Recently I started using Mac to develop iOS software and discovered a number of useful software to make our lives easier. The first one I would like to recommend is BetterTouchTool. It can enhance your touchpad or mouse (or even magic mouse) experience by adding gestures (swipes) and handy actions (including resizing windows when drag to screen edge) which ease my pain of resizing windows in Mac OS.

Newer is not always better…

Newest software may seem cool but not always better than their previous versions. Sometimes they just go into a wrong direction — adding useless functions and make them become monster big and horribly slow. I have come across a website claimed that they have the old versions for popular programs. Quite promising but some links are just not working very well. Worth a look, though.

Best Windows Search Replacement

Locate32 is a powerful and fast file search engine for searching file by their names for Windows platform. If you usually find files by their names instead of by their content, Locate32 will be your fastest and best choice. Indexing and searching is lightning fast. The indexing process of other desktop search applications like google desktop search are much slower (since they index the file names and content). Searching critirea are very flexible. You may even use regular expression to find files! (Google desktop doen’t support boolean search!)

Free Encyclopaedia and Books Online

I am not talking about books and encyclopaedias which are sold in bookstores are giving away for free. Wikipedia and Wikibooks are projects which contents are solely written by internet users or are adopted from public domain (free to use and distrubute). Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/) has enormous number of articles and increasing every day. Similar to the wikipedia project, wikibooks are also available for free and the books are well maintained therefore they are also very useful for internet users. The topics of the books is very broad including not only computer-related books but also books about language learning, and even recipes(!).

Protected: “You are Hired!”

The school which they interviewed me at the end of last month contacted me today.

In fact, since I have not got their called for a week, I have already felt that I am not being chosen. I am a suprised receiving their call this afternoon. They are going to hire me as a Teaching Assistant and therefore I am no longer unemployed (I worked as freelance worker after quiting my last job). I am looking forward to working in that school.

Radio programme about blogging

Last night, a new radio programme about blogging is being launched in RTHK (Radio and Television of Hong Kong). It is called åŽŸæž—éƒ¨è½ in Chinese. Thought I missed the live programme last night, I listened to the programme by checking out its archive which is very convenient to me. RTHK also provide podcast versions of their programmes. Check them out!
