Open source first rule

We are very happy that there are hundreds of tons of brian working on those open source projects everyday, which rapidly enhance the code structures of their projects. However, if an open source code is in its 0.n version, then don't try it, only a waste of time. Also, though open source gather smart brians from all over the world for free, but meanwhile they also gather free of responsibility. Meaning every code maker will have much less responsibility cells in their mind then if they are actually hired by a boss. So, money = trust.


Recently, I tried to build up a sql server, which is MySQL. All the sql server are the same when they are naked. I tried some GUI clothes, Navicat has 30 days free trial, and it turns out that Navicat though simple but works. CocoaMySQL is in it's 0.5 version, so she still can do nothing.

Something about diacritics and other abnormal letters

etc.


The problem comes out from sometimes though very rare we need those letters e.g. ö, õ. This kind of letters namely Diacritics. After some little research, I found the methods to show those letters. For html,
acute Á Á
circumflex  Â
grave À À
tilde à Ã
umlaut Ä Ä
cedilla Ç Ç
sz ß ß
slash ø ø
breve ă :(
ae æ æ
ampersand & &
ð

to be finished...

Today, we lost in a tiny field soccer game

Yi Zhengliang has played a hat-trick, but this didn't help us to win the game. One of the reason is that the poor goalie... After the game, Zhengliang told that for a forward attacker, it's very simple, first you should have a very good burst speed or say acceleration (for those physicists), which can be got from the excercise of muscle and 20m folder running. and the second is that when you practise your shoot skill, you only need to remember one corner of the goal, then practise "2-5 steps then shoot" near the penalty line. and in this way for an amatuer match, you could goal at least once per game. and that's only true for forwards.

resume the exercise

instead of running a constant speed for a long way, i try to do 5X25 meter back and forward running. I only ran four times, and then died out. the reason i change my practicing style is because i'd like to progress my soccer ability.
