财智记帐本比较小巧好用，用了好久，这才发现财智理财本身已经到版本6了

按照6的说明是无法直接导入记帐本的数据的，需要一次安装5、4、2001等版本逐一升级。

搜索到的官方客服方法则是：
直接使用安装财智6后、电脑桌面上有“账簿升级工具”升级。
1、升级时，需要财智5和财智6程序存在。 财智5下载地址：
    http://www.moneywise.com.cn/Service/relatedownload.aspx   
    只需安装财智5，不需打开或注册它。
2、把记账本的数据文件扩展名mb1，重命名该文件，修改其扩展名为mh4，然后再升级。

Matlab越来越大了，虽然Toolbox变大是好事。。。-_-
而且不太想在有替代品的情况下使用d版，就找了一下。。。。
其实这里总结的蛮好的，呵呵

总体上传统的GNU Octave是Matlab兼容的，但是我装了一下觉得比较大，而且安装感觉不是很整洁舒服，SciLab据说不错但是没有试。。。
倒是发现日本人写了个很专业的文章比较Octave、FreeMat和SciLab。。。

我用了一下FreeMat，一下子就喜欢上了，图标漂亮、界面干净、安装整洁、文档清晰
而且和Matlab高度兼容，完全是我期望中的软件 呵呵

It look so nice, that at last I decided to bought one for Vivi, though we planed to wait for a period of time at the very beginning, to see how is it....:)

For this moment we know:
1. It's just as perfect as previous Kindles...clear/sharp E-Ink screen even reading under sunshine...
2. As my kindle was registered in Europe, books on Amazon are 2$ higher than US price
   So, Amazon free books cost 2$ for Kindle inter, I think it's reasonable for 3G roaming...
3. If set kindle location back to China, it will promoted than you can't buy books online :(
4. Wikipedia works outside US, but other web sites not.
4. It's international, bu NOT multi-language...(Unicode hack still needed)
5. As a update of its firmware (v2.2.x), old patches won't work any more, there seems a
   signature checking on updates... so still under discussing how-to....
      (Mobiread forum post1  post2)
   Now hacking Kindle international becomes possible, here my new post

Kindle patches (3rd-party updates) sites:
Unicode Font (Display Chinese/Japanese/...)     (International version)
Savory (Convert PDF on Kindle, so useless for Kindle DX)  (International version)
Screensaver Hack (to use your family photos as screensaver) or here   (International version)



Hidden Functions of Kindle2 International (Easter Eggs)
1. Hidden picture viewer (manga & comic!:)
    create “pictures” folder under Kindle disk
    Copy pictures in a subfolders, name of which is the manga/comic book name
    Back to kindle home screen, press 'Alt+Z' 
    "pictures" folder will be checked, then the manga/comic book apeared!
2. Minesweeper:  "Alt+Shift+M" in the home screen
    GoBang(WuZiQi): "G"
3. Screenshots: "ALt+Shift+G"
4. Hidden settings, in settings screen type:
     411 – shows diagnostic data
     611 – shows current radio diagnostics data and keeps refreshing it
     311 - manually switch wireless networks

While playing with MCU/MPU boards, rather than check device manager everytime, we need a easier method to get known which serial ports are currently exist/available...yes, especially when we worked with a USB serial cable/converter, as their port number always changed from time to time :(

This can be done with a simple command:
   reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM

And, if you want do this with just one mouse click, you can just make text file with content:
  reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM
  pause
Save it, and rename it as a '.bat' file, such as 'SerialCheck.bat'.
Then, every time when you click on it, a cmd window will give you the information as following:

最近发现自己机器的Firefox越来越慢，经常在后台占一大堆内存不动弹
网上抱怨的人也不少，内存泄漏似乎是firefox用户持久的噩梦。。。

不过，各式各样的花哨插件其实是firefox内存泄漏的一大根源，
可以参见这样一个列表：

呵呵 知名的Skype extension、Yahoo toolbar都在列哦

当然，我喜欢使用的"IE tab"也赫然在列，建议的解决方式是换用"IE View Lite"插件...
