Trip to Skydio

Went down to collect my free FON from Skydio earlier on after First System Release of CS3214. Being a good boy, I followed Richard’s instruction and printed out the email and went down there to look for Pearline with my IC. But I brought along Serene. Oops. It wasn’t stated that I can’t.

Another FON added to my collection. Using of the word “another” and “collection” sounds rather inappropriate as it sounds like I have many FON lying around at home. Well this set from Skydio is my second set. The first set took plane all the way from the States and it came with the 2 flat pin power plug. While this local/UK set comes with the standard 3 pin power plug we have. The good point? I can hook it up directly to my surge protected power strip and free up one slot on my UPS for other network devices.

Today seems like a bad day to collect FON from Skydio. Due to the upcoming IT Show 2007, they shifted their FON stocks over to the exhibition hall! The result? One poor guy and girl waiting for FON and employees calling each other in the office. The good thing? They apologized for the delay even though I am not a paying customer.

Got to hook up the FON after a good sleep. Been coding furiously on EJB 3.0 for the past few nights. Guess I will leave the FON virgin. I will continue to toy with the one from the States.

Just in case you don’t know. You can get FON from the local distributor during IT Show 2007 or get it from the website at www.fon.sg
