I’ve been getting more curious about MongoDB. The problem is I’ve been struggling trying to create a development environment. I’ve tried OSX, Ubuntu, and Windows. I always get stuck at a step. I think I found the right recipe. First, I’m running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit virtually. You don’t have to run Windows virtuall….
Two weeks after I installed my Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD in a RAID0, I’m still getting great performance. I have now used up half of my drive space. My write speeds still look weird between what ATTO and Crystal Disk are reporting. I’m not really good with these benchmark softwares. I just use the default…
The time has finally come to replace my new/old Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard. I knew the time would come even when I bought it. It was one of the first Z68 motherboards in the market. It’s a micro ATX form factor so expandability is limited. It served me well and exceeded expectations. Alas, I have outgrown…
I think I have found the perfect SSD drive. I have tried several, most I kept and some I returned. The ones I kept so far are 2 Kingston V+100 96GB. Both are running in a Macbook Pro 13” (Core2Duo) and another in a Macbook Pro 15” (i7 2011 model). Another is the OCZ Vertex…
My latest upgrade to my computer is a pair of OCZ Vertex Plus 60GB SSD. They are running on SATAII and have had many bad reviews but I wanted to give them a try, after all my motherboard has the Z68 chipset. I was running a RAID10 4x Seagate 500GB 7200RPM with 16MB cache as…
My aunt’s PC got infected with a trojan virus. She called me and ask if she should use some kind of antivirus to clean her PC. I remember installing Microsoft Security Essentials and as she is describing the interface it didn’t sound familiar. I told her that the so called antivirus itself could be the…
I recently tried out Digiarty’s Blu-ray Decrypter because my Makemkv trial has expired. I tried to install the newer version but it still tells me it’s expired. So far it was good during trial. It ripped the 3 movies I tried with it to M2TS files. I then tried to encode it using Arcsoft MediaConverter…
I opened my Arcsoft MediaConverter 7 so I can do some more transcoding. To my surprise I was greeted with the following error. I went to the Lucid Logix website for support just like the error said. I couldn’t find any help nor did I find a way to purchase the full version. All I…
I just installed the optibay kit from Maxupgrades.com on my Macbook Pro (MC723LL). The kit cost $89 with the USB enclosure. I called them up before ordering and spoke with one of the sales people for almost half an hour. He knew a great deal about Apple products and he says that he’s one of…
Last week I bought another Kingston 96GB SSD drive from Newegg. This was my second SSD from Kingston. I’ve had a great experience with the first one so I figured why not get another, plus the price was good… pretty much $1 per GB. Anyway, I had a nightmare getting this installed on my new…
