Happy birthday for someone I haven't seen for 10 years.....

Since my developing on the other side (Project Movian) and the life with Twiter, I find that I almost did 0 post to my weblog (did more then 1k twit there)....

Thinks I should do myself a Twitter<>Weblog bot...

咁你可以點? 仲有咩選擇?


你都會喇。


其實咩野時候節日燈飾都帶幾分沉重架lb]喇。。


水吹得太多，更冰凍，更空虛。


你自己拎黎去怪人?


痛同 Happy 一線之差遮。


有無諗過其實佢地倆個都好委曲?


賭仔心態。。每一個賭仔都係咁諗，有幾個發達?


唔會囉，到時你就會發現你已經唔再愛佢。。。

I am just showing I am still alive, during these few months I spend most of my time developing for work and movian, so didn't get any updates here.....

Once again, hi friends, I am still alive, surprise isn't it?

Customer X:
Record breaking, at least 40 phone calls in 24 hours, this customer keeps on calling for NOTHING, she haven't even register our service yet, question 1 at a time, repeat and repeat all the time, she was already told it will take "up to" 1 working day to process her order at the first 3 calls, but keep on calling to question why it has not been process yet for at least 4 times.

Customer X+1:
Good logic, better then I do, this customer was calling in query about our "referral program", he has 2 accounts, A refer B and get the 10% referral bonus, and now he wants to add the referral back to A, so he get EXTRA referral bonus (A 10% and B 10% and so on), I tried my best to explain him the policy and it simply does not make sense for this "looping" referral idea, while he called at least 4 times with different lame excuses to see are there any staff that would miss and give him the free ride.

Customer X+2:
As I posted very earlier, if you do not know something, be nice and learn, this customer call in, claims that she is new to the company and do not have any computer knowledge, she wants the domain control but she do not have any information on hand that match the register information (excuses: She is new and do not know who did the register), once I denied on the request without a Biz Register copy, she starts b*tching and wants to file a complain, oh yeah? what does she expect me to do? hand a domain control over to someone who cannot even match 1 single register info out of 10?

Lack of knowledge is not a sin, living without a brain that could think and learn is......

May them thrown and burn forever in the eternal fire lake..

It has been 39 hours since I last woke up from the bed, I think I am going to have a good dream tonight.....

Sweet dream everyone.

As of my target is my Fujitsu U2010, a few points has to be taken care of:
1/. Limited RAM (1GB only)
2/. I changed my 1.8 inch slow slow HDD to a Sandisk 8GB Extreme IV CF, so 8GB is the limit, Windows 7 Ultimate Build 6801 needs 10GB by default.

After a bit of searching, found that vLite does works with the ISO, so I removed some unneeded support, services and applications for U2010, and keep installation below 7.8GB.

00:00 Start booting with DVDROM
00:01 Windows7 Loading bar loading......
00:01 7~8 bars of loading, now in Windows7 installation loading screen.
00:03 Installation Language selection screen (My selection English, HKSAR and Chinese US Keyboard.)
00:04 Starts installation
00:05 Finish File copying, expanding starts
00:08 Expanding in progress (50%)
00:11 Finish Expanding, starts Installing feature.
00:11 Finish Installing feature., starts Installing updates
00:11 Finish Installing updates, Reboot.
00:12 Rebooting, Starting Windows
00:13 Setup is starting services and installing.
00:27 Display flashes, suggesting Windows is installing Display related settings, DVDROM starts reading again.
00:28 Installation complete
00:28 Reboot.
00:29 GFX is messed up in first boot, screen shows Setup is checking video performance.
00:30 Setup user account.
00:31 Setup is done.

Post-OS installation:
- First, as GFX is messed up, install display drivers first, my choice is GMA500 Vista 2.2 releases from Intel, the installer do not allow installation as it detects Windows7 as unknow OS, go device manager, select Standard VGA drivers and go update, and point to the unzipped DIR and let it search thur.
- Reboot after the Video drivers installation.
- After reboot, GFX looks good.
- Installing drivers from Fujitsu.
- Install ALPSStickPoint, Reboot.
- Install ButtonDriver, ButtonUtility, SystemExtensionUtility, DisplayManager, HotkeyUtility, Fingerprint.
- Just in case, go Device manager, see are there any unknown device, if so, point it to the Fujitsu Drivers DIR and let it scan thur, at the point you should have NO unknown device, Reboot.
- I turned off some more un-needed services, will have to go thur it later.
- I also kill ALL HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, system still works good without them.

DONE DONE...

Filesize:
With powercfg /hibernate off, pagefile turned off, I get a very good size of about 3.xGB consumed.

RAM:
After all drivers installed, tweak on unneeded services, start-ups, Windows 7 on my U2010 consume about 480MB RAM after boot, not as good as XP (350MB), but WAY better than the default Vista by Fujitsu (which consume 890MB RAM of 1GB when I received the device factory fresh)

Boot-time:
With all those tweak, 40secs Post BIOS to Windows Login screen, not that bad, close to my XP setup (35secs), and way better than with vLite Vista HOME setup (6x secs).

Overall performance:
It works good, it works very smooth compare to Vista Home, the new PenTip on Windows 7 works great, overall most app I tried works smooth (didn't have time to install much yet, Firefox works greats)

As of this is a very early Pre-beta, I do thinks there should be way more time and room for Microsoft to improve Windows 7 before mid-2009, I am quite looking forward from Microsoft this time, (Vista was a HUGE joke......WinME was only a small one)..

No photo, no truth!

It does run smooth on the U2010, with all drivers installed, quite a little bit vLite (yes, vLite works on the ISO) and some (quite some) unused services turned off, it will consume 490MB RAM after boot (Compare to 350 on XP).

Boot time is about 10 seconds from Power on to BIOS (this is how Fujitsu BIOS is, it is SLOW!!!), another 40 seconds to boot to Windows7 Login screen.

Using all Vista Drivers from Fujitsu, I got all function working (That was a hard job on XP), the overall user experience was GREAT compare to Vista, still it is not as good as XP due to limited RAM on U2010 (1GB) and Theme on Windows7.

Thanks to great user Rafael, A little bit tweak to get the "SuperBar" and "Aero Shake" to work, as it was disabled on the build, it is good to use with U2010, the Aero shake works great with the touch screen.

Thinks Microsoft did spend some time on their work this time, my feeling of this pre-beta Windows 7 is like Windows ME over Windows 2000, well, hopefully it gets better over the time.
