Wooo... Signing into Live Spaces and only found that I've been missing for quite some time (about a month? 
) So what have I been up to? Most of the time the geek inside me is doing a programming project (unfortunately, it's not my master project, or even a project that can be sold, more on that later) Never thought that I'll be hooked up to it for so long.
Anyway, one day John manage to drag me out from my programming missery, to go for a big sale event on computer parts. Nice, who wouldn't like to have a Bluetooth connector or a 1GB thumbdrive for 1 bucks? Yet, it wasn't so easy to get into the mall. The Digital Mall was so crowded that it was almost impossible to get in. And yeah, both me and John hate the staffs arrangement that only selected people can get into the mall, while the rest will have to wait outside (aa... WHAT?) To get an idea of the crowd, check out these two photos... an hour before and an hour later...
An hour before...
An hour later...
Hook myself recently on Linux. John manage to grab a Linux cd for me from his company. Nice... been wanting to port to Linux for sometime now. It was years since I touch Linux (back when Linux is still a baby, and I have to write my own driver to get it to work) Installation process is simple and smooth, only need some customization and driver fetching, and there we go, my testing Linux platform. KDE and Gnome sure looks so much better than they used to be, and I got whole tonne of new stuff to learn. Think I'll be missing for another month...
My catalog program that was built for my own use is more or less completed. Ability to make my own catalog field, adding disc's info seems to be working nicely, however due to SQLite that tends to lock up the whole database whenever writing table etc. Maybe I'll try to rewrite the writing process to make sure things go much smoothly (and hopefully I can speed things up for large records) Anyway, that'll will have to postpone till I'm free next time...
