Gmail 2.0
Posted by Benny Chew in General Tech, Tips & Tweaks, Web on November 11th, 2007
An updated version of Gmail was recently rolled out to most users just after IMAP access was released, and I got it pretty early on. However, I somehow got reverted back to the old version a few hours later and never actually figured out why, till now..
Apparently, after I got moved over to the new version, I actually switched my language preference in the settings from English (US) to English (UK). :| I sort of left it as it is since then and finally decided to find out the root cause today (after much cursing at how evil it was for me to be given access to the updated version for just a few hours..).
So if you still seem to be stuck in the old version, try the following (was suggested here):
- Click ‘Settings’ in your Gmail window (top right, close to ‘Sign Out’).
- In the drop down for ‘Gmail display language’, change it to ‘English (US)’.
Oh well, Gmail is still in beta..
More screenshots of the new version here.

Driver installation problems with Sony WALKMAN
Posted by Benny Chew in Gadgets, General Tech, Tips & Tweaks, Windows on July 7th, 2007
My sister got a Sony WALKMAN NW-E013F as a free gift recently and the installation of drivers continually terminated abruptly at about 70%. Initially she thought it was her fault but after some googling, it was Sony’s. >:| They somehow shipped CD-ROMs with defective drivers in them, which caused that installation troubles.
Taken from here:
Important information regarding the CD-ROM software supplied with the following WALKMAN: NW-E013/E015/E016/E013F/E015F/E016F
Some CD-ROM provided with the above mentioned models may not be used. Therefore, the Hardware Operation Guide (PDF) may not be opened and the Driver for Microsoft Windows 2000 users may not be installed.
If you’re having the same issues, just get the drivers from here and it should install fine. ;)
And here‘s the link to SonicStage 4.3 which is the software used to transfer your music to the device (similar to how iTunes works with the iPod).
Sony Asia Pacific’s announcement regarding this issue can be found here.

myIPneighbors provides a very quick and easy way to find out which other domains are hosted on the same server (IP would be more accurate I guess). If you have nothing better to do or just curious who else is on the same server as you, check it out.
