Rained for the Entire Weekend, in CA :(

But did 100 miles anyway, in the storm ... ... totally different feeling.

Couldn't find a better chance to test the mood of DSG, especially when everyone else stays home ... well, sort of. Saw a black MCS, a white Z4 (top up, of coz) , 2 motorcycles and only 2 Ferraris.

My Wife Has Record at HomeDepot

During check-out, the guy asked for my home phone number and, guess what, it was already in the system, only with my wife's name on it. Pretty surprised...

yum

yum successfully installed the following, which I was not able to install from scratch:

mplayer
gaim
ntfs

The process is so simple that it is shocking, compared to the growing dependency requests which last forever in the configure-make-makeinstall or rpm way.

Another sign that things have improved over the years.

Fedora Core 4 on T41

Installing Linux on PC is no longer a daunting task, because after I had it working on my 1 year old T41, I do not really feel like wrting up some detailed installation notes. Fedora Core 4 pretty much works out of the box as installed from the 4 CD-ROMs or the 1 piece DVD. Ironically, the downloading took me longer.

Only a few tihinhs worth mentioning:

1. Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 Driver for Linux

A year ago I was using LinuxAnt, a wrapper on top of the correspongin Window XP driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 card. The installation was easy and the wrapper/driver is easy to use (through redhat-config-network) and stable. But the LinuxAnt wrapper is not free. After 30 days you need to buy a license although it is not expensive at all. I was screwed by someone and left the country. For the summer of 2004 I was pretty much on dial-up on the edge of my bed (see old posts dated last summer) and WLAN was not necessary so I did not bother to pay for the driver.

After this much time, things have improved. There is a completely open source solution: Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 Driver for Linux, following the installation guide included in the download, it was relatively easy. The prosess did not exactly match the descriptions, but again I managed to get it working with the system-config-network utility, even encryption works fine and the wireless link is automatically established on every reboot despite an irritating error message on system startup (something about frequency, it does not matter).

2. Screen resolution.

Somehow the same screen does not as good in Linux as in OS X and Windows, it is always a bit blurry. Besides I was always a little worried while selection the display hardware type during installation. This time I was a bit brave and choose 1400x1050 on the IBM LCD (still selection generic LCD in installation) and it actually looks pretty good on KDE. One funny thing: GNOME desktop looks misplaced after I bumped up the resolution, changing configurations did not seem to help. One day I was bored and used my mouse to drag the task bars around the desktop ... ... After a few spins the problem is gone! The twisted screen corrects itself and everything comes back to normal! Now I have 1400x1050 on GNOME as well as in KDE. No extra configuration is needed.

Now there are two babies in the neighbour yard.

Somebody did this write-up and saved me tons of typing. I have not finished reading the entire thing yet. But judging from his colour choice I must agree with him :DDD Anyway, I would prefer more time behind the wheel than the keyboard!

Little Kelvin Is Sick Today

When I came back from dinner, little Kelvin is gone! My neighbour took their 18-month Kelvin to the hospital after realizing that he is having a light fever in the late afternoon... It might have been the water spray in the morning, or simply too much fun in the yard throught the day.

Hope little Kelvin is fine :)

A Fun Run

It has been quite a while...since my lasgt post... All right, even the profile pages seems to have changes and all my "recent" posts are gone. A lot of things have happened and it could be the reasone of no posting (another reasone would be nothing really happened, which is not the case this time).

My wife can finally took over the Mini when she can drive herself to school every day. So I have the little machine for the weekend. One thing to do is to mount a video camera on it and take it to the moutains through 84 and 35 ... Unfortunately I cannot upload the videoS here ...

For the record, practically I was not actually speeding. According to the speedo in the videos, I was going 50-ish, around the limit.

What A Week

What a week......

Matt13.com - OpenOffice.Org or Microsoft Office

Matt13.com - OpenOffice.Org or Microsoft Office

This seems interesting. I use OpenOffice because first of all it is legally free and secondly it is not from M$ and last but not least it can export to PDF file which I find very useful when I am printing across platforms (Linux, Mac, Windows, Solaris, HP ...).

Since I do not care about most of the features, stability and performance are the main concern. So far I am pretty happy with my OpenOffice. It could be interesting if I can have a chance to try Apple's Pages.

Our Janitor

Our janitor came to my cube later today, after almost everybody had left, and asked if I was getting ready to move.

Our janitor said he never saw it coming, that our company is merged by another one and now we are moving. He said he though we are gonna stay for a long long time. He said he had worked in the previous place for 25 years.

Our janitor has the coolest car in our parking lot, a 90's black Vette. Cold and dark under the tree. No one else even come close.

Our janitor even rememberd my name, even though I don't exactly remember his and was too embarrased to ask again.

Our janitor is the only black people here, in this all Chinese-Russian shop. But he's cool.

Our janitor said good-bye and we shook hands. He's gone just like our receptionist, HR (yyyyes!), finace and my ex-boss.

Back to the Dark Ages

Got dragged to watch the Star Wars the other day, such a waste of time - I feel better washing dishes for 2 and half hours.

In a country where Yoga is cool and Buddhism is spiritual, you kind of figured what people would do for such a long series of movies (yes, I just said it, it is too long, too much). It is simply a one-page, 5-minute story streched into a decades-long third-rated plastic cartoon, where pigs fly, elephants work in the government (...) and top guns flight with AA battery powered light bulbs - they call it "light sabre", a kitchen knife would have been far more leathal for advanced space age when people dress like homeless in Chinese Tang Dynasty (only a little more than 1000 years ago, about 4 times the age of America). Don't they just love retro? This trend has been noticed ever since the Matrix. People in the future just so dig the style.

I guessed (using the word guess here is almost an insult to myself) then entire "story" within the first 2 minutes. The rest of the time is just for ticking the boxes and checking the time.

Suck you must, if you like to speak backwards like a mystic, 320-year old some "lord" without underware, read this:

siht daer `erawrednu tuohtiw "drol" emos dlo raey-023 `citsym a ekil sdrawkcab kaeps ot ekil uoy fi `tsum uoy kcus.

Forget about Si-Fi. All you can do is reality TV, eating worms, 3-some, breast surgery, pimping $50 cars, UFOs, police chasing pickups and rap. Or do you have films, where I couldn't help thinking about LAPD talking to an illegal immigrant from eastern-Europe while watching this Star Wars thing... I also remember seeing Chinese villagers speaking Japanese in American movies as well. And there was one film where a bounch of Chinese policemen in a car chase with an American businessman in a Chinese city - remember, Chinese cops do not drive at all. Marked police cars are driven by chauffeurs used to send in-laws home, not out-laws to the station.

First DELL Impression

Not that I wanted to buy one, I got one from work which was delivered today. It's a proper machine, solid, functional with all the usual stuff (4 USBs, wonder who would ever need that many in a laptop, but no 1394). Yet it looks 5 years old in its dreary gray plastic right from the box ... yes the IT guys have had them for a while to install the system, but for a one-day-old computer, the Latitude D610 looks pathetic, and feels that way too - it is so hot that it makes the one-year old T41 feels refreshing.

One advantage: it won't be stolen from the office, who would bother to do that? It is a smart choice in that way.

Final Gear Final?

This happened only 3 weeks after I found this nice site.

Even BBC did not say a word! The ISP just gave an ultimatum to Final Gear, demanding that all downloads to be taken away or they will take action.

It sucks. Think about this, even Top Gear (BBC) did not say a word, you really think they do not know this?

Lucky me. I have downloaded all available episodes till now. Time to burn a few DVDs.

Top Gear & Fifth Gear

Nice TV programming. Wonder Americans could ever produce anything close to that. I can now really hear some engine noise and human voice, not electrical "music" or redneck screaming. And finally, I can watch a car show without pickups... or at least, a show that test drives a pickup in the correct way :D

It's Been A Month Since MCS Arrival

Roof

Haven't posted a thing, for obvious reasons :D

Got MCS Today!

Well, actually, yesterday, March 22nd. We were too busy driving it around town as well as on a few streches of 280. It was raning heavily but the Mini just went like a magnet.

Yes.

MCS Arrived at Distribution Center...

Eventually!

New Features In Picassa 2

This image is generated by Picassa from four pictures I picked from a library. the original photos are not square by Picassa managed to crop a square out of each photo and it looks not bad.


photo collage generated by Picassa

Another good feature is to generate a web page from selected foder. I write code every day but I really hate to write HTML or XML or any web-related code. The page is very simplistic but in a very pleasant way. A photo webpage should not contain anything more eye-catching than the photos themselves, which kind of follows the Google Way.

Picassa can also send selected pictures using Gmail or some other email services. One good thing: it automatically resizes the pictures. Although I am no longer surprised when I open an email sent to me by a friend which contains pictures, 9 out of 10 times the pictures are over 1000 pixes on each side which blows up the entire screen. Yes, some people really do not know that they can resize their pictures!

Yet Another Guy Got Dooced

On NBC 11 News, a guy was fired by Google after saying that the comany was "doing very well" on his personal blog. He did not seem too upset about this on the TV. I am not sure if the lesson has been learned yet, but how hard is it to NOT talk about work on your blog? Come on.

How Long Does It Take to Get Here from Britain

By sea?

The MCS is "en route" today!

At the End of President's Day

Did not go on vacation.

Yet we drove to 84-CA1 AGAIN. This route is perhaps the only one we would drive around doing nothing. It must have rained heavily yesterday in the mountian for the road was quite wet. I have not changed tires for over 20000 miles and the thread is almost gone. Result: figure skating on winding mountain roads of Highway 84. However I managed to go through without a skid.

The last 10% of thread on the Bridgestone went by at lightening speed. Last time I checked (about a month ago) it looked just fine. Now they are all bald. Hate to allocate 400 bucks for rubber again :(

It Does NOT Matter If You Come Later

Years have passed before Google touched online maps and driving directions, yet they can still make it refreshing and stunning in Google's way. We have been so used to the way we use Yahoo Maps, Mapquest and Maponus that people kind of forgot there are other ways to design an online map.

These guys are good at what they're doing. These guys are good at new ideas.

Scheduled for Production

Feb 5th 2005. Oxford, England

After 47 days of waiting, The Mini is scheduled for production. And it already has its VIN! Now I am starting to get worried about how to squeez a good deal from the bank. Anyway, this is a cornerstone.

Boom.

200k Miles, on the Go

Arriving at 200k miles, I-5, San Diego

The civic reaches 200 thousand miles on its original engine and 5-speed tranny, 2nd clutch plate. Still doing 37-plus mpg on mixed road daily commute. The numbers are even better on freeway. Oil changes are done more frequently now at intervals ranging from 1500 to 2500 miles. Runs strong.

LA Sucks

Wife is taking a shower and I am blogging. The hotel has free wireless internet connection.

Things went up and down quite a few times in the past day and half.

First of all ever since the end of Chirstmas holidays, it began to rain like hell all over the Sunny State, from Tahoe all the way down to San Diego. Our plan A for new year's holiday is at the mercy of the weather as well as plan B - that's the worst part. Plan A is to visit LA (mostly Disneyland and Hollywood) and San Diego (a friend relocated there because of work stuff). If the rain does not stop, it will be quite the opposite of fun for sure. Plan B is going sightseeing and skiing in Tahoe. However due to heavy storm and the altitude of the Tahoe region, it is getting even worse... Our near 200k-mile Civic, although understated, will probably start loosing grip of the planet as we go further north in the snowing reagion, but renting a 4x4 is like... burning a hole in the budget.

We finally took a gamble and took I-5 south, betting that the weather could not possibly get any worse if bay ares is drenched. We were delighted that it was sunny and almost charming after the clearing storm although sometimes we drove into under a raining cloud the size of a mile or two. But that's it. The clearing storm is much better than dull clear blue sky, with a few rainbows as a little surprise. Best part: LA has a snow-capped mountain. For a split of a second we were wondering whether we were driving to, Tahoe?

Disney was fun, especially when my wife made a mistake thinking that the Twilight Zone is some kind of haunted house. It is, as a matter of fact, a drop zone featuring multiple, irregular 1G-lauching and falling "elevators" in the so-called "hotel". I was never successful in tempting her to a test ride in the drop zone but this time, she dragged me with her into that only to realize the true story too late to call it quit. Result: freaking-out, testified by on-site monitoring camera.

Due to the last-minute decison of LA over Tahoe, we did not book and hotels. And there is no way we could have imagined how much Americans like to stay out of home on New Year's Eve. Yes, we planned our holiday so carelessly that we ended up going to Disneyland on the New Year's Eve and I only realized this AFTER we got there. Hotels are booked. 40-buck Motels are asking for 99 plus tax for one bed. Srew you! We are going somewhere else.

But where? Since the plan for the next day was Universay Studio, we figured if we were to spend so much for one night's sleep we better off staying close to Hollywood. And yes I took the Hollywood Blvd exit from North I-5. And it is Holly-shit. There is only about a 100-meter strip that does not look like a crime scene and the street is filled with drunk or black people screaming or flipping their car stereo with a volume good enough for half a mile. A black SUV filled with some rap-people were honking me and almost squeezed my small civic up to the sidewalk. I got angry and when another black dude ran a stop sign with his b*tch in a new Cadillac right in from of me, I stopped in his way nice and slow for 5 second and gave him a noise for another 5. I am a really nice guy, yo! I ain't no racist.

So I guess we are not coming back for Hollywood Blvd again, I am not a fan who come all the way to see some finger prints or ass prints on the side walk in front of a theater on a block which has no order. Any for the first time in my life I heard my wife saying that Hollywood actually sucks. She finally agrees on this!

3 am New Year's Day, still on the street! We decided to try one more time, at the Sheraton and Hilton at Universal Studio. Despite our painstaking resolution to pay a stupid amount of money for a sleep, there were all sold out, in a 8 mile radius. The closest vacancy is in LAX. Bye-bye.

So I suggested going to San Diego at 4 in the morning. And we did. It is a city, not like a swamp of maybe famous crap. And better part, since we checked in so early, we got two sleeps for the charge of one which means we do not check out until midday of tomorrow. And this is a real Hotel by the sea which happens to have everything and is "cheaper" than a shit motel in Los Angeles.

What Is Going On

In holiday time when people do not have a schedule, this is what happens:

Movies, TV, beef jerkey, wine, Cola, Vodka, orang juce, old schoolmates, potato chips, bacon, onions, sausage, Firefox, emails, etc.

My wife asked that we go to Fry's. And my wife asked if we should buy a Play Station 2.

I realized that I have NEVER seen a Play Station 2 or X-Box in my ENTIRE life. I could not identify them (or another brand starting with the letter "N") from the stuff on the shelfs at Fry's. I know nothing about computer games more than an idiot although I get paid wrting industral-strenght programs all day long.

I had one glass of Zinfandel after coming back from Fry's and The Phantom of Opera because I was thirsty. The glass turned out to be sort of a measure cup, it says "8 oz". And I am still thirsty.

My wife did not eat anything until 3pm (neither did I). Things like this usually happen when I am at home.

This is holiday.

It's holiday, time for some blogging

I've been so busy or lazy whatever I've posted only one sentense in more than one month.

However, something happened during that period of time. Such as:

• I visited my dentist because one of my previous filling has cracked. It set me back a few hundred bucks despite of my nice insurance coverage. However I came to realized that if there is someone operating an automatic weapon (be an electric drill for instance) in my mouth, that person better be paid well and better be NOT pissed off.
• The dentist numbed me up (the area around teeth on the left side), and I could not suck coffee for the entire morning.
  
• I planted some flowers in the backyard and water them in the morning before I leave for work. They seem to be happy. However the wild grass seem to be even happier and it is all over the place. I need to KILL it!
• I have a ring after being married for over two years. Anyway it is not a Chinese tradition. But considering the fact that I am in another country, I accept the local rules.
• I bought a new car but it won't be built until next February. Aftet that, it will be shipped to the US from another continent.
• I ran out of film and end up ordering a dozen from BH in THIS time of the year. I hope my parcel arrives before Feburary...... What happened to the way I buy stuff?!
• Two friends left America for HK because they got a job there. And me and my wife are here. what kind of spinning is taking place.
• The family finally emerged out of debt at the end of this year after some massive displacement and surprises.
• I got my first bonus and pay raise in my professional life. The federal goverment took a bit bite out of it so that I ended up seeing little difference if at all.
• My car has over 199,099 miles on it when it passed a thorough check-up two weeks ago. This is the car that still runs over 35 mpg in the city (you don't guess the number on freeway) and still shines like a spoon under the California sun.
  
• For the first time I am reading a book borrowed from the library. I like the way public libraries work here in California (cannot speak for other places for lack of experience), the service is absolutely free. It's hard to beat that.
  

So, a lot happeded in the past month even though nothing much appears on my blog page.

Oh my! Haven't posted for half a month!

Busy with work and car stuff.

When Did Early Birds Wake Up?

All we wished to get for this thanksgiving is a 10-dollar toaster. So, that should be no trouble.

How-To Turn your iPod in to a Universal Infrared Remote Control

Posted Jul 27, 2004, 11:00 AM ET by Phillip Torrone
Related entries: Features

Sometimes, you look around at all these gadgets and in a rare moment of inspiration or madness, you look at them all a little different— connected in a way they are currently not, but perhaps should be, or at least “could” be. There might not be anything “new” but there are countless combinations of disparate technologies, and we think this is a great example of combining a couple of those.



This week’s How-To is a fun one, we take an iPod and turn it in to a universal infrared remote control which can be used to control all your home electronic equipment, or just about anything that uses a remote control, for example in our place we have our iPod controlling our TV, DVD Player, Direct TV, Ultimate TV PVR, Media Center PC, Xbox, XM Satellite Radio, Roomba and a few other random things like a Robot.

Save Energy

At my latest gas stop, a new record-high gas MPG is set at 37.178 for my daily local commute. My personal best remains at 47.0 which I achieved in my Yosemite trip a few months ago consist mostly of highway. I never try to save gas by turning off stereo or air-conditioning. As a matter of fact, my car has an amp and subwoofer.

Hope the days of running at such high MPG with #87 goes longer as my vehicle approaches 200,000 miles on the odometer. As seen from the milage, this is apparently NOT a hybrid vehicle.

Eventually

We have our OWN internet connection today.

The faint signal from far far away has been feeding this entire family for over a month and has dropped below threshold for maybe a couple of hundred times. Now we have our OWN! Over 90% strength all over the house, and my laptop says bye-bye to the second-floor desk where it has served as antenna for my Airport base station.

The Comcast installation has NEVER been a smooth one. We had an experience once a year ago when some info is missing in Comcast central server about our account which caused us half a day to get connection. This time, it is EVEN worse, man. The installation guy simply mis-connected something outside our room and we spent like 8 hours trying without no valid IP. How retarted would it be to require a new user to register ONLINE before he gets internet connection? I guess maybe someone at Comcast already realized this as a problem but the entire system is so BEEPed up beyond repair.

A Little Surprise by the Bund

Shanghai 2004

Although later a friend from Shanghai told me that the store in these pictures has already been there for a few years, I was a bit surprised while standing at the entrance of Peace Hotel on a brisk summer night of Shanghai. Here we are talking about half a block from the Bund, where the city sheds her most glamorous lights and atmosphere, the equivalent would be the corner of Union Square, San Francisco - imagine a Chinese Hot Pot restaurant there... Confused? You got it.

NO BIG DEAL. But since I just downloaded a trail Photoshop CS, gotta do something before the expiration date. (The picture is REAL, nontheless, I am not that bad.)

Less for More?

Ever since I started working I am posting more pictures instead of words of any kind, which revealed that how {...} I was before October. Anyway, this is NOT a photoblog and I am not considering photo-blogging. Instead, I've been thinking about creating a private online archive for SOME of the pictures, however since it is called an archive it better have some volumne. The minimum starting point is maybe 200 or more of acceptable quality, which may take like eight years to accumilate... ... Bye ... ...

This Is What We Call A "Detour"

Oh YES, we ARE in the correct direction!

Tuesday night, after work, I drove from Santa Clara to Burlingame to pick up my uncle who is on a business tour and is staying at a hotel near 101. There was a storm that night in some places alone north 101 but that was not the part I am gonna talk about.

It is the way back to Mountain View: apparently we should take south 101 which is right there outside the hotel building, yet we ended up turning 720 (pronounced as "seven hundred and twenty") degrees before merging onto south 101. It was pretty bad, a '93 Civic plus four people plus a storm plus the mist outside plus the fog inside plus my 11 year old car battery plus my 165-75R13 tires. Yet we managed the 720-degree manuver at first attempt(Hallelujah......). Question: just who the BEEP designed this road?

国家图书馆借书记

暨南大学出版社副总编辑周继武也许做梦也不曾想到，自己到位于北京的中国国家图书馆借书，会有这样一段经历。《南方周末》把这个故事讲出来，恐怕又要得罪紫禁城里的什么人了。不过总而言之，这样的事情，大家都不陌生的。

100th Post - 第100篇

Yuyuan, Shanghai 上海豫园

终于摸黑扫完了过去半年的几张照片，三更半夜，还是先贴一张吧。关于上海的种种，已经懒得再写了，百闻终不如一见，虽然是黑白，将就一下。

犯规了

自己原来说过的，不能连续贴图……

今天一口气出来就是四张，其实硬盘里边还有很多。自从开始上班，居然连一个字都没写过，可见过去的几个月无聊到什么程度……补偿一下罢。

突然想起还有两卷胶片没扫描，一卷没冲……

Wife freaked out by her own stuff :)

Time for absolute celebration, a smaller one, though.
