Vampires a Mathematical Impossibility, Scientist Says
Well, although that might be true but shouldn't we leave some space for our life to be less realistic so that we can still have some fun? :-D A "research" which matches the oncoming Halloween, though...
By the way, I don't really believe in vampires. I believe more in spirits and ghosts :-P

Setting up Windows XP SP2 as a WEBDAV client
[ This is just a personal note for myself, but of course I hope it can be useful for the others, too :D ]
On setting up Windows XP SP2 as a WEBDAV client, I referred to this webpage. However, it didn't let me upload files to the server, without asking me for any username and password. I checked further in the Internet and found the reason and solution. It seems that Windows XP SP2 turned the necessary BasicAuth parameter off. To enable it, you should add the following key to the registry with regedit and set its value to non-zero.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\UseBasicAuth (DWORD)
I am not sure about other environments, but on my machine, this alone didn't help much. The response of the client was painfully slow. I don't remember where I read about this, but if you add a tailing "~" to the address of the WEBDAV folder that you are accessing, some black magic is done in the background and your problem goes away.
For example, instead of saying "http://www.mydomain.com/", you should say "http://www.mydomain.com/~".
The above solution solved the authentication problem partially. It still doesn't allow me to drag-and-drop files into the WEBDAV folder directly. And here is a trick to do that. Right after you open the WEBDAV folder, right click on the empty space inside the folder, and choose "Create new folder", then it will (hopefully) ask you for your username and password. Enter your username and password here, and check the box to remember it so that you don't have to do this again the next time.
And this is how I have done it and I hope it helps you, too.

Firefox 2 がリリース
なぜか日本語でブログを書いてみようと思ったので今回は日本語で．
先週あたりに Internet Explorer 7.0 がついにリリースされた．個人的には試してみたかったけど，友人にしばらく様子をみた方がいいって言われた．（＾ ＾）まあ，私はいつも Firefox を使っているから試しに IE 7.0 を入れてもいいかなと思いつつ，未だに入れてません．
その内に，何と Firefox 2.0 がリリースされた（＾ ＾）！！！Mozilla のホームページが更新される前に FTP サーバーからダウンロードしてインストールした．2日間使っていたが特に何も問題はありません．色々なところで改善されているらしいけど，私は地味に基本機能しか使ってないのでよく感じないが．．．

It is about art!
Hi, sorry for not updating the blog for a long long time. Have been back to Malaysia for two weeks plus, busy with work for another week (- -!)
So here is the recent update, I went to 万博公園(Bampaku Park) today to join an activity in which you use natural materials to make something out of them. Although I didn't make it to create something extremely nice, I really enjoyed the process. And below are two of my masterpiece :P Actually, there is another one but I gave that to a friend as her birthday present. And would like to say Happy Birthday for her once again. Best Wishes :)
