Introduction

Hi, my name is…

--------------------

Thank you so much for being part of SBF, and part of the I.T.inerary forum.

This sub-forum was indeed created by bikers, for bikers like us.

 

When the cold wind blows, the rain falls. Therefore, many bikers on the BKE get wet.

Rain, rain, go away!!!!1

 

We have new introductions recently:

 

@tanchunxun is a support specialist in computer Networks. You know, what happens when the cable breaks or when a Director needs to create a new network point to plug his laptop into. (Introduce Yourself! thread)

(correct me if I'm wrong Mr Tan CX)

 

@ithorlick is an IT services & IT accessories provider.

 

 

Internet Sightings

What better (or ingenious) way to organize your computer cables with used toilet rolls.

(Remember to spray disinfectant before using though)

 

 

IT issues

--------------------

While wolves were finished howling to the full moon during the mid-autumn festival (yummy mooncakes by the way), people have been posting these threads in ITinerary:

 

@DVD has an iPhone. Whenever he tries to download any app onto his phone, it will show him that it is installing, then mysteriously disappears. "Dr Watson, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth," quoth Sherlock Homes. Can you find the truth on the mystery of the disappearing apps?

Audiophiles will now have a reason to drool. This is a smartphone, and it comes with the signature 'Beats' in-ear headphones with mic + remote to take calls/flip through songs on the go. This phone is speedy thanks to its internal 1.5GHz processor, has a bigger battery for longer running times, and onboard is a Beats-optimized equalizer that switches to a sound profile that pumps out fuller bass, sharper vocals, and delivers a broader sound range when you plug in the special Beats headphones.

 

A smart way to filter out unwanted emails

How? Set your email software or email provider to scan incoming emails with the word "Unsubscribe".

That word appears in all kinds of junk mail anyways.

An iPhone App that tracks when your friends 'otang' money from you and vice-versa.

(Caveat: This app costs US0.99)

 

That's it for Newsletter #4. Stay tuned next week.
