Finally

I did it!

Stages 31 & 32

BLOXORZ

This is a flash game very popular recently:

Some of the stages are quite straightforward, some may be frustrating.  Very often, after fooling around trying desperately to find a way and suddenly, you find your block standing where you want it to be.

狗瑞 Very Old Dog

有個狗友家裡有隻狗瑞，17歲的秋田。不久前大病一場，被老獸醫治好後昨天第一次看到，除了動作慢以外看起來很好。之前看過另一隻老狗，也是17歲，已經全身僵硬不太能動了。
There is a 17-year-old Akita, it looks fine.  I wonder what Kuro would look like at that age.  I've seen another dog that was also 17 years old, it's body was stiff and could barely move.

Cloudy Week

Another week without the sun.

Platinum Pocket Warmer

Another "antique".

１０１ In the Mist

It was sunny and hot in the morning and it became like this in the afternoon.

Sunny Finally

After being blocked by the clouds in the entire week, the sun finally comes out.

Cloudy Week

Another week without the sun.

New Found Palm Tree in Madagascar

Just learned from CNN that a self-destructing palm tree is discovered in Madagascar:

It says this palm tree flowers every 100 years and then dies.  This reminds me of the saying that bamboos don't flower, when they do, they die.

Scientists can't explain this phenomenon, they can only guess.

This palm tree is called giant because it can grow up to 66 feet high... that's about 7 stories high.  I hope it does not produce any coconuts.

Baby Kuro

Kuro was born on Sep. 12, 2004. At the age of 26 days, he was brought to our family with dozens of fleas and a number of ascarids. His paws were so soft and smooth.

Cold Week

The weatherman says the cold and wet weather will last until Saturday.

Well, it's not really that cold.

Sun Way 235

This one is made in China.  Although looks similar, the quality and workmanship are no match of the original German Feuerhand lantern.

Feuerhand Lantern

It's time to use my Feuerhand 276 tin-plated storm lantern, it makes the room look warmer in this cold winter night.  It's sold on Internet for €12.49.  I bought it 2 years ago for NT$600, first-hand.

氣質 Kuro

懷爐

突然想起20多年前當兵時用過的National BG-307懷爐，馬上從儲藏室找出來，加了臭臭的去漬油，用電池點火，很快就熱起來了。因為去漬油很容易揮發燃燒，一定要放在保護絨套裡，不然會太燙。

在網路上找到這個：

一方面說狂賣熱銷、補貨無期，一方面又說效果不夠好，這東西在日本到底賣得熱不熱？

Cold and Wet

It's raining now and it's cold.  The temperature is expected to drop to 13 degrees.

Weather Change

It was sunny yesterday morning, perfect for voting.  As the cold front approaches, it became windy and cloudy.  It's called 變天.

Voting Day

It's just past midnight.  A new day begins, it's the voting day.

For the first time in history we use 2 ballots to select new legislators, one for the candidate and the other for the party.

There are also 2 referendums.

Ubuntu

Installed Ubuntu 7.10 in another hard drive, took me more time than expected.  The first Ubuntu 7.10 freezes too often!

MBR

Leopard will not start from MBR.

Monitor

Sometimes my monitor PHILIPS 190B shows me Ghosting with signals from Lemel GeForce2 MX

Leopard Panics

Leopard panics when trying to startup.  Found some information and will try in the evening.

Fingers crossed.

Dirty Air

The air quality is "Bad", according to the EPA.  Addition to that, it is also very humid.

Leopard

Have problem with my Leopard!
