killer sudoku

見同事玩Killer Sudoku,好似好過癮,食晏時大家一齊研究,玩個moderate級數,真係R爆頭都只係解到兩個數字。後來搵左個easy既,以為易d啦,結果都係solve唔到。翌日再玩,終於解到,前後計埋用左差唔多三個鐘去玩,真係人都癲。好彩Wiki有專用表,可以方便計數。

連續玩左兩日,開始上手,easy level 的最快半個鐘搞掂,moderate 都可以solve到了。

開始玩Greater-than Sudoku,不過似乎易好多。基本上只係做elimination就solve到。



開始覺得Sudoku唔係咁好玩了,有點膩。有咩會更好玩呢?

grad photo taking day

今日有位好朋友影畢業相,邀請我去做她的私人「機佬」,哈,好耐無試過幫人影咁多相,好多女仔見到我都好開心,都有男仔既,無他,因為有人幫佢地揸機影合照,最高峰時一次過拿著四部數碼相機。都咪話唔驚,相機有大有細、有厚有薄、有重有輕,若然一個唔覺意就。。。。

見到佢地影得咁開心,我都覺得好開心,即使曬得慶烚烚,大汗疊細汗,都無所謂。

希望我呢位好朋友可以順利畢業。只要盡左力,做好自己,其他的甭管,交給祂啦。
p.s. 希望我影d相合格啦,無手震或對錯焦啦。

好朋友又係老朋友,回程時佢唔係問我「有冇返團契」,而係問「返得隱唔隱定」,真係一針見血。被她這樣一說,就覺得今晚無論如何都該返團契,而且這幾日工作沒那麼忙,逃不了的。

當電池走到盡頭時

俗語有云『當黑夜走到盡頭時,黎明的曙光就會來臨』,可是,我部Asus A600...『當電池走到盡頭時,恐怖的hard reset就會來臨』。



放著機子幾日不理,機就起動不了,當我一駁上sych-charge cable,那清脆利落的歡迎聲音和畫面隨之而來,我就知道,我就是知道,一切都…一切都…完了。

True VGA mode on WM5

網上有人教改registry使PPC行True VGA Mode的方法,無聊試下,但因為未能更改一堆DLL檔名而暫時放棄。不過又真係好過癮,睇下個Program Menu ,一個字,爽。

XP shut down dialog, force update

Today when I start up the laptop, there is an update from Microsoft - "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - March 2006 (KB890830)". Since I'm testing the system with the patch from yesterday, I ignored the update. When I pressed shut down, the dialog was "rewritten". Microsoft force users to install their updates, again.

Limit of hiberation, 1GB max!?

Last weekend I bought a 1GB DDR ram to upgrade my IBM T42 laptop. Since the laptop has two slots, which were filled by two 512MB ram, I only get 512MB extra after the upgrade. This extra 512MB cost me more than it should be.

After the upgrade, my laptop no longer able to hiberate. When I press Fn+F12 and it prepares hiberation, then it fails and returns "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API" (technical details from Microsoft). Regarding this issue, many people went to Bryce Yehl's blog. Its thread is so long, and has full explaination, which other site cannot compare with. However, the patch is not available publicly until you call Microsoft. Luckily, I found the patch from an unofficial website.

Just installed and it works. Hopefully my laptop will run smooth from now on.

人誰無賴

「上得sign多會賴野」,更何況一次過上三次sign,唉,衰左一個,今云賴撻。

收工前將個application downgrade去到DP2 FP3,裝o係我部N70,一開先發覺好lag好大鑊,唉,皆因平日好少會用30首歌去試個application。

聽日仲要改,個客發晒火,上頭起晒台,好快,我就會去左祭旗。

Acer n300, 1.00.08 & 1.00.15

After the upgrading the ROM to 1.00.15, I found that my Acer n300 no longer showing text in ClearType. In fact, the text looks uglier than before.

In version 1.00.08, ClearType is enable. So that the screen looks better to customers in store. In version 1.00.15, ClearType is disable. It can then claims the performance has boost up after upgrade.

Besides me, there is another guy who found out that the ClearType was disabled on new OS. Some one has the solution to re-enable ClearType. This one is cool~~




Enable ClearType:
Method 1. Search "NoClearType" in registry and set its value to "0". ClearType options is available under Settings > System > Screen.

業同孽乎

尋日拔完牙之後痛到唔想出街,於是匿o係屋企煲碟。睇《大隻佬》見到字幕裡個所有的「」字都寫成「」─『萬般帶不走,唯有業隨身』,借問一下,係家業定事業?唔通係學業?將來應該有人會寫「罪業深重」,即係話,佢做果行係「罪」,仲做得好鬼死有成就呢。

有d人真係唔識分「造」和「做」,在最近亞視播的《楚漢風流》裡,呂雉講一句「這都是你一手做成」,唔,對方用「一隻手」「做好/完了一件事」麼?哈哈,有趣。乜唔係「一手成」咩?

睇見個字幕,勁過恐怖片:好嚇人。

嘩~果天仲光架

尋晚搭地鐵臨出閘時跌左n300支筆,筆咀即斷,呆~

今朝搭地鐵時想話開部n300,按power無反應,拔電、reset、hard reset都無效,索性拆左舊電,心情極差~

返到公司仲要趕deadline,d人又永遠唔用腦,睇見de-mail 就把幾火,心情壞透~

終於搞掂一個project,擲上左「山」,三點先買外賣食晏。雖然第二件應該好快搞掂,只係換下圖、set過d數值,但係d圖又唔係好掂,一路食一路執,無乜心機。

終於搞掂晒d野,和同事吹水話部pda瓜左柴,順手拿出來又試下,放回電池,哈,又好似正常返喎。決定flash個新rom,照網上高手教路,flash左兩濟,第一次唔曉自動reboot,第二次曉。我懷疑太舊既os係唔曉自動reboot,我做software,又成日用d新手機,呢d內置rom既野,唔多唔少估到係乜事。

五點幾搞掂晒ddeadline,部機又番生,心情靚爆,誓言六點準時走人,同房同事都話會早走,結果,歷史性地三個symbian team member一齊準時六點零分十零秒閃,落到街,果天仲光架!

在一個work day裡,放工既時候個天仲光未黑,真係無乜幾可,好似,有成年幾未見過咯~

三個男人一路行一路大笑大叫,就只因為:六點閃。爽爆~
