More makan!

Just had lunch with the nurses as par of the Raya and Deepavali celebrations. The main event for me was the noodles that my colleague Habibah prepared. Well, I didn't know that she can cook. Might as well I suppose as she is getting married next year. LOL!

P1 Day 1, and the new iMac news!


091021.1, originally uploaded by Haris Abdul Rahman.

It has clearly passed the test and even Anita was impressed. With my Mac, I can watch YouTube in HD without a hitch. Also heard today that Apple just announced the release of the new iMac line. The flagship model now support 27 inch display with resolution of 2560x1440 in 16:9 ratio! That is just insane. But that not just it. It ships with i7 Nahalem chip, but my personal favourite, wireless keyboard and mouse ... and the mouse has multitouch technology a la iPhone! M jaw just dropped!

When I bought my iMac back in 2005, the choices were between 15 and 17 inch models. How time have moved! They also released a new MacBook line and from the great vine, I heard that they might be replacing the MacBook Pro line in time for Christmas as well. Well, my MacBook Pro is only 2 years old, and my iMac 4. We know which one needs an upgrade!

Finally taking the plunge

Dinner at IKANOThe lack of broadband at our Taman Cemerlang house is really driving me nuts now that we are planning to spend more time there. I tried tethering my E71 but the speed is just too inconsistent and I just cannot get much done. This evening, we went out to IKANO for dinner and just a spot of fresh air if you can call it that. I then had a chat with one of the lady at the P1 Wimax booth, just chatting about how good the connection is and stuff like that. She was actually very informative and described all the comparisons and what to expect. There was also an offer going on that if you are a Streamyx user, you can get 3 months off the fees to try out the P1. I thought, why not. The modem costs RM100 complete with the wifi base station.

Arrived home. Set everything up. In 3 minutes, I'm online, at 150Kb/sec. Amazing. No connection issue using my Mac at all. No interruption in connection. It's been great so far. I'll let you know if it's otherwise.

Cake time!

After the long round this morning and getting the procedures sorted out, I needed some juice. Luckily it's Depavali and one of the Professor was nice enough to bring us cake. Yummy!
