Written on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 by KayChink

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • iPhone
  • iTunes
  • Mac or Windows Computer
  • Non-DRM song (i.e. one not bought from the iTunes Store)
  1. Step1

    Open iTunes.

  2. Step2

    Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.

  3. Step3

    Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.

  4. Step4

    Write down the start and stop times of the clip.

  5. Step5

    Right-click the song and select "Get Info."

  6. Step6

    Click the "Options" tab.

  7. Step7

    Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e. 2:01) format.

  8. Step8

    Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 40 seconds long.

  9. Step9

    Click "OK".

  10. Step10

    Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC". Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.

  11. Step11

    Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete".

  12. Step12

    Click on the "Keep Files" button.

  13. Step13

    Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under Music > iTunes > iTunes Music and under the band's name. It will have an extension of "m4a."

  14. Step14

    Replace the "m4a" extension of your ringtone with "m4r". You can either double-click slowly to re-name your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.

  15. Step15

    Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.

  16. Step16

    Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.

  17. Step17

    Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.




Selamat Tinggal Moscow.. untuk seketika tapi bukan selamanya

Jam menunjukkan pukul 6.15 pagi. Tido awal semalam, pukul 11pm camtu. Seharian semalam aku tak tidur, terlalu excited nak balik kot.

"Jantungku berdebar-debar. Terkenangkan bila saat kapal terbang tu berlepas.."

Bag aku dah kemas, tak lama pun, beberape puluhan minit saja. Baju aku sumbat, almariku sangat penuh, penuh dengan pakaian yang tak sepatutnya. Kaki shopping la dulu.. tapi sekarang dah insaf.

Semalam aku singgah rumah kedua di Moscow. Main dengan kawan-kawan dan adik-adik. Makan masak lemak mama yang sangat mengenyangkan isi perutku. Nampaknya aku dah merasa masakan Malaysia sebelum aku pulang ke Malaysia. 2 ketul ikan masak kicap menjadi santapanku juga.
Pasti, aku akan merindui mereka, meronggeng sama-sama, melihat mereka ketawa, melihat mereka berjenaka, menendang bola bersama, akan menjadi kisah indah hidupku di sini yang takkan ku lupakan.

"Sorang demi sorang pergi, tapi tak mengapa... kenangan tetap dihati"

Ahhh, aku pulang hari ini.. Singgah di Middle East sebentar, nak buat 'natural tanning' kata orang puteh. Mereka pasti bingung.. kau duk luar negara pun gelap ka? ape nak buat? aku tetap orang Asia sepertimu.

"Semestinya diriku tak sabar menunggu pukul 12am.. untukku mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepadanya, tapi yang pasti bukan untuk selamanya." 31 ogos, aku akan kembali jua.. menghabiskan sisa-sisa perjuangan yang akan menjadi acuan hidupku kelak. Pada masa yang sama, aku juga tidak sabar memegang segulung ijazah, hadiah untuk mereka yang selama ini menyokongku dan memberi semangat kepadaku.

Selamat tinggal Moscow.. untuk seketika tapi bukan untuk selamanya.

Introducing the 'new' iPhone.

0

Written on Thursday, June 11, 2009 by KayChink

YO! CHINGUS!

"The Fastest, most Powerful iPhone yet." has been released by Apple last Monday. The key features of this new generation of iPhone are the speed, upgraded 3.2MP camera and support video capturing 30 fps VGA + Sound.

However, the upgrade doesn't seem all big of a deal compared with iPhone 3G. Same design, same cosmetic characteristics, same OS and lots of the features upgraded are not so different from iPhone 3G.

Thus, the investment of iPhone 3G S is purely based on the speed (S=speed), the camera (3.2MP with autofocus), voice control, and the new application, compass - A built in digital compass that works just like a magnetic needle compass to let u know which way you're facing and turn-by-turn GPS with voice.

So, the main question here. Is it worth upgrading your iPhone 3G to iPhone 3G S? Here are the comparisons:

1. Speed (Processor, Memory and Graphic)
  • iPhone 3G : 412MHz processor with 128MB RAM, Samsung S5L8900 chip processor with PowerVR MBX graphic processor
  • iPhone 3G S : 600MHz processor with 256MB RAM, PowerVR SGX graphic processor that supports OpenGL ES 2.0 for better 2D/3D gaming experience
Comment : Yes, 1 point for iPhone 3G S. It is really 2X faster than iPhone 3G.

2. Battery Life


iPhone 3G S vs iPhone 3G

Comment : 1 more points for iPhone 3G S. Certainly a longer battery life is needed. Although the difference is not much, but the fact that they increased the processor and the RAM, does have a significant impact.

3. Camera
  • iPhone 3G : 2MP with no autofocus... Lame
  • iPhone 3G S : 3.2MP with auto focus, auto exposure, and auto white balance. Tap to focus, changing white balance in the process. Special macro and low light modes. Photo and video geotagging.

Comment : What is there to comment? huhu. 1 point for iPhone 3G S!!

4. Features

Let's talk about iPhone 3G S. It has a digital compass, turn-by-turn GPS, voice command, Video recording with on-the-mode editing and all the iPhone 3.0 firmware features (Cut, Copy n Paste, A2DP, Landscape keyboard, Peer-to-Peer over Bluetooth ect.)

How about iPhone 3G? Digital compass? Yes. There's an app for that. Turn-by-turn GPS. Yes. it is called xGPS, pretty much the same with voice. Voice command? Yes. Lots of apps for that. Video recording? Hahaha.. i've been using that months ago. Yes, there's an app for that too. Firmware 3.0? Of course.. i'm using it right now. shake to undo..bla bla bla.

Comment : So, where's the upgrade? everything looks the same. BooOOoo~ 1 point goes to iPhone 3G!!! hurrraaaaahhh~

5. Design

Same, but heavier for iPhone 3G S. Not a big deal though but..

1 point for iPhone 3G!! hehehe

6. Price

Apple has slashed the price for iPhone 3G 8GB from 199USD to 99USD. yeah, in USA only duhh.. but i'm sure the price will drop in other countries as well.

199USD for 16GB iPhone 3G S
299USD for 32GB iPhone 3G S.

Comment : with a cheaper price, with almost the same features and the same design as iPhone 3G S, i'm sure normal people would have chose iPhone 3G (considering the fact that they know how to tweak the phone.. noobs will automatically consider themselves for iPhone 3G S because of one reason.. it is the latest version). As for me, another point for iPhone 3G!!

Conclusion :
the result is 3 to 3. both have the same qualities and the same positive marks. So, should I or should I not upgrade my white 16GB iPhone 3G?

I'm really amazed with the ability of iPhone 3G S to capture good quality photos and its on-the-mode video capture. Plus, it is really awesome to have my Luna to have a voice and actually could speak back to me. ;) Also, i've fallen in love with all the products from Apple... They really know how to 'pancing' especially a person like me. hehehe. Even though iPhone is still lacking of features, people will never stop wanting to get their hands on it.

iPhone -the most awesome device ever created and it really.... has become a phenomenon where people will look back twice to the person with an iPhone and not to forget, the Macs as well. To have iPhone 3G S - the new revolutionary phone, the ONLY phone that could replace the iPhone 3G is another episode of awesomeness.

With that, I'm announcing that I will get my hands on that phone!! it will be on the top of the list of Barang-Barang Keperluan Akew!! yeahh~!!

Forget HTC, Nokia and others. Get yourself an iPhone. 2G, 3G or 3G S.. either one. it is really a good investment. of perhaps, the best investment ever!

Chiaoz!

Chronicles of David, the screwed up Boy

Written on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 by KayChink

YO! Chingus!


Do you know about David? he's really popular in YouTube. His famous video - David after dentist has become a phenomenon and people are making parodies about it. His famous quotes "Why is this happening to me? Is this going to be forever??" is legendary.

It started when David escaped from his highchair and learned how to use his legs to get to his father's secret stash. From that day, his miserable, screwed up life begins..


David, 7 years later. Went to see the dentist and got his gums stitched because he fell from his tricycle. How the hell he could fell from a tricycle? That still remains as the mystery of the century. he said that a Pterodactyl hit his head, probably he was just 'high' as the experts said.


David 11 years later, after graduating from college. He was thought to suffer from schizophrenia - describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. Often claimed that he was abducted by aliens and one of them was residing within him. Really, he was just 'high'.

David 17 years later, after the divorce. His wife claimed that David was acting strange and would screamed his head off every time he was sitting on the back seat. David said that he sometimes was portraying himself as a victim of the dentist and the alien abduction he encountered years back. She was afraid that his behavior might affect their children as one of them started to show the same symptoms. Really, they were just 'high'.

Now David is living with his dad, who coincidently had the same screwed up episodes as David. Maybe this is what people always say, "Like father like son"
"Thanks Dad.." said David.
