一幢13层在建商品楼的倒塌

6月27日6时左右,上海闵行区莲花南路罗阳路口一幢13层在建商品楼发生倒塌事故。 坏消息总有好的一面:幸亏这是一幢没有入住的楼盘,否则就不是只死一个人了。幸亏楼间距比较宽,否则就是超级多米诺骨牌。

Google.com blocked in china

I don't know what happened for Kaifu and Google China. He was on a China Mobile 3G ads with several other IT celebrities to prompt 3G several weeks ago. And there was hot news about damn Green Dam.

Now Google.com is blocked. That's just absurd.

A traffic mess

I left for work this morning around 7:30AM, and arrived at office at 8:45AM. It cost me 40 CNY . Shit! Normally it is a less-than-half-hour ride, costs around 24 CNY . This is what happening, in the name of massive Economic stimulation plan, and City Expo 2010. All the major roads in Shanghai are under construction or reconstruction. The business along the roads is hit badly because the roads are locked down and digged upside down. The restaurants posts huge posters crying out loud business as usual . Traffic will be this mess until the merry City Expo opens. This is the problem related to the culture, they just can't lose. Whatever it is, whatever it takes, it will be the most successful event, the biggest, the tallest, the largest.

Normally I will downgrade preloaded Vista to XP, for better and wider software selections. It is straightforward for Dell. It always comes with the utility CD, including all the drivers for popular OS (2000, XP, and Vista). Based on this expectation, I thought to install XP on a HP Pavilion DV2-1105AX laptop is just as simple as that. I was wrong. After XP is installed, the poor thing can't find the drivers for network, sound, video and whole bunch of other cards. The laptop doesn't come with any companion CDs. If you don't have network access, you are stucked. First thing, I need locate the driver for network card. And after some googlings, I realize there are some work. I looked for drivers at HP official site, and found nothing. It only supports for Vista. After extensive tryings, I finally got almost all working, except the video card, which is now just in Windows generic driver. Here is the list. 1. BIOS flush. It mentioned somewhere, and not necessary. 2. Chipset ftp:
