Cleaning the only place

Clean Macbook keyboard
Most Macbook user came to me and asked about how to clean Macbook, especially the keyboard part. Few nights ago, my friend who has just had his first Macbook for months, asked how long is my Macbook. I answered 3 years, he was impress with the cleanness of my Macbook, the keyboard part. So here is what I used to clean it up…
Eraser
Yes, it’s as simple as that, eraser. Thing that has been using all the time when you’re studying. Or perhaps, thing that designer use so often ;) You can easily get a wholesale fashion jewelry even if you don’t clean your jewely. But about a computer, there isn’t one. So be wise, save some money to clean yourself :P

Best Mac OSX maintenance software ever

Due to my faulty DVD-Rom, I can’t repair my volume header, that scared me for a while. I took my time to look into the internet for the best volume repair software. I get cocktail and some other that are shareware :(
Applejack
And finally I come across this best maintenance software called – Applejack. It allow Single User Mode to maintain and repair the header! It also helps if the laptop can’t boot up. Best of all, it’s freeware! Not even a shareware can compete with this. I got my volume header repaired and now running smooth ;) Imagine sitting here all day long just to find out how to repair my volume header, damn! I should have know this software earlier. Next entry must be a weight loss pill reviews due to the long hour of sitting without exercise this few days.

All you need to do is press “Command + S” when startup and the sound “Pong!”. It can’t work when it is on the user mode though. My idea is to just use the command key “applejack auto”, it will do 3 things.

1, Repair header
2, Repair permission
3, Clean up cache

Which is way better to remember all others code :lol: It is only 331KB file by the way.

Macbook DVD-Rom down!

Finally my Macbook need to send to the service center, but I didn’t do it :P I don’t want to waste any more money on this stupid machine. Well, not really that stupid. I’ve been finding that Macbook (Especially white ones) has a very weak/soft cover, it needed to be taken care REALLY careful. It could break apart anytime if there’s any tough move.

Recently the DVD-Rom has been playing games with me. Sometimes it just don’t read any CD or DVD, sometimes it does. When it does, it has a very annoying and scary sound. Now, it can’t burn and CD-R, error message was just about unable to connect to the DVD-Rom. It can’t boot up with my Mac OSX CD as well, which ended up I can’t repair my volume header :(

I looked into accessories store for a replacement. It cost more than RM500+, I really can’t afford it anymore. Obviously I needing some acne scars cream very soon! I’ve been spending too much for this stupid white machine!!! Since my parent tells me to give this Macbook to my sister, I’m thinking to get a PC laptop instead :P Hackintosh always available. Well, I don’t need Hackintosh anymore I guess. I’m in need of Internet Explorer. I’ve been actively developing WordPress themes this few months, and I can’t check them in Internet Explorer! Mac OSX doesn’t allow IE to install on it now, dammit!

Macbook and LCD

Finally I took out my wallet and get the DVI adapter for my Macbook. There are a few reason that make me buy this expensive little adapter.
Macbook and LCD
Eyes candy, this is the first reason. I’m a student, so I can’t run away from presentation, as I would like to be more special and more perfect on my presentation, I wanna use Keynote from iLife instead of Microsoft PowerPoint. All my course mates used PowerPoint and all of them are lack of knowledge in beautifying their PowerPoint slides. In order to take advantage from there, I think Keynote would do me much more better than a beautiful PowerPoint slide. (Hey, I know how to use PowerPoint in real deal.). No more breaking bathroom faucets for getting nervous on my stupid slide or even content. Believe it or not, beautiful presentation can help the content.

Secondly, 13.3 inches screen is a headache. I’m graphic based, so I do a lot of graphic related stuff which need lots of details. Hence, bigger screen will be better than small. One more thing, I’m using an external keyboard, there are some destine in between the screen with my eyes :P

Hopefully I’m not gonna waste this adapter on only presentation :P How I wish I have an LCD display back at KL.

Bluetooth Laser Mouse

Logitech V470 designed for Mac
Recently my girl friend bought this bluetooth mouse for me :D This Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse is just sweet! Luckily there was this white color one instead of the ugly blue. It’s totally match my Macbook.
Matching white Mac and mouse
Anyway, due to the reason that it is laser base, so the motion is way faster than when I’m using normal optical mouse or even the previous 3D mouse. Will post more about the review soon, so far I’m with PC instead :P Anyway, this mouse only costed USD50 (RM160), according to my research on Malaysia market, they’re selling this at a sky high RM190+ price, still worth my flight deals to Indonesia here!
