Unboxing my PS4

After 12 years (it's been that long?!) I finally purchased my second Playstation. My first was the Playstation 2. And it has been sitting next to my TV for 12 years. It has brought me so much happy, angry and sad moments. And till the day I unplugged it from my TV, it has been keeping my 9 year old son entertained. Heck it is older than my son! And I truly thank my PS2 for all the joy it has brought us. But its time has come to be replaced. I have many a time contemplated to replace it with the PS3. But I have been able to curb the temptation and have continued to place faith in dear PS2.

2016 Calendar template for Adobe Illustrator

Here is a skeleton 2016 calendar created for Adobe Illustrator. I have previously posted an entry about trying to download a Calendar template for Adobe Illustrator CS2. I have found that many of them are either not suitable for starting out your own design from scratch or it is for higher versions of Adobe Illustrator. I know that many like me are searching for calendar templates for their new projects and probably do not have the latest Illustrator versions to open the available templates out there.

Recovering Photos From A Corrupt Compact Flash (CF) Memory Card

I recently returned from a holiday trip in Seoul (Korea) and took a lot of photos using my old Canon 400D DSLR. This camera still uses the compact flash (CF) memory card and I had used two 1Gb cards during my 7 days excursion. The second day after I returned home, I went ahead to plug-in the card reader to my Mac to start downloading my photos for storage.

I plugged in the first CF card and my Mac gave me a warning not to unplug the card without first ejecting it as it would cause errors. I was confused as I have only plugged it in and haven't pull it out. There was no eject option so I unplugged the card reader and plugged it in again, with the same outcome. I did it a few times before it finally started reading the card. I went the folder where the photos would be and I could see all the files, but when I clicked on those picture files, nothing showed up and every file was just 16kb in size! Then my Mac was telling me there is 1Gb free space on the card! Can you imagine my horror?

Change your user icon on Mac OSX Mountain Lion (a.k.a 10.8)

I just migrated my MacBook Pro from OSX Lion to OSX Mountain Lion. There are some changes here and there and of course the most notable are the iCloud integration, iChat, Notification feature and the Gamecenter integration.

Well, I presume the upgrade would be pretty straight forward. I did a clean install instead as my MacBook just came back from repairs so I thought what the heck... Just do a clean install since there is nothing inside that I need. After my installation, I wanted to change my user icon to a customised icon and I realise that I cannot do it the same way I did before with OSX Lion.
