Catching Up

Things have been busy the past month.

Clients coming down from the US for a 1 month stay to go over the entire project (main source of busyness here).

Home equipment breaking down: The PC was mostly down and out of commission due to being in the hands of a certain niece and nephew for the past couple of months. It was returned in an unworkable condition.

While I was busy fixing up the PC, the laptop finally died. Hardware problems. First it was the battery. Couldn't hold much of a charge. Then the power supply. The wire finally frayed apart.

No power = no laptop

The Mrs has been bugging me to fix it, but I've got no spare funds to do so.

Spent most of the IT budget on getting the PC up and running again. Bought an nVidia AGP card and a DVD Writer.

Then the Mrs lost her phone.

So I pounced on a chance to get a new one. Let's try a "smart phone" this time around. Was eyeing a Nokia with a Symbian OS initially, but a good deal for an MWG Zinc II caught my eye.

For less than a $100 too! (with a 2 year contract, with SingTel). Probably one of the few rare purchases I made without having some "hands-on" research first. After entering credit card details, I spent some free time over the next few days digging up reviews. Sounds like I made a good purchase!

Can't wait to get my hands on it. It'll be delivered in a couple of days.

I've finally made an effort to blog again 'cause more than 1 person asked me, "When was the last time you updated your blog?"

Looks like I got some readers!

That makes 3, I think.
