My wireless broadband connection is majorly flaking lately and I’ve been considering switching to another provider. But what to do with my Huawei E1550 USB modem which is SIM-locked to my current provider? Why, unlock it, of course!

Today is our wedding anniversary and I surprised Michelle with a Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor. Jeanne has been eating solid foods and has recently moved on from fruits like papaya and banana to cooked foods like potatoes and squash. Although relatively soft when cooked, they still require quite an effort to mash. I figured a food processor is in order.
During dinner, Michelle was giving Jeanne a bit of her favorite orange juice when we heard a tiny tinkling sound. We’re not sure what we heard so we let her drink again, and there was the tinkling sound again! We checked her lower jaw and, with some difficulty, found two teensy weensy teeth just coming out! Jeanne’s first teeth!
Happy Fathers’ Day!
Michelle surprised me this morning with every man’s dream Fathers’ Day gift: A toolbox! And it comes with some screwdrivers and hex wrenches, too! Perfect for holding my growing collection of tools!
Love you, babe! :*
A few days ago, I found out about a new firmware update for the Buffalo Linkstation Live. I was able to download it right away but I postponed updating until I was less busy. Tonight, I finally updated and, aside from a handful of changes (read the details in the release notes), the most significant difference is the BitTorrent client. Instead of the clunky (but functional) client, it is now µTorrent which just happens to be my preferred BitTorrent client. And best of all, it continues the incomplete torrents of the old client. Absolutely great!
It’s a shame that subtitled movies don’t make too much in local cinemas because this means few, if any, subtitled movies end up being shown. This means most people end up with just local movies (which have a long way to go) and the usual Hollywood fare. Unfortunately, they’re missing out on a lot because there’s a whole bunch of good foreign language movies out there, French, Chinese, Korean, and even, in this case, is Swedish.
It’s a good thing you have a choice and don’t have to rely on the local cinemas. With a little bit of application of technology here and there, you can enjoy foreign language movies in the comfort of your own home. I’m talking DVDs and BluRays here :|
James and I finally finished playing Resident Evil 5. This is the 5th installment of the Resident Evil series but I haven’t actually played any of the previous games. So I started this with a clean expectations and a pretty open mind. Of course, this didn’t help making the storyline any clearer. As I said in my review of Metal Gear Solid 4, there’s something about Japanese story lines that make them convoluted and, sometimes, even incomprehensible.
The kitchen sink at home developed a leak. It turned out that the cold water supply hose had deteriorated and was leaking. Because I didn’t have time to look closer, I just closed the water supply valve to the sink and asked Michelle to buy a new hose. The next day, she bought a 1/2″ to 1/2″ hose which according to the salespeople at the hardware store is the normal sink hose. But when I looked under the sink, it didn’t look like it will fit the faucet end at all.
No, this is not Jay going back to driving school. It’s me, Michelle.
Yesterday, I was so excited knowing that I’ll be driving the next day. Though I’ve read the really old Defensive Driving book, that James dug out from somewhere under all the stuff at the QC apartment, I thought I’d learn more of the basic things from the A1 book. Luckily, I was able to persuade Jay that I need to buy it.
So, I bought the manual for P400 and read until Chapter 2 which is the orientation. When I got home, I continued and stopped at Chapter 3: Defensive Driving since Jeanne is already sleepy, which means she needs to fed and I’d also be sleepy soon after. Set my alarm to 5:10 am…
