My Alain Mikli Glasses

Sad.

Chipped my $1600 Alain Mikli glasses.

Heart pain.

Sniff.

Sharing the joys of my Eeepc

Hey, watcha doin'?



"Oops! Erm... hehe... nuttin'!"

Japanese Charcoal Roasted Black Beans

Sorry for the bad picture quality... but DAMN! These beans are da bomb!

Distinctly sweet, with a subtle fragrance of black beans and charcoal. Mmmm... and very crunchy too. :)

This pack of Japanese Charcoal Roasted Black Soy Beans or kuromame (黒豆) was kinda expensive though... S$16 for a 200g pack bought from Plaza Singapura, but, ah well. *shrug*

Yum yum.

An alternative to the new bulky Eeepc 900 power brick charger

One of the main differences between the Asus Eeepc 900 and her predecessors is the cumbersome power brick shown above. Also known as the "block and cable" charger as mentioned in the eeeuser forums.

I've been (trying to) pack my room in the last couple of days and came upon my old 3rd Gen Apple iPod charger. It has a removable 3 pin header which is now transplanted onto my Eeepc power brick.



VOILA!



Not the most elegant solution but hey...



... it works and goes with the overall white look. :)



One more thing, my iPod adapter comes with this alternative 2 pin header as well.

Tested Maplestory on EeePC

Well, it seems to be working quite fine...


Cheers! F2!

Update: BTW, I'm running the South East Asian version here in Singapore. MapleSEA. It's a 800 x 600 native resolution stretched to 1024 x 600. Might look weird to some people but it's alright for me as I'm used to 1920 x 1050 on my desktop monitor.
