I decided to move my blog to my own site! Google is great and free, but, since I am a developer, I am kind like to be able to tweak around the application that I am using, too. So, I can have things the way exactly what I like! Please visit my new site at http://www.maxtsai.com/p.s. I will have more technical stuff at my new site! It is really my logs on the Web now....

This is my new favor thing to do .. rsync (http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/) through ssh!1. Set up SSH key pair between the same login at two hosts:At the Source Host (copy from):Do a ssh-keygen -t rsa to generate the private/public key pairIt is commonly to save it under ~/.ssh as id_rsa and id_rsa.pubI would now do a sftp the public key file (id_rsa.pub) to my Target Host and save it under .ssh

http://quercus.caucho.com/I enjoy developing JEE, but am kind of tired of JSP and other Template Engines. Why can there be just something that my designers can just do it without coming to me all the time?

I have involved in quiet a few of projects in my career. I have success within quiet a few of projects and, from time to time, I am pretty confortable of taking the role of my area of resiponsibilities. However, it is much bigger challenge among the intra-organizational projects.Time to think!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational_conflicthttp://www.umext.maine.edu/onlinepubs/htmpubs/6106.htm

I can not aruge that Simple is Success. Once agian, for one of my new projects, CakePhp is the winner after looking at Symfony. Yes, Sumfony is very promising and (personally) it rocks. But, it is complicate comparing to CakePhp. CakePhp takes no time to get started. Actually, 15 minutes after seeing the blogger tutorial! It is really awesome with the other Helper for Ajax and For Smarty fans,

2nd Life, a 3D virtual reality world program, is getting popular, but something is missing.A 3D vision is starting with an individual view to surrounding artifacts. 3D virtual world is formed by individual 3D views with interactions. The ownership of visions should not be governed by a software company. Creative is unlimited, but 2nd Life does not provide that.Also, a simulated human interaction

It is incomplete without a design of user interaction based on the natural human behaviors.For kids in computer based 3D world, we would replace the pencil and paper with a laser pointer and pad I would say.

This is an easy way to dump Real RTSP stream:1. Download MPlayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/) if you do not have it on your Mac. I use MPlayer and VLC a lot.2. Open a Terminal3. Find the binary 'mplayer' under where you install the MPlayer (dig deep into the "MPlayer OSX.app" folder); make sure to use the right version for your Mac, i.e. universal binary version for MacBooks4. run $MPLAYER_PATH/

Wiimote just awesome. Barely to see any action delay! Not going to complain. I created Mii for Tiffany, Albert, Cosette and myself. We are looking forward to joining Mii parade tonight ..Somehow, I really think Wii might take over SecondLife soon on the 3D VR-World. SL is hard since users have to use 10 fingers to do the whole body's work. Wiimote allows players to use the actual body for

I finally got my Wii boundle from Costco with an extra remote and a game. It took me 5 minutes to set up. Most of time is to move my TV and connect the wires. Remote got connected before I was aware of it. So far so cool!Added my Internet Channel - Free to download until June!

KVM: Kernel-based Virtual Machine for Linux KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU

Starting with Virtual PC - now free from MS, VMWare workstation and now the Server - Free, Q and Parallel on Mac OS, and .. anyway, virtualization rocks when your application environment does not need the whole host power!
