Project AniSphere v3.0

Project AniSphere v3.0 is a further enhancement from my previous developed application which its primary function is to stored information of my downloaded anime and keeping track of each title that still in progress.

Basically this application has been developed only for personal use but it would be interesting that there is someone interested to use the application I developed. So for now i will start off with the enhancement of AniSphere v2.0 to AniSphere v3.0 with the knowledge of programming that I acquired during completion of my final year project. I will write down more detail during my progress to complete this project.

Movie: War

warJet Li and Jason Statham in the movie War~ It’s always both of them together just like Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in any movie they do. I didn’t know much about the movie but I expected it will be just full of action sequence and a lot of killing which it happen as i predicted. One thing seriously piss me off is the censorship of the movie which it’s really LAME!!! I was having hard time to understand how the scene goes where all those stupid idiots from the censorship board cut the scene extremely bad~! How on earth can people understand or enjoy the movie when such a little issues such as fuck, WTF, asshole and you know the rest of those foul languages appear in the movie??? It’s hard to explain how is the situation of the censorship but seriously you can never understand how stupid people do their work unless you are stupid like them as well…

Anyway… back to my review for this movie, in term of the story line it shows a good flow even most of the time just shooting, beating, slicing and saying foul language at each other. All I can say it’s unexpected for the ending and i give good credit to the director to come out with this plot but the ending suck~ One thing i don’t understand is one of the scene where Jet Li was praying for a 50mm titanium bullet which it seem like he is praying for the God of Bullet and bless him with the strength to kill more people with just a single bullet… Purely crap if you ask me…

I can say that this movie is just full of twist and turn as what you expected is not what will happen as there is no good and bad, no hero and bad bastard or good ending or bad ending. In other word just see the movie yourself but my suggestion is never to watch the show in Malaysia cinema but get yourself the DVD if you want to watch it in peace.

MapKing 2007

I have been using MapKing 2007 ever since i got my HTC P3300 which it has built-in GPS. Initially i had hard time to understand how it function as the interface is not truly friendly and I don’t understand most of the features that is being displayed. Still, i took some time to read the manual and I was stupid enough to find GPS signal in my room which it’s basically impossible to get any signal. So i ended up done most of the test outside my house and truly I was happy that it actually works.

Basically I’m using MalSing Malaysia map and sad to say that the map don’t even have detail road map within my housing area. Still the most important part is too see the functionality of the software and how accurate is the navigation provided to me when I’m traveling.

MapKing 2007 on my phone took quite some time about 1 minutes to pinpoint and connect on the GPS signal which it’s troublesome if I’m rushing out. During my travel i find that the routing and distance provided is quite accurate but still stupid in a sense where the route recommended sometimes is not logical. Basically I could drive straight and pass under the flyover highway but the route provided by MapKing 2007 directed me to go above the flyover highway which has traffic light and drive back down from the flyover highway…

Various test has been done in different location and i find that the route to Kuala Lumpur is really not reliable at all but maybe is because I’m using MalSing Malaysia map. So i would take some time to acquire different version of map and see the outcome.

In term of battery usage, it’s best to have a car charger while using MapKing 2007 as it require extensive amount of power as i estimated a full charge battery could allow about 3 ~ 4 hour usage. It’s sufficient to be use but considering that it’s my mobile phone i still need to use it for communication purposes which it’s not a good idea if my phone runs out of battery.

The benefit i gain from using this software is knowing more location and it’s much more easy for me to travel to new places that I rarely go but still I would rather rely on my driving instincts as this software is not 100% reliable. I’m going to test out more and it’s still too early to conclude the functionality of this software but at least I’m glad I have one to try out~

Windows Vista Home Premium

icon_boxshothomepremiumI don’t know about most of you when comes to Windows Vista but to me seriously it SUCK! What I’m trying to point out is that the launch of Microsoft newest operating system is just a bunch of security, interface and networking enhancement which basically manipulate every single consumer mind to say "Wow! This is so cool!!!". Forgot to mention I tried Windows Vista Home Premium Edition on Benq Joybook S31VW which the specification listed below:


Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T5500
RAM: 2GB DDRII (667 mhz)
HDD: 100GB
Chipset: Intel® 945GM
Graphic: Intel® GMA 950
*Further specification can be view at the official website


Basically the developer mention that the operating system could support previous version that has been developed by Microsoft but it’s just full of crap as there is so many updated which needed to be done and the update size is seriously big… Besides that in term of installing third party software poses a lot of compatibility issues. Not to mention gaming… This seriously the things i hate the most as any game i install and play the resolution would change to the worst one..

There is a lot issues which haven’t been mention but this itself already made me decide to roll back to Windows XP. My advice to those who plan to use Windows Vista, use it only for office tools and internet browsing… gaming and programming is surely a big blunder to use when comes to Microsoft Vista operating system…

v4_1It has been a while since i got this phone and for your information this model is not DOPOD P800W but HTC P3300. Even its same in term of its design and specification but surely i can tell that the quality is different and mine is not market for Asia.

Basically i got this phone thanks to my sister after winning a tournament. Basically she don’t want to use it as she is planning to get another one which i completely have no idea which one but surely not this. So I’m the owner of this HTC P3300 and it surely took a while to flash the ROM from French to WWE (World Wide English) ROM. Initially this phone is set for Mobile 5 but i always have the habit to check for new updates and found out Mobile 6 already release and the good part is that the official ROM for my phone is already out. So i start on ROM flashing and i got the latest ROM on my phone but… still it wasn’t enough for me.

I continue to search and since I’m a little more experience on flashing custom ROM, I manage to find PDAVIET Rom Black & Blue Edition which surprisingly this guy manage to extract out HTC TouchFlo technology and incorporate it to my pda phone which its code name Artemis. Somehow this ROM have some bugs but sooner or later Tom the person who developed this ROM will get it fixed.

About this phone, what i enjoy the most is the GPS system which i manage to get MapKing and been playing around with it while i travel to few places. Besides that the scroll wheal is useful, camera somehow a little blurry while the finishing touch of the phone durability is better than average. Not forgetting the phone loud speaker is seriously load and the clarity of the speaker while talking on the phone is seriously clear so this is what i truly enjoy this phone.

There is a lot more features i haven’t really try but i got all the time i have to try it out. Cheers!

Graduate

Finally i’m done and all I need to do now is just relax until graduation day which that is so unplanned but what da’ hell man as long i’m graduate! Wohoo!!!

Anyway, this is the best time for me to start planning things and definitly brush up on my programming skills and other things which I will get to that soon… I will try to keep posted on new stuff so for now i really need to write out ‘Things to do…’
