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

of brussels sprouts and racial features.

brussel sprouts are in season i think. they are going for 1 pack for 52p. it used to be like 1/4 of the pack for £1. but now seems to be cheaper. oh yeah. it seems to be siu pak choi. but it just didnt opened. anyways, that nite i went to morrisons, to buy more food. but when i walked halfway i found out that i didnt bring my wallet.. ^$£"%$£^%$ but lucky i had coins in my pocket. all i had was 96p. how sad.. lol . i went to the store to look for nga choi. er.. whta they call them here.. i think some sort of beans.. they usually sell them for 45p. i wanted it cos i cooked chicken rice mah. but then they didnt have it. and they have mixed stir fried thingy which was £1.29. poor ole me didnt buy it cos i didnt have enough lol so i hunted for cheap stir fry vege, the sprouts looked like a cheaper alternative. well.. i bought it. cooked it ate it with chicken rice. next thing i knew.. i was down with a bloody cough. ugh.. lotsa phlegm. not sure how i got it.. but that aside, i've ...

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

today will be a bit earlier as i hvae something to say

. last nite went back. threw the rubbish outside the flat. i think the collectors come at about 8pm-ish. and was trying to think of what to cook. i contemplated against making fish fingers with salad. but it turned out my fridge died again.. i dun understand it.. it just turns off. grumbles. and then my salad went bad. so there's no salad to be eaten. and then i thought wth, lets cook spaghetti, then i washed the pot. and then suddenly realized that it was awfully quiet, and the water was running cold. GAH!! the heater was not working. and that would mean we ran out of gas. and the feller who tops up the gas ( we use a gas card) not in. so cannot cook anything. then i was thinking should i go out and buy food. then i remembered that i havent had rice in AGES. so out came the steamer. and + 4 eggs + canned tuna + half a can of corn. steamed rice + steamed eggs + the rest of them. finished it off. phew.. i wouldnt hvae cooked rice if there was gas. bah i guess it worked out all good...
