Maxis Wireless Broadband Special Promotion! Save RM20/month!

Thursday 24 February 2011 @ 2:33 pm

Maxis LogoA staff from Maxis Telemarketing Team called me yesterday to offer a special promotion for its Wireless Broadband service, so I thought I should share it with you all as well.

In this special promotion, the price for 3GB wireless broadband package is reduced to RM48/month only (from the original price of RM68/month)!

Let me summarize the criteria you need to be eligible to enjoy the promotion :-

  • 1. A Maxis postpaid customer.
  • 2. Has been using the postpaid line for more than 12 months.
  • 3. Never subscribe to any Maxis Broadband before.

If you meet all the above 3 criteria, now is a good opportunity to subscribe the 3GB wireless broadband. Not only you’ll save RM20/month from this special promotion, below are the things you’ll get from the promotion :-

  • Enjoy up to 7.2Mbps wireless broadband speed.
  • Save RM20/month from the original price.
  • RM10 rebate for the first 5 months.
  • Free E1552 modem
  • No contract!

The free modem supports only 1 device, so if you are interested in sharing the wireless broadband connection with other devices you may want to consider getting Maxis WiFi Modem E5832.

Please note that there’s a RM100 activation fee for this special promotion, but I think it’s reasonable since you’ll be getting RM50 back from the rebate. It simply means you are paying RM50 to activate the wireless broadband service and start saving RM20 every month. :)

Please feel free to visit Maxis Wireless Broadband page or call this toll free number 1800 82 2000 for more information.

WordPress 3.1 (Reinhardt) Released

Thursday 24 February 2011 @ 1:05 am

WordPressThe long-awaited WordPress 3.1, codename Reinhardt, is finally released today. This latest version is immediately available for upgrade in the control panel (under Updates) as well as for download on wordpress.org.

There were more than 820 issues fixed in this latest release and therefore certainly improved the performance and stability. Below are the notable highlights of WordPress 3.1 :-

  • Internal Linking – click a button for an internal link and it allows you to search for a post or browse a list of existing content and select it for inclusion.
  • Admin Bar – contains various links to useful admin screens. By default, the admin bar is displayed when a user is logged in and visiting the site and is not displayed in admin screens for single blog installs. For multisite installs, the admin bar is displayed both when visiting the site and in the admin screens.
  • Streamlined Writing Interface – new users of WordPress will find the write screen much less cluttered than before, as more of the options are hidden by default. You can click on Screen Options in the top right to bring them back.
  • Post Formats – meta information that can be used by themes to customize presentation of a post. Read more in the article Post Formats.
  • Network Admin – move Super Admin menus and related pages out of the regular admin and into a new Network Admin screen.
  • List-type Admin Screens – sortable columns for list-type screens and better pagination.
  • Exporter/Importer Overhaul – many under the hood changes including adding author information, better handling for taxonomies and terms, and proper support for navigation menus.
  • Custom Content Type Improvements – allows developers to generate archive pages, and have better menu and capability controls. Read more in the article Post Types.
  • Advanced Queries – allows developers to query multiple taxonomies and custom fields.
  • Refreshed Blue Admin Color Scheme – puts the focus more squarely on your content.

So all WordPress users, it’s time to upgrade again. :)




Share Wireless Broadband Using Maxis WiFi Modem (E5832)

Wednesday 23 February 2011 @ 8:07 pm

If you are a wireless broadband user, you might come across the following situation when you want to share the broadband connection to more than 1 device. Most of the wireless broadband modems in the market allow you to make connection from only one device at one time. So if you want to access the same wireless broadband service on 2 or more devices, you’ll need unplug the modem from one device then plug it to another. This is quite inconvenient especially when you need to switch between the devices regularly.

Naughty Toys – A Stop Motion Video Shot Entirely Using Nokia N8

Thursday 3 February 2011 @ 11:55 am

After more than 2 weeks from preparation to post production, my entry for #N8Productions has finally completed. It is a stop motion video that I named it as Naughty Toys.

This 3-minute video took me more than 30 hours of photo & video shooting, a consecutive 7 days of 5 hours shooting daily. It took another 30 hours of tedious post production such as arranging the photos, video editing, sounds editing, dubbing the voices of all 8 characters, etc. A total of more than 650 photos and 20 minutes of short videos were taken to create the stop motion video.

I personally need to thank my good friend, Alex Tye, for allowing me to use his precious figures for shooting and his room as shooting venue. Another friend of mine, Jensen Woo, was very kind too to lend me some Transformers figures for practice before the shooting session. This video won’t be completed without them.

If you like the video, please feel free to visit N8 Producers page and click the “like” button to support this video.
Thanks you so much!
