Mobile External USB HDD Enclosures!

I passed by CDR-King yesterday and I couldn't resist buying the sleek aluminum HDD enclosure for only P640! Especially that it has a neon blue led lights that runs on its side and flickers every time there is an HDD activity. ^_^



Now I can have two HDD attached via the USB; the other one using the old USB to IDE cable featured on my last post.

Cribz on final development stage.

I'm very excited now; Cribz -- a mobile social site I was working on for the longest time is on it's final development stage. It promises a lot to integrate Web 2.0 and Mobile 2.0 by introducing community contents to mobile and mashing up with existing Web 2.0 providers such as Gmail, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo, Twitter, Digg, Del.icio.us, Google Maps, 30boxes, MyBlogLog and Flickr.

Here are some teaser-shots :D




Notice we blocked out the URL of the demo site and were using a stock theme (oh yes, we built it using Drupal!) On the far right column is the login box with option to authenticate using Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, or Facebook. What this does is cut down the registration process for validating users -- say bye bye to authentication mails that never gets into you mailbox for some weird reason.




This one shows the user profile, which is you home where it list all your recent and top rated contents and the messenger.



Now this is the interesting part but we don't want to disclose at the moment -- try figuring it out and leave comments :D
