[To buy, or not to buy...] Over time, I found my usage habits changing. I started using more and more of the "smart" features of the smartphone. One of the things I really liked was the ability to store information in the cloud. It's so convenient, and I can access the information from all my devices across different platforms. Recently, I switched to the HTC Butterfly S. I loaded it with the biggest memory card it could support (64GB) and turned it into a portable video player. It works very well in this aspect as it has front-facing speakers. However, it would be better if it had a bigger screen. But with a bigger screen, it may not be convenient for me to carry it in my pocket. I'm thinking of getting a small tablet (7") for web surfing and media consumption. I could bring it with me to work, and watch shows on it when I'm on the bus. The only issue is that I currently don't carry a bag with me to work, which means I would have to hold the tablet in my hands. I don't always get a seat on the bus, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to hold and watch something on a 7" tablet with one hand. The tablet I'm thinking of (Nexus 7" (2013)) costs over $400. If it's around or below $300, I wouldn't be too concerned. Would just get one. But at over $400, I don't want to get it and then realise it's too inconvenient to bring around and end up using it only at home. Decisions, decisions... ^^^ by Locksley @ 7:00 AM.

[Withholding information...] I was previously on SingNet's ADSL plan. The plan came with free mobile broadband and I get 30GB of data on it every month. It comes with a dongle and is meant for normal computers. We seldom use this, only once in a while when the ADSL's down or when I need to go out with my laptop and need to have Internet access. When I switched over to fibre recently, I assumed that the mobile broadband, being free together with the ADSL plan, would be cancelled upon the cessation of the ADSL plan. That didn't happen. It changed from a free perk to a chargeable service. This was not communicated to us. Furthermore, the data bundle dropped from 30GB to 10GB. And because the ADSL plan is gone, the mobile broadband was converted to a standalone plan. Without contract, but it cannot be terminated for three months. All this was not communicated to us. We were served by a new (FT) CSO, but it's no excuse. I am now stuck paying three months for a service I don't use. Somehow, I feel a bit cheated. ^^^ by Locksley @ 9:54 PM.

Broken for now. :( If anyone knows of a good way to display tweets without using Twitter's awful looking widgets, please let me know. Preferably something that allows me to retrieve my tweets in plain-text format.
Anything and everything under the sun. I write about my day, my thoughts, things I see in public, things to get off my chest, or sometimes just some senseless rants that make sense only to me. 30 year old male. Always with too many ideas in his head and too little time. For my 15 minutes of fame, I want to be a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman. Movies, TV, cycling, computers, planted tanks, cherry shrimps, P2P legal issues, Manchester United, WWE, TNA, UFC, etc... Best viewed @ 1280*1024 or above. Views are expressed are mine and mine only, and are not meant to offend or influence anyone. Designed for readers with a sense of humour. If you can't laugh at yourself, you probably won't like my style of humour. |
