Prayer Clock and JPrayer Clock 0.1.2 are released. Anyone who likes, you can download. And the source code is also available. Feel free to edit.

The Novena to the Holy Spirit is started on Friday, 6th Week of Easter. We can start the prayers by today.

However, in my Prayer Clock, I have mis-calculated the day. Please, if you are interested, download the prayers.xml from my site.

Written by using C and C++, depends on GTK+ and Expat. I spent about 3 days to study GTK+ and Expat since never used them before. I wrote this application because sometimes, I want to say a prayer, especially Angelus. But I need the prayer to read and also a reminder. So, I decided to wrote this program, at the same time I can also learn about GTK+ and Expat. And I decided to open source it as a contribution to Catholics.

A nice song, by 宇恒，幸雁，戴丽金 and William. I searched this song, but very hard to search. And finally found it, but in .flv format.

最美好时光 - 宇恒+幸雁+戴丽金+William

If you like it, you can download. Do you know the trick to download?

And if you want to convert to mp3, you can use FormatFactory. And just convert the .flv file to mp3, it is okay.

I have written a commandline using python, which can download the comic in “tieba.baidu.com”.

Because I can find the updated comic in “tieba”. But I prefer to use my own comic viewer to read the comic images. However, the image files in “tieba” are not named in sequence. So, if I want to save the images, I need to download the image 1 by 1 and rename them 1 by 1 in sequence. That is a repetitive and boring task.

When I wanted to find a free offline browser (or website copier, website grabber, website ripper), what I found is HTTrack. They said it is the best offline browser. I tried to use it many times, and found that very useless. But finally, I found it really useful, as they said, it is the best offline browser.

Why I said it was poor before?
Actually, the problem was, the website I wanted to grab was a very large site, with a lot of links. HTTrack always parses the links then download. Since there are too many links (about 18,000 files), the parsing used a lot of time. HTTrack unlike Teleport Pro, will not download the webpages immediately, so you cannot view the webpages immediately during parsing. That is why, I thought HTTrack didn’t download anything.

These days, I learnt and wrote a Python script.

There are a lot of addons (extension) that are not compatible with Firefox 3, and this includes Mozilla Archive Format. Because of this, I need to use UnMHT. However, as what I had said, UnMHT will encode all the text into base64 encoding.

When I search MSDN library, and I always save the webpage in printer friendly version. And the printer friendly version will always pop up a printing dialog. This is because of the javascript function, “window.print()”. Therefore, I always delete the javascript manually after downloading the webpage.

Since the internet connection is smooth, I just upload the driver..

Wireless network adapter driver (54mb).

I am now back to hometown to celebrate Chinese New Year. And my home has very poor internet connection. Therefore, I upload some of the Toshiba Satellite M200 drivers for XP in cyber cafe now.

Modem driver
SM Bus
Touchpad driver
FlashMedia driver
LAN driver

I do not upload BlueTooth driver, because I don’t use it. So, I also don’t know which BlueTooth driver is suitable for Toshiba Satellite M200.

I haven’t upload Wireless LAN driver. Because the file is 50.9Mb. I still haven’t decided to upload it. Because it is too big. This is what I can do now.

Again Toshiba driver.

Since the sound driver I suggested in my previous post does not work, so lastly I need to upload the driver of my laptop.

But the driver I uploaded does not content setup file. Therefore, one needs to right-click “oem1.inf” and select “install”.

I exported the driver using DriverMax (freeware). I didn’t upload the original setup folder, because it is about 83 mb. So, after exported and compressed the file, it is about 9 mb.
