I've pretty much set my sights on a new phone already. And it's going to be a Dopod C730, which is already available widely in Singapore already. It's release sibling the C500 is already available here but the C730 is still no where to be seen.

Calls to the local distributor SiS were answered with a simple "We are not bringing the Dopod C730 in due to poor demand of the previous model." to which I wanted to ask.. you bring in the largest, most expensive pocket pc in the world, the U1000 and you decided not to bring in something that more people would actually buy?

Feeling bummed about the whole thing I made up my mind to get the C730 in Singapore while I'm down there this weekend for the Play Symphony concert. But first I needed to get my equipment ready, I had to go to a Maxis centre and upgrade my SIM card to a 3G compatible one.

Then.. cause I am using a 3G card I needed to use a different set of GPRS settings when connecting to the traditional GPRS/EDGE data networks, so I went to the Maxis site to look for them and I stumbled into their phone configuration SMS sender. Then I saw this in their supported phones...

The Dopod Cavalier... now where have I heard that before? Oh yeah... the original HTC code name for the Dopod C730 is... the CAVALIER that would mean that Maxis knows something about the C730 and isn't telling.

Hmmm.. considering the fact that SiS is outright denying that they're carrying the phone other than the usual product coming soon excuse which they give on unarrived products I'd have to think that Maxis might have some sort of exclusivity deal on the phone and thus everyone else is just denying it's existence here.

So if you're looking for the Dopod C730... you *could* wait a while and see what Maxis does.

Me? I'm still buying it this Saturday... god I hope it's not sold out yet....

That's what WZ has been doing recently, constantly sucking on his thumb. He seems to be drooling due to his teething again. And the amount of drool he leaks is...

Let me put it this way.. he's a very bad sleeper and he moves all over the bed he sleeps in. And we can see exactly where he has been thanks to the trail of drool!

See... I play with WZ too! And I get hurt carrying the big lug around..

Just realized that I need to talk about something important after an incident with a client recently, so.. you decide that you want to have your own web address and URL, so you engage one of the various webhost providers out there, they tell you for the low low price of.... oh.... chicken feed? You can have your own personal URL up and running in no time at all. So you pay them the money, tell them the domain name you want and within a matter of minutes you get an email with all the login information for your website to upload files, manage permissions, etc. etc.

So.. that's it right? You can now happily run your website right? WRONG!! If you got the webhost to register your domain name for you, they are holding one more VERY IMPORTANT piece of information, your domain name registrant login! What is this? The name registrant is basically a database that converts www.yourock.com to the ipaddress 10.23.23.59 so that people can connect to it, if you DON'T get the login from your webhost provider it's going to get very complicated should you decide to change hosts cause if you don't get that login you can't point the domain name to the new server.

So do remember to get that piece of information from your webhost if you have your own domains.

Hmm. if I keep posting one video per post I think it's gonna get very crowded on the page so.. here's 2 videos in one post!

My mother takes care of WZ during the day, and everytime she feeds him she always makes sure that he puts his hands on the bottle and thus.. WZ pretty much will put his hands on the bottle when feeding.. he doesn't know why he's doing it though and thus he doesn't know he has to tilt the bottle to get more milk when it's empty.

This is how WZ moves FORWARDS right now, he doesn't do it very often.. and I don't think he understands the notion of movement yet though cause you can be in front of him calling and he just stares at you blindly.. But it's a start!
