Thermoelectric Peltier Cooler for my Aquarium

Been working on a d.i.y project. It's a TEC water cooler project, in which i hope it will reduce the temperature of my 5 ft aquarium to at least 3 degrees below ambient. Hopes are high, since the waterblock is so small, i don't think it will have any effect at all to the water temp. Since i got all the things laying around, (except for the TECs). so i just built everything up and see whether it works.

I used 2 TEC peltier coolers, attached to a simple pump, and a PC power supply. Still in testing, or should i say "proof of concept" stage.

What a mess.

Bigger home for Aro (and turtles).

Just would like to archive a quick update on my Arowana's tank. My inital tank setup for my XB arowana was the tank given by my dad, with measurements of 3 x 1.5 x 2 ft. It was okay for the juvenile aro, but since i was planning for a 25 years of lifespan for my aro, the tank will definitely need an upgrade sooner or later.

The initial tank setup. The tank that started everything. It has a simple overhead filter, and i run one extra powerhead with aeration. 

So during the last CNY, there was a great offer by my nearby LFS (local fish shop) for a 5 x 1.5 x 3 ft tank. So the opportunity was grabbed, and so my aro gets a bungalow. lol.

iOS 6.1 all devices jailbreak.

This news might be a bit late, but, just happy to inform, that the iOS6.1 jailbreak is already out a few days ago. It's called evasi0n.

The jailbreak is pretty easy, reminds me of the last jailbreakme.com. Complete steps are self explanatory within the evasi0n web itself.

The passion for Aro

It was during the late weeks of December 2012, when my dad decided to clear the backyard of our home. It was then i noticed an old aquarium laying there without any purpose, except for taking up the storage space. A glimpse of memory flashes through my mind, on how when i was a little kid, my dad used to have a silver arowana (on a bigger tank), and how me and my dad used to go to the local fish shop, bought some mealworms, crickets and later baby frogs, and give it to the arowana for it to have a feast on. It was great, until a couple of years later when the grown up arowana (i think about 2 feet long) jumped out of the aquarium late at night, only for us to discover the dead fish in the morning on the carpet.

Manly library

This picture speaks for itself. Lol.

I still think he's a great sportsman though.

Semenyih Waterfall Mountain Biking

Here it is, the first offroad ride for 2013. Can be considered a relaxed ride. Probably because there were too many relaxing point during the ride.

The trail was just slightly over 9km. But it took us almost 2 hrs. The reason?

2013

Hello 2013.

Although it's already 2nd Jan, i guess it's still not late for a Happy New Year wish!

Guess what, i still have this on my table:

So i guess 2012 is not the end of the world, at least yet. I bought the book when one of my colleague was doing some kind of direct selling of books in my office, and i just wanted to somehow help to support him. That was in 2011 i think. So i ended up with this particular book since then on my messy office table, alongside with other "i dunno what" things that makes my table a mess everyday.

Oh yeay, and i still haven't finished reading it too. I just read, like 10 pages or so. Then it serves as the second purpose as a place to put my coins on since then.

And now since it's already 2013, i guess i will never read the book anyway.

Happy 2013 guys, may it'll be a prosperous year for us all.
