今日無意中在 Google中 search "eee download"發現了一個 eeedownload.asus.com的 website.於是即刻 click入去睇睇有乜野可以 download. 原來可供下載的 program 也不少， 像有  GIMP, Inkscape, MPlayer, Kaffeine Player, Audacity, zsnes 等等...

但可惜的是網站標題注明：

Currently supports OS version 1.1 and up

：（  咁即係我的 701 用唔到

So, if I can get a H.264 decoder, then the Linux version of EeePC should be able to watch H.264 SD programs too. After asking Google, I found that the VLC media player has build-in support for DVB. Thanks to FOSS

Below shows the screen capture while watching TVB J2. I have use VLC's function to resize the screen output by half, such that I can watch the log and do the screen capture.

The sound is smooth but the screen sometimes slow/lag.

But for ATV channels, only sound is coming out.

already reported.

Today, received the authorization from HKO on reproduce/re-disseminate their weather information.

In addition, HKO also provided a detailed documentation on how their information is organized in the HTML files, such that programmer can collect the information accurately. Those information is very useful, and this will lead to some minor enhancements to the HKWW.

Although it is still marked as experimental, HKWW is now available for installation at AMO.

上圖為在 EeePC 701 上 FireFox 2.0.0.11 運行的 Screen-shot

• Ubuntu 8.04 LTS + FireFox 3.0
• Windows XP + FireFox 3.0
• Windows XP + FireFox 2.0.0.15

近日天氣這麼不穩定， 相信會是測試的好時候。

真的要多謝 Extension Wizard 的幫助， 使得像我這些新手馬上就能架起基本的框架展開工作。

今天的目標是在 Status-bar 中能顯示圗示和用 XMLHttpRequest 從天文台取得現正生效的警告。
在 MDC 中的技術文件都頗為詳細， 所以沒有什麼大的問題。

, 會中三位 Firefox extension developer : Haggen, Chris Chan 和 網絡暴民， 均介紹了他們自己開發的 extension. 並說開發一個 extension 其實好容易， 和寫一般網頁差不多。

就是這樣， 便引起我去開發一個 extension 的興趣 。。。

Thanks to the hard work of XEPC.org. By install their recovery disk, I can get 2.3G of free SSD space out of my EeePC 701.

It is a brilliant idea to compress the content stored at the system partition which is read-only in the default setting. Such method is not new and is very common among LiveCDs. I don't understand why Asus didn't implement of such method to better utilize the small SSD space at the beginning.

If you mirror the previous rose, and place it side-by-side. You will get a heart in the middle.
