|  | Speaker set mod log
Tuesday, April 03, 2007
"I searched through the Internet to see what has already been done, and I realized that good worklogs about computer speaker modding do not exist. Logitech kindly supplied me with z-5500 5.1 system as a basis for this project. I think they look ok as stock, but I'm trying to transform them to look more expensive and not so "computer related." I think speakers should be made out of wood, and they should display the material used and not cover it with thick layer of paint." Antii from Metkumods.com is right. I don't think I've ever seen a mod of speakers before. I really do like the end result too. |   |
| PPU blog
Monday, April 02, 2007
One of the buzz terms floating around the office in Taiwan is “PPU”. The term stands for Personal Portability Uptime. Man do I hate the overuse of acronyms! What PPU is basically saying is that because a UMPC is far more portable than a laptop, you get more use out of it. They certainly are more convenient to carry around than laptops.One of the toughest things about being a geek is all the gadgets and stuff you have to carry around. I have had to travel around the US so many times over the last 6 years I’ve lost count. Most of those trips I traveled to 5 or 6 states in 2 weeks, spending 2 to 3 days in each place. That’s a lot of airport time and flight time. My carry on bag with my laptop/PSP/camera and PDA phone weighs in at about 11kg (24.2lbs) and that’s without magazines and books. Some airlines like Singapore have a maximum bag weight of 7kg but that’s the weight of my laptop by itself. Over the years I’ve looked for all types of ways to have all the options my gadgets give me without getting to the stage where I can’t carry it all - not only for when I travel but for day to day use when I’m out seeing people as well. It looks kind of odd when you have to carry a 10kg+ laptop bag into a costumer’s office. Keep reading... | |

"TCP/IP is the most used network protocol nowadays. In this tutorial we will explain how it works in a very easy to follow language. So, what is a network protocol anyway? Protocol is like a language used to make two computers to talk to each other. Like in real world, if they are not talking the same language, they cannot communicate."

| Pico-ITX pictures
Monday, April 02, 2007
Akihabaranews.com often get their hands on new VIA EPIA boards before other media - or at least get their camera lens pointed at one. The much anticipated EPIA PX1000GX, the first Pico-ITX EPIA board measuring just 10x7.2cm, has smiled for the camera. As you can see, it's barely bigger than a hard drive. | |
