what happened on September 1752???

2007-07-15T08:06:00.000+08:00

If you are working in Unix, try this up …

At $ prompt, type: cal 9 1752 or cal 1752

Surprised ?!

or try to see the calender for September 1752 in any OS, or even in any calender software.

OR, search in Google by type in September 1752. You’ll be amazed to see what is unusual in that year of history …This is what it looks like …

See the explanation for what you see.

Isn’t the output queer?

A month with whole of eleven days missing.

This was the time England shifted from Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, and the king of England ordered those 11 days to be wiped off the face of the month of September of 1752. (What couldn’t a King do in those days?!) And yes, the workers worked for 11 days less, but got paid for the entire 30 days. And that’s how “Paid Leave” was born..

hahaha..(not true)

big hole on earth made by hand..

2007-06-24T11:16:00.000+08:00

The Big Hole is a huge open-pit mine in Kimberley, South Africa and claimed to be the largest hole excavated by hand.

From 1866 to 1914 50 000 miners dug the hole with picks and shovels, yielding 2 722 kg of diamonds. The Big Hole has a surface of 17 hectares and is 463 metres wide. It was excavated to a depth of 240 m but then partially infilled with debris reducing its depth to about 215 m; since then it has accumulated water to a depth of 40 m leaving 175 m visible. The underground Kimberly Mine was mined to a depth of 1097 metres. There is currently an effort in progress to register the Big Hole as a World Heritage Site..

life in a video game...

2007-06-17T09:57:00.000+08:00

Hey. what a cool avatar. yea..first you have to pick an avatar..don't worry, the avatar are the best looking in the storyand never worry about being ugly again. Ladies, gravity resistant boobs are also available without the worries of them getting in your way while fighting. You can even use the character maker screen to change your looks, if you would rather look like an orc in order to scare the bajesus out of your friends.

okay, you woke up in the morning.

What would you look forward to doing first? Would you drive down the I-90 in your Pontiac Sunfire at 100mph with no regard for traffic laws or your own life, or would you travel cross country killing monsters and rescuing damsels in distress in order to get laid?

Oh the possibilities would be endless, but what about the bad points of living in a video game world? Imagine getting stuck in a rock for an hour because of a glitch in the matrix or being forced to kill a monster every friggn' five minutes just to get to McDonalds for a Big Mac.

Free stuff available everywhere. Food, weapons, clothes, gold and everything else you need to get through life will be available for free in barrels, on the ground, and in people's homes. Best of all, no one will accuse you of stealing. Sure, they will be stores to buy other goods in but kill enough enemies or latte drinking business men and the gold will be yours in no time. Better than working at McDonalds for it.

monster and bad guy. yeah.. don't have time to pee, bathing and having sex with your hot sidekick. The most time you were shooting and fighting monster.

what an annoying quest giver!! this NPC was doing nothing, rather than sitting around waiting for something to happen.

Dangerous Terrain. If you stay within the borders of your city, then you’ll be fine but leave the city and you’ll be faced with dark and scary forests, lava pits, caves, dungeons and icy mountain ranges. Better pack a survival kit because these places don’t have a Holiday Inn.

New discovery:super earth.

2007-06-01T01:28:00.001+08:00

Did you know? that planet in the universe are given class depend on its habitability(actually it is not, maybe I played galactic civilization too much) but it started to make sense after I read this news..

A group of european astronauts discovered a class 12 planet(earth was 10 classed planet)which them called super earth. With the capability to support life, there is big possibility that the planet are alien homestead. with the distance of 20 light years away, can we exploit the secret of this planet?

This planet reside outer of our solar system which mean it is belong to another solar system, the Gliese star. Gliese 581, has already been identified as hosting a planet similar in size to Neptune, the frigid gas giant on the edge of our own Solar System.The new planet is 14 times closer to Gliese 581 than the Earth is to the Sun. But because Gliese 581 is so cool, the planet is not scorched by solar radiation.

black atmosphere. due to different amount of gases. The best ever approach to discover alien existence in universe.

hell..it's about time...

2007-05-22T22:30:00.001+08:00

hell..it's about time.. the longest awaited series and the best ever real time strategy game back in 1997..from the first series of the original starcraft, the game alone has change the world view of strategy game generally..since that, the development of real time strategy game has increase dramatically..

the making of marine, the basic unit of Terran alliance..

but, there are some flaw in the early development for starcraft 2.. especially for Zerg fan..the unbalance between three race were debate imprudent..and undeniably a roll back in early development process..

zerg=cheap+weak
protoss=expensive+powerful
terran= balance but too many add on.

now, blizzard still working on, fixing and balancing the game..we hope this game will be balanced as it can be for each race...

cloaking suit..

2007-05-15T02:56:00.000+08:00

If you're a fan of fantasy or science fiction movie, then you're quite familiar with the concept of an invisibility cloak. Such in Harry Porter movie. hmm..sound impossible in the real world. but with modern technology, anything can happen.

With optical-camouflage technology developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo, the invisibility cloak is already a reality. now, the technology is being develop for military application in US.

Similar with chameleon camouflage..

This is not adobe photoshop guys. a little light blending make the effect more protrude.

see the different...soo cool. The suit are made from some sort of fabric to make the Predator effect(I'm a big fan or alien versus predator game and the movie as well, and predator wear invisible cloaking suit)

death. can people get away??

2007-05-14T21:07:00.002+08:00

Have you heard NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE(NDE)...it's an experience of a died people reviving from it.. is this really happen? Yes, From statistic, there is about 8 million American experienced NDE.

NDE is usually includes physiological, psychological and transcendental aspect. Here are NDE characteristics:

A sense of being dead.
An out-of-body experience. A sensation of floating above one's body and seeing the surrounding area.
Pleasant feelings, calmness. A sense of overwhelming love and peace.
A sensation of moving upwards through a tunnel or narrow passageway.
Meeting deceased relatives or spiritual figures.
Encountering a being of light, or a light (possibly a religious or divine figure).
Being given a life review.
Reaching a border or boundary.
A feeling of being returned to the body, often accompanied by a reluctance.

Usually, NDE personnel will encounter temporary heart attack and regain their heart beat after a while. there was a story where in 14 century, in China, NDE was widely occur even after the person has been buried. So, they tied a string to the person feet and connect it to a bell outside their burial ground hopefully it can tell people that the person is still alive...

The infamous grim reaper..

7 century painting by Hieronymus Bosch. Picturing the
NDE. See, the subject walk through passage. One of the
NDE characteristic....sssccary~~

mars..here we come..

2007-05-14T08:44:00.002+08:00

thousand of research has been done on earth. The biggest discovery I think is the ability to space travel. Travel to moon..and MARS, our nearest neighbor.

The surface of the Red Planet is 70% basalt. And a composition of 95.72% Carbon dioxide.
There's a theory, in the future, human will be able to inhabit on Mars. who knows?..well..technology are getting more advance. After million years human are trap on earth, finally we succeeded colonizing our race in the outer space of earth..hmm..maybe I watch Star wars and play galactic civilizations to much. But, who knows?

The northpole of mars. Water and Ice??? Seems like there's a possibility to live on Mars. what we need is an oxygen..

bizzare math..

2007-05-14T08:25:00.000+08:00

yes, We love math..got idea how to calculate that??..lol!!
