The Motorcycle Diary

I opened this booklet again today.
It is still hot here. The sun burns outside but Che's diary leads me towards an untouchable wonderland. Far far away, but there lays peace.
I always wonder, if, one day, in my entire life, I could lay down on a piece of grass, do noting but stare into the sky, see how fast the clouds can catch the light. But I clearly understand, my peace, is worth less, compare to the destiny which we have been desired thus far.

She stayed, crying through rain and glass
clouded with grief and tears
She stayed, unable to cry
Wait! I will come
walking with you.

May the glory be with you.

Free Computer Books

Intelligentedu.com lists a collection of free computer books for programming, networking, neural network, OS, so on and so on. It take days to figure out those documentations which I need.
Postponed one exam, molecular model building, to the next exam session in September: I need time to remember the structures of the 20 amino acids.......
And Apple discontinued its single-processor PowerMac G5 in favor of an all dual-chip lineup.

Open Solaris

Sun Microsystems released Solaris 10 as open-source software on June 14, 2005. Solaris was a widely used version of Unix during the explosion of dot-com. But it began falling due to the popularization of Linux and other open source rivals. Sun targets this release toward the developers and holp it can re-compet with Red Hat, IBM and Microsoft. Sun aslo provides integrated Sun Java Enterprise System components and the Sun Java Desktop System.

Longest Day

Annual activity, promotion on the longest day, came back today. Hot hot and hot. The sun's hot and the people're hot. It is one of the longest days in my life. Tired.

Header, template and MSN Spaces

I adapted the background picture of the header while trying to keep the original style of the template.
I played with MSN Spaces for a while last night on a Windows machine and I have to say that MS did it quite well. There are a number of fancy .Net features e.g. drag&drop layouting plus photo albums. It is nicely integrated into MSN messenger 7. I was quite happy. But there are still some drawbacks:
1. Compatibility. Well, it is expectable while bearing the name "MS"N Spaces. I need IE6 to see those features.
2. Customization. I spent quite a while trying to figure out how could I change the out look (I am not satisfied by those templates MS offered, although there are a lot. And I am critical to the appearance), but I can't find a way to set one of my drawing as the background, neither as the header. There seems no way to edit the code either. Good or bad? Depends.
3. One ID one space.
4. Lack of spell checker.
Conclusion: It is a very nice feature that MS offered. My friends are sticking there and blogging everyday. It seems they won't move to any other instance messenger recently. MS won again. I saw many non-blog people started blogging by sharing their photos first. But I won't be able to join them simplely because I am using a sh!t Mac and I don't care much if my friends' goin to read my blog or not. The world is now MS's and I am also expecting a major update of MSN messenger:Mac, which was announced during the WWDC keynote.

Wuhan, yeah, Wuhan!

I just received a bird view of Wuhan, a fancy city on the Yangzi river, from one of my friends who is temperately working there. PSed to make it small.

Mac's back

I've been suffering the hard disk failure of my powerbook for weeks and finally it's been replace by an AASP engineer. I lost almost all my data, reports and thesis codes. Anyway, I am considering if I need an apple care.....
Exams came and I am quite busy. I hope this would be the final year....
Apple decided to switch to Intel, which is really funny. All the enemies are good.....
