Not sure if anyone interested but I bought some stuff from Amazon again... Ya.. again..

This time got good reasons... I love running but I got flat feet (both feet) and plantar fasciitis (right foot). SO I need shoe insole to help elevate my foot. Been using 2 ft custom feet and it cost more than $300 plus now.. So ex.. And I also notice the recent 2 ft insole are not as good quality as before. So I manage to see some insole online and decided to try them out.

I will probably use this for running shoes as they are thicker.

Spenco Rx Orthotic (3/4 Length), Women's 9-10 / Men's 8-9

I will use this for working shoes as they are thinner.

Spenco Rx Thinsole (3/4 Length)

My kneel start to pain after long distance running, and the kneel straps are advise by my pharmacist. But local strap are so ex! 1 strap can cost more than $20. Anyway, these straps from amazon cost US$16 for 3. Don't wait already..

Is there one in Singapore?

[AlisaWu 4]

that's not just glass, the material looks like it's flexible....

anyway.. my dad just uses a big glass jar that's lying around the house and cut a coin slot on the cap..

as for cable management, you can try this

eh... these knee straps really work ? i used to use knee guards (can only buy at sgh pharmacy only) frequently but nowadays, only need to use them except when i'm hiking really long distances...but they're a pain to put on and off when wearing pants...these look to be easier to take on and off...

these ones, no need so atas and buy at home fix lah...go to sim lim 3rd floor or so and buy a whole pack of them, really cheap...i think even popular stocks them but in really CMI colours...mine are from popular, i think...

eh kim, regarding the backup, i think i've sort of decided that instead of building (casing + psu + m/board + cpu = $530), i will get the synology ds413j...not the prettiest, but ok lah, 4bays give me about 6TB usable with raid 1 config...cheapest store i found is $513 on 5th floor sim lim, can't remember the name but am waiting for IT show in early march, may have promotions...

I will get a Ikea glass container and cut a slot at the top as a last resort. But now will keep looking out for nicer one...

Plan to keep it in the living room and when guests some, they can help to top up... :sport-smiley-004:

Oh ya... I have left quite a bit of the cable coil u posted... Must be somewhere in my storeroom...

Problem is I may still add stuff, that's why I have been delaying the cable tiring part...

I will feedback after I got them... Your kneelguard is the big piece one? I don't like those big one cos I will be looking like a uncle running... Just one piece of strap still look pretty good.. Like part of my running accessories... Haa.. :sport-smiley-004:

The cable strap not that expensive ma... Less than US$4 for 50 pcs leh :bleah:

I am also think about the same synology.... But I was thinking do I really need a NAS or I just need a HDD enclosure?

I'm eyeing this Probox and it is selling at SLS for only $169 for USB3 & eSATA, $259 for extra RAID function. I may get one to backup all my stuff first :notti: then if next time I really need a NAS, then I upgrade...

Still thinking.....

can afford to crash and loss data = HDD enclosure

Cannot afford to loss data = NAS RAID 1/5
