  • Create IBM/Leveno Thinkpad X40 Recovery Disc

    When you purchase an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad X40 series laptop, it doesn’t come with restore CDs or operating CD like Dell/HP have. After you have purchased Thinkpad X40 series laptop, you have to call and request from IBM Centre for recovery CDs within 14 days from the day you bought the laptop. If you are like me, forget to do so, don’t worry, you can create the recovery CDs by yourself.

    If you are planning to create recovery CDs, prepare 5-6 CDs or if you prefer to build it in DVDs, you only need 2 DVDs. Make sure you have Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery installed. If not, download from IBM download site.

    To create IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad recovery CDs/DVDs, just click Start > Programs > ThinkVantage > Create Recovery Media. Follow the instruction, it will take around 30-45 minutes to complete the process, depend on your CD/DVD burner speed.

    以前常說 , “得閑死唔得閑病”
    上個星期 , 終於親身體驗到了

    最近的生意真的差 , 猛虧
    所以說做生意其實不是勤勞就可以的了 ,
    以前常說 , “新界的牛有夠勤勞 , 最後還不是給人殺了”
    上個星期 , 終於親身體驗到了

    病了168小時 , 原則上是瘦了 ,
    一路來矮子都喜歡把壓力化成食量
    所以 , 毫無奇蹟般的肥了…..

    昨天 , 完全恢復後的第一天…….
    下午1點起床 , 雞飯
    工作到4點 , 麵包+萄式蛋撻
    8點晚上 , 一個人經過KFC , 停了 , 有新產品 , 吃了

  • Malaysiakini Temporary Offline – Hardware Failures

    Press Release from Malaysiakini

    Dear Readers and Subscribers,

    Malaysiakini would like to apologise for a series of disruptions to our services over the last 10 days. The disruptions were caused by hardware failures within the key Malaysiakini servers.

    Since Malaysiakini published the exclusive interview with Tun Dr Mahathir on May 23rd, 2006, readership and subscription have nearly doubled. In the month of June, Malaysiakini delivered over 18.9 million pageviews. During peak days, the Malaysiakini servers have delivered over a million pages a day, to over 100,000 visitors. Our current servers were not able to handle the traffic load, creating a series of failures which led to the disruption.

    In order to cope with the higher demand, Malaysiakini will be investing in more servers as well as moving the servers to Malaysia’s leading datacentre AIMS. Our technology team will be completing the move by August 20th.

    We trust that there will be minimal disruptions. Readers and Subscribers will enjoy faster access once the move has been completed.

    For further information, please contact our customer services department on 03-22835567 x 102.

    Thank you for your support.

    Premesh Chandran
    CEO malaysiakini.com
