Raspberry Pi Case

 i dont know whether you guys still remember this, or ever used this :D . But i found one at my house. the base box gave me an idea that i should build my raspberry pi's case around it. since the box is a little bigger than the raspi board, it simply provide me with an ample room to incorporate a 16x2 display into it. now i no longer need to plug it into my tv to get the ip address like before

Before 

everything is left in open air. with cable going on every side of the board

After

now it is much easier is my router somehow assign new ipAddress to my Raspberry Pi.

some more pics

routing the usb port to the back of the case. worst soldering ever. i dont know why my hand wont stop shaking while doing this.

 the board mount is made from scrap plastic leftover of my previous pc build. thanks to Mr. Epoxy for holding all the plastic pieces securely :D

[ last peek before it is closed for good.  the gpio>lcd cable are all soldered (got no time to test it on breadboard, i simply soldered it directly)  lol!

Raspberry Pi

Huih lama suda xpost kt cni...

Hari ni nk citer pasal Raspberry Pi ni.. Punya la lama menunggu last dpt jugak beli nih..
Tuk pengetahuan semua, Raspberry Pi ni lebih krg mcm komputer yg complete jgk la, ada processor n ram sume atas board tu jd tinggal nk beli sdcard je nk suh dia run.

Takat ni aku ada beberapa idea tuk Raspberry Pi nih, n sume da siap setup and running 24/7..

1. Samba Server = share media yg ada dlm ext hard disk
2. XBMC = media player, gpu mende ni boleh tahan. Boleh play 1080p video
3. torrent downloader/seeder.

ape yg buat aku impressed sgt ngan mende ni adalah dia punya power consumption. Ada user yg report ckp mende ni consume ~2watts. so kalau tmbah external hdd(2.5watt) tu adalah kot dlm ~5watt. Tuk perbandingan, normal light bulb fluorescent skrang ni secara average nye guna dlm 26-36watt, so kira mende ni sgt la jimat letrik. PC = 20-30watt klu xde "load" mcm game. klu main game sng2 je cecah 200-300 watt.

Specs:
CPU : Broadcom 700 MHz 
GPU : VideoCore IV 250MHz
RAM : 256Mb
Connector : HDMIx1, RCAx1, 3.55mm Audio jack, Ethernet, USB2.0x2, mini usb(power), sd card reader. 

 

                                                  Booting Raspbian(based on Debian Linux)
                                    
   Tpi Raspberry Pi ni bukan tuk semua lapisan masyrakat, di sebabkn processor yg slow tu, nk run desktop environment (lxde) akn buat dia sgt lmbb. i'm talking about when you click, you need to wait another 5sec for an app to load. So, jalan terbaik adalah operate Raspberry Pi ni dari command line interface CLI . xde la nk "drag n drop" "click2 here n there" "pinch to zoom", everything is done via text input from user.

Bg yg nak beli, anda boleh la dptkn kt di sini dgn harga RM111. Company Element 14 ni boleh respect la, aku bayar thru Maybank2U pastu update payment around 3ptg(lambat), tpi tnpa di sangka2 brg smpai keesokan harinya pkul 11 pg. cepat! Ada company kdg2 klu lmbt update payment dia ship out je hari seterusnya.

Tom Yam

Memang lumrah kehidupan bukan semua yang kita nak kita akan dapat..
bila da xdapat 2 pandai2 la redha dgn ketentuan-Nya ade hikmahnyer 2 :-)
bukan susah, tapi xmudah jugak

contohnyer cam gas kt dapur ni.. time gas banyak, slalu jer dengar budak gas lalu depan uma tpi bile gas da abes ni, harem btg hidung budak2 2 pun xnmpak..

jadi nk mengelak kebuluran tpakse la ikhtiar..

tepakse guna Rice Cooker nk masak tom yam
kt Iraq, Afghanistan dorg guna IED(improvised explosive device)
kt mesir aku guna ICD (improvised cooking device)
thanks to amir sebab bg aku guna bilik dia untuk menumis dan memasak smbil dia tido :p

Barber

Aku: potong blakang pendek, tepi ptong pendek, atas potong sket jer, sideburn takat ni.

Barber guy: Pendek??Aku: err, potong skit jer la.

lastly, secare automatik rmbut aku yg tinggal sikit bukan potong skit.

masalah btul barber ni, panjang instruction aku bg last2 yg dia dengar "pendek" jer. :-) ni yg aku hadapi sejak 20 thun dulu kowt. nk pegi saloon bgai mmg xde duit la, so jz just stick kt barber ni la. :)

pape pun thanks barber guy sbb kasi rmbut/imej aku maintain skema2-lelaki-bermoral sepanjang 20 tahun ni. :D kdg2 suka gak imej ni :p

Crysis 2 fix (cutscene not playing)

For those who could not wait for a few more weeks to play the Crysis 2 i'm sure you faced the same problem as i do while playing the Beta leak of the game(cutscene error)

Here's the fix, i discovered it by chance while trying to get the cutscene to play:
1. Run the game in "windowed mode"
2. press "ctrl+alt+del" when your computer get stuck to play the cutscene. select Task manager
3. when the task manager appeared, it will be on top of the Crysis 2 window, just wait a little bit longer and the cutscene should be playing by now w/o sound.
4.to get the sound, click on the crysis 2 window to make it on top of the task manager.

Enjoy!

Me: Its a Feature, not bug or defective unit... Cerita Pasal bola

Its me, Its ok to be different

Dikala remaja2 lain melepak rmai2 tgk bola.. aku cm biase la mengasingkan diri. kate la kaki bangku, kaki sofa, kaki krusi plastik. aku ttp sama.

Dri kecik bila time PJ, Org lain kejar bola sebijik kt tgh pdg. dorg susa payah nk rebut bola, bola sng2 jer dtg kt aku. tpi kbolehan yg aku miliki buat aku pantas mengelak bola tuh. :-p

bola boley dikatakan sebagai allergi/alahan..

biler membe start jer ckp pasal bola, mulut aku trus bisu/kuar bunyi static mcm radio xtune..

bukan benci, tpi xboley masuk.. nk buat cm ner kn..


*p/s

*mebi ade yg ckp aku ni defective unit(laki pe xmain bola??) DGR cni, its an added Feature ok! bukan defective unit/bug..

*phobia aku kt bola bkn stakat kt bola sepak, phobia ni trus merangkumi setiap sukan yg guna bola.

*fish ball, ketam ball, meat ball OK.. tiada allergi disitu selagi xde org cuba main bola sepak dgn ball2 tersebut.

Desktop baru

Mcm biase setiap kli blik uma, nk x nk akan juga blik kampung aku kt Low Yat.. Kali ni shopping sakan, beli desktop baru. upgrade desktop kt uma yg meletup disambar petir thun lepas.. xpower, tpi ckup la klu nk layan 720p hd video.

Spec:
1. Intel D410PT with Intel atom D410 processor= RM 185
2. Kingston DDR2 800 1Gb = RM 45
3. mini itx Casing+Psu = RM 139
4. 80 Gb Hard Disk= gune hard disk yg da lame tersadai.

total: RM 369

P/S:
*asalnyer nk lg murah, xnk beli casing n letak jer motherboard dlm kotak kadbod.
*2.5" punya hard drive buley masok kt sata punya psu w/o voltage prob mcm sesetengah pihak dakwa. kononnya psu 2 deliver 12v dan bukannya 5v(puas tnye org lowyat, sekor pun xtau. last eksperimen la)
*ikot sata power cable datasheet, 3.3v, 5v, 12v di support n magically its automatically selected bila di-connect.(jimat duit disitu sbb aku ade 2.5" hd yg da lame tsadai)
