iDrool

Been trying to convince my dad to get an iPhone 4S for himself... and than a Mac and an iPad too... than get iWork so we can use iCloud on our iDevice... XD

Yes... i really wanna use iCloud... most of the time that i'll be thinking abt my story is when i'm travelling on the bus or train so... gah... iCloud + iWork = iDrool. F> kind souls to sponsor me... iWork family pack is S$168 for 5 licenses... iWant! Shall wait for my dad to get his mac and than try to get him to buy that :P. At least he MUST get the Adobe pack for mac... i want Photoshop thank you very much!

The iWork set on iOS isnt that cheap tho, USD 9.99 a piece... it'll be better if dad gets an iPad too (instead of say a galaxy tab) and he can use the iWork set on the iPad... more worth it when more ppl get to use it yeah?

The most irritating thing for my dad is the screen size i guess... when ppl get old their eyesight isnt as good.. the galaxy s2 makes things really lucrative with its HUGE screen. For me tho... i find the s2 a bit too big to comfortably hold... or fit into my pockets. Diff age range, diff needs i guess.

Spent quite a lot of time the past few days helping out my dad with the iPad stuff. The sch loaned them as a trial to find ways to teach students using the device... he's gotta return it on tues already... so i was helping him to learn to use the programs, reset the device etc... i was pleasantly surprised when he gave me a bit more pocket money for my efforts XD Thanks dad!

Heard some ppl had problems with updating to iOS 5... overloaded Apple server... my friend took like 2 hours to update to the iOS 5 itself... nope that does not include the time for apps. Heh... at 1st i thought many ppl would rush to update it right away when the iOS got released.... i guess not than... most of the ppl would update a little later in the day or the following day... so being too eager and updating when i woke up at 4am in the middle of the night was a good choice XD

My sis's friend somehow managed to delete all the songs, contacts etc when updating her iOS... no idea what happened... My dad was saying that i was very 'brave' to update my phone to fast - his colleges using iPhone have not dared to upgrade to the new iOS yet ... like i was teaching him abt the iPad stuff and he said i was very tech savy... well i guess its just a hallmark of the younger generation. Probably not all of us are tech savy, but you'll find a greater proportion of us compared to the older generation. Plus, i'm really not THAT tech savy at all.... i know nuts about computers and programming.... (apart from the basic tech spec stuff...) I am fairly adequate at USING computers though... normal usage stuff yeah. Nothing special. Perhaps i can go offer iOS 5 upgrading services or something lol... nah, i think i was really lucky to have upgraded my phone early and managed to avoid all the problems ppl faced like missing contacts/iTunes library etc from an overloaded Apple server.

Speaking of the computers... i always set my cursor speed to the fastest speed available... something which my dad and my sis cannot stand... idk... i just want things to go faster... and i dislike having to move my hand so much... i can't stand it if the cursor speed is slow. Even if i'm using the sch comp i'll set the cursor fast to the fast... My sis also hates how i set the corners to Expose, space etc... well its not really the setting that shd hates per say, but the fast cursor speed together with the triggers in each corner that leads to frequent accidental activation of those shortcuts. In truth i frequently activated those accidentally at the start myself, but got used to it soon enough. The bad thing tho is when you sneeze when holding the mouse... the cursor goes all over the place and... you get the idea.



On a different note... i'm still waiting for AnShi SP subs for LAST sat to be out! Plus there was another SP yesterday... gosh god knows how long that will take to come out... well there is 1 miserable subbed vid for last sat's show, but its really... miserable... the video quality is really bad T.T. Holding out for a better quality, subbed video... but idk how long i can cont waiting for... If i really can't take it anymore i'll just watch the HD raw ones... my Japanese standard is really pathetic tho... most of what i learnt came from watching Arashi shows so... but still, i can only understand the commonly said stuff... so on the average is the whole show... i get the main gist of everything, but sometimes they make some random comments or jokes and i can't understand :'(. So yeah... with subs are better... else its really a chore to go back and watch the entire video again, takes too long esp when the special is 90mins long... There hasn’t been any Arashi show besides the two SP for like... a month already... gosh... the lack of stuff to watch is really killing me now... T.T
