to maintain a blog

The car is great.. however, the car is only the blam for what has been the lousiest week in my working life ever..

For the last several days i have been busy rereading and grading the assessment of the inidividuals in my department, and the worse part was to remove all those who initially had been given a good rating and downgrading them to fair.

What irks me is that i have been given the task of doing this and some other guy is enjoying his meetings with Taiwanese visitors and the bosses.

But at times one must swallow the bad along with the good. The exercise has made me more serious when looking at these assessments. I am already thinking of ways to make it better and more objective driven. Last year I have tried with KPI cascading and the introduction of IPCs. The guys were not willing to follow as they were afraid that the numbers will catch them out. As a result they use more qualitative means to give themselves ratings. This actually is even worse as in the eyes of the management, because the plant can't run a qualitative way of looking at the workforce is that they all did not perform.

With IPC, it is possible to see the vast improvements that have been made as it also tracks the performance in the previous year.

So i find myself at 4 pm looking at the watch wondering when can I leave and start driving..

Any way, i will post the pics soon. Just need tot ransfer them to the pc.

~OK~
