MSN Live Wave 3 Beta
Any of you guys got one of these sweet software package from Microsoft? I do! and I LIKE it especially the Windows Live Writer Beta and I’m currently using it to post my blog. It’s easy like you’re writing on Microsoft Word. Currently it is compatible with Blogger, WordPress, Live Journal, TypePad and many more.

As I mentioned its a package other than Windows Live Writer which are included; Windows Messenger Live Beta, Windows Live Mail Beta. Windows Live Photo Gallery Beta, Windows Live Movie Maker Beta, Windows Live Toolbar Beta and Windows Live Family Safety Beta
The Windows Live Messenger its wee bit sophisticated if your one of those people who like changes, I say go for it. But if your not one them well I guess it’s not your cup of tea. The only thing I like of the messenger its the chat window its more of a clean look. So it’s up to you guys if you want to have a go.

OMNI NOT
Zoom! Broadband met my expectations both surfing and download speeds are acceptable although there are times when traffic is high it’s like surfing using a 28.8 Kbps dialup. So one day I actually want to give it a try getting the OMNI package which is you have eSpeed and also Zoom! Broadband all in one package just for $88 per month.
When I about to signup and signed the required documents. They DECLINED my application, reason was that my espeed services is not currently up and IF I were to signup for OMNI my espeed must be up / activated first. WTF. I knew somewhere I read that I'm eligible to apply OMNI while waiting for my espeed, since I have espeed(previously inactive) the only problem was to relocate my espeed to a new number so meaning I’m on the same page.
Also taken from Telbru. WTF is that you morons!!!
Anyways I still want to get the OMNI, its a good BACKUP plan for situation like these. You never know relocation(pain in the ass waiting like mad for 2 weeks), espeed modem failure or download fast(I do get 150kb/s download sometimes).
Have a nice day

Mini Miny Mo
I know its out of date but who really cares, I’m one of millions whom is a Apple Mac fanatics. I owned quite a few products from them and I enjoyed using each one of their innovative and cool inventions. Of many products within Apple assembly I myself have trouble choosing either an Apple Iphone 3G or an Apple iPod Touch 2nd Gen. Both are similar in designs but obviously iphone offers more than the iPod Touch; the ability to make calls, sms, and surf by 3G HSPDA .
Apple iphone have been around the Brunei Market but sold in limited numbers which prices are sky high expensive. QQestore Brunei’s online store selling these Iphones for BND$1247 for the 8gb Apple iphone while the 16GB Apple Iphone which come with Black / White casing costing at BND$1400++. My advice is DON’T BUY it now unless you have that much money to burn. Curiously I’ve read at their site claiming it’s a SIM FREE version from Apple store itself which means user can update their firmware anytime if there’s an update through iTunes, nonetheless it doesn’t stop me from calling their shop asking for the product eligibility to perform the genuine update. Turn out it’s TRUE but I’m not that sure my self until I see the iphone can be updated by iTunes.
Verdict: 7
| Style & Design | 9 / 10 |
| Value For Money: | 5 / 10 |
| Ease of Use | 8 / 10 |
I love to own an iPod Touch but owning it would just to satisfy my lust over the iphone since a 8GB iphone cost 3 times more than an iPod Touch. IPod touch can be easily purchase from local shops QQestore, AV Electronics, Yappe, etc. Starting capacity of these iPod Touch are 8GB, 16GB, 32GB which prices range from BND$388 to BND$700. Oh so you know I’ll accept it as a gift if some of you out there happens to discard their iPod Touch I'm more than happy grab it =)
Verdict: 8
| Style & Design | 9 / 10 |
| Value For Money: | 7 / 10 |
| Ease of Use | 8 / 10 |

Yuhuuuu Neighbor
Ever felt that you want to get hold of your neighbors wireless key just to have access to internet? Well I do, with tons of research it is possible and it's easy (well that's what they say). Take note that accessing and hijacking your neighbors wireless is against the law( I'm not sure it does exist in Brunei) and what I'm providing is for educational purposes only (sentence taken from the video hehe) .
Interesting video to look at Weak WEP Encryption
There are many sites available, just Google it. Many people consider is a hack but to me its just something new just to pass my boredom. Look into it briefly getting or cracking many would call it, would require specific hardware, software, drivers even the OS.
The video linked above showed us that you'll need:
Aircrack - is an 802.11 WEP and WPA-PSK keys cracking program that can recover keys once enough data packets have been captured. In fact, Aircrack-ng is a set of tools for auditing wireless networks.
Commview is a powerful network monitor, analyzer and packet sniffer designed for LAN administrators, security professionals, network programmers, home users.
A compatible wireless card which can capture packets and injects packets, common ones are Atheros chipset card, CISCO, DLinks wireless cards. Google for more info.
An of course the OS, windows XP.
To get the idea of the whole process. Assume that you have all the necessary stuff loaded and ready.
- Start with capturing packets you need a tons of packets which is important because packets contains unique IV (WEP keys)
- 100K-200K IV's would be enough for a 64 bit WEP encryption
- Run a cracker to get the WEP key (Google it) :)
It's simple but its time consuming. Either way if your are one of those enthusiastic or advance users you could try using Linux or I recommend Back track 3 which contains all those security goodies that makes you a happy bunny. I would like to go on but I shouldn't spoil you and let you get started with the experimenting.
Interesting read facts on wireless networks.
Happy wardriving

Local Services
Telbru services are not to a standard yet when it comes to customer services. I for one have recently and currently having problem with my relocation of services (Internet), just the process would takes one week. It's now week 2 and yet there's no sign of activation of the service. Telbru's Making a difference slogan/motto sure making a good impression.
2 weeks without internet = lost $$ + spend $$ buy Bmobile zoom recharge, all in all a lot of my $$ gone.
Oh well at least i got my zoom prepaid it sure comes in handy. It keeps my hunger for surfing the sea of information down.
Will post again soon. Cheers
