Tools and Work

 Things I bought for work. Another addition of $18.60 to the lost count of things that I bought for work. USB C to HDMI adapter has ARRIVED. Previously, I bought a hoco. and it is working fine still but too bad Shopee and Lazada don’t have them. I bought UGREEN then. I am attracted to name with colours on it. Hehe. Need one at the office so that I have less thing to carry back and fro of home.



I bought another ergonomic mouse. My hand could go numb from using the mouse. Actually I have hand numb issue since young. Writing makes my hand numb. Not sure if that is normal but I do practice. I am not entirely sure if that is right hand only. When I used my left, I can write for a long long time even though the hand writing looks bad. 


Bought soldering iron and tools set. Bought HDMI to mini port display x 3. One not working anymore and that’s why I bought another 2 (UGREEN $7.48 and IVANKY) because the working laptop needed it to display on another monitor. Bought a portable monitor for $189.88 and a touch screen portable monitor for about $433 (almost buy the overpriced Asus Zen at 700). Did my research on the whatever specs that I forgot now. The specs weren’t a big difference to be doubled in price. I decided to buy Viewsonic in the end. It had a flap for standing vertically which Zen didn’t have. I have been bringing it with me to mostly onsite which I don’t have to go that often now. After I bought them… The working laptop was also not in use that much since for new things, cause I cannot use it without getting stuck… I can never open more than 2 Visual Studio and 1 Google Chrome. If I opened a Microsoft Word or Excel, be prepared to crash. That is why I bought my $2499 Legion 5 laptop. That is where all my money goes but saving me a lot of time to rest, it is all worth it. There is no point in saving 1k if it cannot last, unreliable and doesn’t work well. It saved you time to do something more worthwhile. 


And so there will be a need of USB Hub. The Legion 5 has lots of them but not going to cover all the hardwares I needed to connect. I have my own Keyboards and Mouse which each required one as well. Good thing I have HP and Targus USB Hubs. One used at home and another at the office. HP really worth the price for quality. Most of all, I guess is the safety of using them. Gives me the piece of mind and hopes their reliability don’t bailed.


I felt like I have achieved something from buying all these. If only my research would stay in my mind. I forgot all about it after buying. hehehe. I have RAM instead of Hard Drive for my brain. 


Nintendo switch, Monitor, Mechanical Keyboards, Mouse and so on… Good study. Now I am trying to figure out which Acoustic Guitar to buy. I used to think they are all the same and not until I go for an online course and while trying to compare between two guitar that I wanted to buy and realised, they could be very different. Maybe this one I really need to go to the shop so that I can listen to the sound. I don’t need it to be aesthetic (if they have that is something extra) but definitely, the sound and note it makes I truly cared about. The sounds make the playing all the more addictive and soothing.

Amount

 The amount I spent on learning before applying actually costed me more money until I do enough work. Still learning process is still needed even while working.  Doing things subconsciously can make the easiest problem complicated. Could be your old habits or subconscious typing or the auto correction? hm.. This one is more like my habit. It is a hard to catch error when we did like that. I was thinking what goes wrong and no matter what I did, it would not return my desired results. Turned the code that I wrote previously and just a line only which I overlooked while checking, was blocking the rest of the changes… Dangerous code is the counter code that you wrote to right a wrong or blocking the wrong from working. That’s normally a temporary solution but the solution turned out to be preventing me doing other works… sigh… 😮‍💨  Today’s a lucky day and I found it while doing another part… so it is good not to always focus on one problem. The other problem could be the c...

hmmmm

Keyboard warrior's keyboard checked. Another Jean checked. It is to make up for the pants that I spoiled two days ago. Just when I arrived at the office, I sat on a chair whereby the surface is grid-like and the  buttoned-up fake pocket button on the right side got plucked off leaving a hole a bit on the upper side of the bum. There is a flap that was together with the button. It just covers the hole a bit. I am not sure if the slit that the button goes through was big enough to see through. I tried to ensure my shirt was over the hole though at least to cover while I was not seated. It wasn't a good time. I was wondering should I just walk off to buy another pants but decided not to because we were busy. That went on for the rest of the day. A day to remember. The pants lasted 10 years. I bought it during my first job at 2011. Anyway, it was a bit tight around the waist so shouldn't have worn it at all. Although I am a bit heavier, my waist is a bit off only. I wonder if m...
