Guess every enjoyment comes with a price, either before or after.

| | W-live IM |  The new Windows Live Messenger? Only beta now, but it's all right to give it a try. Luckily , they have improved some things I don't like about msn messenger before. Now I don't need to see those tabs beside the contact list, neither personal representable images in my contact list. One thing I'd appreciated more is now I can rename people in my contact list rather than having a bunch of confusing nicknames(though, still have personal messages. Couldn't they just make it written in contact card?). Some more pluses, it allows to send offline messages, and also customize the color for the contact list window. All right, they try to make their program better, I see that. Still, not enough for me to become a fan of msn messenger yet. However, my appreciations are given. - May 11th, Thursday -

| | You ate up the tail of your word! | "This is my first message, I want to know how can you help me on this thing..."
Actually the message should end without those several dots. I've just learned and tried to get used to receive messages from web or in the email which people just drop me "THE MESSAGE" without giving me their names. Somehow almost everyone turns himself into instant of something. I think it would still be proper just to follow some standard procedures to talk and write to someone when we are not in an instant communication mode. I'm afraid sooner or later we're going to eat up our own language as well. - August 2th, Tuesday -

| | When the one goes down | | In 2003, the Internet Explorer had around 71% users while the Mozilla had only 7% users, and now in 2005, the percentage of Mozilla Firefox users has ascended to 21.5% while the percentage of Internet Explorer users goes down to around 64%. Most of the Mozilla Firefox users didn't get to know it from the media express but from people around, and this situation spread extremely fast, so fast that coders haven't totally prepared for this yet. In some certain matter of fact, I'd like the logic of Mozilla Firfox handle the scripts, however, the conflict always runs into me that the fact IE's users are still the majority. So what are we going to do? Long time ago, I could say that the statistics of browser users had decided for me, and now, they are almost even. However, IE and M.fFox has many places work differently. Technically, for the situation now, I shall not neglect any side of users, and try to make either the page layout or browser program work on both sides. Though it brings more jobs than usual, and it probably also worth doing it. Let alone for the benefit of users, it also could be my support and encouragement for a better logical software to be developed. It means, if there has any limit scripting issue that one side of the browser won't support it, I'd try to avoid using it. - March 28th, Monday -

| | Chinese characters | Usually they use big-5 to deal with the Chinese characters on the web pages for displaying the Chinese word, and no doubt it is right. However I didn't write the web scripting under the Chinese windows environment yet I've set my current windows (English, 2000) to support Chinese as well. So far so good, I have the form to store Chinese text into mySql with ASP. The page with form and the page display the records are both encoded with big-5, but the result is only 95 percent of Chinese is shown correctly, the rest 5 percent is shown as weird error codes. This error still remains when I tested it with my friend in Taiwan when by using submit the form under Chinese windows.
Occasionally, I noticed the Chinese word was shown 100 percent correctly on one of my page with encode of western charset=iso-8859-1, and after I traced back its form page, and this page is also encoded with charset=iso-8859-1. It is jus odd that the thing works out when I never believed and guess I may try it with this way. Look at those records inside the mySql, those Chinese word shown correctly are stored as a group of symbol and number, such as &12345; .This kind of type of storing did looks safer by the since of computing and I wonder exactly what do those numbers mean to computer.
