PGP moving to stronger SHA Algorithm

Some geeks at Shandong University in China introduce a method in breaking SHA faster than Brute-Force. That's why PGP should take the action:
PGP moving to stronger SHA Algorithm

Well, my colleagues use PGP for signing internal documents.

However
Someone told me, encryption algorithms are invented for breaking.
everyone should know it now - the manager, the director.
So pls dont cut budget on Info. security.....or simply no budget XD

Finding Neverland

Johnny has new movie showing @hk rite now

This time he has nice co-actor/actress: Dustin Hoffman & Kate Winslet.
Actually I'm not interested in the story nor the movie itself.
I'm just addicted to Depp's performance! XD

Finding Neverland Official Site

After seeing the trailer, I guess, he would bring us a specticular character again, just like Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Lunar New Year is coming

Chinese Lunar New Year is on Feb 9 this year.
I'll have 3 holidays ONLY, as I need to work this Saturday. Oh dear my old dad, how pity I'm.
I'm surprised that my boss offer me a year-end bonus, which I didn't expect.

In my plan, I'll stay at home except a praying session (to Che Gong) & football gathering with my ex-undergraduate peers. Most of the time I will be playing computer games or watching movies & cartoons.

Hope that won't bore me much.

Duration of my PPC battery

Today I've turned on my Axim and played MP3 during the journey to my office.
When I reached the office, my little Axim remained 38% electricity.
What the hell! Overall playing time is just ~1hr, costing 62% battery....although it is just a 950mAh one. The large battery offer 1800mAh electricity, but my leather case cannot hold it. So....I think I'll order an extra battery (slim one) later.

I've already used a program to shut down the screen (ScreenOff). My old Clie Sj33 seems more battery-friendly.

I look forward to the age of fuel battery ^ ^

∀Gundam

I suggest all UC Gundam fans to see ∀Gundam!

∀Gundam is known to be failure. When it was published, similar to the majority of Gundam fans, I refused this picture as Gundam. As you know, ugly machinery design (esp the ∀Gundam's face...) is the most disgusting. Furthermore, absent of universe-scale war and lack of beautiful MS battles are another reason for its failure. Business is business. As a commercial product, obviously it won't survive in the our world with those features.

When I was reading the story, first time in 1999, I saw boredom. Comparing Turn A Gundam to other Gundam's stories, like Gundam Seed & Gundam 0079, it seems not that amusing. So, I put it away from my memory. I've heard of many comments about Turn A for years. I found that feedbacks of Turn A from hardcore Gundam fans were not as worse as I expected. However, the majority still regard Turn A as nightmare, someone claims it degrading the reputation of Gundam.

As of the year 2005, I started my journey to Turn A world, for no reason.

First impression is not that worse :)
At the beginning, everything is wonderful. Their lifestyle is nice. Life is simple, people are friendly and helpful. No war, no competition. Since the war began, everything got worse. It told us how war could destroy our homes, our planet. The main theme is still anti-war. It's done a good job on focusing the aim, I think.
Actually, I like the characters most: Loran Cehack, Dianna Soreil, Harry Ord, Kihel Heim & Sochie Heim. They acted well. They can shown their characteristics clearly. To me, most Gundam's pilots are just war machines. Loran is different, he always wanna stop the war, not just saying so and keep killing others. ( I won't care if Kira Yamato will die in the next episode of Gundam Seed Destiny :P)

I like their interpretation of "ragnarok" (end of world), and its illustration (the moonlight of butterfly). If our world really need an end, Turn A could do us a favor.

The music of ∀Gundam is wonderful. While I was seeing final episode, the music really touched me deeply. The background music really impressed me much. The ending song "Moon" is particularly matching with the theme of last episode - Golden Autumn.

Turn A Gundam has completed the "black history" among different Gundams, and bring all of theme back to the origin. It might be a little bit unreasonable, but I do accept. It is just similar to the Recycling of Universe, which I believe in.
