Sebab Sebenar Kesukaran Komunikasi Sel

Seperti Hari Raya yang lepas-lepas perasan atau tidak, talian talipon biasanya sesak. Nak talipon tak dapat, mesej yang sama dapat sampai 2 kali, mesej setahun lepas muncul balik (lalu mendatangkan nostalgia). Sepatutnya dengan adanya Measat 3 benda ni tak boleh terjadi. Tak boleh.

Rupa-rupanya, menurut salah seorang angkasawan Russia yang balik dengan Dr. Sheikh Muzaphar hari tu, telah berlaku satu peristiwa pada malam hari raya (di sana dikira malam saja). Waktu itu Sheikh tengah berjalan di ruangan angkasa dan ketika itu di singgah sebentar di salah satu Measat. Nak dijadikan cerita Sheikh ni tadi tersepak cable power satelit tu menyebabkan satelit tu terpadam.

Mahu atau tidak si Sheikh ni terpaksa pergi memasang balik plag satelit tadi yang soketnya terletak di bulan. Itu pasal la ada lagi 3 eksperimen tak siap masa dia balik sini.

Resizing Your Pictures Efficiently!

First of all, I don't know why I'm writing about this. This is too serious.

Ok now, for you digital camera owners out there, size does matter. Contrary to popular belief, the size of your pictures matter only for a certain extent. You don't really need picture qualities up to 7 or 12 megapixels, unless you are making a poster or you are working for National Geographic.

As far as I know most digicam consumers upload pictures into their computers and switch on the the slideshow button. And that's it. All those large megapixels are merely for blowing up your pictures to unnecessary scales. I don't think there's the necessity to look at pictures of your relatives eating kuih raya in A4 sizes. I myself sets my 7 Mpixel camera to use only 1 MPixels.

Okay let me get straight to the point. My problem came when my mother's Casio camera has a minimum setting of 2 Megapixels. It is quite space consuming. The size of one picture is more than 1 Mb. You can however resize your pictures down to 1/8th of the original without compensating the quality.

First of all, you have to download a handy tool called the image resizer, which you can obtain from Microsoft's Website or directly from this link. Install the software normally, and after the installation you will notice a new option when you right click on any picture. You will see a command to "resize pictures".


When you click the option a small window will appear asking you for the new size of your picture. Select Advanced--> Custom and it will allow you to set any size to your picture.

Now the trick is that you should set your pictures to the same size as the original. Say the width of the original picture is 1600 pixels, so insert the same number. And you only have to specify the width since the software automatically constraints the proportions of your pictures. Then press OK.


The best thing about this software is that you can apply it to multiple pictures simultaneously. Just select an eventful of pictures and right click. You should get your pictures ready in minutes. Although you reduce the picture in capacity size, the quality is not deterred, at least to the naked eye. This is a more practical way than using an image editor, for just merely to resize your pictures. Well, enjoy!

Satu Raya 13/10/2007

Hari Raya mendatang.. tapi kini sudah tidak seperti dulu.. Saiz keluarga berubah2, adakala kembang ada kala kincup (kedua2nya dari segi bilangan dan saiz badan). Jikalau masa kecil dulu bunga api dan duit raya menjadi misi, kini aku fokus kepada perkara yang lebih serius: Mengesan Salasilah Nenek Moyang. Nanti dulu...

Perayaan bermula di Petaling Jaya kemudian membawak ke Jeram Mengkuang, Bidor, Perak pada belah petangnya..

Selesai mengomel-ngomel, bergolek gelentang di rumah Opah, singgah ke romah Wan Yah di mana Opah Tak sedang bersantai. Tiga orang termasuk aku telah mendukung Opah Tak masuk dalam Unser yang kemudiannya dipandu oleh Opah Tak ke rumah adiknya Tok Chik, di Bidor juga. Eh, mungkin bukan Opah Tak yang pandu..
Bercerita-cerita di romah Tok Chik sampaila ke Megrid.. Balik romah Opah, tapi Opah Tak
tingge. Tatkala selepas makan malam, Balqis tiba dengan jerit pekiknya yang menggamatkan suasana.



Sudahnya malam raya pertama disudahi dengan bersembang diselit dengan sedikit jegle jegle...

Makanan puas hati.. Pukul 10 baru beransur..

Namun penganjuran persidangan ni sedikit sebanyak menguji diriku. Aku hampir2 memeukul Popo Slut sampai masuk longkang kerana cuba menarik diri di saat2 akhir.

Satu kepala dicas sebanyak RM42.40, walhal di websitenya yang dihiasai gadis2 Korea menyatakan harganya adalh RM33.88++.. banyak betul di plus2 nya..

Tapi trick dia kalo cukup 22 orang dapat free 2 orang.. arakian kisah aku hampir memukul Popo Slut...

Keseluruhan, 4 bintang. 1 bintang ditolak kerana tiada awek Korea.
