I have recently uploaded some 3D Java games for Nokia N95 and N73. A few people asked me about Sony Ericsson games too. So for those who asked me, here are some Java games for Sony Ericsson although the list is not as big as Nokia. But I'll try to gather more and will upload more. So come and check again. They should be compatible with K790I, K800I, W900I and more. Have fun!!!

Ferrari Enzo has always been one of my dream sport cars. Only 400 were manufactured.


The Enzo can accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.14 seconds and can reach 100 mph (160 km/h) in 6.6 seconds. The ¼ mile (~400 m) time is from 10.8 to 11.2 sec at well over 130 mph (210 km/h) and the top speed is estimated at 354 kilometers per hour (230.95 mph). It is rated at 12 mpg–U.S. (19.6 L/100 km / 14.4 mpg–imp) in the city and 18 mpg–U.S. (13.07 L/100 km / 21.6 mpg–imp) on the highway.

Would-be-first-home-buyers across Australia will be able to take advantage of the Federal Government's first home saver accounts from today.

The accounts will be offered by major financial institutions across the country, including ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, AMP, Members Equity and several credit unions.

Here are some key facts

  • No minimum deposit required to open account
  • Limit of $75,000 on overall account balance
  • Flat Government contribution of 17% paid on first $5,000 of individual contributions made each year (you could get max $850 a year for free)
  • Government contributions are tax free
  • Interest earned taxed at 15% (the provider is responsible to pay so they will work out the effective interest for you)
  • Can still claim the First Home Buyers Grant in addition
  • Available through public-offer superannuation providers, life insurers, friendly societies, banks, building societies and credit unions

Potential drawbacks
  • You must contribute at least $1,000 in at least four separate financial years before you can withdraw your funds
  • You must use your fund to purchase or build a new home. The only alternative is to switch the entire amount into your superannuation fund
  • You must live in the home for at least 6 months within the first 12 months of purchase or completion of construction

To find out more about the FHSA, you can also visit the Government’s website.

I recently found a web site called Dhammaransi which has been set up by a group of youth Buddhists in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. To tell the truth, I was very impressed with their efforts to share Dhamma books (ebooks), MP3 and videos of famous and leading monks from Burma. I'm so glad that young people are interested in Buddha's dhammas. You will find Dhamma from Mogok, Sitagu (Thitagu), Aung San, Mahasi, Mahargandaryone, Cham Myaet, Ashin Zawana and many Sayadaws in the list. The best news is the list is still growing.

Just check out by yourself here (http://www.dhammaransi.net/). I give my best wishes to every contributor.



Today whenever I opened Word 2003, the blank document did not have the top margin at all. So the cursor started from the very top border of the page (see pictures below).

This is what it looked like
Missing Margin Word
instead of this
Word Normal Margin

  • In Word, go to "Tools" - "Options" - "View" tab.
  • Under "Print and Web Options", check "White space between pages (Print view only)"

By the way, although this problem was nothing to do with Normal.dot, if you ever have such format problems, deleting Normal.dot sometimes fixes the problem.

Nokia N95 and Nokia N95 8GB are two of the best phones produced by Nokia. They have big screens, great cameras, great sound and you can install many applications and games. Here is a Java games collection for Nokia N95 and Nokia N95 8GB mobile phones. I haven't played all games yet so some games might not work, but most do. I only tested them on N95 8GB but they might work on other Nokia N-series phones too (eg N73, etc). I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The games are organised alphabetically. Click on the each alphabet on top of each list to download the related games.

A few days ago, my PC got infected with a Trojan Horse. It kind of bypassed Trend Micro Officescan. Trend Micro could only detect and block the internet access for the Trojan, but it didn't remove the virus.

So I downloaded AVG Anti-Virus Free version and scanned the PC. AVG detected the virus (Trojan Horse PSW.Agent.7.L , a type of Win32 Trojan W32.Popwin by Symantec Norton's term, in the form of auto.exe) in all partitions and USB drives too, and it removed them. However, I had to remove other associated files and fix the registry settings manually. It took me many hours to remove it.

The symptoms of the Trojan are:

  1. A pop up might show up unusually from a pop-up free site such as Google.

  2. A warning message asking you to install a spyware detection tool might come up.

  3. If you check the process list by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete, you will see a process with 8 random character name.

  4. When you right-click your hard drives, the first item you see is "Auto" instead of "Open".

  5. You cannot view hidden files by changing the settings from Tools >> Folder Options >> View >> check "Show hidden files and folders". It will go back to "Do not show hidden files and folders" option as soon as you close the Folder Options.

Security scanners that can see through passengers' clothing and reveal details such as their sex organs, colostomy bags and breast size, are being installed in 10 US airports.

A random selection of travellers getting ready to board airplanes in Washington, New York's Kennedy, Los Angeles and other key hubs will be shut in the glass booths while a three-dimensional image is made of their body beneath their clothes.

While it allows the security screeners - looking at the images in a separate room - to clearly see the passenger's sexual organs as well as other details of their bodies, the passenger's face is blurred, TSA said.

TSA foresees 30 of the machines installed across the country by the end of 2008. In Europe, Amsterdam's Schipol airport is already using the scanners.

I think there is always a trade-off between security and privacy. I hope they know what they are doing.

While the Burmese government is not doing enough to help the cyclone victims, Telstra has offered free calls to Burma from your land line.

Australians can use their home phone to contact friends and family in Burma without charge from Saturday until midnight (AEST) on Monday, May 19.

The free period started at midnight, meaning calls made on Saturday morning would also be free.

If any caller was inadvertently billed during the free period they should contact Telstra for a refund.

I wish all victims can recover soon.

Magic Eyes in Text

Posted by Swanie | 14.3.08 | | 0 comments »

This magic eye is fantastic. I've never seen any such 3D effects in text, only in graphics such as this. I love it.

Tip: Watch it with crossed eyes and adjust your eyes a bit until it becomes two layers.

Would you believe that it's easier to open a credit card account than to close one?

I heard stories from some of my friends complaining about the banks questioning them whenever they wanted to close a credit card account. But I didn't experience it until last weekend. I have an extra credit card that I got last year just to take advantage of 0% balance transfer offer from a bank I don't want to name. I want to close it now because it has been nearly a year and they are going charge me annual fees. Also the balance transfer was finished months ago. I hardly used that card.

So I went to the bank on weekend to close the account. I was asked why I wanted to close it. After that, the lady tried to ring a department in charge of credit cards, I suppose. Later I was told that the department was closed on weekends and I needed to come back on weekdays.

  1. Banks want you to keep in debt especially via credit cards because they carry high interests. They wouldn't be that eager if I were closing a saving account (I don't have millions).

  2. You can and should negotiate with banks if you have loans with them. You'll be quite surprised how much you can save by negotiating.


Note: I do pay back anything I owe on time, so they are not earning interests from me either.

While you're working with your computer, Windows crushed and you get the following message to choose whether to report the error to Microsoft or not.


Microsoft Office Program has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.

Restart Office Program

For more information about this error, click here.

Although it may be useful for Microsoft to fix the bugs, I personally don't like it because :
  • it is annoying to see the message pops up all the time; and

  • I don't know what kind of personal data it will send to Microsoft.


You can choose to disable error reporting totally. Here are the steps to do that.

Layout in the Beta Blogger is quite a complicated process. It's very different from the old layout and your previous knowledge of HTML too.

This morning I wanted to add a meta tag in the new Beta. I generated the meta tag with Any Browser. But whenever I inserted the tags to the new template, it showed an error message saying "Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The element type "meta" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "" .

After trying for many times, I found out that I needed "/>" instead of ">". Who would have thought that it was necessary? I wonder if it is part of XML, the area which is new to me.

Emotiv EPOC "brain-computer interface device", a neuroheadset that allows the wearer to play videogames simply by thinking has been unveiled at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco and will go on sale in late 2008.

The Emotiv EPOC has 14 neurosensors that branch off it like fingers sitting on the sides of the temple and top of the head.

The device can detect conscious thoughts, areas of brain activity, facial expressions and even some emotions such as frustration, shock and anger, and will cost about $US300 when it is released.

I can't wait to see it!!!



Useful Homepage

Posted by Swanie | 16.2.08 | | 0 comments »

What is your current browser homepage?

A lot of people use MSN as default homepage, which is set by Microsoft when you install Internet Explorer. The users of other browsers might probably be using default homepages most of the time. Or the manufacturers’ sites such as Dell, etc. Is that the most efficient way?

I personally believe there are many downsides with using default homepages. First of all, when you open your browser, your default homepage may not be the page you want to go. You will have to type the address (or choose from Favorites list) for your destination page. It takes time – at least a few seconds of your precious time.

Secondly, it takes a while to download and display your homepage especially if you’re using slow connection or the destination sever is busy. There goes your precious time again every time you open a browser.

Some of you might choose ‘Blank’ homepage to work around. But in that case the “Home” button from your browsers becomes useless as you’ll see only a blank page if you click it.

Why don’t you create a HTML page for your own homepage? You can put a list of all the sites you visit daily there such as news, banks, schools, emails, blogs, etc. You can also categorise the links. All you need is a program like Front Page. You still can use Word if you don’t have Front Page (just save it as Web Page instead of doc). Here are the steps.


  1. Create the list of all the sites you visit daily in Front Page with the links.


  2. Save it to somewhere safe. C:\ will do. Let’s say the file name is myhomepage.html .


  3. Open myhomepage.html and choose Tools > Internet Options > General. Click “Use Current”.


Now you’ll have your own customised homepage that is faster to load and more useful than most of the default homepages.

Let me know how it is.

Note: You can put Wikipedia search box, etc too.



By default, Windows XP Start menu has got some delay to respond your cursor. Here is a simple registry tweak to remove (or reduce) the delay.

  1. Click "Start"
  2. Choose "Run"
  3. Type "regedit" without the quotes
  4. Go to the registry location "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" and find "MenuShowDelay". (If it doesn't exist, create new with this value name and String data type.)
  5. Open it and change value data to "0" instead of default value "400". (You can choose 100 if you don't want it to respond too fast)
  6. Reboot your PC

    Note: You should keep a backup of your registry before doing any changes.



Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small.

Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion.

"If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds".

Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts.

"How long will this take?" I asked.

"They will grow larger over a period of years," my husband replies.

I stopped. "Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?"

Without missing a beat he says, "Worked for your butt, didn't it?"

He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy, he may even walk again.
Although he will probably continue to take his meals through a straw.



I am sure most of you must have used Skype at least once. But I think many Skype users do not use Skype with a cordless phone. Here is a technique I’ve been using with Skype for more than a year. Try it and it can save you a lot, and you don’t have to sit in front of your PC any more.

You only need two things: a USB Skype VoIP to PSTN (RJ11) adapter (shown in picture) and a cordless phone. It doesn’t cost a lot. I paid less than $60 for both.

  1. Install the driver for the Skype adapter.

  2. Connect the Skype adapter to your PC/Laptop with a USB cable.

  3. Connect the cordless phone to the adapter and it’s ready to use. (You can connect your landline (PSTN) to the adapter too to receive normal incoming calls.)


Here are some of the benefits you can get (although some of them may differ in each model).
  1. Make/receive calls from Skype in the same way you use a cordless phone.

  2. No need to be in front of the computer.

  3. You can easily hear when someone calls you from Skype.

  4. Assign hot keys for your friends in Skype and just press them to call your friends from Skype.

  5. Call Hold function for answering the calls from PSTN.

  6. Multiple VoIP applications that you can choose by hot keys, and
  7. Last but not least less phone bill and more contact with your friends & loved ones.


Important: Check system requirements carefully before you buy!!!
