I'm still alive

I've noticed that traffic for this site went down a lot since I stopped posting often. Actually I've moved to another site where I do the main blogging, but it doesn't get the same amount of traffic as this site just yet. Actually traffic to this site fell more than it increased on the other one. I'm kind of sad. :(

Anyway, I've been writing about Computex 2010 that I went to recently. It was a really great show and makes me think if I might have a future in technology. Can't rule out the possibility that I will be supplying schools with all sorts of cheaper and improved alternatives to all the expensive stuff they already buy. Also think it could be fun to see if I can open up a webshop and sell eReaders or other gadgets, but I didn't have any related education in those kind of things except for Marketing and I have no money to start out with. Maybe I'll start an import webshop later in my life if I find some costumer interest in Denmark later in my life.

Anyway, have a look at my post on Computex Booth Designs:

Epic loot

by Sander Tams 24. September 2009 16:51

Let me tell you about the loot I got from the Guanghua Digital New Plaza raid yesterday. Iz epix.

 

This time I got really lucky. Found a laptop that is just perfect for my class so that I can perhaps soon get me into some more high game instances, and I didn't even waste all of my DKP yet. Actually less than half: 28.000 NT$ to be exact (that's about 865 US$ or 4350 DKK), and that is for everything: Laptop, USB mouse, operative system and related shit plus a free computer bag and misc. I haven't checked yet.

Guanghua Digital New Plaza

by Sander Tams 23. September 2009 16:50

Finally I got it done. Today I went and bought a Taiwanese laptop computer. And where to buy such a thing here, you think?

 

Of course at Taipeis electronics paradise, Guanghua Digital New Plaza.

 

Inside it's full of stores like this: With logos, laptops and lights everywhere.

 

Computers are only a part of what they're selling here. There's pretty much anything electronics related here, and if you cannot find it inside, you will find it outside in the area around the plaza where all the shops are related to electronics up to severeal kilometers away.

 

If you don't know already, my pictures are a lot higher resolution than they're resised to here in the blog, so you can always right click on them and choose "view image" or something like that in order to see the full version of an image.

 

See, all sorts of strange devices and advertisement banners everywhere too.

 

Carrying the loot. In the background is the main entrance(s) and the mascot.

 

Lots of people moving around during this time. This is just about 6pm so probably a lot of people are going home from work or going out to eat or have fun in the city.

 

As you can see, around this area, only electronics and their accessories are sold.

 

When we got into the MRT station, we weren't even able to get into the first train. It was actually so stuffed, that a businessman who went into it last, almost got stuck in the door as it closed.
We wouldn't risk causing technical difficulties in the MRT during the most busiest hour of Taipei while also carrying around a big box of computer and a bunch of other stuf, so we waited for the next train which came just about a minute later, still with just as many people in. But we were first in the line so we were able to squeeze into it anywa. As you can see, damn many people there still.

 

Damn many people. Really hard to carry around a several kilo heavy laptop plus bag and misc. in such heavy traffic.

 

More hordes of azns.

Let me tell you about my epic lewt tomorrow. For now, may you have a good nights sleep. I know I will.
