Microsoft Outlook not so smart after all…
For those who are using Nokia’s smartphones, the only programs that your mobilephone synchronize with are Microsoft Outlook or Windows Address Book. Now, I’m talking about those who are using Windows operating system. I’m not too sure about Mac users though. And I bet you are synchronizing your contact list, to do list and etc to the Microsoft Outlook instead of the Address Book..
However, I don’t really like the fact that Microsoft Outlook messes up my contact list. And ironically, I, for one, synchronize all my stuffs to Microsoft Outlook. Well, I’m sort of forced to use it or I’ll be in deep pile of shit near future.
For example of a contact name with two mobilephone numbers and two landline numbers. Upon synchronizing it, you could only view one of each categories in Microsoft Outlook. It is annoying because you will face problems in future when you want to synchro back to your phone, if let’s say your mobilephone reset back to factory settings. So, theoretically, you will lose a handful of contact numbers from a single contact name.
The only way to solve this problem, according to my mate, is that you have to put all those numbers in different categories. Sucky, ain’t it. And the worst thing I have heard is that this problem has been longing since the introduction of Symbian OS.
So, does anybody have a better solution??

A ‘Memory’ Day
I always felt the slowness in my old laptop. It is slow when I launch Adobe Lightroom. It is slow when I am playing Football Manager 2008 while listening to iTunes. It is slow when I am surfing using Firefox while playing Football Manager 2008. Practically, it is so slow that I have the time to do non-computer related things while waiting for a program to launch. Well, I couldn’t put a blame on the age of the computer but to curse on the amount of RAM it has in the laptop. It makes me wonder how patience was I running the laptop on 512MB for over 3 years. So, that’s it. Enough is enough. I need more speed!!
So, over the weekend, I decided to splash out some hard earned cash to get 1GB RAM memory for my old laptop from Lowyat Plaza. But having said my main intention of going to Lowyat, carrying extra cash or credit card always spells extra purchases. This is due the fact that things seem relatively cheaper especially memory cards.
Memory cards!! Sorry.. No picture of Kingston RAM.
I couldn’t believe it when I was told that SanDisk 8GB microSDHC only cost RM205. It is even cheaper than my Kingston 1GB DDR333 RAM which cost about RM269. So, I decided to splash more cash to purchase that microSDHC.

Then, my mum wanted a thumbdrive for her own use. Hence, I got a SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Micro for her which cost RM65. I chose this one because it does not have cap and hence, less hassle.

Once the momentum is there (or such I say temptation), I casually asked the price for SanDisk 4GB Extreme III CompactFlash card for my digital camera. The salesman quoted RM269 for it. Damn.. I was so tempted to get it but come to think about it, what’s the point of getting another CF card when I could not even fill up my 2GB CompactFlash during photo shooting. I am not shooting RAW format (not yet) nor my files are high quality format. So, I scraped that plan and put it back into my ‘wishlist’ again.
After making my payment and everything, I left the building without looking back as I know I will spend more and more if I stay in there longer.
Total damage done : RM533 + RM10 (surcharge for credit card)
There goes my ang pow money :(
