中午約了朋友在尖沙嘴吃飯，離開的時候發現門口一個極不顯眼的地方停泊了這台80年代的Icon，馬上變得像小朋友般飛一樣的跑上去拍了兩張照片，可惜忘了開HDR，所以這張難得的法拉利328GTS相片質量一般。

車主看來極之喜歡這匹駿馬，連車牌也是以GT X328陪之，完美之至!

Finally I’ve completed the desktop migration to Dell Optiplex 990 SFF after using the antique Asus P2BD for 13 years, and currently I’m enjoying every moment with the new PC.

Today I suddenly realized my Dell Ultrasharp 2007FP (in 1600 x 1200 mode using DP to DVI) isn’t working properly with its Power Saving feature. The LCD Monitor power indicator button should become Amber (Less than 2 W), instead it stays as Green all the time with “No DVI-D Cable” signal floating around the screen. This means the LCD is still drawing full power (about 75W) and burning every pixel even the screen is blank.

Searched many places on the net and ended in vain mostly (in fact many people having problem with Dell’s LCD monitor not able to resume from Power Saving Mode, but this is not my case), Then I tried to connect my screen to a VGA and the power saving function worked perfectly, hum…I know it’s nothing to do with Windows 7 Power feature, definitely not my Ultrasharp 2007FP’s problem, so this leaves only one possibility, it must be the cable!

So I put back the original Dell DP to DVI Adapter with a DVI (male) to DVI (male) cable, guess what? The screen shows Going into “Power Saving Mode” and then the power button went to Amber, ha, now we are on the right track.

I couldn’t wait to solve this problem and I really don’t like the messy combination of Dell DP to DVI Adapter with the extra DVI cable. What I need is a simple DP to DVI cable that works! So I rushed to the computer store and bought me another little bit expensive DP to DVI cable (about USD15 and kind of hard to get only one shop got it) and rushed back, crossed my finger when turned on the monitor power.

No DVI-D Cable again and worst, my screen won’t come back even I moved the mouse, Shoot! Am I a victim of the infamous Dell LCD monitor isn’t being able to resume to normal in Power Saving Mode?

Luckily this isn’t the case after I restarted my PC, everything worked just as expected, my Dell Ultrasharp 2007FP worked as designed, Going into Power Saving Mode, then all lights become Amber, yeah!

So a cheap quality cable wasted at least 5-6 hours of my precious time searching for solution. I really hated it while I am searching for the answer, in fact, this is part of my daily job, ie, always involving in PROBLEM SOLVING in all kind of things, and I love it so much after finding the answer, kind of contradicting right? Yeah, dude that’s life unfortunately!

中午出門口的時候發現路邊”非法”停了台最新的Maserati GranCabrio Sport，高貴的白色襯以紅色的運動內飾來的極之動人，估計車主可能是位潮女，因為車牌的兩個英文字母是MR+4位數字，應該代表了她另一半的某些值得紀念的東西。

自己認為GranCabrio的樣子其實跟法拉利的California有七分相似，雖說大家都是開蓬，但GranCabrio比同一集團旗下的大哥California順眼多了，引擎咆哮時的聲音也動聽多了，而且價錢才California的一半，如果閣下有興趣購買台性價比超高的歐洲開蓬超跑，這台就是您不二之選的Hidden Treasure!

最後還是搞不懂為何開蓬永遠定價貴過硬頂，材料少了，而且噪音大，價錢卻貴一截，匪夷所思也!

今天發現了這個頗具品味的博客，來自台灣收藏家gaugau的拍攝技巧確實令人驚嘆不已。碰巧還發現了TK兄的蹤影，看來車模世界這個圈子還真不大啊，哈哈。。。
