Nice Words from "Life as We Know it"

History of www.watchaquarium.com

I was cleaning up our old home server that was meant for file sharing among house mates. And I found a huge folder with the photos of our previous website called www.watchaquarium.com.

Few years back (to be exact June 2010), we created a site call Watch Aquarium, where we setup an aquarium with some fishes (gold fish, guppy and etc..), a webcam pointing towards the aquarium and a server that will automatically publish the captured images every 10 seconds to the site.

Creative DIY Prank

Very great idea for a prank, I think that person use the air outlet from a vacuum cleaner and blow the air toward 2 rows of toilet paper, making a "toilet paper shooter".

曲婉婷 - Drenched

When minutes become hours
When days become years
And I dont know where you are
Color seems so dull without you

Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesnt seem to matter anymore

When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes
I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
Im drenched in your love
Im no longer able to hold it back

Is it too late to ask for love?
Is it wrong to feel right?
When the world is winding down
Thoughts of you linger around

Have we lost our minds?
What have we done?
But it all doesnt seem to matter anymore

When you kissed me on that street, I kissed you back
You held me in your arms, I held you in mine
You picked me up to lay me down
When I look into your eyes
I can hear you cry for a little bit more of you and I
Im drenched in your love
Im no longer able to hold it back

Beyond - 海闊天空 (2003 Live)

This song brings a lot of memories to me..

USB Hub Replacement

Happy 2012 New Year to everyone. Yesterday was not a very good day for me. While working on my circuit board, I accidentally shorted the 24V power to GND on it and spoiled my 7 port USB hub and MSO-28 Oscilloscope. I am not sure how it actually spoiled the USB hub and Oscilloscope, but I think it is something to do with the high voltage and the EMF stuff.

Luckily for the MSO-28 Oscilloscope, I found out that the fuse blew. After replace the fuse, the oscilloscope come back alive.
