Actually, I personally prefer traditional chinese. Because the character is more complicate, and look prettier than simplified chinese. And besides that, the traditional chinese character provides better meaning in the presentation of the character itself. Especially the character “love”, 愛，in traditional chinese, the centre of it is 心，that means we love with our heart. However, the simplified chinese is 爱, which doesn’t have the 心 at the centre.

Another important reason is the surname. When I was young, I was taught to write the surname in simplified chinese, that is 钟. The traditioanl chinese of 钟 is both 鍾 and 鐘. While both meanings are different. Therefore, in computer, the simplified chinese of 鍾 becomes 锺, instead of 钟. So, that is why I prefer traditional chinese, because of the surname problem.

Fortunately, I still can download a lot of software that support Windows XP. Otherwise, I need to switch to Windows Vista. Vista or XP, which one is better?

Seven out of ten of the games tested produced frame rate averages which were lower under Vista than XP SP2, however, a closer look at the numbers shows that when Vista is slower than XP SP2, the actual frame rate differences are only in the single digits. Read more.

If you are editing image, what software you use? MS Paint? Adobe Photoshop? For me, MS Paint is fast, and only fast. Nothing special. Photoshop, is not free. If you want to install, it requires a lot of space.

So, I use 2 image editors, Paint.NET and GIMP Portable. Both of them support layer editing. Very nice. Actually, I prefer using Paint.NET. Because it is more usable (easier to be used) compare to GIMP. The interface is easy to understand. However, it does not as powerful as GIMP.

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.

There are many translations of English bible. There are RSV (Revised Standard Version), NAB (New American Bible), New Jerusalem Bible, Jerusalem Bible, Christian Community Bible, and etc. Even Chinese bible got several translations.

I prefer 思高譯本 (Studium Biblicum) for the Chinese translation. The translation is used in the readings of the Chinese mass. But, these years, I heard another translation. I don’t know what is the name of the translation. Inside the translation, the name of James is translated as 雅格 instead of 雅各伯， Peter as 伯鐸 instead of 伯多祿。But this translation I only heard in daily mass, not Sunday mass.

Human being is consists of cells. Each type of cells can be differentiated by its functions. Each cell cannot think like a human think. However, human can think because of the systematic organisation of the cells. Human can live because each of the cells plays its own role. If a cell does not function or malfunction, it will become a cancer. And human needs to destroy the cancer so that the cancer will not spread to other cells and he can live.

Because last time, the internet connection was too poor. So I wanted to look for alternative ISP. Then, I asked and asked. And always asked about the speed. Then, they always gave me the speed with unit “bps” (bit per second). What is this?

Most of the time, when we download, we will see the download speed, that is using kb/s (kilobyte per second). So, I search through internet, how to convert bps to kb/s.

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).

I like to read the news using feed. That is why I use Sage and FeedReader. Sage is the addon of Firefox. I prefer FeedReader. Because it can be installed as a portable version. Then I can subscribe RSS to the FeedReader.

Sin Chew Daily is one of my favourite, because it is chinese newspaper of Malaysia. And just found that, it provides RSS. Previously, it does not, so I need to browse the website. Now, it is easy to read the news through FeedReader.

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

Wireless network adapter driver (54mb).
