Acronis TrueImage vs. Norton Ghost vs. Symantec Ghost
Based on the reviews and comments here, most people had commented that Symantec Ghost is by far the most reliable image backup solution than other counterparts, however, it is not to be compete with home user software such as the two mentioned as it is corporate edition.

2010 Final Day.
in
random thoughts
- on 8:08 PM
It is this time of year again, the final day of 2010.
There is indeed quite a lot of interesting things that had happened in my life. Just for reminiscence, among the notable ones are undergoing my semester industrial training at a nice company - Integricity and meeting all the colleagues that working there.
I must say that one of the major things that I had purchased for this year is none other than my powerful gaming i7 rig. Well I only bought it as my laptop GPU had died on me after serving me a faithful 3 years. Every now and then I would need to bake it (yes, literally) in an oven just to 'resurrect' it should the same problem happen again. Come to think of it, the rig really costs a bomb yet it is really a worth purchase. I never need to concern about the numbers of program I open. I think it's better to put it this way, everything related to PC performance is nothing of a concern except electricity. Yes, the i7 and the 5870 certainly drained up quite some power but I managed to keep it at minimal using various power saving mode. But I'm not a bragging person, except when I am being asked about it. xD
Well I guess that's wrapped it out. Below are among the things that I had done and learned:
- Garmin Developer for voice content and POI.
- Learning various computer troubleshooting at client place, e.g. backup, server installation and migration, web hosting package, etc..
- Customizing mods for games like RE5 and GTA4.
- PC Overclocking and benchmarking.
- Latest CPU and GPU specification.
- folding.
- Playing video in 60 FPS using morphing technique.
- Movie critique :-D
I would say that I had become a more better person that I am before. Hopefully 2011 will be another great year for me to improvise myself and keep the mother earth green.
I shall come out with a 2011 wish list tomorrow. Cheers and enjoy your last day of 2010.

Customizing GTA4 mods
in
game mod
- on 5:41 PM
The following software (SparkIV) can be used to open GTA files (.rpf) for you to mod. I use this to change some sound effect file that can be located at 'C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto 4\pc\audio\Sfx'. The possibilities are endless with this. You can change the GPS voice, vehicle engine sound or just simply preview and listen to how much effort had Rockstar give to produce this popular open sandbox game.
The only problem that I had is that after playing the sound for some time it will crash. Nothing to worry about as a simply relaunching the program will do.
Customizing your Garmin Voice
in
tutorial
- on 4:59 PM
To copy the voice file, just extract them to your Garmin Voice folder, e.g F:\Voice\.
After that, turn on your nuvi device and go to Tools > Settings > Language. Then select the voice language to use.
Note:
* For those sound that marked with ***, it will replace the American English file. So make sure you backup and remove the original american_english_.vpm in your voice folder beforehand.
* If you wish, you can manually change the language ID using Voice Editor utility to something else, e.g. Norski.
Custom Voice Pack
- Arnold Schwerzenegger***
Link: Megaupload
* Voice from the California Governer, Arnold himself.
- Borat (Displayed as Arabic)
Link: Megaupload
* Voice from the Celebrity Borat.
- Fukien (Hokkien) (Displayed as Catala)
Link: Megaupload
* Fukien (Hokkien) dialect. I had personally re-indexing the voice file to work with the nuvi version because the original index voice sample that works with mobile version doesn't match the nuvi version.
- Garmin Devil***
Link: Megaupload
- Sexy Sedara***
Link: Megaupload
* Sexy lady voices. Be careful of the kids in your car when using it.
- British (Displayed as American English)
Link: Megaupload
* Edited with 'beep beep' sound before some sentence and some voices from GTA4 GPS.
Additional official voice pack can be downloaded from official Garmin site (http://www8.garmin.com/vehicles/voices/) or through the Web Updater.
Software
- Voice Editor v0.8 (Megaupload)
Open it and select the vpm files. It will create a folder corresponding to the vpm filename. Inside the folder are the separate .wav files for the voice. Replace the .wav files to change the voice to something else.
- NonTTSVoice Editor (http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/NonTTSVoiceEditor)
I prefer the voice editor over this as the former is much easier to use and allow custom user sentence playback.
- TTSVoice Editor (http://turboccc.wikispaces.com/TTSVoiceEditor)
Use this to customize the sentence. *Work with TTS (Text-To-Speak) voice file only.
For example, changing the sentence 'recalculating' to 'proceed to alternative route'.
- Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows)
Perfect audio software to create your custom voice. Make sure each custom voice is exported to .wav format using the following settings:
WAV (Microsoft 4 bit IMA ADPCM, quality: 89 kbps, 22050 Hz, mono, 16 bit
Voice Testing
After you had downloaded the voice pack, make sure to test the voice by using the Simulation function. You can activate it by turning off the GPS function via Tools > Settings > System > GPS Off.
