當SATA DVDRW 遇到「安全移除硬體」的 tray icon

由於舊的DVDRW死左, 所以近日在百忙中也買了部SATA DVDRW. 點知安了之後發覺經常有「安全移除硬體」的 tray icon的出現問題, 經SEARCH後,得到以下資訊:

移除 NFORCE Motherboard SATA 硬碟「安全移除硬體」的 tray icon 方法
1. 執行 regedit
2. 找到機碼 (電腦應該只有下面的其中一個）HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata
或
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvatabus
3. 新增一個 DWORD 值，名稱取名叫 DisableRemovable，值給 1

重開機，以後 SATA 硬碟就不會變成可以移除裝置了

Always On Top

唔知大家有冇試過在 "視窗" (windows xp)環境下開了多個程式後,佢地會你踏佢,佢踏你,互相重疊, 有時你可能好想有一兩個 "視窗" 永遠停在上層而唔會比其他程式遮住, 那麼我介紹大家用一個freeware免費軟件 "AlwaysOnTopMaker",就幫定手啦!

"AlwaysOnTopMaker"只係一個簡單到連介面都沒有的軟件. 執行的時候,只需double click "AlwaysOnTopMaker.exe"就可以. 想息了佢只雖在任何情況下同時按下 "ctrl-alt-q" 就得, 完全不需要install/uninstall.

啟動了 "AlwaysOnTopMaker" 之後, 你只需要click一下你想永遠停在上層的"視窗",然後同時按下 "ctrl-alt-t",那麼這個"視窗"就唔會比其他程式遮住,永遠停在上層. 當你想還原的時候,對著這個"視窗", 再次同時按下 "ctrl-alt-t"就會還原. ^^

認識我的朋友都知我喜歡攝影,而要拍攝到好的照片當然要有好的器材,如果錢唔係問題,那麼能否係拍攝的時候動用最好的器材,也許會是其中一種提升拍攝質素的方法.... 近日巧合地給我在網上找到這件好東西,又巧合地vivian需要運動減肥....幫我拓住佢,同我出去影相,相信會是一件雙得益章的活動呢....你說是嗎vivian ^^? 詳情Sigma APO 200 - 500 mm F2.8 lens (F2.8 勁!)

搵到寶, 唔洗2千蚊, 帶左5件名裨GORE-TEX戶外褸番屋企^^

話說昨前日同事"軍佬JAMES"失驚無神走過黎我個位倒問我佢型唔型,我本來想回身同佢嬉笑一番,不竟我也要為工作間的愉快氣氛作出一些貢獻.....點知當我一望到佢身上穿上的戶外風褸的時候,天呀!!!竟然係一件價值千多銀的超薄超輕防風防雨防水的GORE-TEX戶外風褸.

如果你感到難以致信,就代表你的知識同見識都太貧乏了,又或者代表你跟本吾知咩野係一件有內函的戶外衣服,其實平日你買幾百蚊的甚麼NIKE,ADDIDUS etc 戶外風褸事實上只是價值幾十蚊的普通衣料貨式,做開成衣的都明白你的錢只是賣了冇任何功能的品牌標誌........

甚麼叫GORE-TEX呢!其實GORETEX大慨可以分成四隻,你地可以到這裡學習一下為自己增值下....至於有幾貴,大家可以行街望下有這個標誌的衫就知...一定發現要千千聲.

講番JAMES單野,件戶外風褸除左輕到冇野講之外,一睇就看到所有拉鏈都用防水拉鏈,防水拉鏈嘅意思當然係防水啦,水滴在這種拉鏈上是不會滲入風褸裡面,大風大雨著左佢係戶外(行山的時候)都不會濕身,由於生產成本比較貴同有專利,而且要縫製這種拉鏈係要特別的車機,所以唔係一般成衣生產線有,所以有這種拉鏈的衫一般都要幾百紋.

再加上一般風褸都是由毛線縫製,縫隙會係滲水的主要地方,所以下大風大雨時就算穿了風褸你的內層衣服都會濕淋淋,所以高級的戶外風褸會有特別的SEALING METHOD,這種工序當然也價值不菲啦.

再者歐美名牌有名牌所堅持的剪裁,收腰,收臂,挺肩,再加上以上特徵的高科技材料的衫跟本假冒不來,識睇一眼就睇到,深明打工仔冇可能會千多銀買件風褸的我,當然立即上前打探一番,原來比JAMES發現到係觀塘一所工業大廈之內,有出口名牌OUTLET開倉(如果連OUTLET都唔知係乜,甘你注定貧者越貧,因為你連買野都未識買),其中出售的都是歐美出名名牌如 BERGHAUS, LANDS'END, PEAK PERFORMANCE, SIMMS etc...

於是當日我就嗱嗱聲同vivian走去觀塘探過究竟....結果我地就買左以下正野.

FOR KENNETH MOTHER:
BERGHAUS 女裝GORE-TEX PACLITE便服風褸 原價 2xxx 現價 3xx
BERGHAUS 女裝GORE-TEX 戶外風褸 原價 1xxx 現價 200

FOR KENNETH:
LANDSEND 男裝GORE-TEX SOFTSHELL 戶外大褸 原價 3xxx 現價 500
SIMMS 男裝GORE-TEX PACLITE 戶外風褸 原價 2xxx 現價 500

FOR VIVIAN:
PEAK PERFORMANCE
女裝GORE-TEX SOFTSHELL 戶外大褸 原價 2xxx 現價 500

結果再加上小小買野技巧,再攞個折扣,吾洗二千蚊買到價值八千幾蚊高質素GORETEX出口衣物...超值,再次多謝 JAMES ^^ 好介紹!

P.S. 另一位喜歡行山的同事MARTIN,識野嘅佢當知悉此事後,也於昨天放工後飛巴士,購物去也.

Mp3 Avi Pdf ....... 你們是否正為管理這些FILE而煩惱呢!

Mp3相信已經成為大家每日都會接觸到的電子FILE類別...不過當然先進的你,每天還可能享受着各式各樣的PDF / DOC / EXCEL 電子書,又或 CSO PSP 遊戲,又或 GBA,又或 NDS,又或 RMVB / AVI / MP4等的電視或電影節目.....不管你的FILE是來自BT(BitTorrent),又或者是自己壓制,相信總數量應該有數已百'激'(GIGABYTE),雖然DVD燒錄技術可以幫我地把這些FILE燒起......但如果要從多隻DVD中找出一首歌或一套戲...相信會是一件苦事.

現在我就為大家介紹一隻名為'Advance File Organizer'的file管理系統,它能了夠為你的FILE制造CATALOG,如果係MP3 FILE,它甚至可以讀取裡面的TAG(歌名,歌手等資訊),如果係RAR / ZIP等壓縮檔,它又可以不雖你親自解壓而為裡面的FILE / FOLDER制造CATALOG,到你要搵某個FILE時,只需要在'Advance File Organizer'中好像使用GOOGLE一樣地SEARCH就可以.....此軟件可以管理過萬隻DVD呢!

如何在PSP上玩由多過一隻CD組成的PS (PSX) GAME

首先希望家中發生大事的Ronald能夠及早平復同埋生活安好先,既然佢有興趣玩番 PSP 又成功升級到3.03OE+A',所以特別在此提供一個網址 那裡有一個很好的教程,一定能令你輕易地將PS (PSX) 的原裝CD或其ISO或BIN或IMG FILE 轉換到可以在PSP上行的EBOOT.PBP

至於功具 PSX2PSP v 0.7.1 可在這裡下載

不過就這樣轉載別人內容,實在對不起本BLOG的忠實讀者啦,所以我將教大家點樣去玩由多過一隻CD組成的PS (PSX) GAME 啦!

以下是我玩FF7轉第二隻碟時所用既方法..

STEP:
1) 當你用PSX2PSP轉FF7 DISC 2既 IMG/ISO/BIN file 既時候, 要set個id code變都同DISC 1既一樣. 至於更改及查看DISC 1嘅eboot.pbp的id code,都可以用psx2psp v 0.7/0.6 的"GAME ID" 一欄看到.

2) 由於所有PSP的SAVE檔都是認呢個"game id",所以大家只要將之後轉既碟2，碟3同碟4個id全部都改成用一樣的"game id"就可以.

3) 然後當係PSP上面玩PS(PSX) GAME要換碟的時候,只要在離開DISK 1的pbp file前先SAVE一下,然後離開遊戲,再在PSP上進入STEP 1所做的DISK2 的 PBP FILE,進入後你可以於遊戲中選擇LOAD番STEP 3的那個SAVE檔,那麼就可以繼續玩啦!!!

Final Fantasy VII-PSP Detail

iPhone 強勢登陸, 不過我有一個希望........

http://www.apple.com/iphone/phone/

希望 iPhone可以貴啲,唔好cheap都啲學生哥又帶,阿叔又帶,串晒耳啲旺角死靚仔又帶,話自己好潮但又腹無墨水的年輕人又帶,不竟買得iPhone就係想同呢啲人有着一些分別吧!

魔渡眾生......黑暗 亞歷山大 進一步釋出 3.03OE-A' Firmware...

不久前我才將部PSP up上 3.02OE+B 的我，正在如痴如狂地享受着 '便利時代2' ， 'Thunder force V' 以及 ' FF7' 的我， 估不到短短幾日之後嘅今天，又要面對來自黑暗 (DARK ALEXANDER)的誘惑 ....... 今次係完成度更高的 3.03OE+A' for PSP， A 字頭上那一點是代表住 3.03OE+A 進化到 3.03OE+A2， 之後可能還有 3.03OE+A'' 呢!

不過興奮歸興奮，入魔也要一步步的， 3.02OE+B 需先升做 3.03OE+A 再升上3.03OE+A' ........行錯一步立即變磚 (BRICK)

升級3.03OE+A & 3.03OE+A'方法

===3.03 OE-A改動處===
- 由 Firmware 3.02 更新至 3.03
- 支援 PSX 遊戲壓縮 (ISO)
- 支援部分 3.02 OE 不支援的 PSX 遊戲 (部分修訂遊戲)
- 支援 document.dat (PSX 遊戲說明書)
- 修正 regarding free 的一個BUG， 現在應該可用了
- 修正一些普通的BUG
- 修正一些會引致 韓/中/台/星 PSP restore default settings 時會可能會變磚的 BUG 為避免這情況，region fake 為 disabled 時，會偽裝成 japan 因某些不明原因，韓版的偽裝已由 region fake 移除
- 加入 澳/紐/俄 到 region fake 中

Oh! My lovely PSP, You are my FANTASY.

就係昨日晚上,戰戰兢兢的我,把得來不易的1.5 frimware 板的PSP用了不到30分鐘的時間再加上一點衝動同魯莽........終於成功把我的PSP UPGRADE啦, 現在可以係任何時間地點都玩到PLAYSTATION (PS ONE), SFC, SEGA 5th GENERATION, GBA, PSP, GAME GEAR等多種家庭遊戲平台下的不同遊戲巨作,冇錯係包括PLAYSTATION (PS ONE)的遊戲呀! 想當年冇時間坐係屋企玩爆嘅GAME...現在終於可以玩啦....我的 FINAL FANTASY VII, 我的'惡魔城月下之舞曲', 我的 BIOHAZARD....天呀!
宜家部PSP唔洗再停留係1.5有限的功能上,唔洗再浪費30%嘅電力同CPU去模擬(devhook)新板的PSP 2.80 firmware....嗰種速度同多左嘅電力..............我黎啦!!!!!!

P.S. 1)網名 Dark_Alexander (DA) 的 PSP HACKER 於 2006年的聖誕節向世人發報了他所重寫的PSP驅動核心 (3.02OE+B),作為一個IT人,我對佢這種功力,同無言付出,實在敬佩!

Pocket PC...OUT 啦. Bill Gates 話UMPC 先之係勁!! PART II

Before Answering the question of my friend, you can take a look on the above movie which shows you many High Tech Device in CeBit exposure, but after half of it, Samsung Q1 has become the main character. Then you will know how strong is it and what is its influence. (however the presides does not thing it is billiant enough><) In the mean time, i just find that Singapore also produce similiar product but with VIA-cpu.

One of my friend (Hi, Michael! Are you here?^^) ask me why choose Samsung Q1. In order to explain this, i have listed out the detail information at bottom of these post.

In short, one of the reason is not out of the consideration of Price to Performance ratio. Q1 only sells at $9980, but all the others over $10000, for sony at least $12XXX. Most impressive thing is Samsung Hong Kong has doing the promotion schema on Q1, if you buy Samsung Q1 now, you will freely get the 6-cell battery for this UMPC. Both of the cell have power indicator lamp. it is easy to know how much electricity left in the cell. But 6-cell battery means what? haha... means you can use at least 5hr without charging in portable manner. It also means by using these two cells alternatively, you can use it for 7.5hr a day.

After plug this larger battery into Samsung Q1, it still lighter than the Asus R2H (below 820 grams). And this battery is worth $12XX. Wa! means you get $1XXX discount and additional play time for this UMPC.

Another concern is the screen size. Althought SONY's UMPCs only weight 520g / 480g, but the screen is too small, only has 4.5" but Samsung Q1 and Asus R2H has 7" LCD. I have use a ruler to meassure the size of button of windows in SONY UMPC, which only in 3mm. You are not hardly to imagine how difficult and inconfortable to click accurately on this button when traveling on a car or read the text in very small fonts for long time.

Nowadays many Digital Cameras (DSLR or DC) mainly use compact flash as data media. So Asus R2H only offer SD card slot is not enough for a people who take photo often. Now I can use Q1 and its built-in CF slot to share and view the photo just after i take photo from DC (difficult to do that on small screen like SONY one) with my friend when i am traveling. if you really need SD card slot, there is a CF to SD card adaptor which only worth $150. By the way in general CF device (CF GPS or CF GSM device) is much cheaper than SDIO device.

In common sense, computer can run more smoothly when there exist more RAM, such improvement is more obvious than use a slightly faster CPU. After study all UMPC's specfications only Samsung can use 1GB RAM. And the RAM is cheap and only cost $700, but the evil SONY not allow user to add additional RAM to their UMPC, so if you buy 512MB ram Sony UMPC, you will no method to tune your UMPC when you found that the ram is not enough.

Finally we go to compare the special offer over all the UMPCs. SONY offer GPS (Global Positioning System) / GPRS and finger print recognization. ASUS offer GPS and finger print recognization too. But in my point of view both of them is seldom use and if i need GPS i can buy a CF GPS which only worth $400. Then what Samsung offer? She offer a very useful thumb size usb connecting cable, which enable you connect between any two computers (not just UMPC) without setup a complicated network sharing or anything else. You just need to plug, then it will play. Files can be show in normal windows explorer on both connected computers. You may ask no need install driver for it? Answer is amazing. Its driver is self-contained. After you plug it to any computer, then it will install the driver to that computer when use it. No need to pre-install anything.......... Fansy!!!and Convenient!!! it is useful even if you have no UMPC, but you got a notebook)

If only consider the specification, most of people will choose Asus R2H. But due to the backgroud running software for R2H GPS and its finger print device, which make Asus R2H slower and faster exhaust its battery. If you want it run faster, but it only allow 768MB RAM which make it difficult to get rid of the poor performance by adding additional RAM.

So, Samsung Q1 offer me a expansibility, long life battery, comfortable reading manner, light weighted mobile windows XP working environment.

If you are a TV gamer then please sit steadily, you will soon be shocked by Samsung Q1's performance on gaming and the fantasy that it can bring to our future.

潮流玩意! 喪激超好玩搖控直昇機!!! 之 二 再黎癲過

If you have followed my blog for a moment, then you will be familiar with the lovely ''Picoo Z' helicopter( only sell at 247 dollars, if use EPS then it will be cost 236 dollars only). Here is the trailor of the 'Picoo Z' Helicopter, which can show you how steady of this small amazing thing.

And the following two movies will show you what is the different of the respond between a DOG!! and a CAT!! when they meet this crazy stuff. Enjoy it ^^

Pocket PC...OUT 啦. Bill Gates 話UMPC 先之係勁!! PART I

其實呢單料可以話係舊料，事關主角UMPC Samsung Q1大約在上個星期前已由SAMSUNG送到VLINKUP.COM的編輯部，首先大家可能連UMPC都未知係咩，甘就請大家到Bill叔叔處備下課同睇下以片段先啦!

由於世界每日進步，所以作為VLINKUP.COM總編嘅Kenneth係過去２年每日都會用上班的時間在車內透過Pocket PC(PPC) v51x 觀看 eBook 或 Discovery Channel 的movie節目不斷學習(之前當然係攞住本真書啦)，相信亦有不少人用同樣方法把PPC作PMP式的消閑之用。過程中雖然體會到v51x的強大(內置16MB顯示核心及640 X 480 VGA的顯象能力)不過依然解決不了一個根本問題。就是礙於PDA同DESKTOP OS的不同，導致很多file都不能在PDA有理想的表現或根本性的不能執行，例如PDF/CHM ebook file 及 RMVB MOVIE file。另外細小的LCD也令人在閱讀後變得非常疲累。

基於Go everywhere, Do everywhere原因，UMPC 就應運以生， 由於UMPC 行的是WINDOWS XP TABLET 2005所以所有DESKTOP 行到的UMPC 也都行到. 7寸的LCD等同一本正常記事簿的大小，經多日書寫閱讀之後簡直同手執書本冇分別， 而且重量仲輕過一本400頁的I.T. / FINANCE TECHNICAL BOOK。 的確UMPC相對於NOTEBOOK COMPUTER螢幕比較小、電池壽命也一直備受質疑，但要怎麼說呢?針對平板(TABLET PC or NOTEBOOK)電腦的使用情境，如相片分享/管理，Presentation，教育，學習等等，其實輕巧加上有手寫才是最重要的特色，有3個鍾的full loading電量，再加上有USB及Monitor Output，在各方面UMPC佔有絕對的發展優勢。

雖然市場上己有手寫觸碰平幕的TABLET PC，不過價錢起碼高過NOTEBOOK PC兩成，而UMPC正正有平過TABLET PC，及差不多12寸小型NOTEBOOK的performance的優點，最重要係更輕，所以正正切合經常利用上班下班時間來學習或娛樂的人的需要。有人可能會話UMPC只係IT人的新興玩意唔實際，此類人可以話OUT到上心口，以下正正係市面有售或代售的UMPC:
ASUS R2H
SONY Vaio UX series
SONY Vaio U series
Samsung Q1

等 ....... 等 ......... 等 ......... 等

甘點解係云云UMPC中我會選擇SAMSUNG Q1，以下圖片就係提示,迷底下集公布^^

潮流玩意! 喪激超好玩搖控直昇機!!!

星期六同VIVIAN出去行街街，本來諗住睇完戲之後，'我望下佢，佢望下我'SWEET SWEET咁過番日，點知比'軒爸'一注义中套'死亡魔法'落左畫，於是唯有揀左套由奇雲高士拿做嘅《驚濤搶救》啦.....冇咩祈望咁入場.....點知我同VIVIAN都喊濕左三四張紙巾，畫面震撼之餘，奇雲高士拿交足貨，劇情雖然估到但唔勉強，有機會再同大家講下。

其實一日之內有一次驚喜已經好難得，點知睇完套有直昇機嘅戲，入左銅鑼灣皇室堡商場行左一陣竟然差點比架直昇機擊中....唔係發夢..就係以下介紹的直昇機'Picoo Z'.由我遇到佢的一剎那，我眼都金晒，我已經知道佢係我等左好耐嘅野，係由小學開始甘耐，佢代表一個夢，一個好多小朋友的飛天夢。係店員熟練的操縱之下,低飛,轉彎,都表現出佢嘅輕型同靈活,當然仲有'襟'跌啦。

本來我個心都重係十五十六....但真係唔買唔舒服，因為佢只售247元用EPS仲有折...加上佢發泡膠機身'襟'跌，價錢又唔貴，所以精明嘅Vivian都冇阻止我，於是我立即數'籠'帶佢番屋企啦...遲啲練熟左再表現比大家睇啦! ^^宜家睇住我由某個無關係的海外網站借來的示範DEMO先啦!
