Wii Sensor Bar? Wii Sensor Candle!!
UTF8, Big5 Perl programming is hell!
SMSed by mateTM, PUMBME I developed does not work anymore as PUMB has currently changed their encoding to UTF8.
Spend almost an hour on it, simple UTF8>Big5 works fine, but when Chars that are not in Big5 mapping will mess up the page. (In the case, someone made a post with Simplified Chinese chars)
I think by now I will just leave it for the time, I really don’t have the time and power to work thur it once again…..
Anyway, IMHO the creation of Simplified Chinese is one of the most uncivilized, dumb, crazy idea in human languages history. (I wonder who the F think of it in the first place, he/she shall burnt in hell forever for this horrible thing he/she introduced).
Launching Kinoma 4EX by 3rd paty program
Broswing online and found that Kinoma released info () for 3rd party programmer to launch their Kinoma Player 4EX and Playback target URL.
Too bad WMV playback on Kinoma 4EX is still so buggy, and bandwidth is still very limit on GPRS connections….or it should be really fun to play around….

Treo750v SmarTone Vodafone Offer
Click to enlarge
Just received a newsletter from event@palm-edm.com about “Introducing Palm Treo 750v from Vodafone”, Treo750v is now selling unlock at HK SmarTone Vodafone at HK$5980.
Actually unlock Treo750 was selling on street for the same price for almost few weeks already (with gift packs like SD card, headset etc), so what makes this $5980 offer so “special”?
And a so call HK$1300 special rebate is even more of a joke, user must subscribe 15 month to either one of the following service:
$128 or above SmarTone iN! on 3G price plan + $198 or above Vodafone Business Email plan / $188 or above 3G data plan
OR
$198 or above Vodafone Business Email plan + $188 or above 3G data plan
So lets do the lowest count, HK$128 (Base Fee) + HK$10 (Admin fee) + HK$188 (3G data) * 15 month = HK$4890, then you get 1200 mins airtime, 100MB of data a month, and the so call HK$1300 rebate….
Yeah, what a great deal, for SmarTone Vodafone right?
🙂
Oh yes, it must be a careless typo mistake, click on the enlarge image, you see the Special Price: $5,680.00^ tag, where ^ means the HK$1300 rebate, shouldn’t it means by HK$4680? (Well still….that offer, come on!)

Mario – GameBoy emulator for PalmOS Discontinue.
I did a post back on July about another Gameboy emulator project on PalmOS.
Just by chance I visit their site on sourceforge page today, and sadly found that the project has been discontinue short after my post (1 week after), the only developing device (TT2) of the developer carloshasan was stolen and he lost the main developing device and lots of personal data.
Is so sad to see a project gone for such a reason….

DIY Wii Sensor Bar!!
A Clever maker Brian “DoctaBu” Moore has discover that the mystery Wii Sensor Bar was actually nothing more than a simply device sending IR signal to the Wiimote by appox 10 IR LEDs, no actual signal or data is send to the Wii console itself, so he made a home made wireless version of the sensor bar with only 4 LEDs and powerd them by 4 AA batteries!
Great work there!! I think it would be cool to DIY one if I get a Wii too!!!!

Laughs Off? should they?
Ok, I am not trying to be mean or smart, but first thing I saw the news over PalmInfocenter, I felt very uncomfortable.
Quote from MercuryNews:
We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” he said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.”…..
The word of: “We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone…” sounds very bad in my own opinion, isn’t it their responsibility and job to learn what he thinks they did well and it took them to struggled a few years?
As a long fans of PalmOS, how “smart” then did Palm went in the pass few years? How many market share/maunfactuer/supporter were left? (I do agree the word “struggled” used in the speech tho.)
In an old Chinese slang, there is a say: It does not matter who started to learn first, who learn faster and better become the leader/teacher/master.”
I instantly thinks of the story about “The race of Turtles and the Rabbit”…
Just my 2 cents…
