PHP Editors
We’ve had a bunch of build problems with “Qiming Ventures”:http://qimingventures.com, so back to looking at PHP and MovableType scripts. Here are some resources: * “PHP Editors”:http://www.php-editors.com/. If you can believe it there is an entire website devoted just to PHP editing. They even include a “reviews”:http://www.php-editors.com/review/?PHPSESSID=bf704693acaebde588a17ab47e89cc2c section where the best freeware editor is “PHP Designer”:http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php…

It is mainly post-modern stuff and really interesting. The artists live in their galleries, you can see the little day beds and things everywhere. It…

Green T. House
“Green T. House”:http://travel2.nytimes.com/top/features/travel/destinations/asia/china/beijing/restaurant_details.html?vid=1124996111864 is amazingly confusing to find because, for one thing, its chinese name (??? zi3 yun2 xuan1 or purple cloud pavillion) has nothing to do with its English name. It is a violet flower in Chinese. Also, it is on the side of a gigantic mall area call 100 Gongti Xi Lu where…

Angel Club
We didn’t actually go there, but Phil told us the “Angel Club”:http://www.clubzone.com/c/Beijing/Nightclub/ANGEL_CLUB.html is one of the hotest restaurants in Beijing. Its actually right next to an enormous bowling alley and a bunch of other clubs. Its part of a group of clubs owned by “http://www.tangclub-bj.com/”:http://www.tangclub-bj.com/ No. 6 Gongti Xi Lu,ChaoYang District(South to Gongti 100 Bowing…

Hilton Beijing
“The Hilton Beijing”:http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=BJSHITW When Natalie booked us, we were a little worried about what this hotel would be like. We’ve stayed at the Grand Hyatt Beijing (amazing but incredibly expensive) and the Kerry Center Hotel (functional, but not pretty). The Hilton Beijing is much closer than both of these hotels to Qinghua and Beijing University…

Apple Macbook Pro
With Apple shipping Macbook Pro’s with the “Core Duo”:http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=2740 processor, they are really super viable notebooks. In reading Anandtech, the really big thing to give up is that they only have 2.5 hours of battery life. I’m spoiled by the slower, but very long lived Sony VAIO VGN-TX750B that I’ve been using (actually, I’ve had…

mp3tag
Now that Musicmatch has really broken on my machines (Yahoo bought it and it isn’t supported much anymore), I really need to find a good tagger. Musicmatch is still my favorite because it has very easy Album finding and also it lets you rename files from tags automatically and put in tags based on filenames.…

CDBurnerXP Pro
Nero 6.6 leaves all kinds of video directshow filters that really screw up my machine, so back to finding a simple program that just does burning, like the old Nero 5.5 but is free. I can’t use Nero 5.5 because it doesn’t recognize my newer Benq 1640, but does find our old Ricoh 5125 “CDBurnerXP…

Sony Vegas 6.0 Playback problems
I’ve had this problem just about forever, many times I will get a can’t playback anything message and I have always thought it was something to do with the video codecs. I logged onto the Sony Vegas editing forums and found this issue from way back in 2003. It says that the problem isn’t with…

NTP Server IP Address
DD-WRT needs an actually IP address rather than using the NTP pool servers. YOu need this to keep the time accurate on your router. I pikced theUCSD time server arbitrarily at 132.239.254.49

DD-WRT OpenVPN
I need to VPN back to home, it looks like with the DD-WRT firmware load on a Linksys WRT-54GL, this is quite doable. Here are the steps: * “Install DD-WRT”:http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Index:Install. This is open source firmware for the popular Linksys WRT-54GL router. These routers have 4MB of nvRAM and can run a nice version of Linux.…

Nikon D80 vs. Canon REbel XTi
Nikon is now way more competitive, while they had trouble with the 8MP Rebel XT vs. the 6MP D70, now both Nikon and Canon sport 10MP sensors. While Canon makes its own sensor, Sony supplies the 10MP sensor for the Nikon D80, the Sony Alpha 100 and the Pentax K10D. Net, net, there’s never been…

We down loaded the demo and it is so cute to see all those legos in the Star Wars world, plus there are puzzles everywhere and by definition it isn’t gory, the legos just break up đ…
