As expected, I am prepared to ditch SPB Mobile Shell from my Samsung Omnia. I will definitely uninstall it by the end of this week. Well, I sounded like I hated SPB Mobile Shell. That is not true at all. It is a great piece of mobile application but it just not suits me even though it is more stable than Wisbar Advance Desktop. Anyway, I have decided to stick to Wisbar Advance Desktop.

I wonder if I should skip my Saturday routine this weekend. I mean skip watching movie and do some pending stuffs. Since I go to gym on Saturday morning, I hardly have anytime left to do my own stuffs when I reach home. Still, everything will depend on my energy level after gym this Saturday. Right now, it is sunny and I am looking forward for this evening spinning class.

Following yesterday post, I have removed SPB Mobile Shell from the startup but I have not uninstalled it. I am currently using Wisbar Advance Desktop, slowly configuring, and skinning it to my liking. Most of the icon links are not working at the moment as I am only at the stage of creating my own lock screen. The lock screen that comes together with the screen was not exactly a lock screen. What the original script did was hide all existing widgets and display some lock buttons and time. Upon unlocking, it will again show all the widgets while hiding the lock buttons and time.

Thus, I created a new page and recreated the lock page. It is working great now. I just wish that future upgrade would include a setting where users can select which widgets to be edited or which page to be edited. At the moment, I can jump to another page just like that. I will have to create a button that will jump to the other page in order to edit that particular page. Troublesome but great fun!

I am on the verge of uninstalling SPB Mobile Shell from my Samsung Omnia. No doubt it is a great piece of mobile application but the customisations are limited to within the program. If I were to make my own widgets, I will have to create them myself through some scripting. There are quite a lot of customised widgets out there but they are not useful to me. Currently, I have SPB Mobile Shell plus SPB Mobile Shell Skins installed. The ability of changing some of the icons in SPB Mobile Shell has made me stick on to SPB Mobile Shell until I found out Wisbar Advance Desktop.

Wisbar Advance Desktop enables users to customize the whole layout of Today screen as well as adding multiple pages, docks, gestures, scripts and many more. Scripts in Wisbar Advance Desktop are quite easy to use understand because the scripts themselves are some procedures with easy to understand descriptions. The whole concept of Wisbar Advance Desktop, to my understanding, is using the if-then-else concept. Each link created can have its own icon attached to it. And it is not about an icon, it is about two icons; one display icon and one pressed icons. After fiddling around with Wisbar Advance Desktop, I found that the functions are incredible detail and so far, I have not experienced any program crash or error.

Soon, bye bye SPB Mobile Shell!

It has been weeks since I last login to Facebook. Funny, huh? I used to be quite active for like a week or two but now, Facebook is not in my routine anymore. Maybe I am occupied by the customising of Samsung Omnia programs as well as playing The Sims 3. Time is never enough but still, I am glad that Mee and I manage to keep ourselves busy everyday.

Right now my focus is still on gaining weight. If our mechanical scale is correct, I gained 5kg in the span of two months and I am still underweight. I hope to gain another 5kg and based on current calculations, it will take another two months. Keep going!

This week is the second week without my manager. Everything still works and nothing breaks. I am busy as always and there will be a system upgrade after my manager comes back. I reckon that the system upgrade is not that urgent that it has to be done this week. Anyway, I will take sometime to prepare the necessary things for the system upgrade this week.

Surprisingly, I received an invoice this morning. The college’s workshop charged me with a repair on my car which has never been performed. I had already email-ed the mechanic saying that I will be sending my car to another workshop, and I got a reply from him saying that it was fine. Hmm.. I will have to go down to finance to get the bottom of it.

Another surprise is that Mee’s Sony Ericsson C903 has stopped working. It does not charge or power up. We wonder what happen to it since it was working all right yesterday. I will have to call 3 customer services and see what they can do for us. I hope it will be an exchange rather than sending it back for repair.

The reviews about Windows 7 have been great, or perhaps greater than Windows Vista. Most people would say Windows Vista is sluggish and hungry while most people would say Windows 7 is better and faster than Windows Vista by miles. That is also part of the reason where I left a blank partition in my hard disk drive. I was thinking of installing Windows Vista on that partition but Windows 7 has made me abandoning the idea. Surprisingly, Windows 7 has a minimum requirement of 1 GHz processor speed, 1GB RAM, 16GB hard disk space and a Directx 9.0 graphics device. But I do not think that is the kind of specifications where Windows 7 could live in.

The lowest price I could get for Windows 7 now is around £50 for Windows 7 home basic while £90 for Windows 7 professional. I believe that they are a real bargain. Our computer specifications now are Intel Pentium Core Duo E5200 2.5GHz, 2GB ddr2 RAM, 500GB hard disk drive and onboard Intel GMA3100 graphic card. Hence, I am pretty sure that our computer would work well with Windows 7 in it.

Weird, weird, weird. Sometimes, you just cannot understand what people have in their mind. The house where Mee and I live at the moment is considered quite peaceful with no change of roommates and not major problems except one. But that does not annoy us much because we seldom see him. The thing we find weird is that for some reason, he does what he likes as if he owns the house.

He always leaves the corridor light on and he opens the kitchen’s door and windows but seldom closes them back. There were some occasions where he slept over at his friend’s house but left the bedroom’s light on. A funnier version was that he could leave the bathroom with the tap running. He is quite a forgetful person and he does remember to lock his room’s door as well as the main door. Oh yeah, on one occasion, he actually left his car’s windows wound down over the night.

Furthermore, he likes curry and each time he cooks, the whole kitchen smells curry. He does not really care about people who live in the house. What he could do is to open the kitchen’s door and windows but he seldom does it. Funnily, he bought some candle and lit one each time after cooking. Our landlord was not really happy because he usually left the candle and went back to his room. As a result, our landlord confiscated the rest of the candles and we are not sure whether it was right for our landlord to do so.
