After my first general review on my new Sony Ericsson W960i, I’d like to share about the WLAN feature (which makes it different from W950). I happened to have wireless internet router at home (WRT54GL) so I tried to use it for connecting my W960i to the Internet. There are some settings which must be filled, including IP address, gateway (router’s IP) and DNS address (I use opendns, check www.opendns.com). After I set the connection setting (Tools > control panel > connections > WLAN), I tried to open the default browser of the W960i (we can also use opera mini or mobile opera which is paid version) and fill in the web address (at that time it was www.yahoo.com). Amazingly, I just got connected with yahoo as if I use my personal computer / laptop.

Have you ever imagine, living in a solitary condition, no one else besides you and you have to survive your live with any means necessary? I bet you would never have a gut to even imagining that. This situation is greatly depicted in Will Smith’s movie, “I am Legend”, where he has to live alone after the entire town of New York (or even the whole world) has been severely infected by lethal virus which causes the infected people got mad and become a cannibal. Actually, Will is not all alone in the real sense because he is surrounded by infected people who only show up at night (this is the effect of virus which causes human body could no longer bear the sunlight).

This time I want to write about a forum I recently joined. It’s Digital Point. It is a forum which is specially designed for webmasters and web developers who want to share their know-how and skills in building and creating a good website, even a money generating website (internet marketing). I see this website has a great design and layout using its latest VBulletin 3.6.8. The forum loads fast because I don’t see any image content in the post, and it’s easy to post and create thread because there is a FAQ guideline each time we want to make a post or thread. Per February 12, 2008 it has 677,481 threads, 6,324,779 posts, 138,101 members, and 46,944 active members. Green color of the VBulletin template is very eyes friendly, plus good categorization of sub forums. One thing which is I considered as the negative aspect of this forum: The moderators there are too strict to the members, even after 10 minutes of posting, people could be banned for certain reasons. I guess this is for the good of the forum so I have to be very careful when do the posting.

Recenty I bough my new handphone Sony Erricsson W960i replacing my old W810i. This handphone is categorized as smart phone as it has various features which could be said SMART, starting from its prominent Walkman feature with 8Gb of internal memory, up to organizer that really helpful for my everyday activities. The 8gb internal memory could be loaded up to 1500 mp3! With great headset, make it comparable to iPod. I have 80Gb classic Ipod but I think the bass quality cannot supersede this W960i. However, Ipod still win in the sound-staging quality.

Why i like it so much despite my Ipod is that it has touch screen feature so that I don’t need to use my thumb when doing my ritual (short messaging service activities). I just need to use it’s stylus and get my style so I can get familiar with the style recognized by W960i. It wasn’t easy at first, however after some days using the stylus, now I already get used to it and just like using pen when doing my messaging ritual. Great handphone!

Yes, this is the unforgettable movies I ever seen. That’s why I put it in the first movie review. It is a war movie, which took the World War II setting which is always be a hot topic of every movies and games world. This movie told about a story of a search for a soldier named Private Ryan, by a team from Second Ranger Battallion led by Captain John Miller.

The most exciting scene on this movies was the initial landing on the Normandy Beach and the sniper’s act. It was so touching that there were also the game version of the scene (Medal of Honor Series). And the scene of Normandy Beach was presicely depicted on the game scene.
