枸杞, Gyuji, Goji Berry
As a Sibuian (people from Sibu), I take chicken soup since very small. And, my mum always put the “gyuji” (Foochow) in the soup. And just read an article about goji berry, found that, goji berry provids many benefit. Ooooh!!! I just found that goji berry is 枸杞 (“gyuji”).
Memory Editor
I don’t know whether you know about Memory Editor (or some people call it Memory Scanner) or not. It is an application that usually used when playing PC games.
Using Memory Editor, you can modify your character HP (Hit Point), money, and else. And if you are very good in memory editing, you might also review the secret items, secret characters.
I like to use Memory Editor. Because, I don’t like to waste too much time to level up my character. I feel that doing this is wasting my life. However, I like story of the games, that is why I modify a bit which will not destroy the fun of the game play, such as modify the experience of the characters.
Sabbath and Sunday
I don’t know every body know this or not. Just one to share, because I taugth catechism before, and taught the children about this.
Sabbath is acutally Saturday. If follow the Jewish custom, it is from Friday sunset until Saturday sunset. Because, for Jewish, a day start from sunset. That is why we celebrate sunset mass on Saturday and it fulfils the Sunday obligation. And, Sabbath is the day of rest.
An imagination: Mind without brain
This is just my imagination: the mind without brain.
Some people may think that there is no soul. And the mind is the brain. So when a man died, then his mind will disappear, just like sleep without dream. Therefore, they can do whatever they like, because after they died, there is no more pleasure.
Some people, may believe the existence of soul. But if the mind is not part of the soul, they can still do whatever they like, because after they died, there is no more pleasure, feeling and else.
Reading comic (or manga)
I like to read comics (or manga), especially japanese comics chinese translation, such as One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, Ah! My Goddess, and other else.
What software are you using to read those comics? I suggest this one: ComicsViewer. I think it is the best one to read comics. However, one might feel hard to control the program, like the first time I used the program.
To read turn the page from page, you can just use both "" keys. If you like, you can just customise the keys.
Video software
Reply to hobbestheteddybearkiller:
What functions you need? Play video, edit video, convert video?
To play the video, the best one I like is K-Lite Mega Codec. It can play rmvb, dvd, vcd, mkv, ogm, flv, and other common media files. Also play the audio files. I think, it is the best of the best. However, if you are using it to play QuickTime .mov file, there may got some problems. Because I tried using to play the .mov file which is recorded by the digicam, it had no sound.
Nirsoft
Have you ever visited http://www.nirsoft.net/ ?
There are many powerful tools in it. I will list down several of my favourite utilities from NirSoft:
RegScanner - Search the registry key, provide very good interface. You can this instead of the “Regedit.exe” built-in search.
VideoCacheView - This one is really powerful, which is recently added. If you are watching online video, the .flv file, then after finish watching, the video is downloaded in your cache. And using this utility, you can save the cached video to your folder. I haven’t try it with youtube, but I tried it in other websites using IE, and it works.
CurrProcess - I use this in order to replace Windows task manager before. But, finally, I stick back to task manager. However, this utility really provides a lot of information of the current process. Really nice.
ServiWin - This utility will display the installed drivers and services, and you can disable them using this utility.
Reincarnation
Recently read the news about Dalai Lama, then I searched something about reincarnation.
As a Catholic, I do not believe about “reincarnation”. However, we might hear people claim that they have the past memories from the previous life. Is this really heapen? If you are a Catholic, how do you explain this? The memories may be fake, but how if it is really correct?
So, this is only my own opinion. We know that, the material world is worked in cycle. A man died, then the body decomposed, and become part of the soil. Then the plants get the nutrients from the soil, and plants are eaten by herbivores. And the herbivores become part of the food chain. Human beings eat the food, and the nutrients become part of the human body. Then, human beings give birth for the new lives. In my opinion, this is the reincarnation of the body.
Portable software
Because of the popularity of pendrive (or thumb drive, or handy drive), there are a lot of “portable software”. I also like portable software. Because, it makes my computer clean without installation and without affecting the windows registry.
When we install a program to our computer, most of the time the windows registry will be added some data. However, when we unstiall the program, the data remain in the registry.
Prayer: Our Father who art in Heaven
As a Catholic, I heard the prayer “Our Father” frequently. However, there are many variations of the prayer Our Father. The most common one is the modern translation, “Our Father in Heaven, holy be Your name…”
Don’t know why, different area different style. I heard a weird version of “Our Father”, that is: “Our Father who art in Heaven, holy be Your name…”
Why I say it is weird? Have you read the words like: Thee, Thy, Thou, Thine and else? These are the archaic English, which means “You”.
thee = you
thou = you
thy = your
thine = yours
(Hope that I do not make it wrong…)
