New friend has arrived
Posted by birdie in Miscellaneous on January 1, 2010
Fell in love with the new Apple Magic Mouse the minute it was announced. However, every week after our weekend game at Discovery Bay Golf Club, we go to the local (Hong Kong) Apple reseller in IFC Mall, DG Lifestyle Store, but they never had it in stock. So we decided to buy it from the Apple Store. And finally it arrived.
Now with 83 photos to sort out and seven posts to be written, we either have to stop eating out or this mouse better perform some magic…

Successful Move to New Server
Posted by birdie in Miscellaneous on December 6, 2009
Thanks for being so patient. The weekend move to our new server at ICDSoft was very successful. Pinging the server showed a remarkable 18 fold improvement in response times! Thanks to Vinko for helping me with the move. The new servers are at iAdvantage in Hong Kong, closer to home. I would be curious to see how the response time is affected for our overseas friends. Drop me a comment below to let me know.
Birdie Moving This Weekend
Posted by birdie in Miscellaneous on December 3, 2009
I’m moving (servers) this weekend and so there maybe some interruptions in service. We will try to keep it to a minimum and hopefully performance will improve after the move. Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. See you next week.
Baccarat Snoopy is HERE!!!
Posted by birdie in Golf, Miscellaneous on November 3, 2009
The Baccarat Snoopy Golfer is finally here. And we were able to get one of the 10 that arrived in the first batch. It was a surprise gift from C and it is VERY cute. A funny address position though. However, Snoopy was never a really good golfer anyway…

We’re (actually R) great fans of Snoopy. So we’ve got Snoopy head covers, ball pouches etc. When we learned that Baccarat was to produce a crystal Snoopy golf figurine, we immediately placed an order. But maybe it was the Financial Tsunami or something, it never seemed to materialize. The closest we came was to see a rough photocopy at the local Baccarat store…but still no delivery date. But today we received this DM in the mail today. So it must be close. Will call them tomorrow to see if they have an exact date. Will keep everyone posted.
