Someone is watching you in Facebook

The overwhelming success of Facebook in recent year has made…

Oh, hold on darling, I’m checking your Facebook.

Wait, let me check what you are on first at Facebook before I can start talking to you verbally.

Oh ya, that one! OK, I will reply you in Facebook (rather than replying immediately, verbally!).

It’s a serious contender of what made Twitter that we know today. Status update! Now that Facebook has gone mobilized enabling greater audience approach, it has, indeed, becoming part of our daily life.

Just remember, the Internet does NOT have the DELETE button

There’s one story I would like to share:-

Once upon a day long long time ago (that’s how story telling always begin,right?), Melinda (oh yes, we need to give a name) got recruited into a magazine company for her internship. Out of good deeds wanting to form better alliance and relationship with her new company friends, she added her boss (and some other) to her Facebook. Nice girl!

Then, magic happens!

She falls sick and got herself MC for a week. She is excused from her daily torture routine a week. Then, she go and update her Facebook status. It says “Going to Singapore for holiday for a week yay!!!”

Kaboom! She’s dismissed.

LensDB is now mylensdb.com

After some serious thoughts, we have decided to get LensDB a prime address, a dotcom. Welcome to mylensdb.com.

Oh yes, we will rename it to myLensDB. We believe that this should be able to reflect the project much more better. my may stands for Malaysia or simple ‘my’, myself.

With it’s own address now, mylensDB is set to get much more exposure in the giant spider net and have more room for expansion. From now on, all the development would continue on there.

Thanks for your support all the while. Appreciate your feedback and comments. Let’s make this big!

Sincerely,

Cannot read Chinese words in games/programs

The problem: I need to surf to a website that is in Traditional Chinese and when I open it. Hoola~

The reason: Computer is not set to read non-Unicode language like Traditional Chinese. You can view yours at Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Advance > Language for non-Unicode Programs

The solution: There are number of solutions in actual facts but let’s stick to 2 simple ones. Read more

Intoducing Malaysia LensDB

Canon EFS 10-22mm

There are lots of channels in getting a good deal in buying new camera equipments, particularly lenses. We will often check the online store like Shashinki and Yamiya, this, being the most convenient and fastest way. There is also times when we might venture into local photography forums like PhotoMalaysia or Shutter Asia to see if the fellow forum-ers have obtained any good deal in the local camera stores. Last but not least we may want to walk-in to our favorite camera store to get a quote too.

As there are many channels involved. We believe that we can speed up the process and helping each other in getting the best deal possible.

With this, I would like to announce the official launch of LensDB. www.hugolim.com/lensdb

How it works? It works with your help. You can log into the website anytime to see and update new prices if you have found any good deal in town. No registration is needed thus we highly encourage you to contribute to build up our database here. The interface is pretty simple, head on and tell us how you think and together we will make it a better one.

There’s more features planned and development is still on-going as the project grows. Hang on there!

Note: This project is totally funded through my own money and through the advertisements seen in this website and is NOT sponsored by any retailer.

PS: I know that the name LensDB clashes with a .nl site but we will see if we need to change the name to reflect this project better. Thanks!
