Installing Windows XP on a modern unsupported (Haswell) system in 2016

April 9, 2016 32 responses Yeo Kheng Meng hacks retrocomputing

(This is a long ~2900 words post, I recommend reading this from a tablet or computer) Windows XP is the second-longest supported operating system (OS) in Microsoft’s history. Support by Microsoft finally ended on 8 April 2014 after a record-setting 12.5 years.  The number one rank is technically* held by Windows 1.0 at 16 years from 1985 to 2001. *I Read More

March 31, 2016 no responses Yeo Kheng Meng presentation

The new Raspberry Pi 3 released on 29 Feb 2016 has issues with its UART port as the pinout GPIO 14/15 on the pin header is now based on a low throughput mini-UART which has baud rate problems. To understand the issue better and know how to solve them you can see the talk I Read More

Eagle to DIY PCB Etching

March 17, 2016 4 responses Yeo Kheng Meng hardware hacks

I design Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) as my part of my job. I also have some PCB projects outside of work with my most famous project among my peers being my PCB name card. A major problem PCB designers like myself face is time and cost. It takes about 2 weeks (1 week if you can Read More

It is affectionately known as a landfill island, where our incinerated trash gets sent. Who Read More

PCB Business/Name Card

September 12, 2015 one response Yeo Kheng Meng hardware hacks

I can’t count how many times I have received business cards only for me to forget about them shortly afterwards. I’m sure I’m not the only one that feel this way when you get a card from someone. For the technical-oriented, you can go directly to my Github link on this project. Lets jump right into Read More

My hopes for Singapore politics

no responses Yeo Kheng Meng politics Singapore

By now we should all know the poorer performance of the opposition this time round in GE2015 so I shall not harp on it already. I wrote a pro-PAP essay in an NUS module one year back just to go against the grain and my tutor even sent a personal message to say I did very well. I Read More

How I will “fix” the opposition wards after the election if I’m the PAP government?

September 7, 2015 one response Yeo Kheng Meng politics Singapore

This is meant to be satire and obviously does not represent what I desire to happen and I hope all these will never happen. I’m personally partial to the opposition. Just that I had these random thoughts and I had the urge to pen them down. I saved the best point for the last (11th point) Read More
