Tick-Tock

Life Recorder

Review on Dan Brown's Digital Fortress

I forgot to mention that I have fnished reading it a week ago. So it's time to let me say some words on it.

My first impression on this book? You really wanna know? It's boring at the beginning of the story which made me ummotivated to keep reading it. But in the end, it's getting climax and interesting.

Its story? Erm, it happened at NSA (National Security Agency), USA where it had a machine called TRANSLRT which can intercept any encrypted email from all over world and decrypted it. This permited them to reveal any illegal actions like corruption and terrorism, which could endanger the security of USA.

Then an ex-japanese-worker at NSA, who was son of a female victim in Hiroshima, Japan where it had been bombed by USA army during second world war, claimed that NSA should respect people's privacy because everyone is permitted to have his/her own secret, hence the destruction of TRANSLRT is a must for NSA.

So the Japanese guy invented a genius algorithm code which was not able to be decrypted by TRANSLRT, the ultimate code which was put on bidding on internet and downloadable for everyone. The one whose bid is highest would have the decrypt key. The Japanese guy threatened NSA to destroy the TRANSLRT before the bidding was ended.

The NSA didn't believe it's unbreakable code and downloaded a copy then tested by using TRANSLRT. Normally TRANSLRT spends maximum 3 minutes to decrypt an encrypted email. TRANSLRT had run almost 24 hours but it's failed to decrypt the genius algorithm code.

There was attempt to get the code from the Japanese guy. So the whole story is about murder, being hunted, keep on the run, etc. For those who are interested, this book is you wanna looking for. Another thriller novel from Dan Brown.

Acknowledgment

Amazingly, my blog does support some html code, like embed music code, as you are listening now. Cool huh... [the music has been removed - 06/05/2006]

By the way, I have created a link for my Shout Box, it is just located at the sidebar. I know it's a bit troublesome to click it, anyway this is the best solution for the moment.

Thanks Florian for sending me a postcard from New York! Yahoo! Another postcard from USA... Kai Lun, don't worry, you have it too... And for others, no jealous eye, ok? I have asked you to make friends internationally...

Teacher says so many times, DID YOU LISTEN?! DID YOU LISTEN! DID YOU LISTEN! NO, YOU DIDN'T LISTEN!

Haha, a quotation by Wu Zhong Xian, a Taiwanese famous show host.

And I am waiting another gift too from somebody special, thanks first! I will let you know when it reaches at my personal warm + cutie mailbox.

Yet another unpleasant case happened on me yesterday. Many thanks for those who listened and consoled me. Today's a new day and also last day of the week, which mean tomorrow is weekend, which mean again, I will disappear again for 3 days, from Saturday till Monday. Where will I appear in this world? Yet it's secret, haha... or you have another solution, decipher this and you will know where am I going...

PSMFBOT

Hint: It's a city not far from Paris, located in the south of Paris. Here's the France map, perhaps it can help you to sort out...
If it's too small to view, save it and zoom it. By the way, do you know where is Metz?

Ok, I have to back to work. Have a nice try on it... tchao!

M:i:III

Mission Impossible III, it's bloody nice! Today Jun Hui, Min and I went to cinema to watch the first show in Metz with student price 4,40€. What made me like this film is its actions, touching scenes and the language spoken (Cantonese, Chinese, Italian) and not forgetting that I spotted Malaysia Airlines logo in one of the scene, so suddenly I had that feeling, feeling good. Some scenes took part in Vatican City, since I had visited there before, so I had the feeling of "reality". Erm, don't know what I'm saying... I am such guy, when I read novel or watch movie which happens at the place where I had visited before, I would have the feeling, feeling excited. M:i:III, recommended to watch! No regret!

Vive Opera Blog

After considering several aspects and listening to certain fans' opinion, I think I will stick to Opera Blog.

Those aspects are:
1. User-friendly, nice interface.
2. Upload photos quickly and easily, plus slideshow at sidebar as bonus.
3. Allowed to create link, which I could create a link to my other photos pages when Opera Blog can no longer hold any photos.
4. Post message faster.
5. Major internet browsers supported.
6. Countdown at sidebar, cool!

Sorry guys, you have to return to here, delete the previous address. From now on, I will fix at this blog, no further changes (hope so).

Remember to bookmark this: http://my.opera.com/wychian/blog

Sorry for the inconvenience. Take care, bye!

Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars


Initially it was a rumour, but after I checked on internet, it's confirmed.

My favourite strategy game, Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars has been announced finally. The release date is still unknown, estimated will be out next year 2007. This game I have been waiting for 3 years! I can't wait for its upcoming game, cool!

Min saw two Proton Wira cars today in Saint Avold, really unbelievable! Two differents Proton Wira. We started to wonder is there any car agence in Saint Avold that sells Proton Wira. Two Malaysian cars driving in a small French city, really unbelievable!

Tomorrow we will be off a day, both my boss and my parrain aren't at office, they asked us to stay at home, cool! One more day off! Coincidentally tomorrow also the release of Mission Impossible III, so maybe Jun Hui, Muhaimin and I will go to cinema to watch its first scene in Metz, nice huh?

I will create a photo link for my blog, make sure you guys can always access to my photos.

OK, till then, bye!

Alternative Solution

YAHOO! I have found another solution for my homepage! Instead using Opera Blog, I will change to Blogger.com. Apparently, it has lots of features than Opera blog and I just use one of its features, that's enough for me... that is, I can reuse my wychian.free.fr address! Blogger has the function that put its blog at other server. I have my own server, that's is .free.fr/.

I have tested it and it works! So, I will abondon this Opera blog and concentrate on my new blog address, hope it will be the last destination and won't change again. So, please bookmark the following address...

http://wychian.free.fr/blog

That's it, nothing change, just adding /blog behind it. In the meantime, you still can access to my homepage (without /blog). In a nutshell,

http://wychian.free.fr/(my homepage)
http://wychian.free.fr/blog (my blog)

So I will concentrate more in blog, so see you there! It is definitely my last destination and I am exploring the Blogger functions, it seems very complex, very nice. I have to take time to understand all its features.

So dear my fans, go to http://wychian.free.fr/blog what are you waiting for! See you there! Tchao!

iPod nano

Apple rumor reports: bigger Nanos incoming
Posted by: Molly Wood

Rumor, in the form of an analyst research note, has it that bigger iPod Nanos are in the works, with double the storage: 4GB and 8GB. Plus, analyst Shaw Wu says he thinks the Nano will be able to play video, the video iPod will get a longer battery life, and 13-inch Intel laptops are coming soon. There go those analysts, for you...always crawling way out on the limb.

Source: Alpha CNET




Wah, incredible! Apple really knows how to do business, my iPod nano can't support movie... Anyway, who cares to watch movie with a tiny display? Its life battery would be improved, erm... no comment on this, but my iPod nano works fine, no problem for the moment, a nice mp3 player which should be possessed by mp3 fans.

Many friends were shocked on my announce yesterday at my homepage, "why you abandon your homepage?" "why you change to blog?" So many questions "why"... As I mentionned earlier, my homepage uses html code, so it takes time everytime I update my homepage; blog is not same, I just type my feeling here, then click post, and c'est tout, much more easier than html-based homepage, so I just wanna save my time on my daily thought.

Maybe later I will look for another blog client, since Opera blog just offer 300mb of space only and its functions aren't as much as MySpace, but I won't use MySpace cause it isn't supported by all browsers, perhaps I will try to use Blogger since I had an account there before, I am not sure they had disactivated it or not, I will try it later... Or you guys have any blog client to recommend to me? Give me some opinions, thanks. Leaving comment here won't need any subscription, just put your name and your comment, that's it... thanks once again.

OK, take care guys!

P/S: 阿雅's leaving for USA for her study, 7 years! I am very 不舍得... Hope her depart will bring brightness for her future. 阿雅,加油哦!

About My Homepage

wychian.free.fr, a site where my fans love to go... I have thought about this question too. I have run my site for about a year ago, just feel a bit 'sayang' :worried: on it when I create this blog. What should I do?

I put all my efforts on it, like trying to improve the site so that everyone can access it easily, making it user-friendly, adding some effects on it, etc. Making a html-based site isn't easy, each time I have to deal with that complex code, copy this, paste there, change the code, etc. Even adding photos also takes time, put the caption on each photos... everything takes time. All I want is just jotting down my feeling on something and sharing it with you guys by using the simpler yet faster way possible, that's why blogging comes to my mind.

Anyway, I won't dump my site :left: . I will keep it, you guys still can access it everytime you wanna go. My photos and movies won't be deleted from that site unless something pops up to my mind, asking me to remove it. If not, for the moment, I will leave it tranquille.

So, to all my fans, let me know your feeling on this. I would like to know you guys' feeling too. Drop me some words, thanks.

Last but not least, remember to bookmark my new blog. :D

My New Blog

These few days I was wondering, why I waste my time on editing html code everytime I update my homepage? Why don't I choose the simple way to express my feeling and thought, like becoming a blogger?

Another problem popped up, which blog should I use? Blogger? My Space? Xanga? At last, I finally made my decision, since I am fan of Opera internet browser, why don't I support its blog too? Yeah, finally I've got myself here...

As a new blogger, I discover around, edit the layout, changing the style... to see whether blog could really satisfy my demande. Still discovering it, will inform you guys about it later.

Ok, type till here. Oh yeah, by the way, welcome to Alexandre's Lair :D .
