How much money do you spend for ink refill of your personal printer? In my case, it is quite a lot because I use it for my daily work. My printer is Canon PIXMA iP1300. It has 2 catridges in it. One is black color catridge and the other is 3-color catridge. A new original one will cost me around Rp 180,000 for black and Rp 225,000 for color (around USD18 and USD 22.5). They will last for about 1 pack of 500-sheet of A4 papers for draft mode and usually less than 1 pack for standard mode. But you can refill the catridge at refill or recycle center for Rp 30,000 for the black and Rp 50,000 for the

Several weeks ago I installed 2 (two) automatic switch lamp holders for the two lamp fittings at the front of my house. They cost me around Rp 25,000 a piece and are made in china (again?). I cannot find the brand on its casing but I know it is quite a good product which I usually get from my local supplier. Why did I install this kind of stuff? Well, first of all, I like to try new interesting product which may benefit you especially concerning energy saving or the kinds :-) Furthermore, this automatic switch will switch on your bulb automatically if there is no sufficient ambient light, ie:

Most of our childhoods have already been ruined by needles at the doctor's office, but one Japanese inventor thinks he's come up with the perfect pain-free, needle-free injection to sooth tomorrow's lucky kids. Called Mother's Kiss, the device would theoretically eliminate the need for needles and even existing needle-free devices, which use gas or air pressure to deliver drugs (think primitive Dr. Crusher). Instead, the seemingly simple device uses tiny plastic ampules to deliver life saving meds to the needle-averse. National Geographic has a video, but it doesn't embed, so check the

This is one of the series of postage stamps depicting President Soekarno of Indonesia. He was the first president of Indonesia who proclaimed the independence on behalf of the people of Indonesia. I've got 2 pieces of 1 (one) Rupiah postage stamp. 4 (four) of the postage stamps haven't got postage marks yet. Here is another President Soekarno Series - a Conefo Series. Conefo is an acronym of Conference of The New Emerging Forces which was President Soekarno's idea to form a new block of force comprising of developing countries in response to the two blocks of forces at that time ie:

I got 2 units of solar lantern lamp from a friend to test.They are made in China. One of the lantern is modified so that it has a charging and low power indicator. I put a simple charge controller inside it and a brand new Panasonic 6V 4.5AH Sealed Lead Acid Battery. The other lantern is kept original. I want to compare which one has better performance. Both have been put into test since the beginning of June 2008 and are still working just fine. I charge them whole day from dawn till dusk (effectively from 6:30 till 17:30). Both can light brightly whole night long (Actually it is not as bright

I bet you have heard about electronic money or e-currency or digital money. There are many kinds of electronic money in this world. The ones that I address this time are those being used in cyber world. People usually use them as means of payment and income from many HYIP (High Yield Investment Program) "companies". Yes, electronic money or you may call it virtual money is very popular among the HYIPers. I suggest you had better stay away from these so-called "companies", avoid losing your money. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: A High-Yield Investment Program (HYIP) is a

This song reminds me of someone I lost but still in my heart :-) Can’t believe it’s over, I watched the whole thing fallAnd I never saw the writing that was on the wallIf I’d only knew that days were slipping pastThat the good things would never last, that you were cryingMmm, summer turned to winter and the snow had turned to rainAnd

After having a little problem with AVG 8 free edition, I thought it was a good chance for me to try a new free antivirus from ALWIL Software based in Prague, Czech Republic. As a matter of fact, I was very happy with AVG 8 until it displayed a warning box telling me that "avgscanx.exe" had a problem during full scan. The scanning itself was stopped or interrupted and not completed. I could not find why this happened whenever a full scan was executed. The brand new replacement was Avast Antivirus 4 Home Edition which is free for non commercial and home use only. The package already includes

Do you like mobile chatting and free calls? Actually there is no free in this world :-) At least you must pay for your GPRS connection. But the rate is much cheaper than ordinary call because it is a data connection which charges each kB of data you send or receive. In Indonesia, it cost you only Rp 1 / kB if using Indosat Mentari GPRS connection, very cheap indeed! I have not used their 3.5G yet because the connection is not good at my place and I think it will cost you more. Or you can enjoy free surfing, free VoIP call and instant messaging if using Axis during promotion at this moment.

I've been using YouSayToo (YST) for more than a month. I also have used some other sharing community sites and I notice that I like to use YST because of some strong points as described below:YST page loading is faster than the average of other similar communities. For instance, other sites sometimes have embedded videos which play themselves automatically everytime you load the pages. It bogs down your PC :-)YST is simpler to use and not complicated with neat and intuitive placement of tools and links. Simplicity counts!The user interface for creating a new post is very good even if you compare
