The Race - An Inspirational Story of Struggling Against Failure

This's inspiring! Thinking of what's "success"? Becoming rich, in the very early stage of life? Is it one's luck? How about if you're not the luckiest one? How about keeping the success after one's death? How about the spirit of fighting against the adversity? This shows how the late bloomers are.

Farewell, Mr. Tan Hooi Song!

As a famous musician, he's also one of the creators of the well-known Chinese art performance - 24 Festival Drums, which let us be proud of.





His life is "like the wind and the sun".

Oh, I'm so touched by the documentary film that I feel I'm fully charged to work my day out!


Farewell Mr. Tan, and long live 24 Festival Drums!

Microsoft Popfly

To create a webpage without writing any code is nothing since there're so many choices of WYSIWYG webpage editing software.

But ever imagined creating a game without writing any code?

I saw my housemate Aaron head spinning for writing and debugging codes, and I think I won't be the same, until I found Microsoft Popfly, which is released a while ago.





You can create mashup(kinda mix of infomation pieces), webpages and even games, and can even integrate them into your blog.


Try it!

As I haven't. ;-p


UPDATE

Google has its own now with Google Mushup with AJAX.

Minefield - x64 Firefox 3

Right after my successful drivers installation for x64 system, I looked for the 64-bit web browser, and the 1st came into my list is x64 version of Firefox - Minefield, which just still in its very alpha stage.

Mozilla x64

Before you can use Minefield in 64-bit OS, you have to manually install Microsoft Visual C + + 2005 SP1 Redistributable (x64)

Installing MSVC2008 doesn't work.




Immediately after several browsing sessions I find it cannot show flash at all.

The reason is the Adobe staff not being able to port the 32bit flash support to the 64bit web browsers:
Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems

Here's one of the webpages where people blamming on Adobe:

Even the NCBI website is not accepting Minefield:

Checking for the latest version of Minefield is not helpful:

Last but not the least, the Google Pinyin Chinese input compatibility issue.

It's still hot:

UPDATE:

Google is providing x64 Pinyin now:

Recently I found a newly release 3.1 alpha version of Minefield, which is even worse for not supporting 2 of my favourite add-ons: Download Statusbar & Downloadhelper.

Eventually, I decided to dump Minefield as the incompatible issue with flash makes it useless at all particularly when browsing Youtube.
