There are some NHibernate add-on to do automated mapping, such as NHibenrate Attributes,Active Record and FluentHibernate. I don't really like those libraries, because that sounds adding another layer on ORM. I have some double on the speed. Moreover, if you are lazy to create xml mapping files, there are a number of code generators in the market. They can generate those xml mapping files from your database schema. I don't know why we need to introduce another layer on ORM!

When you get a file locked by a process and you need to delete it, I have tried two software.

The first one is Lock Hunter. You can find it in download.com, please click here(64-bit) to download, or here for 32-bit

The seconder is Unlocker. I am using it for years! This is also available from download.com, please click here to download.

From the information of Twitter, now you can have more words in twitter. They increased the characters limit to 140. Moreover, they got others improvements, such as new look of their site and better integration with media files. The new feature I love most is the related content. When I clicked a tweet, the details pane shows some more information related to the author or subject. That's great!

I tried Google Instant. Well, so far, that is not available on Google.com.au. So, I went to Google.com.
Now, I typed a few words in the search box. It will automatic fill the suggestions in the box. Not only that, the result page will pop up INSTANTLY. In addition, while I am typing, results in the page will be update too, like the image before:

That sounds a heavy weight action. But I test with IE8, that is not very slow.

Android got a very poor support from Skype. Skype has a Skype Lite in the Android Market, but they withdrew the application later on. Moreover, Fring used to be support Skype. Not long ago, I found Fring doesn't support Skype anymore. But I found another VOIP client, Truphone.

It is a "software phone". It can call out normal landline. Moreover, it supports a number of IM applications, such as GTalk, MSN, AIM and Skype too! But that is same as previous versions of Fring. It won't support SkypeOut. Anyway, that is a good replacement of fring.
