What a nice word…
Now it’s time to finish up the stack of survey forms lying over in a pile there.
I’ve been researching which brand or series of notebook/netbook is more reliable. Searching on the internet yielded varying results. Everyone had their own strong opinion for or against any certain brand.
So far seems like sony is pretty unreliable (at least in the US), toshiba and lenovo/ibm is great, asus is decent, hp gets bashed for it’s cheaper models, but most say their premium models are pretty reliable, varying extreme opinions about dell, acer seems mediocre, fujitsu wasn’t mentioned much, apple was promoted wildly by fanboys/girls.
Therefore, I have still no frikkin idea what to choose.
I’m choosing between the same Acer 1810 with a Third-Party 3-year warranty, or HP Pavilion DM1 with Carepack, or a Toshiba T110.
Hmm choices choices.
Hmm I might get a refund for my laptop because of misinformation.
I dunno what to do after that?
Should I get the same laptop at another shop which offers a third-party 3 year warranty? Or should I just get another laptop which has an extended 3 year warranty, while providing similar features, but at a cost of about RM3k.
Dilemma. :X

Hmm, my laptop is considered a netbook and thus not applicable under the Acer Extended Warranty service.
Damn.
The retailer that sold me the ‘netbook’ (I’m still sore about calling this thing a netbook when it obviously isn’t) claimed that I just need to go to the Acer website to extend the warranty from 1 year to 3 years.
And the Acer website just stated information about the Acer Extended Warranty without any specific notice about which of the models are covered and which isn’t.
So I called up their hotline in the previous few days, confirmed about how to get the extended warranty without even knowing my laptop wasn’t covered in the warranty.
And so today, just when my dad could take a day off because my sister was flying off to Germany, I had to take a 1 hour KTM train to Subang (train was delayed for blardy 30 minutes), and he had to drive there half an hour earlier and wait for me for an hour, he called up the center and found out that actually my laptop isn’t covered under the extended warranty.
My dad’s quite pissed because 1. Retailer ‘cheated’ us either by his ignorance or his desire to just sell the unit. 2. Website didn’t have sufficient information, it’s not like I didn’t try to find out more information.
Oh well, I’m fine with the whole ordeal but I just felt a bit cheated. I would have bought the notebook from Evernew, another retailer that offered 3 year warranties covered by their company (not Acer or Highpoint) for any netbook/notebook/whatever. It’s better than having a 1 year warranty anytime.
I got only 1 year warranty. What to do now?
In about 2 months time I’ll be looking at a major overhaul of this tumblelog. Because of the new awesome pages feature.
Love you guys tumblr staff.
OMG OMG OMG OMG! Thank you so much tumblr!!!
Now testing: Pages
You can now add static pages to your blog, with a few very useful options. Head to your blog’s Customize page and click the “Pages” menu to get started. There are currently three types of Pages you can create:
- Standard Layout. Create a simple page with a title and body using your current theme.
- Custom Layout. Create a page with a completely separate layout.
- Redirect. Forward a route to a page on another domain. Useful for maintaining links when moving your domain name over to Tumblr.
Developers: Check out the Theme Docs for instructions on implementing the new
{block:Pages}tag.

Just ordered another serving of Shared cPanel Hosting from Serverfreak, once again…
Terry I might just be learning from you - having tumblr in a subdomain as a secondary, more personal site and the main chiawei.net as more ‘external’.
Things might change, or not… But we’ll just see how it goes alongs…
And since I’ve so much to write about, I might be condensing it into a whole theme about learning something new every week. Might be about writing, photography, music, philosophy of life, news, or random stuff that I think is central to the growth of a person.
On the other hand, I’m making a decision to join the HELP Toastmasters club with my friend because I realize public speaking skills is awesome and I find it nice to have attention. :)
I probably realized it in Colloquium. Also, I’m getting Haruki Murakami’s books at Borders tomorrow! Using my colloquium vouchers.
