quickie

Just got back from Singapore. Will definitely consider coach instead of Air Asia next time. And, no more late night flights before a working Monday.

Also just got ripped by a midnight taxi for a trip from KL Sentral to home. RM 20. HWB 7733. Beware. Note to self: Ask the fare arrangement before boarding the cab.

All in all, a good trip with good company. :)

mtv is evil

I wanted to watch Fergie’s new London Bridge video and her site pointed me to MTV which then asked me to install an ActiveX extension for Firefox. I thought sure, why not, cuz I could always uninstall it later. So after loading MTV Overdrive, watching an ad, then waiting a few more minutes for the video to load, I get the following message:

“Music videos can only be viewed in the US”

****ers.

So then I gave up, and popped open Firefox’s Extensions page to uninstall whatever it was that MTV had me installed. Surprise surprise, nothing! It took me a while to google a solution, which was to delete the npmozax.dll file from Firefox’s plugins\ subdirectory [source].

Moral of the story: Just stick to torrents.

Anyways, I’ve finished reading Death Note! An excellently twisted ending. Yummy. Now on to Berserk and other things.
