I recently downloaded windows 7, the free release candidate version provided by microsoft.com, in fairness to this version, although it has some flaws, it’s more of a better and faster running version of windows vista. With the same aero glassy graphical user interface, but with many other functions. However, if your computer meets only the basic requirements, or do not meet the requirements, you may not experience the real power of windows 7.

The download took more than a couple of hours for me, but the speed and download time varies, depending on the current speed that you have. It could take less that a couple of hours if you have 3 mbps connection and up, and probably 3 hours or more if you have a less than 2 mbps connection.

The installation time amazed me, it only took a few minutes, and windows 7 was up and running. So, I expect that when the full version is released, with the OS media, installation is a breeze. One thing that I’d like to give MS a credit. Because installation of operating systems used to take such a long time, but with the current development, I guess they are going the right direction this time. I must say, Windows 7 is a fast working, good looking, and an improved OS.

MS and other Original Equipment Manufacturers just have to work on updating and having supported drivers. I am expecting a release of multitude of hotfixes soon, and hopefully it would cover up all the other hardware and software issues.  I want to see windows 7 develop until they release the full version. And so far, I’m ok with it, I am still lookiong forward to more though.

The song Leaving on a jet plane is now playing in my head. Just hearing of the great news makes me want to pack my bag and book on the next flight to Bangkok or Singapore to meet up with friends, or simply enjoy some time away, leave all the chaotic life and crazy things behind. I’m sure all those adventurous  and nomadic people like me are already going crazy over the big sale!

I wonder if you’ve heard about the big buzz yet. This is almost unbelievable but true, now you have a bigger chance to travel your Asia Pacific dream vacation destination with  such very low hotel rates. You can choose to explore any of the 27 city destinations which includes Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Manila, and even Auckland and Sydney in Australia and enjoy your vacation, without spending too much on your stay at the hotel. Meaning you get to shop more, or spend your money to tour around because you can get the best accommodation for super reduced rates. This is made possible  through Accor Hotels City Super Sale rates.

So if you plan to travel here in the Asia Pacific, you better book on-line between 23 – 29 June, for your trips between July 10 and September 30, 2009.  You can save up to 60%  on your hotel rates because there are over 250,000 room nights that Accor is putting on sale. The rates could go as low as US$25 per night. Can you believe that? Amazing, right?

What are you waiting for? You better log-on and do the booking now before all the participating Accor hotels get fully booked.

Astroboy Shirt

Yeah! That’s Astro Boy, the old school japanese animated version. He is one of my favorite characters. I designed this Astro Boy vintage shirt myself too. What do you think about it?

When we were young, my uncle bought me and my cousins Astro boy merchandise, from shoes, school bags, notebooks with Astro boy picture covers, caps and shirts. For me and my cousins, he is one of the coolest, just like Voltes 5, Gundam and transformers. Even now that I am an adult, I am still an Astro boy fan. I like his character because even if he is an Aritificial Intelligence robot, he has a heart, and that’s what makes him different. Sometimes he is even more human than the real humans, who would rather do crimes in the society.

Finally, Astroboy is coming to the big screen soon. I can’t wait to watch the movie. Although the Astro boy in the movie looks a bit different from the original character, I still like it because it is still Astro boy.

I just finished playing this free to sign-up multiplayer billiards game online at multiplayer games,8c1.net.http://www.8c1.net.

I invited a friend to sign-up. We tried to figure it out at first.  To test if it works, I played a match with the computer first and then we finally got to figure out how to play against each other. We played a few rounds of 8 ball game for a bit and it was fun.

The billiards table simulates a real one and the interface is pretty simple, but I like it that way.  However if it is your first time you may get a little confused on how to control it, but after a few hits you will finally get to control the  game, the strength of your strikes and hit the ball right.

For a free game, it is very good. You  can talk to the people inside the room through chat too, which is cool. If you want to spend some time with your online friends, you can chat while playing billiards and have fun.
