This is a surprise when my old hotmail account showing 2000MB.
I'm a GMAIL user because of its clean and simple interface. I don't like hotmail and yahoo because their ads are bigger than the email and loading very slowly.
I guess Microsoft is trying to gain back the market share. For me, forget about it. I won't switch back to hotmail, just like I won't use IE.
One of the game that get me sticked for quite some time is Prince of Persia. The combination of 256-color graphics and sound cards support make it stand out of the crowd at the time when it was published.
The game story line is simple. Our mission is break into the Persian castle, find our way to the 12th level, kill villains in the way and to rescue the princess.
The fun part of Prince of Persia are various types of traps that we need to jump over or avoid them. Some traps need some training before we can successfully overcome them.
We will meet villains during the game. Our weapon is a sword that we pick up on the first level. Different with other games, the fight in Prince of Person require precision skill rather than mere firepower. There are no weapon upgrades, but do have potion to increase our life scale.
You can get your copy of Prince of Persia here. It also require DOSBox to run. Since this game require password after the first level, you need to run the game with "PRINCE MEGAHIT" and press "Shift-L" when you see the password screen.
This is a Latin phrase meaning "and the rest, and so forth".
Unfortunately, many people do not know how to pronounce it, and normally "E... T... C...".
This is the way...

You can use the netsh command to script the process of changing a computer from a static Internet Protocol (IP) address to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or vice versa. The netsh command accomplishes this task without the need to restart the computer. This feature is particularly useful for laptops that move from one environment to another, when it is necessary to use statically assigned IP addresses at one location and DHCP assigned IP addresses at another.
To switch the specified adapter from a static address to DHCP, type the following command:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" dhcp
NOTE: Typing this command changes the interface named "Local Area Connection" to DHCP.
To display all of the adapters in the computer with their current IP addresses to determine the correct adapter name, type the following command:
netsh interface ip show config
To change to a static address, type the following command:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static ipaddr subnetmask gateway metric
NOTE: Replace ipaddr with the static IP address, subnetmask with the subnet mask, gateway with the default gateway and, if necessary, metric with the appropriate metric. The following example changes the interface "Local Area Connection" to a static address of 192.168.0.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and the interface has a default gateway of 192.168.0.1 with a metric of 1:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1
You can create a batch file to simplify your changing:
To use static IP Address:
@ECHO OFF
CLS
ECHO.
ECHO CLI IP Configuration
ECHO ====================
ECHO.
ECHO IP Address:
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%? IN ('LABEL C: 2^>NUL') DO SET IP=%%?
ECHO.
ECHO Subnet Mask:
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%? IN ('LABEL C: 2^>NUL') DO SET MASK=%%?
ECHO.
ECHO Default Gateway:
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%? IN ('LABEL C: 2^>NUL') DO SET GW=%%?
ECHO.
ECHO Configuring IP Address...
@netsh interface ip set address name="eth0" static %IP% %MASK% %GW% 1
ECHO.
ECHO DNS: (if you do not have DNS, just type 127.0.0.1)
FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %%? IN ('LABEL C: 2^>NUL') DO SET DNS=%%?
ECHO.
ECHO Configuring DNS...
@netsh interface ip set dns "eth0" static %DNS% primary
@pause
@ipconfig /all
To use DHCP:
@netsh interface ip set address name="eth0" dhcp
@netsh interface ip set dns name="eth0" source=dhcp
I don’t know how to start this… but it has been bringing a new level of friendship between us.
Last Monday morning, July 3, her name came into my mind out-of-sudden, and I decided to contact her and hoping the number is still valid. I sent her a message, and she replied with a surprise that how I knew her Chinese name. Actually, her name stated in my report, when I was attended a break-fix call for her Dell laptop. I don’t know whether she will think this is an evil action that I kept her name in full. Anyway, a true friendship will not count on this, I believe.
I haven’t seen her since that, it’s probably 3 years. She is a very quiet and innocent girl. She got a very strong sense of Christianity. The very last time I met her, thinking of taking her out for lunch, and unfortunately she was on fasting. Ever since that, I’ve been transferred back to KL, and too busy to visit JB again. It’s quite sad.
I’m hoping for a reunion. It will be a great and wonderful feeling to see someone for the first time in years and have so much to share not to mention all the memories that resurface. It's such a wonderful thing you can imagine!
