 Hey guys, I know it has been a long time since I have last wrote on anything here. Have been quite busy with work and all. Yes I do have a life outside of this blog. I was also away on a holiday in the United States visiting a long lost friend of mine. Havent seen him for the past 12 years since we graduated.

He is actually a surgeon now based in the Big Apple. During my duration there I came across something that I thought I should share with you guys. Dont you get frustrated most of the time with promises from your ISP provider. They always say that their internet connection is the best but the truth is it is always expensive for nothing.

Most of the time my internet connection goes according to timing. Work time is always the best as well as from late night till early morning other than that the speed is more like a dial up connection although the price is more of a DSL line.

What am I talking about you might ask. Well it is Satellite Internet. This is more of a broadband service that uses a two way satellite connection. It is more clearly knowned as  Satellite DSL. The speed using this service is by far the best I have seen. Using it was a breeze and it was very good especially when I did a lot of video conferencing. I know by know you guys would say that this is great but is way out of my budget.

Well there is surely one thing I can tell you guys. It is within means. There is this company called HughesNet that supplies the equipment and the connection for this type of broadband facility. So far the pricing that I have seen them quoting is very cheap. It is only about USD 79 per month and there is multiple types of facilities that they are providing.

I would surely recommend this service to anyone who is seriously using the internet or even in fact to anyone who is using the internet paying for a service and not getting what they expect.

Head on down to their website which I have provided in the links above and you would notice that this is surely a service to get. Hopefully they will bring such a thing down to Malaysia as soon as possible as I am clearly down hearted with my service provider.

The Future Is Now - Flying Man

Flying cars would just remain as dreams. Not even one that we’ve heard that has made a success. Forget about those flying cars, a personal jet-powered flying wing definitely sounds more promising here. As it’s been tested at 8,000 feet above the ground. Here we come Ironman.

 

Yves Rossy, in Switzerland, has made an official demonstration for his jet-powered personal flying wing. He asked a plane to lift him up to 8000 feet in the sky and drop him from there to let him sail by his jet-powered flying wing. Everything had gone smoothly, the wing worked, and he’d traveled in the air for about 5 minutes, flying horizontally over the mountains at a speed of up to 186MPH before parachuting gently to the ground.

The wing is about 8 feet across, powered by 4 Jet-Cat P200 jet turbine engines, which each can output 50 pounds of thrust that allows a flight time to last up to 10 minutes. The only control of the wing is a throttle, so Yves had to control the direction of the wing entirely by his body.

The engine enables the user to ascend, which is at a rate of about 1,000 feet per minute. But it might have problem to let you take off completely from the ground. In order to fly in the sky, you’d probably need a plane to lift you up to certain height, let go to let you sail in the air on your own. It’d probably involve some complexity, at least, you’ll need to be trained to know when to parachute to the ground. I guess the device is still in the prototype stage. There are still lots of rooms for improvement, such as making it easier to operate. And safety is the main issue to be taken into consideration before it can get materialized as a commercial product.

Philips X800

I have always loved phones that are more into the PDA style. The iPod touch is one of my favourites although I cant seem to let go of my Asus. 

Philips has officially announced for the release of its touchscreen phone, Philips X800 e2e. The phone features a 2.9 inch touchscreen, which the UIs on the touchscreen pose very close similarity to the iPhone’s.

Too bad is the phone will make its official appearance in China only. Another fact that shows that the Chinese also get nice cell phones. This could be due to the China market is huge, having a rapid rise in number of mobile phone users.

The e2e in the code name of this cellphone has a special meaning. It means the touchscreen has the capability to stretch from “edge to edge”. The phone will also boast impressive battery life, which is one of the common features found in Philips Xenium brand.

The phone also comes with a 2.0 megapixel camera, and supports GPRS network only. And also WiFi capability is present on this phone, so you can hook up to any WiFi hotspot, which at least lets you gain little higher speed of surfing the net, even though it has no 3G/HSPA support.

Cleaning My Deck

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.

Living Life Debt Free

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.
