Day 39 at New Job

Managed to survive for 39 days, so far working on 3rd project, not because finish already but because I got transferred around, so this time hope I can stay on this project and not jump around, but good thing is get to learn new stuff from different business domains so it's quite interesting. But I heard I might be going to another project, I'll leave it to the company to decide, it doesn't bother me at all, I can take on just about any role, business analyst, project lead, development, testing, deployment, infrastructure, face nasty customer, whatever they need me to do I'll just do, after all I'm paid to solve their problems. So far I find this new company good, have this very Singaporean feel to it, colleagues all very friendly, don't see any office politics, location also superb, near my home, have hawker centre, have coffeeshop, want to go smoke also near, big desk, comfortable chair, way better than my previous job. Compared to my previous job,

Jakemy & Jackly JK-6088A 38 in 1 Screwdriver

I happened to see this at Challenger last weekend, only S$12.90. This comes with an extension bar for difficult spots, and it's cheaper than buying online. I think it is a must to keep one box at home just in case, you never know when you need it and when the time comes and you don't have the right tool, it can be very frustrating. I learned this the hard way last week while trying to install the M.2 SSD on my new PC. This box looks like it has all the small screw heads that I can ever possibly use, there's even one for opening iPhone SIM card slot, and the material is Chrome Vanadium which is rust-resistant, and it is magnetic, and it comes with a nice box.

Logitech G603 Scrolling Issue Came Back, And Fixed Again

Previously I thought the scrolling issue was fixed, but yesterday it came back again, usual symptom is that in long pages when I scroll down all the way it will jerk up a bit sometimes, same for the other way. Seems like the following 3 steps didn't help at all, and my mouse settings on the G Hub keep on resetting by itself, even while watching movie when I pause to surf net the settings also suddenly gone. 1. Installed "Logitech G HUB". 2. Disabled "USB selective suspend setting". 3. Uninstalled "Logitech Gaming Software". So I did the following: 1. Uninstalled "Logitech G HUB". 2. Installed "Logitech Gaming Software". 3. Updated firmware via the "Logitech Gaming Software" to 8.6.28. 4. Enabled "USB selective suspend setting". By the way I'm using Windows 10 Pro 10.0.17134. Now looks like the scrolling is really fixed, keep my fingers crossed.

Final Charges for New PC

Previous post. I got the charges to my card for the PC and Windows 10 Pro. Total in SGD that I paid for the new PC is  S$2,031.78 . 01 Oct 2018 AMAZON.COM*MT3JD9HR1 AMZN.COM/BILL WA USD1435.73 S$2,024.82 Amazon conversion price was S$2,075.96, in this case I saved S$51.14. 05 Oct 2018 (This is for Windows 10 Pro) PAYPAL *ERVISPLAKU USD4.90 S$6.96 eBay conversion price by PayPal was S$6.76, in this case I paid extra $0.20. Seems like PayPal will take a cut, so for such situation is better to take their conversion price. By the way my Windows 10 Pro still works, updates and everything is working fine, only S$6.96 compared to the official S$399.

Logitech G603 Scrolling Fixed

Previous post. I logged a case with Logitech support and they got back to me with some troubleshooting steps, the following seems to have solved the scrolling problem. 1. Installed "Logitech G HUB". 2. Disabled "USB selective suspend setting". 3. Uninstalled "Logitech Gaming Software". The G Hub is a new software to replace the Gaming Software, it offers the same functionality with a new UI but I don't know if it really helped with the scrolling issue. Maybe disabling the selective suspend helped I don't know, or maybe just using Windows 10 helped lol, anyway glad that it feels normal again.

Finally Setup My Hades Canyon

Image
The package arrived on Thursday, one day earlier than expected. Amazon guarantee really power. To open the cover, need to use the hex key, it comes with the package. One spare M.2 screw I installed the RAM, quite straightforward. But I was unable to remove the screw from the standoff of the M.2 80mm slot, don't know why this one screw is super tight, so frustrating. Next day during lunch I went to buy those small screwdrivers for repairing spectacles but no use, the screw already quite stripped on closer look, think it was because of the red screwdriver I used. In the end managed to remove it using the plier I bought from IKEA but any plier with a flat tip should work, and good thing the NUC also comes with a spare M.2 screw. Only $1.90 The power plug is the USA type, but good thing is that almost any desktop computer power cord will work because it is the very common C13 plug, so I just reuse the one from my old desktop since

Preparing Installation for Windows 10 Pro

Last weekend I ordered a new computer, was wondering how I should get my copy of Windows 10 Pro, there are so many ways both legal and illegal and of course the right thing for everyone to do is to get a legal copy. First place that comes to mind is the SG Microsoft Store, the Windows 10 Pro is selling for S$399.00, I looked at the price and I was like what the f***, I can afford it doesn't mean I should go ahead and pay this kind of ridiculous price for an operating system, it's for personal use anyway so it's just absurd. Next I checked out the US Microsoft Store, it's selling at 199.99 USD, if convert to SGD is around S$274, why so much lower compared to the SG site? They think Singapore full of carrot heads? I also checked out Newegg.com, 194.99 USD with a free Call of Duty 4, I thought this was a good deal and I tried to buy but this stupid egg don't accept my SG credit card, weird. I went back to the US MS Store, somehow it also doesn't accept my

Payphone is Such a Rare Sight

In 2018 quite strange to see a payphone, I was at Tiong Bahru Food Centre and saw this payphone just behind the POSB ATM. Nowadays even kids also have a mobile phone, I remember long ago there was this orange colour payphone, one call 10 cents for one minute.
