8.6.2008 | Dark Visual Styles Week
Its an exciting week for Visual Stylers. Many releases, with a few transformation pack. I don’t find them visually appealing, so I will only focus on a couple of notable releases and interestingly, its all dark.
Clean, small and a good dark theme.
Good color combination, and another good dark theme. Options in blue and grey allow users to change colors as the mood changes.
Another dark theme, and this ones is totally dark, including the toolbar. It comes with a sleak styler toolbar as well.
8.6.2008 | Half the price
One of the most formidable rule of shopping is not to settle on the first price you see. I was looking for a skin for my iPhone, and was browsing at one of the IT mall at Hua Qiang Bei. As I was going up the escalator on the first floor, I spotted the item I wanted, it was RMB 35 for one, with a simple question,’can it be cheaper’, the price drop to RMB 30. It was a little more than what I was willing to pay for a piece of rubber. So I soldiered on to the 4th floor and came across another shop, with many more color choices and the price was RMB 15. With much haggling, the price remained the same. So I bought two, for the price that I would pay to get one on the first floor. This is why, never settle for the first price you see. You never, know, it might be much cheaper just a few floors up. Oh, by the way, pink is for my wife, so don’t get any funny ideas.
11.20.2007 | Where are all the techqies?
I have been in the company for almost 3 weeks now, and I have not seen a single techqie yet. I have seen quite a lot of fasionable people, but none that are hung up on gadgets nor computers. I was working with one of the manufacturing expert asking her if she has found the thumb scanner next to the laptop screen useful? And her response was like, eh, what’s that thing? When I explain what it was, I can see the amazement on her eyes that her 1 year old laptop has this feature. I have also notice that 50% of the population uses WinXP default theme and color scheme, and 50% of the population uses the windows classic look. I was surprise that they know how to use the window classic to speed up their computer. I was in a discussion with one of the program manager and I commented him on how smart he is to use windows classic to speed up the laptop. He noted that he was thought to do it by someone, but didn’t know the purpose. Anyway, his laptop was only a little over a year old, and didn’t need the speed boost anyway. Everyone seams to use the computer for its intention and none did any personalization. None has any sticker on their laptop as well. How boring. Well, this is going to change. I will be the first to have stickers and the minute I get my new laptop, I will pimp it up with OSx theme. Lets see if I manage to get some heads turn and poison them to modify the desktop like I did with my previous company.
