KUALA LUMPUR 31 Ogos – Titisan air mata kegembiraan mengalir pada wajah Haryati Husain, 32, apabila mengetahui anaknya lahir tepat pada pukul 12 tengah malam ketika negara menyambut ulang tahun Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke-50 tengah malam tadi.

Haryati, guru di Sekolah Kebangsaan Seksyen 7, Bandar Baru Bangi, menceritakan peristiwa gembira itu ketika ditemui di Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) di sini hari ini.

Haryati tidak menyangka anak keduanya itu dilahirkan pada tarikh keramat tersebut kerana beliau dijadualkan bersalin minggu depan.

Kamen Rider The Next - 2007 (Oh yeah!)

The first teaser trailer for Toei’s upcoming theatrical film MASKED RIDER THE NEXT (Kamen Raidaa Za Nekusuto, 2007) has been released on the film’s official website. The new film is a direct sequel to MASKED RIDER THE FIRST (Kamen Raidaa Za Faasuto, 2005), featuring the return of Masked Riders 1 and 2, and the introduction of Masked Rider V3.

Just as MASKED RIDER THE FIRST was a loose re-telling of both Shotaro Ishinomori’s original manga and Toei’s MASKED RIDER (Kamen Raidaa, 1971) TV series, MASKED RIDER THE NEXT is set to re-tell the story behind Toei’s MASKED RIDER V3 (Kamen Raidaa Buisurii, 1973) TV series.

Actors Masaya Kikawada and Hassei Takano are returning from MASKED RIDER THE FIRST as Takeshi Hongo (Masked Rider 1) and Hayato Ichimonji (Masked Rider 2) respectively, while Kazuki Katou steps into the role of Shiro Kazami (Masked Rider V3). 22-year-old Katou previously appeared in the MASKED RIDER KABUTO (Kamen Raidaa Kabuto, 2006) TV series as Daisuke Kazama, the alter-ego of Masked Rider Drake, as well as the series’ accompanying theatrical film MASKED RIDER KABUTO: GOD SPEED LOVE (Kamen Raidaa Kabuto Goddo Supiido Rabu, 2006).

2 years after the events of MASKED RIDER THE FIRST, rumours are spreading of vicious murders, which are always accompanied by the song of a young pop idol named Chiharu. After Chiharu disappears, her older brother Shiro Kazami goes in search for her, and inevitably finds himself in the hands of the organization “Shocker”. It is here, where a new generation of Riders are being created, that Shiro Kazami is transformed into Masked Rider V3.

MASKED RIDER THE NEXT is set to open at theatres in Japan from October 27th 2007.

Meanwhile, MASKED RIDER THE FIRST was recently released on DVD in North America by Media Blasters.

Youtube and their Video Editing Tool! wow!

YouTube has launched a new online video editing tool called YouTube Remixer. If you've got a cheap digital camera, you're pretty much ready to upload home movies to YouTube. But if Final Cut or even Windows Movie Maker aren't your cup of tea, YouTube's new features let you do all the basics online.

YouTube Remixer lets you add text, graphics, or audio to your videos. You can also create transitions between scenes in your video.The feature looks a lot like Photobucket's "Remix" feature, which shouldn't be surprising since they share more than a name. Both are powered by Adobe Premiere Express. If you need a serious editing tool, look elsewhere (and don't really expect to find any satisfactory online solution), but for a quick nip and tuck, YouTube Remixer is a nice addition to the online video site.

Sony Vegas Requirements

A lot of people asks me what software d I use for developing montage videos. the answer is sony vegas. It used to be sonic foundry vegas but sony bought the software thus the name changed. The followings is a blog post by Eugenia about the requirements for installing the software. I hope this info will be helpful.

Don’t believe Sony’s own “minimum requirements” lists. These are sub-minimum in reality. While other NLEs are able to work with DV or HDV requiring fewer resources (e.g. iMovie is one of them), Vegas is a beast (although it is not as demanding as Premiere/AfterEffects). Here’s what you need to work without headaches:

For miniDV (720x480i, Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8 ):

- Any CPU released after 2003.
- 1 GB RAM minimum (1.5 GBs will be optimal).
- 120+ GB IDE NTFS-formatted hard drive (don’t forget to delete your temp/storage files after rendering the final).
- Windows XP. Their version 8 software doesn’t work perfectly on Vista yet.
- Any DirectX 9+ 64MB+ graphics card.
- A 1440x900 LCD monitor or above (1280x1024 will be pushing it to fit the UI).
- In the Settings/Video preference panel, make sure the “dynamic RAM” is set to 256 MBs.

For HDV (1440x1080i, Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum):

- Any CoreDuo or higher CPU (basically, any CPU developed on 2006 onwards that was not a Celeron-class). My own 3 Ghz P4-Hyperthreaded CPU from March 2005 is pushing its limits with HDV on Vegas.
- 2 GB RAM minimum (3 GBs will be optimal).
- Two SATA NTFS-formatted hard drives. The system 120+ GB drive will hold the “temp” files, while all other work, rendering and archiving should be done on the second, 500 GB SATA disk.
- Windows XP Pro. Their version 8 software doesn’t work perfectly on Vista yet.
- Any DirectX 9+ 128MB+ graphics card.
- A 1680x1050 LCD monitor.
- In the Settings/Video preference panel, make sure the “dynamic RAM” is set to 512 MBs.
- A PCI/PCI-express sound card (meaning, not on-board AC-97 crap).

For full HD (1920x1080p, Sony Vegas 7):

- The highest-end CPU(s) you can find in the market.
- 4 GB RAM.
- Two SATA NTFS-formatted hard drives. The system 250 GB drive will hold the “temp” files, while all other work, rendering and archiving should be done one the second, 500 GB SATA disk.
- Windows XP Pro. Their version 8 software doesn’t work perfectly on Vista yet.
- Any DirectX 9+ 128MB+ graphics card.
- A 1680x1050 LCD monitor or above.
- In the Settings/Video preference panel, make sure the “dynamic RAM” is set to 768 MBs.
- A good PCI/PCI-express sound card.

Google TiSP ! Is This For Real!!!??!!

Google TiSP (BETA) is a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines.

Installing a typical home TiSP system is a quick, easy and largely sanitary process -- provided you follow these step-by-step instructions very, very carefully.

#1 Remove the spindle of fiber-optic cable from your TiSP installation kit. #2 Attach the sinker to the loose end of the cable, take one safe step backward and drop this weighted end into your toilet.

#3 Grasp both ends of the spindle firmly while a friend or loved one flushes, thus activating the patented GFlush™ system, which sends the weighted cable surfing through the plumbing system to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes. #4 When the GFlush is complete, the spindle will (or at least should) have largely unraveled, exposing a connector at the remaining end. Detach the cable from the spindle, taking care not to allow the cable to slip into the toilet.

#5 Plug the fiber-optic cable into your TiSP wireless router, which has a specially designed counterweight to withstand the centripetal force of flushing. #6 Insert the TiSP installation CD and run the setup utility to install the Google Toolbar (required) and the rest of the TiSP software, which will automatically configure your computer's network settings.

#7 Within sixty minutes -- assuming proper data flow -- the other end of your fiber-optic cable should have reached the nearest TiSP Access Node, where our Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) will remove the sinker and plug the line into our global data networking system. #8 Congratulations, you're online! (Please wash your hands before surfing.)

Note: If you have any difficulty installing, operating or simply living with TiSP, we suggest joining the TiSP Help Group.

Professional Installation Service
You can also choose to request our professional installation service, which dispatches an army of factory-trained, sub-contracted nanobots from the TiSP Access Node. The nanobots travel with exhilarating nano-speed through the sewer system and into your home to perform the installation service, which should be complete within 15 minutes. Note: For your own physical safety and emotional well-being and in consideration of the nanobots' working conditions, please make absolutely certain that your toilet is unoccupied at the scheduled appointment time.

In-Commode Package Delivery
With professional installation service, you can also have your Google Checkout purchases delivered directly through the sewage network into your bathroom. Each package comes pre-sealed in a watertight and nanobot-resistant bag made of biodegradable corn-based plastic. For a limited time, TiSP subscribers who sign up for a Checkout account will receive free bathroom delivery on their first ten Checkout purchases.

TiSP for Enterprise
We're actively developing a higher-performance version of TiSP specifically tailored to small and medium-sized businesses, including 24-hour, on-site technical support in the event of backup problems, brownouts and data wipes.

the road tax and the montage

About a month ago I was having problems with my motorbike; I have not renew my road tax.. and there are some parts of my motorbike was not in a good condition..

To renew my road tax I have to spend about RM200++ and another few hundred to repair my motorbike.. I was broke back then.. I need to wait for my first payment..

Then I got lucky, I got 2 orders to make a video montage and they paid me..one is for a wedding ceremony and the other one was a farewell party..

I thank god for the "Rezeki" and now I can renew my road tax and repair my motorbike... here's a picture of my KRISS2 and my helmet (Again?!! haha..)

Last night was the last Friday Night I spend in Taman Universiti Indah, Seri Kembangan Selangor... because next week I am moving to a new address in Subang Jaya (USJ2). So I snap a picture, a scene of a local Night Market in Serdang.. I do not know if I can go to the Serdang night market again in the future...

Busy week.. two more videos..

Great comments from the viewers and I want to thank a lot for those who have given me all the support. Here is a snapshot of the videos in progress..:) (I will post the videos in the next posts!)

Currently I am busy on a new wedding video for my lecturer..really like doing the video.... I hope I can finish it as soon as possible as I have many other thinngs to do..I dont know if I got the energy or not..

The Rain

It was raining around 6-7pm yesterday. Which is good news for me and my neighbours as it was very hot for the past few days.. sometimes I couldnt sleep at night...

But the bad news was, I was all wet when I got home.. I ride my motorcycle remember? :(

The video was recorded just after I arrived at home. it was he backdoor of my home... I'll be missing it since I am moving to a new address next month..

My ARC Zitro Helmet..

When I first got my job, one of my problem is transportation.. My Office is situated in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia...

At first I want to use the public transport, but it took almost 2 hours and vast amount of energy out of me.. then I decided to ride my Motorcycle.. (KRISS 2) ... but the problem was, I have no helmet at that time..

So I cashed my savings for my new helmet, called the ARC Zitro.. You wont find this images in the internet...well not just yet when I posted this entry.. I think it would be nice for me to upload the pictures... :)

And since I'm a huge fan of Superman, I put a Superman Sticker on the back side of the helmet.. Nice eh? :D

Dengue Fever (Demam Denggi) in Taman Universiti Indah.

Today I've read an advertisement I found in my mailbox saying that there will be community campaign about the dengue fever (also called Demam Denggi by my local community). The dengue cases in the local sorrounding area has increased to 40 cases in just 6 weeks.the normal rate would be 20 cases in a year.

So I attended the campaign and get a lot of useful inputs.. it was held in one of my neighbour's home ... he voilunteered his house to be the campaign venue. The talk was delivered by the "Pegawai" from "Jabatan Kesihatan Daerah Petaling" and also MPSJ(Majlis perbandaran Subang Jaya)

Also attended the campaign was the representative of YB Dato' Liew Yuen Keong, Adun for Seri Kembangan.

The video was recorded during the speech. it was in Malay and Mandarin.. Sorry as the video is a bit blurr, but atleast there's something for you to watch :)
