Last week, I installed a broadband to my friend's home. I introduce some web sites of Hong Kong TV Stations. They can watch Hong Kong News from internet. Well, I made his computer to TV. I paid Hong Kong cable TV services. I started to use my computer as TV.

I have completed a number of course in threading. I did those courses in Java. Yesterday, I have started to do my readings on threading again. This is because I forgot most things in threading and .Net is quite different from Java as well.

Thread is very simple. Only need to put the method name and use "Start" method.
Thread thread= new Thread(new ThreadStart(class1.Test2));

thread.Start();

I have started to write a CSV reader. The 1st stage is very successful. This reader will use Java NIO. Thus, the preformance should be very good

Are you addicted to internet? What is your first thing at home? Internet? I will answer , "Internet". I browsered around 100 pages per day. The friends around myself online a lot. Online game, chatting and surf on net. I rememeber a friend told me his home cut off from internet for a week. After 3 years ago, he started to use internet. He even has not online for a week.

I think that is the reason Microsoft planned to launch her advertisememt program and Yahoo's publisher program is Beta stage.

An ideal just hit my head. I am thinking to use a Code Generator to do the jobs of CMS(Content Management System). Normally, CMS need a database and a kind of web scritping (e.g. PHP, CGI and ASP). For some web sites are not changing so frequently, why don't we only use a Code Genrator to generate webpages from a set of XML files?

My ideal is to use a Code generator to generate HTML files from XML files and HTML templates. then the user will FTP HTML files to the server.Moreover, the generator can have some tracking changes functions. The generator will only upload the changed files.

In this way, the user can use some free hosting or lower prices hosting.

Do you agree with me?

As a IT person, have you though about the grift for your Mother? There are my suggestions:

1. Open a online banking accounts for her. - It can save her banking fee
2. A 3G Mobile - video calls , let her to see you, even we are working in office late and can't go home for dinner.
3. Introduction book of computers - Converting her into a IT person too
4. Install VOIP phone at home - let her make calls in a lower rate. If you are same as me, working oversea, this is extremely good idea.
5. Write a web calendar for your family. Then the mother know who won't dinner at home tonight.

But the best grift, is we are getting out of our computers and dinner with her on this Sunday.

I watched the interview from dev source.
I think this is worth to watched. Personally, I wish to more learn about AJAX.

The Father of AJAX Gives Paternal Advice

I remembered around ten year ago. I hear about a news that the researchers predicted there is a computer who has same power as our brain. Ten years has gone, so far, I have not seen a computer like that.

PHP 5.1.4 has lanched.

Visit PHP.Net

I found a good AJAX Source from
Mozilla

Today, I read AJAX. AJAX is so good. This makes the page is more interactive. Moreover, it can enhance the performance of web apps.

Do you still have CRT Monitor? I looked around my friends are giving up their CRT Monitors, and buy a new LCD Monitor. But some gaming friends are still fans CRT. They believe CRT is good for playing games

I saw a lot of young people got their fancy mobile phone. My one is very simple one. It can't take photo and play MP3. But It only cost around $100. That's much cheaper. Moreover, I won't be happy about the features of those kinds of fancy mobile phone. If I want a MP3 player, I will buy a MP3 player. I need to take photo I will buy a camera. Mobile phone is mobile phone. I need it to make calls.
