Okay, it’s the time to update my blog, haven’t done so for ages (but who cares?). I’ve to say I was occupied by the Chinese New Year: the year of rooster has meant nothing to me because I am a monkey! Still, I had a lot of food within last week, 2 buffet dinners and 4 family meals with our grandparents, and yes, I’ve got 2 grandma and 2 grandpa only, but our culture requires us to have 2 meals with them at both the new year’s eve and at the start of new year. I was horrified by the amount of food I had, but it was a refreshing experience since I never been here around this time for 6 years.
A few things have caught my attention lately, first, my new computer. I’ve made up my mind on what to buy, my main concern though, is whether a PCI Express Video Card is compatible with Linux. My configuration: Athlon64 3000+, MSI Neo4 MB, 1GB RAM, Maxtor 200GB SATA, Nvidia 6200 Turbo Cache and a decent power supply unit. Maxtor perhaps isn’t as good as Seagate in terms of popularity, however, its transfer rate is the best in its class (7200RPM).
The second thing, the plan of rolling out IE7 before Longhorn from Microsoft, is interesting because they really make a fuss over their browser business. It’s still unknown of what kind of features will be incorporated into IE7, and I’ve already mentioned Firefox is a serious competitor, but never a threat to them like Linux because it cannot generate any income. Nevertheless, Firefox will be around as long as it’s still an interest to a group of people. The final news is about the demise of a stream ripper program which is written by Japanese: “GETASFSTREAM”. It’s a useful program for recording internet radios, streaming videos and etc. So sad the author has chosen to end the development of it, perhaps under the pressure from Microsoft?
Love my fishes? They aren’t real though, I’ve them in my tummy last week!
