I’m Not A Famosa Water Park Manager!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Do I look like a A Famosa Water Park Manager? Received an email that he lost his bracelet, asked to return him if could find it. Screen shoot of the email this reader sent to me.

Just wonder how could he think that I can help to find? I think most probably he found me via keyword A Famosa in search.

I have replied him contact A Famosa directly for help. Am thinking should I contact A Famosa to be their ticket reseller? :)

How To Edit Host File in Windows 7

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I have been started to use Windows 7 a month ago. It is definitely a better OS compare to Windows XP. In term of graphics, easy of use and features are well designed.

Anyhow, still need time to familiar with it. The setting, the location of program settings are little bit different from XP too.

Administrator Fail to edit Host file?

Host file is a setting file where we can manually input hostname and IP address of computer which don’t serve by DNS server. It is located at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ as usual. I edit it but unable to save. Do I have administrator right? Yes, I’m. But still CAN’T save it!

After check, administrator right in Windows 7 doesn’t mean you can do EVERYTHING. You still need to run as administrator to edit such sensitive %systemroot% location.

What I did is simple. Search  for notepad, right-click run as Administrator. Browse to the Host file and edit. That’s it.

Cheap Samsung Laser Printer

At last, I decided to get a monochrome laser printer since I don’t need color. It should eliminate print head jam, cleaning head issue. The cheapest laser printer in the market should be Samsung ML-1640, which cost me only RM245. (more…)
