World Leisure Expo 2006

Posted in China at 3:56 am by xbin999

I went to work by bus on this morning, saw an advertisement of World Leisure Expo 2006 on the bus. The expo will begin in 121 days in Hangzhou, China. It will be a party for all people, like West Lake Expo. Here’s the web site.

WL, the abbreviation, seems to be a wordplay.  World Leisure, or West Lake, hah.

Weather forecast

Posted in English, Funny at 3:06 am by xbin999

I subscribed weather forecast from Accuweather with forecastfox. It’s so convienent. Small icons ,like sun, cloud or rain, are displayed in the right-bottom corner in firefox. But for the same icon, there are different means.

For sun it can be ‘Sunny’, or ‘A full day of sunshine’. Aha, so which is more sunny? And how is ‘Cloudy’ and ‘A good deal of sun’?

How to talk weather in English in a general way?

BTW. The englishpod is a good podcast site for foreigner to learn English. I like it. And Ken is an active blogger,too. It’s time to vote Best Chinese Podcasts in 2005 . Go to the website, and vote for englishpod.

Awful JVM in hpux

Posted in IT at 1:26 pm by xbin999

I’m busy and really tired recently. We’re developing Business Accounting& Settling System for Mobile corp. It will be released next week. Wish i can have a good Chinese New Year!

But I’m annoyed with the JVM in hpux now. Our java program can work well in windows, but crashed in hpux. Faint!

Aaah, the same program can work in another HP host. Its jdk is 1.4.2.05. The jdk which used in crashed host is 1.4.2.09. In hp site, it’s said that jdk 1.4.2.09 can work with HPUX 11.0, 11.15 and 11.23, not 11.11. Maybe it’s the reason. So we reinstalled jdk with version 1.4.2.05. To my sadness, it’s as before.

Sometimes it can work, sometimes it crashed, and sometimes it seemed to fall in dead loop. The cpu is busy, but nothing is done.

Give a simple test:

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
java -version
done
It crashed after executing for a while. I had no idea more. Maybe os patch is needed. Who know? We need to seek help from hp.

Openomy Developers’ Community

Posted in Openomy at 8:32 am by xbin999

Here’s Openomy Developer’s Community.

How to think about the security for openomy, developers and end users? End users use the sevices which developered by the third party. They must grant the application to access there files which stored in openomy, but password should not be exposured. Developers own their application key, which should be private too. It’s difficult for open source. For openomy, he need to think about all of these.
Which is better? Discuss it.

Tag directory

Posted in Funny, IT at 6:20 am by xbin999

Tag exists anywhere. Patrick setup a tag directory with delicious, and sold listing to advertisers. Wow, a genius idea! His goal is $250,000 for his wedding debt fee, and he had gotten $380 now. Good luck!

I don’t know if the mode will be copied in China soon, just like million dollar home page. Maybe sell keso‘ tag is a good idea. Haha!
