Colleagues and I were green with envy when we came across this article. http://www.deloitte.com/dtt/article/0,1002,cid%253D222712,00.html Deloitte Belgium gave one new Mini Cooper to each of its 340 fresh graduates! Notice the green headlamps on the blue Mini Cooper, it's our symbolic 'little green dot' on the Deloitte logo. And the convoy of Mini Coopers was impressive!

Got my IPhone 3G this week, it's a black 16GB model. It's really nice, and I just love it.. However, my wife's white 16 GB model got an unrecoverable error while upgrading the iphone software to 2.0. Did a search on the net, and it turned out to be a common iphone problem, termed the "Silver Apple Screen of Death". For all Windows users out there, that should be a familiar term, as it sounds just like the Windows "Blue Screen Of Death" (BSOD). And like the BSOD, this problem can be fixed with a reset.

Last night was Vista 64 Vs Justin, Round 3. I bought a DIY PC 3 days ago, and I fixed up everything fined except for Windows Vista. Vista simply refused to boot up correctly even after many attempts of clean installations. It is so frustrating that somehow, I'm sure Microsoft or Vista must be out to make my life difficult.. Up till last night the winning score was Vista two, Justin zero =( But last night was a success! So finally, after 3 nights of painful struggling, installing, formatting, uninstalling, reformatting, etc, my new PC is up and running! The specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.0 GHz Asus P5Q Pro 4GB Kingston HyperX 2X2gb kit MSI R4870 T2D512 OC Edition (gotta love it as it came overclocked!) Maxtor 200 GB SATA CM RealPower M520 Modular MS Vista Home Premium 64bit Total Damage: $1700 I benchmarked it on 3DMark Vantage, and the results were okay and I'm quite satisfied =) CPU score: 6374 Graphics score: 8091 There should be an Olympic event for PC performance =) ...

Attended the company Bootcamp at Pattaya last week, just got home last weekend. The trip was fun, company sponsored SQ air tickets plus stay in 5 star hotel at Dusit Resort. Daily schedules involved seminar by day, and toxification on local beer by night. Also visited a beautiful island beach resort called Munok Island, a peaceful little island filled with peacocks. A good 9 days trip I must say, thanks to good friends for company and generosity of bosses.
