A long long time ago, VCR helped some people a lot. It allowed people to record the TV shows first and then re-play them later on. Not long ago, PVR was aimed to replace VCR. There was a digital era. We should record TV shows in a hard dish rather than video cassette tapes. Nowadays, most of television stations put their TV shows in their website. So, I don't think PVR is essential at all. If you want to watch a TV show again, you can play it from their website. Is PVR is outdated as well?

I was tried to drop two buttons into TableLayoutPanel(Winforms). I can't do it. I thought TableLayoutPanel should works very similar with GridPanel in WPF. It should hold multiple controls. I thought that should be the problem my SharpDevelop. So, I tried to upgarde my SharpDevelop to the latest, version 3.2. It still doesn't. Thus, I believe TableLayoutPanel can hold only one control.

To solve this issue, the solution is very similar, just dropping a panel inside the cell of TableLayoutPanel. That works! Panel control can multiple controls.

Handcent SMS

I wish to introduce "Handcent SMS". That is a very nice SMS client. Firstly, it looks much better than the black and white Default SMS Client.

Moreover, it supports "Text to speech" and "Voice Recognization"(I can't test it because I have not installed recognizer"). In additional, there is a set of SMS template. Yeah! I love it a lot. It saves me a lot of time to type, becuase my sms messages are always something like, "where are you" and "I'm running late.", those kinds of simple stuff! Now, I just need to select from the template for the reply!

Google Chat Send a file

Google added a new feature in iGoogle and Orkut. That is the "Send a file" for Google Chat in the widget of iGoogle and Orkut.
I used this feature, that is quite good! I don't need to install any plug-ins. I just logined into iGoogle and click a contact in the "Chat" Section. Lastly, I clicked the menu option under "Actions". That is it! The file is sending now!
