Digital Photo Frame

I really don't want to go to the IT Show coz I know I'll just drool over the latest gadgets in town.  I have nothing to buy and no money to spend plus I'm controlling my credit card usage.  Since my friends were eager to go with the crowd  *naghahanap ng sakit ng katawan hehehe* and find the best bargain for digital camera so I tagged along.  As expected everyone seems to be heading in that direction, the walk along CityLink Mall was already jammed and so was the overpass going to the Suntec Convention Center. 




What really caught my attention in the IT Show was the digital photo frame.  It's just like a small LCD made to look like a photo frame where you can load photos, slideshows, mp3 and even videos.  Isn't it fun to display your digital photos, then change every few seconds with background music? I can just imagine how great it would look in our living room back home.   But the frame didn't come cheap, it's ranging from $180 - $200++ for a mere 4R sized photo frame.   It's way too cool that I almost thought of buying one.  But  I managed to get hold of myself and just let my impulsiveness come to pass. *whew*




After going to the IT Show *twice*, I only managed to buy myself a sudoku handheld game (2 for $10) and 25pcs DVD-R.  I'm so proud of myself!

Lesson learned

I've been tasked to do some major modifications in a design document.  Since it's company policy not to copy any sensitive document to our local drive, I just made another copy on the same server to do my changes.  Yesterday morning I opened the document as usual and started doing my changes.  I clicked on  the save icon every once in a while to make sure my changes are saved.  At past 7pm as I was about to leave and almost gave myself a pat on the back for finishing the changes, something bizarre happened.  When I tried closing the document I got a message prompt to save my changes which is weird since I've been clicking the save button ever since. Whenever I try to save, the same prompt appears.  So I just cancelled and clicked on the save icon again, saved as usual (I thought) and no message prompt whatsoever.  But when I closed it again the message prompt was displayed again.  Since I was annoyed by the message and I'm eager to go home I just proceeded to close the document without saving.  In my mind I thought if there are changes I haven't saved since my last save, it would be minimal.  But I was wrong, I felt like crying when I opened the document again and found out all my changes for the day were gone.  I looked at the last modified date and it's still dated last Friday.   After a while I figured out what happened.  The #%^@#!*%^# server has no more space!  All along my changes were only saved in the memory, stupid MS Word, it should at least prompted some error when I click on the save icon. Another weird thing is I only attempted to close the file as I finished it, it's quite normal right?  or is it just me?
