Once Upon Atrocity

Silver Sigg

We’re very much into Sigg bottles since they’re durable and the water stored in them doesn’t taste funky. Here’s the latest addition to his collection:

Here are the his and hers Siggs:

Aren’t our Siggs pretty?

Another toy I managed to squeeze some time in, this time a bear.

He was made to complement the pink bunny. A pink pair!

It’s been a while since I had the time to make a toy, and this one took a long time to make too (because I was spending lots of time having all kinds of fun with him!). Here’s the strawberry bunny, or strawbunny for short.

I hope he’s just in time for Easter.

I love his surprises. They make me so happy! And this time, it’s a pair of USB speakers.

They may be small, but they are fierce! Even at the softest audio setting, they are still very much audible. And for such a small pair of speakers, the quality produced is surprisingly good. We tried them on movies and games, and they have proved their worth many times over.

Thank you so much for them dear!

Glad you like them dear!

Eee PC Storage

I’ve been having storage problems on the little Atom. So his solution for me is to get me more storage, lots more storage!

It’s my 2009 Christmas present and it’s 500 GB worth of Western Digital Scorpio goodness. Not only that, it also does the job faster, and with virtually no sound compared to the stock one that I was using up until now. Thanks to him, I don’t have to worry about how my hard disk drives are perpetually showing up red.

But what can I do with the stock hard disk? He has another surprise for me, and it’s an external hard disk enclosure! This will come in very useful for me, especially when we’re transferring files from his machine to mine.

Thank you dear. You always seem to know exactly what it is that I need and want.

You’re welcome dear. I’m glad you love your Christmas gift!

Intel X25-M SSD MKII

It’s time for his machine to get a boost, and the best boost would be an SSD hard disk.

With SSD, we really can see much of a difference compared to a traditional hard disk. Here’s what we’ve found:

No noise!
Greatly increased speed. Applications launch instantly. Very good for games, it shaves off the loading time.
No more defragmenting
It’s so cute and small!

On the downside, it runs out of space rather quickly. Better not use it for backups

To fix this problem, I’m planning to get another one in the future and RAID 0 them for a combined 160GB of space and get double SSD speed goodness! Windows 7 Ultimate currently loads in 18 seconds and hopefully RAID - will be able to shave off a few more seconds!

Stroopwafels are originally meant to be eaten with a cup of steaming coffee. Yummy! For him at least
