Exactly three years after the terrorists bombed Bali that killed so many people, they have struck again, killing again so many people. And now, God still expect His children to love these people? How??!! Tell me how??!! My anger burned everytime I remember these killings. Come to think of it, I was in Bali on Jan-Feb 2005 and everything looked so well already. *sigh*

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Now I know how hard it is to love someone whom you think doesn't deserve to be loved.

After clearing issues and misunderstanding with my domain provider, eventually they admit that my US$7.99 purchase of my hendrikch.com is legitimate. So, here I am with http://www.hendrikch.com blog address. Please update accordingly in your blog/favorites/bookmarks/memory/brain, can? Thanks.

Take a look at the dialog above. It's the standard Windows dialog that we may encounter during file copying process. At the bottom, you see four buttons: Yes, Yes to All, No, and Cancel. Where is No to All button? Apparently, the functionality for No to All is available, it's only not exposed in the user interface.

To get functionality of No to All in the dialog above, click No while holding  the Shift button, and that is equivalent to No to All. Such useful undocumented feature that I've only found out a few days ago myself. Can't believe I only knew this feature after close to 7 years of using Windows.

For those who are planning to upgrade to Windows Vista when it's due next year need to prepare to fork out money to get new hardware that will be able to utilize all the new and fancy Windows Vista features. During TechEd 2005 session in Australia, one of Microsoft strategist mentioned his view on what hardware Windows Vista need in order to make full use of all its features. Note that these list are not official, but could probably give us some hint on what we need to buy next year.

Windows Vista will work best on, .... are you ready ...., a video card with more than 256MB RAM, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a S-ATA 2 hard drive. Unless you are a gamer or had too much money, none of us would have 256 MB RAM video card (note that this is video card RAM, not system RAM). DDR3 memory are not due out until next year, and 2 GB is still overkill for many of us. SATA2 hard drive are not many in the market currently, but if I would guess, manufacturers will flood the market with SATA2 drives next year from 200-500 GB in capacity affordable for us.

In short, start saving now for those three items plus of course the cost of Windows Vista itself. I would say, those four items could cost us up to S$1,000 next year.

In case you don't know, the latest Messenger Plus! v3.61 has new feature for MSN Messenger called Tabbed Chats. As such, there will not be so many windows flying around your screen already. Everything will be neatly contained within one window that you switch back and forth easily. Now it seems everything from browser to Microsoft Office to MSN Messenger to explorer to dunno-what-else also have tabbed-feature already.

I found a very cool instant search at http://www.inquisitorx.com/beta/

Take a look at it, do a search, but don't click on the "SEARCH" button, but wait for a popup to appear.

You'll probably bored with it after a few minutes, but it's good to know that search can be fun

This one is very funny. Go to Google, enter failure into the search box, and click on I'm feeling lucky button and see where Google brings you to, hehehe...

If you understand what these are, I think it's funny.

Let me see if I can explain this easily, and hopefully they are correct:
Standalone: When you only have one hard drive in your machine.
Hot swap: Refers to hard drive that is easily swappable on and off a machine.
Cluster: When you have more than one hard drive side by side.
RAID: stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disk, has different types.
RAID 0 means you have two or more hard drives, and data written are splitted evenly on all drives, thus increasing performance. Total hard drive space you have are the sum of all drives you have.
RAID 1 means you have two or more hard drives, and data written on one drives are replicated exactly on all other drives, thus minimizing data loss risk should one drive fails.
RAID 5 means .... I don't understand, hehehe....
RAID 0+1 means you have four or more hard drives, for both replicating and sharing across all drives.

Hope these explains and doesn't confuse you even more, hehehe...

What happen when you have a projector at home, during weekend, and about to watch some TV series? My friends and I decided to try setting up a theatre-like experience in our room, to see how it feels to watch TV series (in this case Smallville) in a 100-inch screen . As usual, photos tells a thousand words Click individual photos for the larger image.

Somehow I didn't have the mood to update this blog for the past so many days. Any help? Even now, weekend, when I reached home, whole body feel very tired, my feet are killing me. Thought of something to write, but very lazy to type it out, coz it'll be very very long, I guess. We shall see my mood tomorrow then. Now, back to the pillows heaven, so zonked out !!!

A friend of mine came to me today and shared some of his personal matters struggle to me. We talked for close to an hour, the first half, I was all ears. I listened, listened, and listened to all he had to say. The second half, I was all mouth. I talked, opiniated, advised, encouraged, and gave some of my opinions, personal experiences, and all that I thought he needed.

What amazed me was how wise and good what I said were (please don't start flaming, read on ....). I talked like I already had tons of experiences and counselling hours with troubled people. After that sharing session, I talked to another friend for like 10 mins, before I went for bath. (it's 11PM, I forgot I haven't bathe yet, hehehe... dun worry, I'm all clean and fresh as I type this )

Okay, back to topic. When I was in my shower just know, I was wondering and rather amazed, "Where did all those came from?" refering to that one-hour talk with my friend. I knew all those words were not from me. I don't think I could talk like that, gave so much wise words and advice for the full half-an-hour, and later I realized, that God have used me to convey His message to my friend, whom I believe on his words to recovery. I spoke, but I believe the words were not from me. It was from God, as I am sure, I am not that wise after all. Not yet at least. hehehe... Now wishing that my friend will be okay soon.
