I live with Firefox a lot! It is very stable and loads pages very quickly. However, after I upgrade Jave Run Time (JRE) to the latest version, I found myself hang when using Firefox to browse web pages containing Java applets! I was wondering whether this is a "bug" of Firefox itself.

After some survey on Google, I found in here to just turn on "show Java Console" option, from Windows Control Panel, and it fixes for me!

After this fix, Firefox is still my favorite browser in the world! No more unexpected hang when surfing!

Clever Owner, Poor Dog

The owner of the dog seemed to go away for ice cream, in that hot afternoon on the beach. It must feel like being baked! Poor dog!

If you are a pet lover, please be sure to treat your pet like human.

I really wanted to help, but I am afraid myself to be thought as stealing the dog! Luckily, minutes after I shot this film, the owner finally came back and relieved it!

Hacks for Google Calendar Sync (Version: 0.9.3.2): clearing the marked deleted items to be sync-ed

I found myself in serious need to have Google Calender Sync (GCS) to forget about sync-ing deleted Outlook Calendar items. If GCS does not forget, it would then delete the same items on Google Calendar, too! And that's very bad for me!

Luckily, after some hack, I found one way: just delete saved state files of GCS. It works like this:
  1. Exit GCS.
  2. Go to the folder named:"%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Calendar Sync\data_files"
  3. Removing all files, except "user_properties.txt" and "user_info_2.txt".
  4. Restart GCS. It is done!
Enjoy it!

The longest distance

Sometimes I feel myself quite slow adapting to new technologies. I might have already accepted the concept, and agreed to all its possibilities. But in the end, no ACTIONS are taken. Too bad!

Act on them!

I write this post to remind myself: keep the distance between my hands and the heart very short! Never let it become the longest one!
