PS3 Slim Died! Never Fear! PS3 Hard Reset Is Here!

Had a very bad day yesterday when my PS3 Slim decided to go beserk and not work. Nothing would start, the main menu would freeze, haven't a clue on what happened to cause it (other than the fact I was downloading an add-on in the background for Batman Arkham Asylum). Anyhow, feeling frustrated, I decided to leave it for the night, and look at it again in the morning.

After some Googling, I found this site with information on starting the PS3 in "safe-mode", thereby giving you the options shown in the picture above. I have all options in the order above, only having to restore the PS3 system as my last resort. All worked well, and now the PS3 is back in business!

But....lost a lot of my previous game data, which means I would need to play 200+ hours again to get back all the saved game data which was wiped out during the system restore.

Ah well....better get started then!

Homeward Bound (For 2 Weeks)

We're setting off later this evening to UK for a couple of weeks. Can't wait to see Manchester and Ashton-under-Lyne again, not to mention to catch with friends and family and of course do a bit of driving! I haven't been driving for more than a year now since I have been in Taiwan, feels like my legs have gone! We're taking a lot pineapple cakes, which Taiwan is famous for, back to friends and family in UK, and some other gifts too. On the way back, we'll bring back all sorts of stuff to Taiwan, so another post on that when I get back. Not sure whether I'll be able to get online as often, but will try my best to keep my blog updated as much as possible while I am over in UK. My grand parents also arrived in UK from Hong Kong to attend my brother Jimmy's wedding. So time would probably be spent travelling around and take to places to see and have fun. Don't worry, as always, I'll be taking pictures! It will be Amelie's first time visit to UK...

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.

Superman Snappy

Snap the man of steel and score points! My first attempt, I got 82. This will just have to do until I get a new camera.
