Bricked Sony NEX-3 due to Firmware Update & My Solution
Earlier in the evening, I tried to update the Firmware for the Sony NEX-3 using my Macbook Pro and you can say that I had the shocked of my life when the following happened. Like all camera firmware, you can download the updated firmware from Sony’s own website and that’s what I did. Logged into the site, browse through to the download page, select the right camera make, select Mac OS X 10.6.5 and download.
Load up the NEX-3V3_Update1010a.dmg I downloaded and follow all the instruction that was on display until Mac’s seldom appeared ‘Kernel Panic‘ came up and need me to reboot my computer. Taking a look at the camera, there’s no reaction on the screen no matter what button I press on or even turning the switch off and on again. A little LED in the battery compartment was lit and that’s about it. (more…)
The New Look of MIKEYIP.COM
Since mikeyip.com was born in 2007 when it started off with the basic WordPress template, it has gone through approx. 4 changes to it’s look with 1 looking like this where some of my photos was showcased at the top while everything else is just your usual blog but it is quite troublesome whenever I want to update the 3 images at the top of the site.
Back in 2010, I put this site through another revamp and it started to look like this image below where through a simple java script, I get the header to rotate like a gallery featuring 6 of my latest work and I could easily change the images just by replacing the files on the server. It feels much more smoother and professional in a certain manner but it wasn’t enough…
Something was lacking from it all and it was early January when I sat down with a few friends and started talking about my own site. They say it was high time for my site to be much more than just a blog as I actually use it as a promotional tool as well for my ‘business’ and this was further reinforced by some emails I received from fellow photographers from US and England. So a week of slouching in front of the computer staring at all the codes and stuff like that along with my designer. I hope that this could be it! It’s 2011, Feb 1st and I would like to say mikeyip.com is READY for it’s next phase in life! There’s still a few bugs here and there but that could be worked out slowly while the major component is all up and running.
What do you think? I’ve separated my site into several categories through the navigation. With easy access to my portfolio, a normal blog and another just for Travel and Food related stuff as I’ve been bugged for some time to set up a dedicated one just for my travel and food related postings (and I know if I set up another blog outside of this, it won’t get updated that often… case in point is zique.org).
There’s also a contact form for clients and advertisers to reach me, it is still buggy but I hope the form would be fixed before Chinese New Year. With the year of the Metal Rabbit just 2 days away, here it is. The NEW mikeyip.com! Feel free to browse around and let me know what you think by commenting in my post.

You know your browser’s old when you get this message from a website “The Internet has come a long way. Unfortunately your browser is still partying like it’s 1999.”
Yup, that’s what I got when I went into Oakley’s website. Quite a cool red bar at the top telling me how bloody old the browser on this computer I’m using.
What browser are you currently using? Have you updated yours lately?
Apple iPhone’s latest OS 3.0 Is Released!
Which Apple is Yummier?
The iPhone 3G’s OS 3.0 is out now!
For current iPhone owners, just go to the iTunes, plug in your iPhone and click on Update for it to start.
The installation is quite fast too and from what I’ve played around on the iphone, I like what I see and feel.
Of course, there’s some things that you can get in the iPhone 3Gs that isn’t available on the update thought. For more details on what is available on the latest update, click here.
