MSNのアンインストールには気をつけて！Be careful of when you uninstall MSN…

今日の日曜日は、後半、MSNのおかげで、つまらない時間をたくさん使ってしまった。昨日の夜寝る前に、もうMSNのDialupはつかわないからと、アンインストールをしました。それが、MSNがよけいなことをして、Internet　Sharingをストップしてしまったのです。多分今まで、5，6時間は使ったかな？結果は、MSNを入れなおして、MSNで、Internet Sharing をONにして、また、そこから、Basic ISPのInternet Sharing をONにしなおすと。これでようやく動くことをとうとう発見！それまで、いろいろいろんなことを試しました。結局MSNはいらないんだけど、もうアンインストールするのは、あきらめました。これって、やっぱり、Microsoftの陰謀？！

Today (Sunday), Half a day, I needed to spend a lot of time for stupid MSN software. Last night, I uninstalled MSN since I started using a new Basic ISP. MSN uninstaller stopped Internet Connection Sharing! I have spent 5, 6 hours to fix this. Finally, I found a way that I re-installed MSN and maｄe Internet Connection Sharing on with MSN and then turned of Internet Connection Sharing with Basic ISP. Before I came to this, I tried many many things. It ends up MSN is there although I don’t need it. This is THE STUPID SOFTWARE.

Bear with Me 熊が出た！

初めての体験！まずはこのヴィデオを見てください。去年じゃなくて、一昨年の秋にとったもの。

これは、家の東側に庭です。10月は非常に寒くて、11月になって、馬鹿陽気。そのおかげで、熊も目が覚めたのか！？こいつのおかげで、この春に200ドルもかかって、ゴミの場所を直したのです。

This is the first time we see a black bear in my garden. It was taken two years ago November 2006. October was pretty cold, but the next month was pretty warm so that this bear woke up. This bear should be the one that costs me $200 this year to restore  out garbage place.

 

My Old Friend’s Comapny

I happened to find him on the Internet. http://www.travelvision.jp/modules/news1/article.php?storyid=27491 He is one year younger than I. He was very active and out-going guy. I think he is like what he is doing right now. His company’s url is http://hisexperience.jp/index.php. If you want to visit Japan, visit his site!

Scratch

Today, I was looking for visual programming language for kids and found some interesting programming language called “Scratch”.  http://scratch.mit.edu/

This tool may be not only for kids but for adults to create an easy visual presentation.

Flex and Javascripts

I was very impressed by the html content in Flex a couple of days ago. As I read Professional Flex 2 book and I saw the section for page history management, it uses iframe for storing the flex page history. It is very similar. So, now I understood how that idea comes from. Since I’m new to flex, I was pretty strongly impressed but if I read it first, I were not so much. Well, I still very much appreciate it. By the way, Professional Adobe Flex 2 (http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Adobe-Flex-Programmer/dp/0470102675) is very well written. I bought Flex 3 Cookbook, but I may not need it.

As I see the rating for this book on Amazon, I was surprised at seeing this book gets four of 1 star. Over all, it is 3 stars. I don’t think that much bad with this book. Especially, someone says “it’s just code snippets that you really can’t test.” This is not true. I’m using online book and copy, paste, and run on flex builder pretty well. Till chapter 10, I got two typos in the code example, but otherwise, all are working good.

HTML in Flex…How? HTMLページ を Flexの中で、、、どうやって？

I have one web application in mind with Flex and wanted to know how to show HTML content in Flex appl. I happened to find this blog: http://www.deitte.com/archives/2006/08/finally_updated.htm

This is a really fantastic idea! I really like it. Also, see the comment history of this particular blog. It’s a long story!

私はひとつ作ってみたいFlexウェブアプリケーションがあり、その中で、HTML ページをどうしても、表示がしたかったのです。偶然にも、上のハイパーリンクを見てください。その実現の仕方がすばらしい！とっても気にいちゃいました。それから、そのブログへのコメントの長さ！

 

 

Testing Tool

It’s been long time since I disagree at the benefit of Testing framework or Testing tool at a level of individual class. It seems that people like to develop test classes for each class they build. Does it really incease quality of the actual classes? I honestly think that it won’t be worth while and wasting of time. Usually, those test classes are built by developers who build the actual classes, right? It seems to me it is a self-satisfaction but prove less or cost performance is not so great.

On the other hand, I agree at building scenario based test cases, which would be more realistic and cost-effective, and it most of the time makes sense because scenario is developed by functional people who may be close to the end customers or users.

I just don’t feel good whenever I read articles or books that mention where developers  describe test classes for each class without thinking about its true value.

 

Book Online オンライン本

I bought Cookbook Flex 3 while I’m reading Professinal Flex 2 online. I have realized that for programming books, online book is better than traditional paper book. It’s much easier for us to copy and paste and run it. I think I should consider the online books from the next time…

 今日アマゾンから、Cookbook Flex 3がくる。オンラインで、プロフェッショナルFlex2も読んでいる。今まできずかなかったけど、プログラミングの本は、オンラインの方がいい。コピー、ペーストで簡単に本に載ってるコードの実行ができる。次回からは、オンラインの本を買ったほうがいいと思えてきた。

Method 5 Instanceof

Using Instanceof operator has to be taken care of good before it is used. Usually using instanceof operator is a sign that software design has some error in object oriented design. Instaceof operator is sometimes needed when existing software needs to be updated. If you are working on new system and if you want to use instanceof operator, you should re-design it without using it.

Instanceof　オペレーターを使う時は、非常に注意を要する。　Instanceof　は、多くの場合、ソフトウェアのデザインが正しくされていないから。Instanceofは、すでに存在しているソフトウェアをアップデートする時に必要な場合がよくある。もし、新しいシステムの構築で、Instaceofを使う時は、もう一度、デザインを考えてみるべきだと思う。

 

Free Books ただの本

うちの会社で、最近好きなことは、IT関係の本がかなり、ただで読めること。Book24X7というサイトがあって、そこから、好きな本が、読めるわけ。もちろん、本屋さんで売っている本がすべて読めるわけじゃないけど、かなりよさそうな本があります。今は、Flexを勉強していることもあり、毎日暇があると、”Professional Adobe Flex2″という本を読んでいる。これ以外にいろいろ自分の読みたい本を、Favoritesの中にいれておける。今もう何冊か、はいってて、たとえば、”Semantic Web Services”, “The Definitive Guide to Grails”, などなど。

I have recently found what I liked in my company, which is that I can read IT books free. The company subscribes Book24X7 web site where I can read books I like. Of course, we cannot read all books in the bookstores, but there are many books that look good. Since I’m studying Flex, I’m reading “Professional Adobe Flex 2″. Besides, I can put other books in my favoites. There are several books already such as “Semantic Web Services”, “The Definitive Guide to Grails”, etc.
