Just downloaded the FLV Player ‘cos i wanted to save the music videos of the movie 881 from youtube to my laptop and there was this bonus programme that came long with the package – the Freecorder Toolbar.  The Freecorder Toolbar allows u to capture songs from your browser in mp3 format.  Fantastic tool i […]

Wireless Network

 Off and on, my Toshiba Protege M500 would have this problem – it would connect to my modem via wireless network, but not to the Internet.  Sometimes rebooting helps, or shutting down and restarting the laptop… or sometimes i switch off and on my modem again.  That helps too.  But it can be extremely frustrating […]

Portable Drives

Ok, i know this has been around for ages but i never got down to installing it ‘cos i never really had the need for it.  Till now… need to transfer some files, pics, etc, from my desktop to my laptop and so i decided to try it. Presenting it to you… the GMAIL DRIVE!  […]

Firefox 2.0.0.5

Wow!  Firefox rocks!  My laptop hanged while i was surfing Facebook and after i hard reset, obviously all my data was gone right?  Well, the sites i had opened in IE were gone… but when i opened Firefox, it asked whether i wanted to “Restore Session” ‘cos it detected that my Firefox was “closed unexpectedly”!  […]

PA Mart SUCKS!

Personal Automation Mart Pte Ltd (aka PA Mart) SUCKS. Do NOT buy anything from them. I called them up a 4th time… the Weisong i spoke to during the 3rd time wasn’t available, phone got passed to some chap called Keith, who is “the person in charge of Toshiba”, and i was told that i […]

Live Messenger 8.5

Hi all fellow closet tech geeks.  Was alerted by Iceman that there’s a version 8.5 for Live Messenger.  I tried to get it off the Live.com website but failed miserably… the stupid site kept directing me back to ver 8.1.  Tried to post a feedback on the forum but was greeted with a blank page […]

Drama Happens Everywhere

Hello everyone!  This is my first post using my newly bought Toshiba Protege M500-1021E laptop.  Been thinking of buying a laptop for a couple of weeks now ‘cos my desktop’s getting kinda slow and since WLAN’s so freely available now, i figured i might as well get a laptop instead of a desktop for my […]
