23/6~25/6 Creative Warehouse大热卖

By Jiasen Low On June 18, 2006 Comments Off

6月23至25日又是Creative的warehouse sale了！从海报里面，发现Creative的秘密mp3产品的踪迹。“Tiny with a price to match”，该不会是像Ipod Shuffle之类的东西吧？！我猜应该是像Zen Vision:M的迷你版。纯粹猜测而已，我也对Creative的mp3没有兴趣。

DirectX 10 for Windows Vista only

By Jiasen Low On June 17, 2006 Comments Off

It’s a piece of sad news for all Windows gamers. I not sure whether purposely do not support other version of Windows for DirectX 10. But for sure, Microsoft now has put up a invisible net by forcing more and more people to acquire their next “most expecting” next generation operation system software — Windows Vista.

We finally got the official word that Direct X 10 won’t find its way to Windows XP. So anyone who plans to buy Direct X 10 hardware and plans to use its full potential will have to buy Vista as well.

via the inquirer

And from the vista’s requirement, surely must have strong hardware in all aspect to run Windows Vista, like the memory, graphics and etc. Basically, this also has forced me to add a pci express graphic card into my wish list.

虚惊一场的硬盘报销记

By Jiasen Low On June 17, 2006 Comments Off

哇。还以为电脑硬盘就这样坏了。刚才，不知怎么的其中一个硬盘可能是有bad sectors还是怎么地就不可以进行读写。我就不以为然地restart电脑，看看情况会好些吧。结果，附带在我的Raid卡的两个硬盘都不能侦测到。尝试从My Computer里打开那两个硬盘，结果竟出现问我是否要format硬盘。吓坏我了，不会就这样要报销三个硬盘吧。

试试在boot xp之前，scandisk chkdsk /r 修补不果。经过尝试结果才发现，原来从Raid卡是不能直接进行修补的，得衔接到motherboard上普通的IDE才行。 这下，才终于拯救回原来的状态。 :happy_tb: 。

Skype 2.5.0.113

同事说Gtalk多好多好，我想他是没用过Skype，所以才会那么惊奇现在的VoIP systems软件有和电话般的清晰。我倒也没试过用Gtalk语音聊天，因为上面的朋友不多。我只能说不了解为什么会那么普遍，和环境有莫大的关系吧。就像中国的朋友都在用QQ那样，在中国以外的地方这根本是红不起来的。

Google’s Beta Online Photo Albums – Picasa Web Albums

By Jiasen Low On June 16, 2006 Comments Off

Google fans should know there is a photo management software called Picasa out there. Now, Google wants to add in more functions into it, which I think this web albums function is very necessary. I personally love flickr, but only if it comes with no price tag for advanced functions.
