8 more long-weekend opportunities beckon

The first long weekend of the year may have just ended on Monday, but relax, there are eight other occasions to plan an extended weekend getaway.

Four will coincide with public holidays that fall on either a Friday, Sunday or Monday - Chinese New Year (January), Good Friday (April), Hari Raya Aidilfitri (August) and Hari Raya Haji (October).

And as four other public holidays - Labour Day (May), National Day (August), Deepavali (November) and Christmas (December) - are on a Tuesday or Thursday, taking leave either on Monday or Friday can open up a four-day break.

Those eyeing a longer holiday can take the week off between National Day and Hari Raya Aidilfitri in August to create a 12-day stretch.

What exactly does Untethered Jailbreak mean?

Tethered = every time your device reboots or the battery dies you need to run the jailbreak software to turn your device back on.

Un-Tethered = you can reboot your device freely.

How To: Load a Custom ROM on the HTC Wildfire

I. Before You Begin

1. You MUST have done our How To Root (Unrevoked Method) procedure before doing this one.

II. Loading a Custom ROM

1. Head over to our ROMs section for your phone and choose a ROM you want to try. Download it and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip)

2. Plug the phone in via USB cable and mount the sd card so we can transfer files to it.

3. Copy the ROM .zip file and save it to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folders just on the sd card itself). Once it is done copying, unplug the phone from the usb cable.

4. Turn off the phone, then turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the white bootloader screen comes up (if it finds the PC36IMG.zip on your sd because you didn’t delete it, just say NO when it asks you if you want to update). Now using the volume buttons select Fastboot, then select Recovery and wait for the phone to boot into recovery mode.

5. Scroll to Wipe Data, select wipe data/factory reset and then select wipe dalvik cache.

6. Now scroll to Apply .zip from sd card and select the ROM .zip file we saved to the sdcard and wait for it to finish flashing. Once it is done, hit reboot and you are all set! Enjoy! If you want to flash a different ROM, simply redo this procedure and choose a different ROM.

Arrg more history on Leica lens!

Leica has always called its f/1.4 lenses "SUMMILUX," regardless of focal length or optical design. Thus SUMMILUX is a meaningless trademark, not any indicator of lens age, quality or design. All these lenses are sold as "SUMMILUX" lenses.

History

1961 ~ 1990: 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M (11 870)

The first 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M (11 870) had 7 spherical elements in 5 groups. It's a conventional double-Gauss design.

It weighs 245g and is only 38mm long.

In the beginning, it also came in a version with additional finder optics (11 871) for use on the M3.

By itself, this first 35/1.4 focuses to 1m, and with the M3 reducing optics, focuses to 0.65m.

The first version, up to serial 2,166,700, used a bizarre 41mm filter, then was changed to use series VII instead. Neither size is easy to find today.

The first version used the 12 586 hood, and the latter uses the 12 504 hood.

It has come in silver and in black.

An optical advantage of this first version 35mm f/1.4 is that its mostly symmetrical design produces no distortion, unlike the slightly stronger distortion (bending of straight lines) of the newer aspherical versions.

This first version is pretty soft at f/1.4 and can't use easy-to-find filters, which limits its appeal, but its lack of distortion and having the same sharpness as the current lenses stopped down can make it a winner.

1990 ~ 1994: 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M Aspherical (11 873)

LEICA made a 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M Aspherical with 9 elements in 5 groups.

This first aspherical version had two aspherical surfaces, and concave (inward-curving) front and rear elements.

It was discontinued after only four years.

1994 ~ today: 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M ASPH (11 874, 11 883)

This current 35mm f/1.4 SUMMILUX-M ASPH came out in 1994, and 15 years later, is still LEICA's current version.

It has only one aspherical surface.

It also has concave (inward-curving) front and rear elements.
