Apart from just doing sound, I have discovered another interest of mine. This ‘job’ requires a whole new skillset, set of ideas and thinking. Mixing a live band requires good ears and some experience, designing a stage lighting setup requires creativity and an eye for detail. The workflow and SOPs for operating a sound board [...]

Random moments while studying
Posted: 27 April 2012 in apple, technologyTags: apple, ipad, lock, macbook, pro, standby, tech, technology
I was trying my hardest to study for my first paper that will come to past this coming Monday. While shifting my iPad around, it magically entered standby or lock mode. The screen turned black with the usual ‘click’ to inform me the iPad was locked. A random finding, a random moment. Want to replicate [...]
New angle? SMRT’s rail safety systems are in working order
Posted: 25 April 2012 in life, singapore, technologyTags: breakdown, LRT, mass, rail, rapid, sg, singapore, smrt, train, trains, transit
Firstly, I am not discounting the fact that our train systems have been acting up in the recent months, that electrical faults are reportedly the cause of rail disruptions and that SMRT’s maintenance processes have to be re-evaluated and reinforced. I also desire to have breakdown-free, hassle-free rides in this efficient island nation. However, looking [...]
CarrierCompare: Which Telco Works Best For You?

See description by the developer of this free, ad-supported iPhone app (SwayMarkets Inc) in the screen shot above. CarrierCompare supposedly judges the network providers by comparing ‘Signal Strength’, ’3G/ Internet Speed’, and ‘Response/ Latency’. Rather interesting app, but I am not sure how accurate the results are though. Do note that this app requires location data. [...]
StarHub Rewards: The Better Way
Posted: 13 April 2012 in life, starhub, technologyTags: point, points, redemption, reward, rewards, starhub
After years (exaggerating of course) of analysing, I have finally found a better way to redeem my StarHub reward points. People with SingTel, feel free to contribute too (am not too sure about Red Rewards as the scheme started quite recently). Till now, I am quite amused at how people complain like mad just because [...]
NTU: Looping Video Advertisements

While I understand the need to keep students informed about events in and news about NTU, there should be a better place to install the television set. Listening to lectures and tutorials with loud advertisements on loop filtering into this tutorial room is a quite an experience I must say. An incident: A boring lecture [...]

Thanks to the people at Waggener Edstrom Worldwide and Sony, I was given the opportunity to run a Twitter contest. Simply, readers had to just creatively craft tweets that included 2 keywords – #instantpower and @BIG_MOUSE. It was exciting for me too as it was the very first giveaway from this blog. Now, for the winning [...]

Stuck with your out-of-warranty Creative Gigaworks T3? Volume fluctuating problems? Creative doesn’t want to replace the unit for you? Creative doesn’t allow you to buy the 15-dollar volume control remote? Don’t want to travel all the way to International Business Park? I have had to survive with 4 different hardware failures within a year of [...]
