6月27日 Email Client Changed From Live Email Back to Outlook ExpressCall me an old-timer, but I have finally changed my email client from Live Email back to the good old Outlook Express (OE).
I was almost forced into Live Email because of Microsoft's announcement earlier this year that they are discontinuing OE support of DAV protocol to access Hotmail. While I generally use web or mobile device to access my hotmail, I still have a POP3 account (from my ISP) and my gmail to take care of and I like to have one power client to be able to access all 3 emails.
Live Email turned out to be a bit disappointing, for the following reasons based my experience:
While there are some nice features in Live Mail, such as integration with Live Space and Anti-spam, with Microsoft extending the deadline for OE to support Hotmail, I am happy to be back to OE now. 6月24日 八月桂花香将要入梦,几番起伏终不平. 到如今都成烟雨 今夜成空,宛若回首袖底风 幽幽一缕香飘在深深旧梦中 繁华若景一生憔悴在风里 回头是无晴也无雨 明月小楼孤独无人诉情衷 人间有我残梦会醒 漫漫长路起伏不能由我 人海漂泊尝尽人情淡薄 热情热心换冷淡冷漠 任多少深情都像寂寞 人随风波只在花开花又落 不管世间沧桑如何 你已乘风去满腹相思都沉默 只有桂花香暗飘过 6月22日 录美剧字幕Closed Captioning经常从网上下载东西，作为回报，我义务录一些美剧的字幕上载。
录字幕的基本步骤：
不幸的是，上面每一步都坐得在电脑前手工操作。最近有点忙，错过了几次录的时间，挺不好意思的。
今天花了大概一个小时，写了个小程序，将以上所有步骤都编程自动化了，测试也成功了（thank you Amber for verification)
Life is now much easier and I am now more productive. 6月16日 当了一会锁匠Locksmith昨天下午出门回来，到家时发现前门居然是半开着，吓了一跳。赶紧检查所有房间，还好没有发现失窃。估计是走前门没有关紧，又忘了锁（走车库的），被风吹开了。
自然我又是被数落了半天，不是第一次忘了锁门，太粗心大意了blah blah，可我记得即使是忘了从里面忘了锁但还是关了门的啊，无比郁闷。
仔细想了想，从搬进来后还没有换过锁，是不是...? 自己也太拖拉了点，上次买了Rekey的工具，一直没时间弄，这回没借口了。
你会说，换锁还不简单？去店里买把新的换上不就是了。可是，我家有三个门，前门，书房边门和车库边门，现在是一条钥匙同时开三把锁，如果我把三把锁全换了，那我还得同时带着三把不同的钥匙，每次还得区分那把是那把，麻烦。Rekey 是个简单的方法，就是把锁芯和钥匙给换了但还是用原锁和一把钥匙。上次在HomeDepot听锁匠讲了，也Google了，似乎挺简单，就买了Rekey Toolkit，才几块钱。
先从车库边门开始，先练练手，心说要不行了边门锁不上不明显。Toolset的说明好算清楚，但是倒出锁芯时把锁内的弹簧也倒出来了，花了点力气才把弹簧装好，最后把换完芯的锁装了回去，行了，整个程序也明白了，挺高兴。
接下来是书房边门，弹簧没有出来，但是有一根给拉散了，还好有其它工具，设法把弹簧拧成原状，最后还是换好装上了。
信心更足了，对付最后的前门。以为一切轻车熟路，结果没那么简单，锁芯不完全匹配，傻眼了。但是，这毕竟也难不倒我们工程师吗，琢磨了半天（此处省去细节100字），还是将其搞定了。
完工后，我开玩笑说，成了半个锁匠了，以后应急时知道怎么开别人的锁了。
不过，最重要的是，Peace of Mind，从此不用再担心是不是有人拿以前的钥匙来开我家门了。 6月9日 Microblog with TwitterAccording to Wikipedia:
Micro-blogging is a form of blogging that allows users to write brief text updates (usually less than 200 characters) and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user. These messages can be submitted by a variety of means, including text messaging, instant messaging, email, MP3 or the web.
The most popular service is called Twitter, which was launched in July 2006 and won the Web Award in the blog category at the 2007 South by Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas.[1] The main competitor to Twitter is Jaiku. I added Twitter badge to my space so I can get my latest update. I update Twitter mostly with my phone.
