Sharpion's Dream

Due to the arrival of our maid and daughter, we have found the need to monitor our house. Here is what I did: Foscam Cameras I was a bit tentative about buying this brand but after a lot of searching and reviews, i really found this one of the best value for money cameras in the market. I bought x2 FI8918W (Pan/Tilt) and x1 FI8909W (Fixed). The product site is here . They both have 2 way audio, night vision and are wireless. Best of all, i got them at a steal of$398 SGD for ALL 3 July 11 Promotion. A bit strange how you buy them though. You basically just send an email to the distributor (Marix) and then they come and deliver it to your door step. I was quite impressed with them as I emailed them on Sunday and they responded almost immediately. I confirmed a day later and got my cam the following day. Professional, quick and responsive. Here is their thread on VR Forums. Setting Up Ok, setting up the cameras is NOT an easy feat. You have to be quite techy to be able to get it. Good t...

So lots of friends have been asking me how i do my setup at home. So instead of telling of you one by one i'm just going to post it here. It will save me effort and the anonymous surfers out there can also benefit. I'm very open to comments, feedback and suggestions as to how to improve my setup, so just please let me know. DO NOT assume i have tons of cash ok! Just becoz i bought the dyson fan... ---- Disclaimer: I'm not saying this is the best setup at all and neither am i saying i'm an expert on the matter. I'm just a regular geeky guy who enjoys his toys and this is just what i use. I'm happy with it. Learn what you can from this. I'm also not going to go into detail. Everything can be found in detail with google so if you need more of the fact-sy stuff, just google it. What you can't find anywhere else is MY opinion :D ----- Fundamentals 1. GIGABIT network speed Max out internal LAN bandwidth. Especially if you are going to stream videos. Make sure ...

I've been using the iPhone from the day it came out. So far, i've used the 2G, 3G and 3GS. I've cracked, jailbrokened, destroyed lots of iPhones as well. More importantly, I try my best to get the most out of my iPhone in my daily life. So its not strange that people keep asking me what my fav apps are. Well, here they are (in no particular order): Facebook Has a cool function where you can sync all your contact's profile pics into your contact list. Also supports push notifications etc. Of course all the normal FB things can be done. Geocaching If you don't know what this is, please go to www.geocaching.com . It is one of the best apps to use if you have this hobby. Note that you have to pay about $10 USD for it. AppBox Pro Actually its kinda cheating to call this an app coz it actually is like a compilation of apps. It's not free $0.99 USD but it is seriously worth it. Ta-da List Technically this is not an app but rather it is a website that manages to-do lis...
