I had a MASSIVE headache last night before sleep. Serious shit. Glad that sleep works.

Ok. I decided to settle out one of my problems today. 'T was a very brave move I made. Haha.. And thanks to that, I can rest easily in these few days.

mp3 players are like an anesthetic, it numbs all our other senses in doing crucial things. Take a look at my situation: I got an mp3 player from mranz. He gave me because: "mp3 ni rosak-lah. ambik jela mp3 player ni. aku tatau pebenda kejadah kedegang kedebum ni". It's a 128 MB unknown mp3 player. The mp3 was in a horrible state when he gave me. So I felt the mp3 player at my desk.

So yesterday, while I was surfing the internet. I stumbled upon a discussion group about mp3 players. The consequence of reading some articles about player hardware leads me to stare at the mp3 player in front of me. I unpacked my 4 AAA-Tesco-made battery pack and quickly put one in the unlucky player. Hey, it works!. I unplugged my headset from the PC and cucuk it into the player. There are some trance tracks inside. Yeala, siapa tak kenal Imran. Raja shuffle Taman Jaya. Anyway, the song was playing, but..

Lol? Where's the bass?

Ok. betul cakap Imran. There's something wrong with this device. Surf the menus, no clue. No bass control. There is some equalizer settings there. Then, I saw something only IT geeks understands. Firmware. There's TWO buttons mentioning firmware there. Firmware version and Firmware upgrade. Hehe. The Firmware version menu sure gives me some relief. It states the current version of the firmware file installed in the device. There is only two lines in the LCD. I copied the Firmware information stated in the LCD to a paper.

I fire up google shortly after that. Results of the firmware filename leads me to the official website of the device. It's an s1mp3 player. What's more wonderful is, the mp3 firmware project is OPEN SOURCE. Haha.

Ok. I can't find anything in the site that helps me XD.

However, I managed to repair the mp3. How? I remembered last time, when I was experimenting about audio sockets, all of the audio bandwidth must be properly connected. Failure of that results in a distort in the audio quality.

After some audio socket tweaking, the mp3 was back to normal.
I laughed hardly after that.

Back to the story. I picked some of the quality tracks, and put in into the mp3 player. You know, when you were listening to quality tracks, you were like, morphed into the music. If the track were familiar with you, you will sing along loudly. And, if you had a bass earphone, things can be worse. You will not notice anything until the time comes. Seriously.

Imagine that wile riding a bike. Tangan aku dah pulas minyak habis maksimum dah. A stock Kriss 100 motorcycle can make around 150 super maximum. It was 140 tadi. My engine was revving like shit.. macam nak pecah je enjin tu. Tadi, ingatkan hujan sikit je. mp3 nye pasal. Balik2 rumah terus demam. Gila lebat hujan. Cuma aku je tak perasan. Till now.

Oh yea btw, I will have my final exam TOMORROW. Doom awaits me.

I found pics of myself in the past. Haha. Distant memories. I'll upload them to friendster if I'm not typically lazy..

End.
