Messy gossip

Well, recently what I did is coding in Java and getting around some new stuffs, like my new camera K100D.
First, let's move to Java. I am developing a program for displaying the energy consumption. Basically, I wrote classes which implemented new features in Java 6. It is called system tray class. Although you might have seen that in C or Delphi/Pascal codes long time before, the system tray in Java is really a new feature in 6 version. One problem is the listener in the tray cannot capture some actions, such as MouseEntered. Anyway, I implement it by other methods. The project require me to test the codes in Linux and Macintosh too. However, Macintosh by now does not support Java 6. Oops, I have to convince the instructor to forget it in Macintosh...
I would like to talk about my new camera K100D as well. Pentax is also a strong and old DSLR producer. But, to be honest, the operation in that camera is not convenient enough compared to Nikon D80. The menu design, the human interface and the displaying aesthetic aspects are not so good as D80. Of course, not all the things are bad. For example, the quality of pictures generated by K100D is pretty good and amazing under specific light conditions. In the same contexts, some pictures are even better than D80's! Actually, the camera, with two lenses, is a gift for my family. I hope my parents enjoy it!

New MacBook.

I just got my new MacBook this week. By now, I have installed Vista on that. It looks working perfectly. Here is a picture. But, it's only a try for me. I will stick to Macintosh. Anyway, Vista is a much better one than XP.
