I really need to write more geeky stuffs. The nature of my blog has defied the laws of.. blogs. Okay I didn't really plan the starting very well.

Not the point.

The point is, this shall be a very geeky post, but dumb-ed down for mere mortals to attempt. Sounds great eh?


These 2 services will change your life.
1. Evernote
2. Box.net

If you already know how to use all of them, then there really isn't any point in reading this. Unless there are some thing you never knew you could do with it!

Alright, so what do I mean by flying?
This is how you could take all your data into the internet. Poof! Like magic, your data will always be available no matter which device you're using.

Why am I doing this all of a sudden?
Because the devices we're carrying increases in power exponentially, but we're not making full use of it. Especially your smart phone, it's one hell of a powerful device, I swear.

Fly~

As much as I don't want to admit it. Everyone is running away from MSN Messenger. Hardly anyone goes on it anymore. Well, WHY?!


I'm sure that this is a real pain in the ass for most people as well. Communicating over many different platforms doesn't have to be a painful process. I'm here to fix that.

Firstly, Windows Live Messenger, I love it. I don't understand why people is moving onto other forms of communication. Did you know you could chat to your Facebook friends on it?


As you can see on the bottom right hand corner, you can click Add to connect more services to your MSN Messenger.
When you're chatting on Facebook, you will be notified like so,



Skype sadly isn't able to be connected. However, since Microsoft has acquired Skype, I believe you'll see the integration sometime soon. So you'll be stuck with the default application for now.

Twitter, can be run as a background through Google chrome if you're using Tweetdeck. You can then tweet, reply, and get notifications from it.

Of course, this isn't very elegant.
Read on, for the 4 in 1 solution.

I'll be rambling on. But there's a point to this, I swear. 

After that craze about the SSD, I've finally manage to settle down and reap the real benefits of it. Still, there are some kinks that I had to work out.

Firstly, I've made the switch from Google Chrome, to Mozilla Firefox.

It pains me to say that because I've been a big fan of chrome ever since day one. Literally, when Chrome was in beta (and we were still using our n00b XP computers), I was one of the few people who jumped on the bandwagon.

It's a great piece of software, but sadly, it got more bloated over the years. And there really isn't much settings that I can really dive into without going too deep.

The main problem is due to the cache settings. You cannot tweak the size that it uses, nor can you view the size of it easily. (if you want to, use CCleaner to analyze the size). It's huge, it could go up to 1GB++ Of course I can't let that happen when I only have 67GB left in my tiny little drive.

Firefox basically allows me to change more of the settings and set it the way I want it to. (and I loved Firefox before I switched)

p.s. the reason why I didn't use Firefox before was because it felt slightly sluggish in comparison. But it's not a factor anymore (:

Anyway, if you read my previous post,
I mentioned that the temperature of your computer will go up when using tweaks based on the HM55/PM55 motherboards. Here's the evidence.

Software is called HWmonitor

That's how hot it went when I was stressing it pretty hard. I've already disabled one of the tweaks so that it'll be safer.

Alright, so here's the other part of the story. Something that you will probably learn. I just got the fiber optic network installed (OpenNet) it's a Singapore thing, Google it if you're not local.

I have written a rather comprehensive guide on whether you should upgrade or not. Read more to find out!
