If Only I Had It

Well the weekend is coming up and I was thinking of doing some home chores. One of the things that I have been putting off for quite a while is trying to get the dirty wooden deck by the side of my house to look as though it is brand new. The deck has been there since I bought the house. And truthfully although I think it is nice but it is now quite an eye sore.

I have had cleaning companies to come and have a look at how they could help me. Although they have so many types of products that they could use but the pricing has always been an issue until today. In my local hardware store I found many types of products and I did purchase one of them which looks like it could be the easiest one to use with the best results. To my dismay I tried using it on a small part of the deck but the results were nowhere close to what it is supposed to look like.

I ended up searching for products on the internet. I used keyworkds such as deck cleaners and even deck stains and I searched through it all until I came to a website that showed me something that I have been looking for since I wanted to start on this project. As simple as DIY could be this is the best product so far.

Now cleaning and then staining my deck should be a work that I could finish within one day and it would look as though it is brand new. I have included a photo of how my deck used to look and how it looks after just trying to use this product on a small part of it. If you would like to know more about this product I would suggest you go ahead and use the links that I have provided.

This product is really a jewel in the nile and you should be happy using it. So go ahead and try it for your own usage and see how good it actually is. If you look carefully you could see my dogs feet right at the top. After writing the company an email with the results I got from their product they are so happy that they are even using my photo and a small testament of mine to show how good their product is.

In recent times life has not been treating me well. I was once a millionaire with more than 4 properties of very high nett worth value. I had 3 cars , one sport and one luxury car and one family car, plasma tv’s , the latest in technology gadgets and other hardcore boys toys.  But in the past 5 months I have lost nearly everything even my job. It is very hard to live on but one has to live on. Now blogging is my life. Earning not more than only USD 500 a month it is still quite difficult to live. But I dont have a choice.

Even so after selling whatever I have it is still not enough to pay my loans and my other debts. How am I supposed to live debt free with all these problems. Making sure I can livem each month after month is not easy at all. Making sure that bills are paid and there is still enough for food.

The easiest and fastest way to make sure that I am able to live is surely to consolidate my finances and make sure that the payments will be lesser than what I am paying now. Bill consolidation is surely the easiest and best way out in this situation. And getting a job is the second thing that I must do. Although I have started to earn money by blogging but it wont be enough to live life as what it used to be. I am not looking to making millions anymore but just to live a simple life.

When you choose to use a company to help you consolidate your debts you should always choose one which is known by the banks and well used by the public. This is to make sure that when you receive your credit counselling it should be of good use and with experienced counselling. Such companies do exist. Most of them are government related and some dont even charge you for the services as it is a public awareness and public service. You will receive complete analysis of your income, debt and spending habits. The consolidator will act as a counselor in this situation and develop a plan of specific actions and behaviors which will result in long-term financial health. If you are totally honest during this process, you will be able to see exactly how you got into financial distress and what changes need to be made in your spending. Further, if you faithfully follow the recommendations of your consolidator, you will live a much more secure and stress-free life. Most important, the non-profit bill consolidator looks at the total picture. His priority is not merely to solve the current issue but to provide long-term permanent prevention. The for-profit consolidator may not be as concerned with this crucial prevention phase.

The main idea of consolidating your bills is to make sure that you understand that life continues on for everyone and you would have to buff up and live on. There are always bad times but there are also people who have more problems than you. The easy way out is not an option. I know I have tried it to no success.

It has been quite a while now that I have actually really used a fax machine. All my faxes comes through my PC. There are so many ways of doing this. But here is the latest.

These days we all do our work on our computers. All documents are in the form of soft copy. But when coming to faxing the documents.It’s somehow pretty inconvenient especially for geeks like us who hate papers being scatted around. But we surely have to admit that not everyone in the society has adopted online services such as emails, e-fax, web etc. There is really no choice, in order to suit the other group of people who’re still in the dark side of Information Technology, we’ll have to print the documents in hard copy and fax over using a fax machine.

Here comes the USB digital fax, which is a device that you just hook it up to your computer’s USB port. And whatever documents that you’ve finished typing, and ready to fax, then you can just fax it over using this USB digital fax, without needing to print the document on paper. The USB digital fax comes with bundled software applications to manage your faxes too. It turns your computer into a completely paperless fax machine, which you can receive and send fax through it without any hassle.

As shown in the diagram above, the USB digital fax comes with a phone jack port, which allows you to hook it up to a fixed telephone line. And then you hook the device to your computer’s USB port.

Cosmic rays are those perky particles blasting from outer space through the atmosphere of the Earth. And they’re claimed to be the major contributor to cause instability within electronic devices that built with super tiny chips.

Now, Intel has patented the concept to build an on-chip detector of the cosmic rays. Hoping making use the cosmic detector on electronic gadgets will help to reduce the interference that cosmic rays bring to electronic components.

Having the cosmic ray detector on board, we’ll have get to have electronic devices with better stability. In fact, this step is a great move by Intel to tackle the cosmic ray interference that adds many errors of precision in today’s electronic devices.

The little cube shown to you here is known as the Iona Cube, which is actually a compact cube packed with Internet radio function. The Iona Cube is equipped with WiFi connectivity which lets you hook up to any WiFi network to receive Internet radio. The gadget is a concept design of Cambridge consultants, which the intention is to clam the Internet radio function into a simple little cube with low-cost design. And it allows users to access up to 10,000 Internet radio stations.

Operating the radio such as switching programme channels is easy, which you just have turn the Iona Cube onto one of its four sides to change to the pre-programed radio station. The fifth side is where the speaker is mounted and the sixth side is for you to turn on or off this radio cube.

The Iona Cube gives the complete different experience from operating traditional radios which mostly deal with “push buttons”. This cube definitely simplifies the way that users select Internet radio stations. And the cube also allows customization via its web interface. The cube definitely eliminates the hassle as seen in traditional Internet radio which users have to scroll endless list of stations. So, using this cube, they’ll just simply flip it. The entire design of this radio cube is focused on the simplicity, so it ain’t even come with a volume button. But no worry, you’ll still be able to adjust its volume by twisting the cube to the right to increase the volume. And twisting to the left to decrease it.

Firstly this is how it looks from the ad then the bottom is how it actually looks from the back of it.

Sarotech’s new NAS (Network Attached Storage) product - the WIZPLAT NAS-20 is nothing unusual with its features compared to any other average NAS. The NAS-20 comes loaded with various common network services including FTP, SAMBA Server, Printer Server etc, which mostly can be found on other NAS products too.

But the little uniqueness that will pull little of your attention is its design. The NAS-20 is designed like a carrying bag with two handles on top. Meaning that you can freely carry around anywhere in your home. While carrying this on the road, no one would have noticed that you’re actually carrying a storage that stores most of your very important and highly confidential data.

This 2-bay NAS box supports a pair of SATA disks giving you a maximum of storage at 2TB. And it supports Gigabit Ethernet to give you high speed transfer of data at your playground. It features a pair of USB jacks. Other than the few network services mentioned before, it also has built-in iTunes and even a BitTorrent server which will replace your home PC to take on the overly tiring task of your 7 x 24 downloading scheme. The product is still unclear with its price and availability.

There was a time when I was so crazy into PC mods that I even tried to make my own PC faster, cooler, game savvy and even look better. But this is one way cool heatsink PC mod.

Maybe some paranoids who have always been worried about one day their PCs would get extremely hot and it’d burn in flame so they’ve come out with a special case mod design - a PC case that encases your computer in cooling heat sinks. Having this PC case to frame all the computer components in it, surely lets all the heat escape in the fastest and easiest way.

I have always been a fan of the Philips home theatre system. I have been buying Philips electrical system in nearly all my home appliances. From the kitchen all the way to bedroom stuff. I recently bought the Philips 47″ full HD LCD TV which is a very new model here in Malaysia. But not even 4 months down the road and now the latest system gives me a hard on. With my LCD TV I also bought the Cineos HTS 8100 which at the time was the best in a box home theatre system but now lets have a look .

Home theaters in a box are not for everyone — most people we know prefer to assemble their entertainment systems piecemeal — but if you’re in the market for such a product, then Philips is offering a fairly stylish new HDMI-equipped system with convenient wireless rear speakers that may be right up your alley. The Cineos HTS9800W is a 6.1-channel package (three 125-watt fronts, three rears, and a 150-watt subwoofer) with a slimline, upscaling DVD player that supports DVD+/-R discs, DivX-encoded video, and MP3 CDs, along with all those Super Audio CDs that we’re sure you’ve been collecting over the years. Not a bad setup, especially for your bedroom or guest house, and it’s available now for around $650.

The battle between LCD and plasma for domination of your media room may have just ended. LG.Philips has unveiled what they’re billing as the world’s largest LCD display, a 100-inch panel with a 5ms refresh, 3000:1 contrast ratio and 180 degree viewing angle. The new display bests the previous size leader, Samsung’s 82-incher, and is just three inches smaller than the largest plasma display, Panasonic’s 103-inch prototype. While none of these megascreens are going to show up in stores any time soon, they’re going to continue to put the squeeze on plasma displays, which are already hurting from a price perspective, as LCD prices continue to decline.

 This is surely the gadget for the fitness concious people. The healthy diets and 1 hour jogging trip in itself wont work. But with this phone in hand you would know what is actually happening. 

As far as I know Adidas is well known in producing sport wear or fitness products. What does Adidas have to do with mobile phone? Of course, these days, it wouldn’t be a surprise those specializing in fashion or sport wear products are venturing into cell phone business too. So, now Adidas and Samsung somehow have teamed up to produce cell phones. And their first product is known as miCoach (F110), which is a fitness-centered cell phone.

The miCoach is a quad-band slider phone that features a dedicated fitness button that furnishes you with the details of your heart beat, distance covered, and running time, when hooked up with a heart monitor or a step counter. You can view the running information by tapping the cellphone’s screen without needing to hook it up to a PC. It’s loaded with over 220 fitness programmes which you can choose from. And the cellphone will feedback to you with your heart beat rate whether you’re going too fast or too slow according to the chosen programme.
