A9 update

The A9 update is annoying. It takes the whole screen and can't switch to
this other application, until I kill firefox.

Anti-virus wiped out my inbox.

Today, a virus was caught in my inbox and symantec deleted my
thunderbird INBOX. Is there a way I can recover my inbox? Or, how to
prevent it happen again?

MSN Virtual Earth

MSN Virtual Earth

Finally, MSN has a map system which is competitive to Google enough. The roadmap zooming is very interesting. However, the MSN satellite maps are black white and too old. I can see my house in google maps, but only trees in MSN. Also, the aerial label is little off.

Goggle maps

Very impressed google maps. Beyond satellite maps, hybrid maps, showing street on the satellite maps, are available. They really make others no competition.

Yahoo photo mail again

Yesterday, I was able to install yahoo photo mail on windows 2000. But, today I couldn't install it to xp at all. I tried to save the file and only 70K. Most like the installation file couldn't be downloaded completely.

So today, I still sent out photos in the attachment. I had 4 photos and took a while to upload them. Photo mail should be able provide a better interface, so normal users can understand. We need to wait.

Yahoo Photo mail

Just tried Yahoo photo mail. I don't have any particular point for the
mail composer, but I really don't like the character verification.
I don't really get the point why yahoo need character verification. If
Yahoo has done the right authentication, why bother need to have
character verification. By the way, some of characters are hard to read.
Just feel it's inconvenient.

From the features, looks more than painter.
Does it do something like GIMP?

If open source can coordinate, that's win-win situation.

Surfin' Safari

Surfin' Safari I heard all the good thing in safari. Obviously, Safari make a lot of improvement recently. But, sometimes, I really doubt it. Does it works like charm?

Yesterday, I just suffered a js String.replace() problem in safari, which had no problem for IE and Firefox. By the way, does execCommand() really work?

Deer tragedy

On my way to work, 20 miles, 6 deers laid on the highway. Some of them
were there few days.
We have such great outdoors environment in here and we enjoy the
convenience of express way. Unfortunately, not good for wildlife.

In my community, the mother deer just has a little deer this year. I
hope those two one-year deers with this mother deer prior year don't
make any journey to human road.

Range

In Firefox, what's the IE equivelence of range.select()?
