1Malaysia

31 August: 1Malaysia celebrates the 52nd National Independence Day.



31 August: We have to take independence to our heart. We should be independence physically and mentally as well as spiritually. Our ancestors had fought for the independence, and what do we do to continue their mission. Do the mission accomplished?

31 August: When our country gained Independence, and now we live a better life, are we here to stay do nothing? Think again. We are still left behind. If we are the one who fight for Independence, I'm sure we hope our future generation do the best for the country and not taking things for granted.

31 August: Our mission haven't completed:



31 August: My flight to Canada. Pray a safe journey. Happy Independence Day, Happy 1Malaysia!

Mobile Phone Chess Clock

Are you searching for analog or digital chess clock? Tired of waiting while playing with your deep thinking brother? Now, you can have it for free. You can also train yourself according to certain timing.

Previously I have posted on Chess Clock for Free basically for Windows. This want is great, but you will need to your laptop bring everywhere you want to play chess.

These applications works with all cell phones with java. Just download the file to your PC, unzip and send to .jar file to your phone using bluetooth, infrared or USB cable.



1 - MobileChessClock

MobileChessClock is released in 2005 by Tomas Hubalek [Hubalek]. MobileChessClock can set different time for two different players. Only button number 6 is used to switch between players, but the sound when switching mimics real sound when pressing the real analog chess clock! I prefer MobileChessClock than ChessGoClock. Free!



2 - ChessGoClock

ChessGoClock is released by rainer_blind@gmx.de in February 2006. The difference with MobileChessClock is ChessGoClock has Fisher timer set up and it is easier to set up time. Time can only be set up once, same for both players, however, switching players in this application is much better, where one player use the left side button, while the other player use the right side button. But, no sound! Also free.

If popular websites are people...


Elontirien, a comic artist, on deviantART, illustrated popular websites as different types of people. Through several criticism, you can analyze why Elontirien portray them in such ways.

Facebook with cool thumb up, Twitter as a small kid, Myspace with a headphone, Wikipedia as a specky kid, DeviantART as a girl, Youtube with emotional action, and Google as a nerd.

An artist commented this picture as "Internet University", where all the students and faculty are personified famous websites.

Do the pictures portray the famous websites? What say you?

Dropbox - The simplest, most elegant file-sync tool ever

This is an update of the previous post Dropbox - Syncs, back-up, share files easily! [Anasfaris].

"The simplest, most elegant file-sync tool ever" quoted from PC Magazine. With the latest version of Dropbox 0.6.550 for windows, dropbox tries the best to upgrade its features.

With dropbox, you never have to e-mail yourself a file again, keep files syncs between computer, and share files easily with others.

One more feature that I found interesting is the Shared folder. Using dropbox, you can create a shared folder and invite anyone using dropbox to the folder. You can transfer pictures to your friends like you transfer pictures to his thumb drive without having to be in the same place. Most amazingly, the transfer was really fast. You and your friends can also collaborate files that your group want to edit.


Last but not least, you will get a 2GB of storage for free, with up to 100GB available to paying customers. However, if you still want more with free storage, you can get extra spaces by referring. By referring to your friends, both you and your friend will get extra 250MB space. You can have up to 3GB bonus space!
