I built an Ubuntu Kylin 13.10 laptop. That is because my friend's laptop got a virus, and it need to be re-build. I am not able to find a recovery disk and I aimed to find a way to fix that laptop without any charges. Thus, I got a linux reflash on the laptop. At first, I got a KUbuntu, because it has KDE which is very similar with Windows. But I cannot get the Chinese input method working in OS. So, I installed Ubuntu. That works very fine, all hardware drivers missing and Chinese input method is working fine too. Personally, I like that UI more. That is a side bar for all frequent use programs! I wish my friend like it!

Although that is still a blank window , I am working hard on that,AdvGen Contact Manager. I am aiming to use it for the contact management system in my fellowship. It will have a local database ,a nice WPF interface and 100% written in C#. I wish this xmas holidays, I will have more time to work on this project. That will be a tool for my fellowship.
(P.S. I wish I can get other groups in my church to use that!)

I remember the first things I learnt in the workplace, never assume my codes will work. I have to test it first. Anythings is not tested, please assume that will not work. Moreover, I should always assume my plan will not work, then we need to think about the backup plan!

I bought some books from App Store before, but I like Kindle more. I am more prefer to buy books from Amazon. This is because Kindle apps can support multi-platforms. If I buy a book, I can use it in my iPad, Kindle and S3. That is so convenient. If I buy a book in App Store, I only read it via iPad. In that logic, buying a book in Kindle sounds more value for money.

Because my router is melt down last year, I got some new gears for my home office network. I got a new gigabit Ethernet switch for my office. For the internet speed, it won't affect at all. My old Ethernet was already faster than my ADSL 2+ connection, but now, the network is much better for internal files transfer via my office network! This is everything happened in the wired network! That is light speed!
