I have installed Sun Virtual Box in My Windows Vista Box(Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz and 2GB).That is not bad at all. I have VMWave Workstation before. At the hosted OS, VMWave Workstation seem to be used less resouces. If I opened a vm, my hosted OS are running smoothly. But if I run a vm in Virtual Box, my Host OS is very very slow. But Virtual Box is free and VMWare Workstation is a commerical application.

I am helping my uncle to improve his computers. He told Deleted items in Mapped Network Drive will not go to Recycle bin. If he deleted an item in a mapped network drive, he will not able to recover that in his Recycle bin. Today, this is the frist times, I realized that is a problem. I believe network drive is not for the user to do the daily operations, that is for backup and sharing the documents. You should not move those files around, so that is rare to delete the file.

I have listened an online radio show today. In the show, they mentioned "Programmer does not only write code. We do design as well!" I totally agree with them.
Even I write the application for myself, I will write a Requirement Specification. It will included a paragraph about the background of application(What is the application does, Why do I write this application), system specification(Hardware&Software) and User cases.
Programmer=> Application + Design + Documentations + Testing!

I am learning the application programming on Android OS. I found that is easier to catch up because I am a WPF Programmer. Both of them are using xml to draw UI. That is not a strange thing for myself.

I installed the WordPress Mobile Plug-in, http://wordpressmobile.mobi/. That is very easy to use. I upload the file into the plug-in directory. And it will be auto detect your browser version. If that is a mobile version, then it will display the simplified version. But you need to customize the advertisements, $backlink and $admobbottom.

I am using Google Analytics. Previously, I was using AWstat. Google Analystic is also live. Most of cases, the webhost will update AWstat daily. Moreover, Google Analystic is full of using Ajax. So, it got a better interface.
