			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_260" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 255px"><a href="http://www.ridhuan.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/realpower.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-260" title="Realpower" src="http://www.ridhuan.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/realpower-245x300.jpg" alt="Realpower" width="245" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Realpower</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last night I was fooled by the Real Madrid brand. I went to a grocery store to buy some juice but suddenly when I saw the Real Madrid logo on cans of drinks I quickly grab a can and also my favorite fruit juice and straight to the paying counter. I don&#8217;t even read what was written on the can until later when I want to drink it. That Real Madrid logo was like covering everything on the can that I can&#8217;t see anything else. At first I thought it might be a coffee drink or something like Pepsi but I was surprised because it was actually an energy drink and tasted like Red Bull. Why am I drinking an energy drink at midnight? That drink did cause me difficulty to sleep last night.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I like football (soccer) and there are several famous teams that I love to watch them play. I like Real Madrid but I&#8217;m not a fanatic fan who will always notice every change in the teams. I watch football because of the gameplay and not just because of the teams. Most of the time I don&#8217;t care who will win or lose except when Manchester United is playing. I always prefer ManUtd to lose not because of the team but because of the fans. Most of ManUtd/Chelsea/Liverpool around here are so &#8216;poyo&#8217;. I don&#8217;t know how to exactly describe this but they&#8217;ll get emotional and cursing when the teams are losing. I don&#8217;t mind if they from Manchester but the problem is they are million miles away. They might not even care about the local football scenes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Done with the blog move. It took me about 2 weeks to complete the move of this blog from the free <a title=".CO.CC" href="http://www.co.cc/?id=161976" target="_blank">.CO.CC</a> address to this .COM address. Did everything manually since my <a title="000webhost" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.000webhost.com/70878.html" target="_blank">free server</a> can&#8217;t provide a better moving method. Who said blogging is easy? Well now everything are back to normal except the MyBlogLog widget which is displaying as not the way I wanted it to be. This blog had only been moved once but I&#8217;m the one whose going to move again to another house. This is for the second time within 2 month period. I moved in to this house (as the time this article is written) in early June and joining my friends who were already living here. Then the bad news came when the owner told us that he wanted to live here in October and will start doing renovations in August. This house is a 2 story terrace with resonable rent and a very comfortable environment. I&#8217;m having a hard feeling about moving out of this house and I don&#8217;t really like to live in apartment block which I will start to live in tomorrow. Well.. he&#8217;s the owner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rent houses are scarce at this time around this area and me and my friend can&#8217;t live too far from our university to avoid being late to classes. There are some houses available but the rent are beyond our budget. I am living in Shah Alam, Malaysia and Shah Alam is among the areas which have the highest real estate value in Malaysia and the cost of living is relatively high. Things that I hate the most is that some part of Shah Alam expecially Section 7 where I&#8217;m living in is alive because of university and college students. During semester break, most of commercial premises were closed because they can&#8217;t run their businesses. Rent houses are all occupied by students but still the cost of living is high as we are all businessmen or professionals. People are just taking advantage of this situation. I wonder why can&#8217;t they or the government give some privillege to students as did by some countries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">What should I do if someone stole my blog articles exactly as I wrote them including the images and without giving any credits? That is totally plagiarism and I don&#8217;t like it. I had sent a message to the author of the blog who stole the article so I won&#8217;t reveal the accused yet. I&#8217;m going to check that blog again later and if there is still nothing changed I&#8217;m thinking of taking some actions about that.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The article are from my <a title="Catia V5 Tutorial" href="http://catiatutorial.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Catia V5 Tutorial</a> blog and most of the articles took me up to 3 hours to complete. The blog is licensed with Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 License therefore anybody can use the articles as I wrote them as long as they give credits and stay within the limit of the license. I&#8217;m still thinking about what I should do if the thief don&#8217;t want to answer to my message. Taking legal actions would not be a suitable action because I would have to appoint a lawyer to make things right or worse.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I&#8217;d like to try a method quite similar to what my friend did when somebody copied his article. What my friend did was he uploaded a big photo of the accused copier including links to his blog in Facebook. A few days later my friend received a letter of apology and removal of his article from the copier blog. What else can we when somebody copied our article in such way? Of course nobody would want something like this to happen. Writing is not something that can be done in a blink and some people can just copy and paste as it is their own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I am using a HP Compaq V3700 cheap laptop but I&#8217;m really satisfied with the performance as I needed. My processor temperature reached 85°C just now. The normal processor temperature for my laptop is about 53°C. Fortunately the laptop don&#8217;t just blow or have any hardware damage. I don&#8217;t know the actual reason but I assume it might because of the dummy flash card I&#8217;ve inserted in the card slot because the temperature returned to normal after I removed it. That is not a confirmed reason because I&#8217;ve been inserting the card in the slot since a month ago but there was no significant change of temperature. I&#8217;ve also removed the Express Card cover to help reduce the temperature. At that time, the number of applications are just as normal and both processor and memory are running at normal condition. I mean the processor usage was only about 30% and 700MB free from my 2GB RAM. These are my current temperatures of my laptop devices gathered by <a title="SpeedFan" href="http://www.almico.com/speedfan438.exe">SpeedFan</a> application:</p>
<ol>
<li>Hard Disc: 48°C</li>
<li>Temp1 (I don&#8217;t know what): 57°C</li>
<li>Temp2 (probably motherboard chipset): 62°C</li>
<li>Processor Core1: 57°C</li>
<li>Processor Core2: 57°C</li>
</ol>
<p>Please share yours with me.</p>
<div id="attachment_154" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.ridhuan.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mylaptop.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-154" title="mylaptop" src="http://www.ridhuan.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mylaptop-240x300.jpg" alt="The dummy card and slots" width="240" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The dummy card and slots</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I don&#8217;t think the ambience temperature would make the laptop heat up that much. Today might be the hottest day of the month with temperature of 35°C and humidity of 41% during the day and 30°C with 70% humidity at night. The average temperature for Malaysia is probably 30°C with humidity of 75%. Normally the heat will always be followed by a heavy rain but for this month there was no heavy rain yet here in Shah Alam. I am wondering if the effort of reducing global warming such as Earth Day, green technology, or anything really have any effect. Is it summer already in the Western countries? How about the weather at your place?</p>
