icybox - JBOD

this should have brought my storage space up to 2 TERABYTES !!!
but i chickened out due to the price and money constraints. anyways, i bought this for about 42 and 1 TB hdd for 110 totaled up to 152£ .
not cheap. i think it's cheaper back in msia.

anyways, maybe it's the time of the year again where i find myself interested in computer stuffs again.

that being said. i didn't know formatting a 1TB hdd takes about 3 hours.. or maybe less.. but i know it was LONG !!!

so far no problems. i just slip the hdd in to the slot. and connect it.. and my computer detected it as 931.50GB .

okay.. so i bought 1 TB drive and then i got 1 more slot free..
so i took my 500gb out from the coolermaster ext casing and slipped that into the icybox as well.
there whaddya know.. it works too.
so i save one usb port and one plug point.

my usb ports are all used up. i have an old casing so i can only manage to use 4 usb ports that comes with the mobo behind the comp.
1 is used by the ext hdd. 1 is used by the ipod charger. 1 is used for my thumbdrive. and last one is for my webcam.
finish.
it's alot of wires everywhere.. that's what i hate about computers..

anyways, i bought it. got more space than ever.. :D

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
