Went to Ah Yao's house on sun to play Wii , attendance : Honey , Pam , [G]er , jerome
Tennis 4 player is fun =) Ah yao's house like arcade ... so many types of entertainment haha , honey's xiao yao style of bowling was inspirational , NDS lite seems to be so fun that [G]er was playing it all the time , Guitar hero 2 looks nice too

then after that they go eat dinner , i met up with WS , TX , HY @ yakun then mac
the usual talks , but @ mac we saw an ugly confrontation
i went forward to stop it cos i remember the smaller guy was some1 i knew back in tae kwon do days

then the girlfriend dragged the aggressor away from the scene... he accused joey of staring at his girlfriend , taking pictures and laughing ._. he just wanna hoot some1 , i think if i not there to stop ... GG liao

Encounters with the 3rd kind

BORED LAR =(

LIbrary is a good place to go

The air con is shiok , the chairs are comfy , the range of self help book is impressive , the book drop is almost instantaneously returned , the borrowing of books takes less then a minute , a far cry from the past wait for 15 mins back in amk library. its the place to study at , the place to improve at

i borrowed 2 books , RUnners's world complete book of running and photoshop cs complete course

hope to complete these 2 books and improve on both my physical condition and my soft skills =)

met many old friends here and there , ai jiao ar , erwin ar , and even made new ones =D

ending this with a quote from the running book

"Beginning to run is a declaration of personal independance . A statement that says,"
In a world that confronts me with mechanical convenience and idle luxury at virtually every turn, i have decided , nonetheless, to improve my physical fitnes"

You will realise that running offers so much more then just a flatter stomach , more muscle tone , and a longer more vibrant life , For most of us , body and soul both tune in to this stimulating activity we call running, running strengthes the body , while it soothes the soul ( and clears the mind for me =) )

News using technology

I read an article in vol 24 , issue 8 , 2006 of PC world

its about Web News Wranglers.
Almost all of these tools depend on RSS feeds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS as opposed to another sort of syndication ( like atom)
for me a good xml reader would be firefox2.0 ! Go get it at
www.mozilla.com/firefox/

8 topics were Mentioned
1)filtering the feeds
Techmeme.com vs Tailrank.com
Top news vs personlization options ( which may be just the thing that pulls it ahead)
topnews showcases the top tech stories of the day while tail rank relies on the conversational model of the web

My comment : This just recommends a link to 2 good sites

2)watching your every read
news.google.com
Findory.com
Spotback.com

My comment :these sites will log what you read and customize news
findory always you to add feeds, while spotback lets you notify them what are you interested among what you read.

3)wisdom of crowds
Diggit.com vs slashdot.org
forms of social news sites
their logic : the most interesting content will rise to the front page.

My comment : local social news sites come in the form of forums like stomp , hwz , vr-zone , sammyboy's delphi forums , etc.

4)take control of your news
dedicated news reader
save your favorites with extensions .opml and you can easily export feeds from one reader to another
Dedicated readers include

radio.userland.com
reader.google.com
bloglines.com
rojo.com

My comment : Firefox2.0 is good enough for me for now , but if i want a dedicated news provider on a daily basis , rojo seems to stand out


5)online readers go ajax

from wiki:
Ajax, or AJAX, is a web development technique used for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user requests a change. This is intended to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, functionality, and usability.

Alesti.org
Bloxor.com
Gritwire.com

will learn more about this before sharing but these are the 3 sites mentioned so yea

6)get your news everywhere

Newsgator.com
for your Mobile devices , on the go

7)serious software

ie7 beta 2 vs firefox(with sage) vs opera
Go google for more info

But , firefox firefox firefox =D
but the focus here is more on downloadable clients

sharpreader.net
awasu.com

more for those who eat sleep think news , less for the mainstream audience , so i won't comment much

8)news as mail

Gator inbox 2.6 and omea reader is recommended here.

Summary of everything : these will continue to develop , best approach to cut time in reading news = a combination of the above.
