  • What Is PRAM?

    MagSafe connecting to Macbook Pro
    PRAM stands for Parameter RAM. PRAM stores certain system and device settings in a location that The Mac OS can access quickly. The information is store in a small area of non-volatile RAM (NVRAM).

    What does PRAM stores? Zapping your PRAM? How to do it? Exactly which settings are stored in the computer’s PRAM varies depending on the type of computer as well as the types of devices and drives connected to the computer.

    Some information stored in PRAM includes:
    • Display and video settings such as refresh rate, screen resolution, number of colors
    • Time zone setting
    • Startup volume choice
    • Speaker volume
    • Recent kernel panic information, if any
    • DVD region setting

Note: Mac OS X stores your preselected DVD region choice in PRAM for easy access. Resetting PRAM does not allow you to change the DVD region.

    Unlike prior versions of the Mac OS, Mac OS X does not store network settings in PRAM. If you experience a network issue, resetting PRAM will not help.

    If PRAM is reset, you may need to verify your time zone, startup volume, and volume settings using System Preferences. Certain firmware updates may reset PRAM as a normal part of their installation process.

    When to use PRAM? There are times when the computer faces some problems. Instead of rushing the computer to the service centre, you may try these resuscitation methods for the computer. The few problems that PRAM could help,

    1. Computer has no startup chime, and the sleep light may or may not be turned on. You can still hear the computer has something running inside, which means there is power in the computer.

    2. Screen is distorted or flickering, or resolution of the screen is not right.

    3. External devices are not able to be detected.

    Usually PRAM is ran for 3 cycles, which means you hold the 4 keys simultaneously (Command, Option, P, and R) until you hear 3 startup chimes. Another thing that we should note is that zapping PRAM should not be used unnecessarily.

    When ever the PRAM is used, zapping PRAM, you will reset your clock setting to 1970. And this will disrupt the proper flow of power to into the computer. If PRAM does not solve the problem, do not keep trying too many times, it is really time to send the computer for servicing.

    Sweet Girl And Her Pictures Of Birthday Cakes

    Another sweet girl friend of mine. She was working night shift the day before her birthday. Exactly passed midnight she received my birthday greeting SMS. She was happy and surprised I was the first one to greet her with my greeting at the very first second of her birthday.

    Then I invited her and her friends over to my place after she off from work. I opened the door and invited her in and she was surprised to see her favourite chocolate birthday cake on the table with candles lighted up for her. To make the mini-party complete, I strummed the guitar and sang her the birthday song.

  • My Sony Ericsson S500c

    My Sony Ericsson S500c lighted up!

    My SE K800i suddenly cannot powered up after I changed the battery. I was disappointed and desperate for a mobile phone and I bought my Sony Ericsson S500c. As I explored the phone, I realised this was a lady-killer phone. Using this phone made me popular among the ladies.

    This phone worked with iSync but I had to buy the plugin from a third-party vendor. The music playback on the speaker was better than the K800i. The OS performed faster and smoother than K800i too. This phone also support PictBridge and came with 512MB Sony M2 memory card.

    However the next day, I got the power up problem of my K800i fixed and now it was working fine.

    Lost, Season One

    Yeah! Another drama marathon, completed three seasons in one breath, watching while eating egg tarts and orange juice on my cozy couch.

    The story was typical, was a combo of lot of movies and computer games stories into a long drama but the scenes were well constructed and that was what made the drama so anticipating, so mysterious, so addicting that I just wanted to keep watching episode after episode.

    My favourite character was the fat guy, Hugo Reyes also known as Hurley, played by Jorge Garcia. He turned out to be a millionaire after his lottery windfall.

    Another favourite of mine was Vincent, the labrador dog. The dog was adorable and fun. When I saw Vincent running up and down the beach, how I wished I was there to play with him.

    In the drama, take note of this set of numbers, 4 8 15 16 23 42.

  • 我们成为了最熟悉的陌生人

    我们成为了最熟悉的陌生人

    如果有一天你能到我的心里去, 你一定会流泪因为里面全是你给的伤。如果有一天我能到你心里去,我也一定会流泪因为里面全是你的无所谓。我们的认识本来就是一个错误,不是吗?

    如果,爱上一个人是一瞬间,和一个人相处需要一段时间,而忘记一个入却需要一生的时间。

    如果能回到从前我会选择不认识你不是我后悔,是我不能面对没有你的结局。分手后不可以做朋友,因为彼此伤害过,不可以做敌人,因为彼此深爱过。所以我们成为了最熟悉的陌生人。

    China Wonder! Looked at the building! It was a great spectacular view and idle people gathered around and wondered and then admired the new inspired architecture when the whole lot just collapsed and slanted backward. The police and the related departments came and secured the area. This area was crowded for more than a week. This event happened last month.

  • 香港始终有你

    Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

    今天是香港回归十周年,也是我退伍十年了,也是我开始踏进这个现实的社会。

    十年前的我还以为中国回收香港是件坏事,没想到香港回归中国给香港带来了更美好的将来。我也看到了一国两制的存在。 现在的香港居民不象以前回归的时候,不知道自己的民族身份。中央政府对香港的付出,耐心和不辞辛劳的精神,已经赢到香港居民的心。现在的香港居民已经接受了中国是祖国。

    在这十年里,香港居民已经接受了一国两制。在新的环境之下,香港居民也开始改便了生活,开始溶合中华民族的精神。现在的新香港在这个世界舞台已经开始找到了自己新的生存方式和新的角色。

    我在这十年里又有什么收货?我觉得我和香港一样,花了十年的时间来了解在这社会上的人生生活的哲学.

    现在的我找到了新的自己,找到了我在世界舞台的新生存方式和新的角色。
