Windows 7 - Service Pack 1

Just as Singapore is having its election (another cycle has come to passed), Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is also launched.

It just feels so sick (yes, sick) that they cannot call it another name but Service Pack 1. (yes, as sick as that lump in my throat, if you know what I mean).

Here was what I did:

I went to install it, a good 5 minutes and the restart cleared my MSN history and all that I was doing before the restart. And I got this screen after all the dust settled themselves.

Click on the pictures to view their normal size

And this came up. Yes, my taskbar floats at the top of my screen so that it is easy for me to see what time it is (I don't have a watch and if you want to give me one, please do donate to me at my Support page. )

Then It (by "it" I mean Windows 7) tells me that the installation is successful:

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB976932)
Installation date: 2/24/2011 11:07PM
You may need to restart your computer for this update to take effect.
Installation status: Successful
Update type: Important
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 is a recommended collection of updates and improvements to Windows that are combined into a single installable update. The service pack can help make your computer safer and more reliable. A typical installation will take about 30 minutes to complete, and you will have to restart your computer about halfway through the process.
More information:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=206784

Please do this update!

It will really take a good half an hour to complete the whole thing.
Also, do ignore some of the stupid stuff (like Silverlight or bitlocker updates) if you really do not need it. But do this first. This IS important!!!

Internet 2011

I read with interest the article on The Secret behind Searches or something like that. This article was published in the Today Paper on 14 February 2011.

As Henry Tam, SmartBrief's chief product officer, puts it: there are plenty of great ideas out there, it all comes down to execution.

It is easy for any one to give ideas but sometimes, one may be lost in the mire of ideas or simply get too carried away with the micro of things. Or one somehow loses focus of the end point.

My point is, there maybe a million ways to thwart Google's god-like search engine's clutches. Who knows, there maybe more than a few ways to be listed in the top searches, other than paying good money (to Google) for it. 

The end result is simply relevance.

Imagine I am going through my pile of clothes, looking for my pink scarf that will match my pink heels. The first thing that catches my attention is a pink lacy bra. I may hold it in my hands for a few second while deciding if I should wear it, but I do want to continue my search for my pink scarf. Another pink item turns out, this time a pink night gown, a no-no for going out. And my search continues.

How relevant are the bra and night gown? Enough to be the top items that comes up, but they are not what I wanted.

Or, in another scenerio, my mother happens to be searching in the room next door. Can u say that we are looking for the same item since the time zone is the same? Oh, I do not want to bring that pink apple she just dug out of the fridge!

Will Google be able to sieve out who they can trust? I certainly hope they can, because I trust them.

Clouds Theme (Aero) - Chrome Web Store

Just changed my theme for my Chrome and this is so awesome. You should use it too!

Click on the picture to see an enlarged view (so that you can see it more CLEARLY ;p)

I am using this Clouds Theme (AERO) from the Chrome Web Store.

Well you can see the arrow that I pointed down. it is actually the status bar.
This is important to me and for the so-many-themes I have tried, it was really difficult to see the status or the link which my cursor hovers over.

Plus being an ESFP, I really want something that is dynamic!

I normally want a preview of where the link will lead me to, before I open them. I still do this despite my anti-virus protection (read my post on virus protection here). I am using Vipre.

Entanglement by Gopherwood Studios

This is fun!

When I open Chrome today ( to go to Facebook), I saw these 3 new games on my tab.

Click on the pictures to see them in normal sizes

Then I clicked on Entanglement and it seems like a game. There are no instructions and I just clicked anyhow.

After a few tries, I got 22 and I decided to submit it. I am this Cheerful Bewildered Flower ;p
See the top scores! WoW!

Did a search on entanglement and found these:

  

















I am going to try the few other games next.

How to open files faster

I did this screen shot in 2010 but just decided to pull it out of my storage ;p

Well if you want to know how to open files faster, here is a tip for you. Use only 1 click instead of 2 clicks to open. Sometimes you know, the mouse just doesn't click properly.

And you want to make it faster too.

Well, here is the trick.

Step 1: Open Window Explorer (Short cut is Windows + E)
Step 2: Click on Tools
Step 3: Click on Folder Options
Step 4: Select 'Single-click to open an item (point to select)'

("Underline icon titles only when I point at them" will be automatically selected)

Step 5: Click "OK"

Windows Live Essentials 2011

I read that you can update your status via MSN and Facebook at the same time!

Saw this link for Windows Live Messenger on Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=30713015083 ) and I decided to go search for the truth!

And yes, MSN confirmed it (read it here) and I think that I should go download the latest version (Windows Live Essentials 2011) and check if it is compatible with my Windows 7.

Will update more!

Windows Live Essentials 2011 Screenshots

I was waiting so anxiously for the status updates to go to Facebook but it didn't!

Anyway here are the screens you will see when you have the new application installed:

I was prompted to connect to 3 services: FaceBook, MySpace or LinkedIn

Obviously I went for FaceBook... And clicked the "Connect with Facebook"

Then I was asked to put in my Facebook log-in email and password...

It then told me what are the things that MSN is asking for? The usual stuff actually

And then, everything went black! For a good 10 second...

The screen then suddenly notified me that the FaceBook connection is done! (I was thinking, great, now I can share my MSN status to Facebook)

As you can see the new MSN (in orange) is really cool, it lets you see the status besides the usual preview. As you can see, the old MSN (in pink) is still locked onto my bar.

Then the welcome message comes...

The new MSN is really glaring! it lets you see the Facebook Updates (circled in orange) on top of the usual stuff of your friend's MSN activities...

Even chats appear different... Of course, why would they do it so good that you don't have to upgrade later?

And then the pictures loaded from Facebook, (after I think 2minutes?)

And you can also see the same thing on the MSN webpage (when you actually log in to the msn.com page)

I am still waiting for my MSN status update to go to FaceBook...

MSN allows you to call now!

I have been amazed at how fast the market has been moving... Indeed in competitive Singapore, things gotta move fast!

Well, in the world of international voice calls, it seems that the pace is not slow either!

MSN now offers free calls too!
I haven't tried it yet because I don't have a video camera but maybe I will just get one to enjoy this free call!

:)

Hope this works out for you!

Google Phone Call

Wow this is impressive!

Google lets you make free phone call...

Took a printscreen from my Darling No 1's Google account... and edited the screenshot.

As you can see, he made the call and I took the screen shot at 2.54 minutes. (He was using FireFox)

The call connected almost instantly and what is most amazing, is that you only need to download a simple application. No long waiting time and it is really hassle free! And it works for Chrome too!

Another one up!

Star Hub

Had another week passed me by without a blog update from me.
Was unable to write much because of my episodes with Starhub.
Apparently, it was their fault. Two months ago when I called them, the staff pushed it to my router. They got me to connect my pc directly to the modem and also to restart the modem when starting a new connection.
It worked for that few hours of direct connection and I couldn't prove it was the network at fault. I let it rest and accepted reluctantly that maybe it was my router. But the staff did not offer me any reason why my router was working all along and just decided to go on strike! They say it is faulty due to wear and tear but I am not buying it!

This post is written on 10 June and posted only today (12 June).

MSN File Sending Progress

My Darling No 1 sent me three photos... and I just realised that the MSN shows the percentage of the files during the sending (aka progress).

Of course, my main intention is to show the picture that he was sending me. This picture was taken when I was cleaning my Darling No 1's cupboard. The Naughty Boy and Naughty Girl were supervising my cleaning! I thought to let them have a go at the cupboard. So I put them into the cupboard to check if it is clean enough!

Darling No 2 got bored and yawned while I took the photograph. Darling No 3 looked ready to jump off the shelf (but on hindsight, she would never dare!) and I quickly put them on the ground.

Actually if my memory serves me correctly, Darling No 1 actually closed the cupboard door! None of them made any sound! It really tickled both of us!

Darling No 1 commented how nice Darling No 2's furnishing were... Just over 3 years ago! Okay okay, I did not take care of them as well as I would like to but I am already doing my best, squeezing what little time I have at home now for them... Yeah, it's late and I need to grab some sleep! Or I would be late for work tomorrow (these 3 days we are told to report to work 1/2hr earlier as we are in the midst of being assessed by the EduTrust assessors, more of that later!)

Goodnight!
