I gave my first to Rinaz! I’ve never tried it before. It was my very first time. Rinaz was the one who initiated it. Before I could decline her offer, I’m already on her! She was shocked when I managed to surprise her over and over again. She was enjoying it throughout the session. Me too, it was something new and exciting. I got to explore the many functions and never did I know it could be so cool! At first she said she’ll keeel me if I capture it and blog about it. But then later she agreed to me sharing our first time with everyone. Here are some shots taken during our first webcamwhoring on MSN! (What were you thinking about you dirty fellow! :P) This is my first time using the Motion Eye on the Sony Vaio for MSN. There’s this iMagic effect where you can just click to apply to the video call on MSN. Its so funny lah! Rinaz and I were fooling around for like hmm 45min? Can’t remember lah, but it was damn funny. Anyone else want to play webcamwhoring with me and Rinaz? Wahahahaha! Ditch iPhone! I want the HTC Touch Diamond! This is the coolest I’ve seen so far! I admit I’m a little skeptical at first, but when I saw the phone, I simply couldn’t stop drooling! I loveeee it sooo much that I’m willing to forgo all my other presents for the rest of the year just so someone can buy this one for me!! Wahahaha! So who’s going to buy it for me?? Imagine these… WATCH videos online on the web browser at ultra high speed! YES! Video streaming is possible on the HTC Touch Diamond!! There’s even a customized build in UI for YouTube fans! Forget about scrolling left, right, up, down just to read a page on your mobile phone, now you can zoom to the exact parts you want to read and the text AUTO adjusts itself to fit within the screen! (No matter how big the font you’re zooming into!) I loveeee! Small, sleek and stylish! Loveee the metal body, glass screen and diamond-like behind! Runs on Win Mobile 6.1 Professional with HTC customized interface. And I’m NOT talking about normal boring drop-down menu nor those dull looking lists loh! Using TouchFLO 3D technology, you can view your contact lists as if you’re flipping through your favorite photo album! Watch your email being sent to your inbox in envelops! Watch (not read) the weather forecast right from the phone! Do all this on the super clear and brilliant 2.8-inch TFT-LCD touch-sensitive screen VGA resolution display! There are just sooo many WOWs for this sleek stylish phone! I’m sure you’ll be able to experience it more with Rinaz’s videos and Jayden’s photos. I’m just toooo excited about the phone to do anything. (Excuses! Real reason cos I forgot to charge my camera battery!) The men from HTC - Jack Tong (VP HTC Asia), Jason Juang (Executive VP) and John Wang (Cheif Marketing Officer) But SERIOUSLY!!! This phone is better than the iPhone UI lah! It’s smaller and less prone to scratches too! And it comes with a stylus and ladies with long fingernails can use it too! Some of us were sooo intrict by the phone, we stayed on after 6 to discover more about the phones with the nice people from HTC. Thanks Melvin and Jessica for being so patient with us. OK… now you must be wondering this phone is just too good to be true. Of cos, nothing is 100% perfect lah! Some not so good points about this phone is that it doesn’t allow add-on memory so we’ll have to make do with the inbuilt 4GB storage. (Not so good cos iPhone got like up 32GB?) While trying on the demo set, there seem to be some lagging when changing between functions and it took quite awhile for the camera to load. But since its just a demo set, the real thing might not have this problem. With super sleek graphics, I worry about the battery life thou. But they assured that its good for a day use and if used moderately, it should last for about 2 days. But STILL!! HTC Touch Diamond is just tooooo good to miss lah!!! So who’s going to buy for me?? I promise to be good and not buy anymore new gadgets for the rest of 2008! Wahahahaha! For those who’s planning to get an iPhone, but does not own a mac, or even if you do, hold your horses! Go check out the HTC Touch Diamond first and compare before deciding which to invest in! Here’s the product video for this latest craze coming to town in June. I video-ed it while they played at the launch but I found the video at HTC website, and since I can’t embed it, I downloaded and uploaded to vimeo instead. Hope they wouldn’t mind. Please inform me if this has to be removed ya. P/s: Thanks Gina from The Right Spin for the invitation to the launch of this super cool phone! UPDATES: You can watch a demo video of the Touch Diamond at work here. Calling all 81 bloggers! Ever since I started blogging, I find it strange why friends around me doesn’t seem to be into blogging as much as I do. And when I started chatting with Krisandro, then we realised something! There’s sooo many bloggers from 1980s but so few are from 1981! How can??? Where has all the 1981s gone to? We’ve decided to get this call for 81s-bloggers out there! If you’re born in 1981, and know of other bloggers who’s 1981 too, past this on and add yourself to the list so that previous bloggers will be able to find you too. Just copy and paste the following list and add on to it. PLEASE NOTE that this list is only for bloggers born in the year 1981! If you’re not, please start your own list and pass it on. 1. Claudia (July) - http://claudia.sg 2. Sharon (Nov) - http://eternityong.wordpress.com/ 3. Kris (Dec) - http://krisandro.com 4. 5. Please pass this on to all the 1981 bloggers out there! And don’t forget to link it back! Are you the “I” or the “E”? This is simply hilarious! Great stuff by iJustine! So which side do you see yourself at? I’m almost like the crazy looking EJustine already! But nope, I don’t have a “Second Life“. Well, at least I tried to, but just found that its not suitable for me. What about you? Blog Buck$? Yebber$ better! Just last night I was blabbing about how those appearance of me on papers aren’t of much use as they didn’t mention about my blog. And today, in Digital Life, 5 bloggers were featured for the amount of monie they’re getting from blogging. The 5 bloggers mentioned either have a decent traffic to their blog or fan base already. And now that their blog url is printed on the papers, they’ll probably be enjoying even more traffic now and earning more money. That’s why they can afford to earn monie through blogging. But let’s look at the real situation now, how many of you bloggers out there have managed to earn enough from these advertising companies and cashed out the money? I’m not trying to promote my product, but its just something which I’d blogged before, and I’m going to say it again. YEBBER PAYS MORE! Quoting from a fellow member from Yebber, “Yebber$ is like a consistent income.” This was what he told me when I asked him to compare his blog earnings and his Yebber$ earnings. So far over 10 month period, he earned about S$300 from his blog ads. At Yebber, he had already exchanged about S$320 over 9 months. Let me enlighten further with an example: Let’s say you post 5 photos (max.) for every review you write on Yebber.com, you’ll earn Y$25. Everyday, you find some time to post 2 reviews on Yebber… so it’ll total up to Y$25 x 2 x 30 = Y$1,500. Based on the exchanged rate on Yebber now, you’ll get *Y$1,500 x S$0.0664 = $99.60! It’s sooo easy right? $99.60 in a month for just writing 2 reviews and adding photos everyday?? Since many of us are already taking photos of food, places, while shopping and all, why not spend some time posting it up and share your experiences with the 100,000+ people visiting Yebber? Which review site pays you for writing reviews, posting photos, adding new businesses and even for reading the reviews???!!!! This ONLY happen at Yebber.com loh! So what are you waiting for? One of the members who’ve cashed out at Yebber.com shared on her blog…Brainy Bimbo Sometimes we run contests to help members boost up their Yebber$ too! Follow Yebber blog for more information. And also to share, another blogger who won in the recent contest at Yebber - UFC received Y$100 recently! If you’ve any doubts, or questions, you can leave a comment or send me an email. *Terms and conditions apply. Please refer to Yebber.com for more information. Disclaimer: This post is a suggestion as to an alternative for people (young and old, blogger or non-blogger) to earn a little extra income just by posting reviews and photos on Yebber.com. And the example given above is not the norm and should only be considered as a suggestion on how one can increase their Y$ earning and speed up their accumulation. It is not suggested that it is a must for anyone to post 2 reviews with photos in a day. Are you on TwitPic? I’m sure everyone reading this have heard of or are already using Twitter, but have you started TwitPic-ing yet? Chanced upon it couple of days ago, and I’m sooo going to make full use of it! (Also a way to make good use of my super-under-used-Singtel Mobile broadband on my motoQ9h.) Here’s a sample of how TwitPic badge looks like… I’ve added my TwitPic on my sidebar and if you’re following me on Twitter, you should be getting twits of my twitpic whenever I’m twitpic-ing too. This is surely an even better way of sharing what one is doing at any one time. Twitter only allows up to 140 character per twit. But a picture speaks a thousand words! What are you waiting for? Start TwitPic-ing now! Face on TNP today! It’s really nothing to shout about, but since some people every little thing also want to blog, so I shall post this up too. Haha! At least I got my face on it lah. So still better than just name mentioned lah. But still, its seriously no big deal lah. Anyway, if you didn’t see it on TNP, here’s the shot of the little box I was given. So how did my face got up there and why was I asked to give a statement on this topic? Seriously, I also don’t know why leh. This girl whom I met at one of the event who’s interning at SPH, just happened to call me on Friday and asked if she can ask me some questions. I thought she’s doing some feedback collection for her article, so I just answered her loh. Then after that she told me to send a photo to her. I was like… erm… alright loh. You asked me to send so I send loh. Later then I found out its going to be under Speak Column. Which I have no idea what’s it about leh. Haha! I seldom read papers one. So today when I saw TNP, then I realised its somewhere where public can contribute their letters/comments or shots in to be published lah. If its being selected for publishing, the contributor will get $50 border voucher. But sadly, I didn’t receive any since ermm… they’re the one that contacted me. So ya, that’s that lah. Anyway, I guess many bloggers or readers of online stuff would not have seen that papers too lah. So I’m posting it up here for all to see loh. I hope if ever I get a chance to appear in the news again, they’ll be kind enough to mention my blog lah. Then my traffic might go even higher lah. Haha! Like the previous one I was featured, Sandra did mention about Yebber.com. So I’m happy lah. At least my work is being “promoted” on the papers lah. So if you’re reading this, and hope to feature me in your next article, be kind k? Mention my URL. It’s so simple leh! Just add .sg behind my name! The War is ON! This video is just so funny lah! FingerGun Fight! Haha! But really, if I were to go take part in this, I’ll go with earplug and sunglasses. So I’ll not be killed since I can’t hear and pretend not to see anyone banging me. Haha! Anyway, if you’re free on 31 May between 3.30 to 6pm, why not join Mission:Singapore at their FingerGun Fight! I know Pingsters are planning to go for it. Are you? Let the war begin! Family Wii Party So what happened at tonight’s Wii Party at Uncle Max’s place? It was just too funny lah! Everyone was greatly entertained. This is then the real fun of Nintendo Wii! It’s never too big a group for Wii! Will be posting videos taken tonight here as I am done with them. Here’s what happened tonight… The Lims and The Wii! to be continued… Pingsters Lim Jiu @ Brewerkz Did you miss this gathering? Wondering what crazy things Pingsters did at Brewerkz tonight. (BTW, we’re still here now!!) OK! So here’s a sneak of what is happening here… Updated: 12:11am on 18 May 2008 Home after the event. Great meeting many new pingsters today! Had great time chatting. So now… we sure wait for Miss Hello Kitty to post about it so we can “steal” the links from her. Here’s Video #2…a combo of random shots from tonight. I think I missed almost half of those who came. My bad. Too shy (ahem ahem) to go over the “serious” side. Hope will get a chance to meet the rest who came today too. Looking forward to the next Pingsters gathering. For photos, go check out Adam’s blog. He got everyone’s faces there! For links to fellow bloggers who posted on this session, I think Arzhou is compiling them. Pata-Pata-Pata-Pon! I’m crazy! The rhythm is stuck in my head! I go “Pata-Pata-Pata-Pon” everytime I want to move forward! When I want to attack something or someone, I’ll go “Pon-Pon-Pata-Pon”! Those who saw me doing it thinks I’m mad. But if you’re an addict like me, you’ll be doing the same too! What the hell am I talking about? Watch this video to find out! It’s damn fun lah! I want a new PSP! Red one will be cool! *hint hint* July 3 coming… On Being the “Face” for Organisations After reading Daryl’s take on the importance to name company’s bloggers, I’ve got some thoughts of my own. Since I’m one of those rare individuals with the title “Community Manager” in Singapore. (Perhaps there’s more, but I’ve not met them yet. Would love to mingle with more CMs if there’s a chance to.) I’d wanted to leave this as a comment in his blog, but felt more appropriate posting it since it seems more like a thought than a comment. Hmm… anyway, my immediate thoughts that came to mind… Am I the face for Yebber already? Am I suitable to be the one in the front line of such organisation? So what if I leave Yebber one day? Would the community that I’ve build leave too? Would the community change or even disappear? So if the community moves together with the Community Manager/the blogger behind the organisation’s blog, does that mean that they’re the important element that cannot be taken lightly for? Will elaborate on the points and thoughts later tonight or tomorrow. While typing this post, I’ve also started a group in facebook! Talk about multi-tasking! (Yes! We GEN-Y people are great multi-taskers! Ha!) So if you’re a CM of any businesses or organisations too, why not join the group? Or tell your friends if you know any in the same line. Also going to consolidate some links for reference. If you know of any interesting reads, share with me too ya. Benefits of Having a Community Manager by Connie Bensen On Managing A Community by Chris Brogan Community: From Little Things, Big Things Grow by George Oates My 1st try at Scrapblog - Failed I loveee-ed scrapping! But I still like it now, in fact I’m missing it!! But I’ve no time to scrap anymore. I still do have tons of scrapbooking stuff left around my room, soon I’ll find one day for a “Scrap Garage Sale” at my house. (Probably in June. Watch out for it!) “i heart photography” - one which I did long ago I’m so excited when I saw Sylvia’s twit about Scrapblog. I immediately registered and gave it a try. I’ve to say I’m loving it! It’s sooo much easier and its like digital scrapbooking that’s FREE! Love it! I’m seeing myself using it very often as its fast in loading and works so easily. I can pull photos from my flickr account and I get to embed and share my photos in pretty scrapbook pages! If you’re a scrap-a-holic like I was, go try Scrapblog! It’s cool! Here’s what I did on my 1st try… UPDATED 2 days after trying out Scrapblog and 2 days after typing the above post and saving it as draft. I was going to post the published scrapbook here but guess what?! After multiple tries to publish the 3 pages of my 1st scrapbook for the past 2 days, I failed to get it published! It’ll hang there for sooo long that I gave up! Not sure what went wrong thou. The loading for editing is fast and saving has no problem. Just the publishing part I got stuck! Checked the FAQ in the site and followed the troubleshooting instructions. Still cannot publish!! Arggggh! Giving up! Poked by Crab Abang told me that a man died after being bit by a crab sometime ago. I started to panic even more when he couldn’t recall whether the man was bitten by a live crab or a cooked one. Here’s the article I found… March 22, 2007: Man dies after crab pricks him By Amelia Tan IT WAS a tiny wound, but it took only 48 hours to kill him. On the morning of Feb 22, 83-year-old Tan Boon Hock was preparing some live crabs for his family’s dinner when one of the crabs pricked his hand. He put a plaster on the small cut and thought no more about it, but around midnight, he began vomiting and had diarrhoea. By 6am, his condition had not improved, and his wife called their son for help. Mr Tan Aik Cheng told her to call the ambulance while he rushed to his parents’ home. ‘The paramedics told me that he was in a critical condition as his heart beat was irregular and his blood pressure was very low,’ Mr Tan said. His father was sent to the Accident and Emergency department of the National University Hospital. ‘The doctors told us that he had been infected by a rare flesh-eating bacteria called Vibrio and…it was most likely that the crab spread the bacteria to him.’ To prevent the virulent bacteria from spreading, doctors had to amputate his arm from below the elbow. He then spent the night in the intensive care unit. But it was already too late. Said Mr Tan: ‘The doctor called me on the morning of Feb 24 to tell me that my father had been given the maximum dosage of antibiotics but he was not getting any better. He was being kept alive by the medicine. ‘He said that if the dosage was lowered, my father would be able to pass on more quickly and we could end his suffering.’ Mr Tan agreed, and his father died at around 2pm that day. Last Friday, Mr Tan sent an e-mail to about 30 of his colleagues and friends, thanking them for their support and also to tell them more about the incident. The e-mail was then passed to The Straits Times. ‘I sent the e-mail to tell my friends that they must be careful when handling crabs. I have been pricked myself by crabs, but I never thought that it was a big deal. ‘I hope that through this incident, people will learn that they should see a doctor immediately if they are pricked by crabs.’ Doctors interviewed said that the Vibrio bacteria, while potentially lethal, is rarely passed onto humans. Apart from crabs, it can be found in other seafood like fish and prawns. Cooking destroys the bacteria, making the seafood safe for handling and consumption. Changi General Hospital orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Chang Haw Chong, said he sees about 20 cases of flesh-eating bacteria a year but has only treated two patients infected by Vibrio over the last 10 years. One of them died. People with weak immune systems, like those with diabetes and Hepatitis B, can be more susceptible to it, he added. Generally, a healthy person has a high chance of survival if the infection is treated early, added Associate Professor Paul A. Tambyah, the head of division of Infectious Diseases at the National University of Singapore. Good thing the article was about being bitten by a live crab. At least I feel less stressed now. My finger was being poked by the pincer of a cooked black pepper crab on Sunday night at Mummy’s day dinner. I didn’t bother much about being poke then and was enjoying eating the crab. This morning, when I woke up, my poked finger was numbed. I couldn’t bend it and I could feel a swell in it. I tried to pinch the skin and there was a lump and it hurts. Tried pinching, poking, pushing and squeezing, hopefully whatever is inside the skin gets pushed out (like pimples). Managed to squeezed some “juice” out of it in the morning but the swell didn’t get any smaller. So throughout the whole day, my finger was erected… I tried to squeeze even harder before shower just now, and more “juices” flowed out. This time round, some blood came out too. I was squeezing and pinching so hard that my entire finger was red. Applied Dettol antiseptic cream over it now. Hope the swell will get better in the morning. If I don’t blog nor twitter for more than 24hrs, then something might just happen to me. *keeping the other fingers crossed* Yes! That is me in the papers today. If you’re wondering why that woman lying on the green grass seem so familiar, well, yes, if you’d not noticed by now, that’s me! Never had I imagined they would put up such a huge photo of me and my gadgets on The Straits Time Saturday featured story lah! Thanks to Sandra Davis, whom contacted me via email about a month ago, asking if she can do a short interview with me as she’s working on a story on Gen Y in the workforce. But it was only recently then she got the green light from her boss that the article will be used. So over the past few days, we spoke over the phone for a few times and she arranged for a photographer to meet me to get a few shots. If you’ve not seen the papers today, here’s the cover of Saturday on 10 May 2008. My short blurb is on page S5, with a huge unglam shot of me. The photo is great. But that face… gosh! I think I’m better behind the cameras lah. Seeking Thrills, Spills and Variety Claudia Lim, 27, community manager of Yebber.com Ms Lim holds two diplomas in business and education. She started her working life as a primary school teacher but left after three years to be the operations manager of an art and crafts shop. She is now a community manager at Yebber.com, a website where the public is invited to post online reviews of shops, restaurants, hotels and a range of lifestyle services. Gadget-loving Ms Lim owns a Macbook, two cameras, a Sony camcorder, a Creative Zen digital music player and a Motorola PDA phone. Of her apparent Generation Y habit of job-hopping, she says: “I am looking for the right fit in terms of a career. One that will give me variety and constantly challenge me.” Some questions I got from friends, relatives and Yebbers which I thought I should just blog about it instead of repeating it over and over again. Ha! How did TST (Sandra) found me? Seriously, I really don’t know how she found me in the first place. But I guess, she could have been surfing around blogs and chanced upon mine and saw my resume on my blog? Or perhaps someone had referred me to her while she chatted with them. Wah! So Claudia, you’re now famous liao leh! Photo so big on the papers! Ermm… there’s thousands of faces appearing on papers and magazines daily lah. And how many can you recall? Not many right? So ya, I’m not famous or what lah. Just happened to be shortlisted to be featured. And with that unglam shot of me, with my big eyebag and round round cheek, I would rather people see and forget that they saw my face lah! I’ve a strange and strong feeling that I would most probably be stared at in the bus on Monday loh! Everyday I see the same faces in the same bus! (Maybe I should just take an earlier or later bus to work next few days. Ha!) Photoshoot outside Marina Square Recently I was asked to lie down on the grass field outside Marina Square by a guy. He was young and an intern at SPH. With all my gadgets laying in front of me, I tried my best to pose for his camera. It wasn’t the best angles of me from where he was shooting, but I didn’t want to disrupt his shoot. He was there to take photos of me for an article that’s in the Saturday section of The Straits Time for today. I’d been receiving SMS since 8am (!!!) telling me that they saw me on the papers. But till now, I’ve not seen the article myself! (Thanks to the sleepy head in me.) I was told the photo featured is pretty big, and from the way they’d described the photo to me, I think its one of the ugly shots of me! Gosh! I think i need to dig a hole and hide liao! Will get a shot of the article later when I get myself a copy of today’s TST. No Time To Blog… … But I Twitter. I’m sooo tied up at work and many other community stuff, I’m going crazy! If you’ve not noticed my twitter updates, almost everyday, at the sidebar, I’m going to paste it here. This shall be my blog update “posts” for now. I will try to blog when I’ve got chance to. And when I’ve got news to share. By the way, look out for Saturday’s Straits Time. Hmm… I wonder if it would ever appear… Till then… to keep yourself posted about what’s happening in my life… Follow me on Twitter Being Stared by Cute Jap Girl Just when I thought I’d seen enough of camwhoring by the local celebrity bloggers. This one is the ultimate lah! Seriously, what the hell she’s doing? But whatever she did, she attracted lots of hits! And obviously, she did disturbed me enough for me to blog about it! She got an entire channel loh! Desprate for Snack It sucks to be sick! For the past 2 days (over the weekend somemore!), I’m deprived of snacks. My weakest link is chocolate, especially when I’m uber stress, I will stuff myself with lots of chips and snacks. Perhaps I should try Sheylara’s way of “dieting”. But I doubt I would be able to survive just on snack everyday thou. I wonder how she managed to do it. Anyway, since I was deprived from eating snacks, I tried googling for them. Can’t eat but can see mah! Haha! Yes I was that desperate can?! So I tried searching for “Snack Blog” and I ended up chancing upon Justine’s blog at Tasty Blog Snack. Although the blog is not all about snack, but still I find her content pretty interesting. And I love her self-shot videos! The new trend for cam-whoring! Loving her blog! Go check it out! Couple of other snack blogs I found, but either its outdated with no new posts, or its nothing fantastic. Just when I was about to give up, I found this! A blog all about snacks! And looking at it, seems like its by some locals too! So cool lah! If I’ve the time, I would love to blog about snacks too! Maybe Sheylara can join in this group of bloggers too. I found CC’s girlfriend there also loh! Something different from the usual food blogs that’s soo common these days. *ahem ahem* (I know people are going to humtam me soon.) Protected: What I’m Busy With This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below: Password: I hate to read. But I read his thoughts. I can’t remember how I chanced upon this young guy whom has a great mind and thoughts. Coming from a none communication related background, I struggled at my job. Even after almost 9 months, I see myself needing to learn more, to hear more and to read more. But if you still don’t know me well enough, you might not know that I HATE reading. Yes! Everytime I see lines and lines and paragraph of words, my eyes tend to shut and my brain usually ignores 99% of the words infront of me. But I find myself reading Daryl’s blog at Unique-Frequency. I’ve to say I admires and respect his work on his blog. He may be only a fresh fresh-grad-to-be from SMU, but he sure have a very good mind and concept on what he’s doing. Vocal is another word to describe him. This guy is one to look out for. If you’re scratching your head now, why not check out his recent hot posts on Why Social Media Struggles in Singapore. I’d been reading it over and over for a couple of time, but with my mind being occupied by sooo many things now, I just don’t know how to contribute. I really want to but my mind just aren’t making sentences out. What will you do? What should I do? I’m stuck in a decision now. I don’t know which is a better alternative to take. I need help! If you’re a mac user, a photographer, a videographer, a video editor, or a web2.0 enthus like me (ahem ahem!), than can you pleaseeee help me? I’m now using a macbook 2GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 667 MHz memory. My harddisk memory (80GB) is drying up and had to backup lots of things in my external HDD daily to make space for more new stuff. 80GB where got enough??? Recently I found myself doing LOTS and LOTS of HD video editing and post processing tons of high resolution photos. Up top of these, I will be starting to create my own music with Garageband and thus need lots lots lots more storage and faster and better processors. So now I’ve given myself a couple of choices. I need help to decide which is the most cost effective one. Do you think you can help? Option 1 Buy a 500GB Seagate Free Agent HDD + upgrade my current 80GB internal HDD to 200GB + iMovie08 upgrade This option, I will have to fork out cash for all the above. It’ll probably set me back to about $600 cash. Option 2 Sell off my 1 year old macbook (with 3 more years warranty) + buy a macbook pro on interest free installment plan + 500GB Seagate Free Agent HDD For this option, I will get some cash in hand from the sale of my current macbook, and I’ll end myself up with yet another installment plan which will probably be around $200 for 24months. The cash in hand I can use it to buy the Seagate HDD and offset whatever outstanding bills for my cards. Hmm… tempting option. Option 3 Stick to whatever I have now and just dump all rarely used files into hundreds of DVDs. And continue to backup and delete files from my macbook to make room for new stuff. This one, I will most probably end up wasting lots of time everyday trying to find files to remove, delete and transfer to external HDD or DVDs. Time is not an option as I’m running out of time! So now what? Is there an option 4 for me? How??? Claud Talks Hibernate Thanks everyone for your support at Claud Talks. It has been quite an experience blogging here.
