Since my laptop (Toshiba Satellite M200) cannot adjust the brightness using fn-key. Therefore, I set the brightness using Intel display driver graphics properties. Adjust the colour at the “color correction”.

However, when I play some games, and when the games are set to full screen, the LCD colour will be reset to the default colour. This is the problem. That means I need to right-click at the desktop to choose “Graphics Properties…” to adjust the brightness each time I play the game.

Windows XP is very good, because if you install with the East Asian Language, then you are able to type chinese with built-in IME (Input Method Editor).

And recently, introduced by my brother, Sogou Pinyin Input 搜狗拼音輸入法. Then I found that, there are other IMEs which are much better than XP built-in IME. And I also tried Goolge Pinyin Input 谷歌拼音輸入法, which is also very famous as Sogou Pinyin Input. If you like, you can try some other IMEs from here (very good, all are freeware).

Introduction

To learn about programming, C++ is a very popular programming. However, besides the language itself, there are many things need to know.

Compiled language

C++ is a compiled language. Therefore, it is not platform independent like interpreted language such as PHP, Perl, Python and else. Because it is a compiled language, that means the developer should target the platform of the C++ program, Microsoft Windows or other? Because I am using Windows, so I will only focus on Win32.

[This is also an article from the previous blog.]

After a while dealing with Linux. I have learnt many things.

There are too many distributions of Linux. It is hard to choose. I have tried LiveCD. It is nice to use LiveCD. Because, if you got the pendrive or external harddisk and the computer BIOS is able to detect USB, then you are able to boot in the pendrive or external harddisk LiveCD through BIOS. However, the pre-requisite of the pendrive or external harddisk is that, the file system need to be FAT. This is because a program syslinux is only able to modify the boot sector in FAT, ext2/3, but not NTFS.

I don’t like Windows Vista, now. I don’t mean that I will remain dislike Vista in future. Why? I only tried a while. I feel that its greatest change is the interface change. And found that, it cannot run several applications which I can run in Windows XP.

So, I go to search about comparison of Vista and XP. Click here to see.

But it does not relate to this article much.

Recently, I just found that, don’t know why, Orbit Downloader cannot resume the downloaded file. Therefore, I need to search for alternative download manager.

I need several downloaders. This is because, for the downloader, the files need to be queued in the download manager. This is not convenient for me to download a sequence of images, while need to download other stuffs.

So, again, Free Download Manager, which is very useful for batch downloading. Besides that, you can adjust the protocol, such as change the user agent to IE5, Netcape, Opera and else. Changing user agent will let the server identify it as the web browser browsing the page. Furthermore, you can also specify the referrer, because some website will detect the referrer so that there is no hotlink (steal the link). It is the most flexible download manager, and it is also portable.

These days, I try to play online game. The reason I play online game is because I like game hacking (memory editing to edit the game data). But I tried this before for online game, it is different from the offline game. Ordinary memory editing cannot modify the game data. And I searched for some information for online game cheating.

After I got the tools to edit online game, I need to download a free online game first. Suggested from my friend, MU Online is popular. However, after I installed, it has the cheat protection. Therefore, I continued to search for other online game. I played chinese online game before, so I searched for the free online chinese game again.

There are 2 comics (or manga) that I would like to introduce. They are too funny, that I read and laugh non-stop.

The following order is my ranking from top to down:

1. High School Girls 女子高生 - Very funny. I think it is shojo manga (girl’s comic). I think it is more suitable for adults. The story talks about high school girls, who study in girls’ high, and how desperate they are. And, if you are a male, you will found that, those girls are really unexpectable when there is no male…
2. Yakitate! Japan 日式麵包王 - This manga is already completed. I like the main character. A combination of idiot and genius. The supporting character is really funny. The theory inside the story is very logic, but the story is too illogic, especially almost at the end of the comic. The story talks about “roti” (bread).

You can click and read online. It is chinese translation.
