Super Cooler
Desktop coolers are usually used for high performance motherboards to lower down the running temperature and maximise its potential. Some people are just content with changing the fan, some would install a super cooler, and some, well, decided to replace the whole casing with super coolers.
I reckon it’s a bit too much. But I’m quite interested in getting myself one of these super coolers.

Blackberry Curve 8300
I’ve been using the the Curve for nearly 4 months now and I feel like writing my own review on it. But, rather than writing a lengthy review, I’m going to write a concise summary of the Curve 8300.
The good: Full QWERTY keyboard with a sleek and solid design. A 2-megapixel camera is located at the back, which gives you quick access to emailing the photos you just took. For connectivity, it uses EDGE, GPRS and Bluetooth. Includes built-in spell checker for e-mails, messages and even chat programs.
The bad: No Wi-Fi or 3G. No video-recording for the camera, and depending on the incoming callers phone, the call quality might sound hollow.
The bottom line: Despite the lack of Wi-Fi and 3G, the Curve still offers the best design for a smartphone. The features are provided that it caters for both personal users and professionals.

The worse phishing site ever
I got an IM from a friend promoting a link. I don’t think he intended on passing this link purposely on YM, therefore I’d give him the benefit of the doubt that his YM might contain some self-sending-IM virus.
Anyway, the link that he sent me was the most obvious phishing site ever. Not only is the site’s URL is geocities (in which the phished content is your Yahoo user ID and password), it also has advertisements from geocities on the site.
http://www.geocities.com/ibucute/
Just in case they removed the site, I’ve taken a screenshot here:
I was laughing so hard. How can anybody fall for this? If you have to phish, try doing it properly. Bloody IT drop outs.
And you were wondering why you couldn’t get a job.

Monash’s CCNA
I was walking around my faculty today and I saw this sign:
I can’t help but to smile to myself. “What if I already have it?”
Anyway, I’m not sure if I have blogged about this before, but I’m going to mention it again. The fee to study CCNA as a short-course at Monash is AU$1650 per module (Monash separated the CCNA program into 4 modules). At the academy that I went (Trainpro) in Malaysia, I get to study for CCNA and MCSE both at RM7000 (~AU$2500). Bear in mind that MCSE has 7 units, and CCNA has only 1 unit.
Just look at the difference. RM7000 (or AU$2500) for a total of 8 units, against AU$1650 x 4 = AU$6600 for only 1 unit (CCNA).
Furthermore, at Trainpro, ex-students have the luxury of a refresher course within a 1 year periodAU of taking their couse. That means that if you ever forget anything after a few months of learning, or if you need clarification on certain topics from the instructors, you can simply go there and discuss it with them. That’s definitely value for money.

Hall of Fame
My recent success in passing my CCNA has been listed in Trainpro’s hall of fame. Below is the screenshot from the website.
I made 1 mistake in the exam, hence I got 974/1000. My other classmate, listed at number 158, got perfect marks at 1000. Sure is lucky.

CCNA
Finally, after much deliberation, I passed my CCNA exam. I took it this morning and managed to score 974/1000. I was extremely happy to the point of screaming in the exam lab.
Now that I’m CCNA, I might consider doing CCNP , but maybe after a few years (and before my CCNA expires). To add to the excitement, when I got home, my MCSE goodies arrived via UPS.
