Messing around with some library and files permission.

But at the end, just a simple solution suggested online, that removing the 2 files in ~/.Skype and restart Skype do the tricks !!

Before removing, backup first as I do not provide any warranty

Go to the hidden folder in terminal :

#cd ~/.Skype
#sudo rm shared.lck
#sudo rm shared.xml

Then login again, as mine works as usual after this fix.

Hope this help out someone who might face the same problems !

But after going into details to look for which one better suit my needs, I only came to realize that there simply are just too many choices, that I myself are confuse now !!

The deeper I dig, the more I get confuse !

I mainly wanted one with great portability with long battery life.

But I occasionally need the CD/DVD burner.

However, I just realize that I actually seldom burn disc on the go.

Therefore, a netbook is also suitable for me.

And accidentally, I came across that someone has actually successfully installing MAC OS on many platform and different model of laptop, that get me even more excitely………..but more confuse also

I do not agree nor encourage pirating, but the video below with a MSI Wind netbook is very interesting indeed !!

So……………which one should I buy

Then finally I screw up, and was not able to use the HDD for quite some time.

But today have the time, and I take out the DISK for further torturing

Finally I found MBRWiz, a free tool that is offer by the generous author here : http://mirror.href.com/thestarman/asm/mbr/BootToolsRefs.htm

I hope someone who are facing the same problems would find this little piece of DOS software useful as well.

It looks quite messy though, cos I am very lazy to re-organise the cable….cos too many of them !!

Anyway, I use it as FTP and SAMBA mainly, keep most of my big files and backup for those important documents.

Backup, backup and backup is one of the hard lessons that I have learned previously, so I hope this will avoid me going through the same lesson again

On the other hand, with some software like VLC, foobar and many other that support media streaming, I could also play music or video through the network, and you can stream it anywhere, as you as you could connect to the router either by LAN cable or wirelessly.

This is especially useful if you have a lot of APE or CUE music files that is expanding continously !

Couple with LARGE and CHEAP LCD TV today, setting up a network home media center seems getting very simple now !

If control with a wireless keyboard with TV/DVD remote function, that would be great then

But as general, many working people who runs a family, are also very tight financially.

As a country as a whole, comparing our surrounding neighboring country, like Singapore, Hong Kong or even Japan, how far are we from them ??

With inflation getting so serious now a days, are we able to earn enough to feed our family ??

Basically from my observation, people is Hong Kong generally are able to earn around HK$10,000 or more for fresh graduate.

Transportation, meals and other misc. expenses could cost around HK$100.

Therefore, after minus his basic expenses, one would still have around HK$7000 spending power !!

In Japan, though it looks like a very expensive city to live in, but if one is more careful about his/her spending, a simple meal could just cost you 500YEN, which is around RM15 per meal !

But imagine how much they could earn in a day !!

Thus is our economy healthy ?? I really wonder !!

It looks like everybody works very hard everyday, but a lot of us still struggle to meet ends

The most recent 8GB SDHC card (class 6) – A-Data with life time warranty, which I bought, only cost me around USD20/pc.

Thus, isn’t that would be wonderful that we could pack lots of content and entertainment in such a small card to bring with us everywhere we go

However, one thing that worries me, is that I might lost it as it’s just s small little card only !!
