Sometimes you don't enjoy things as much as you should. Yet somehow you still try.

We met this dog in the Philippines. Its hind legs were both crippled.

 

The Exit

Clipped highlights may hinder your ability to see. Sensor scaling is everything. A lot of our perceptions or understandings are only relative to the other objects in the scene. This is not to say that everything in life is relative. Rather, our perceptions are. There are trees outside the window. Yet you cannot see them.

 

So shiny!

Fujitsu is one of the most experienced Tablet PC makers in the industry. And I don't just say that. They've been making Tablet PC's since the Windows 98 days. I believe that's even before Microsoft coined the Tablet PC moniker.

I don't know how they are nowadays, but back when I bought my Tablet PC from them nearly five years ago, they had been renowned for the value-added stuff they bundle with their tablets. For example, a stylus lanyard, micro-fiber cleaning cloth and two screen protectors.

Of course, I installed one of the screen protectors from day one of owning the machine. And it has served me very well. But over the many years of use, one of the corners of the screen protector was starting to peel off. This term, it was quite noticeable, so I decided that I should break out the second screen protector to replace the old one.

And I finally got around to doing that today. So after four and a half years of using the same screen protector, I peeled the old one off, and stuck on a new one.

And wow my screen is so clean and shiny now! Actually, I was also very pleased to see just how pristine the actual screen underneath the screen protector is. It looks like a brand-new laptop screen.

So here's to another four or five years worth of writing on this new screen protector. My old one has clear wear marks in the areas where I would typically take notes for class. A series of parallel scratched-up areas :p

But wow, if I could only replace the noisy fan in this machine now, it would be almost as if I just got it! So shiny :D

全球定位系统

从前我很喜欢Sony Ericsson的手机因为我觉得SE的手机真好看。 可是用SE P990i之后,我对SE的看法改变了。 我发现SE的软体不太好(那是说他们的UIQ软体太buggy)。 但是我了解Nokia的customer commitment比Sony Ericsson好。 虽然我觉得Nokia的手机没有SE的style,Nokia的手机比较有用。

比如说Nokia的最新Ovi Maps。 这是Nokia的全球定位系统软体。 这个软体不要钱! 那是说要是用全球定位系统用的话,什么都是免费!

我最近发现Ovi Maps有国语的声音。 开车的时候,真好玩听国语的声音告诉我该去哪里。 :p

我的手机好聪明啊,能告诉我: “两公里请想右旋,然后你就到了达目的地。”

我在开玩笑,可是我还是觉得这个Ovi Maps很有用。 还有是免费的! 别的全球定位系统很贵! Garmin、TomTom、等等,都要200到300元!

Of integrity and honour
