昨天下午上班的公司門口的排水道排水不及, 結果水滿得到處都是. 還淹進了公司的前門. 第一次淹水進來… 現在前門口還堆有沙袋呢! ^_^ 住家附近一點事也沒有. 昨晚電燈是有閃了好幾十次, 不過還是沒有停電.
Coming Storm
今天傍晚至明天早上的 Storm 將是自 1993 年 1 月 20 日 (Inauguration Day Storm) 以來最強的 Storm. 郊區要有可能斷電的準備. 要注意安全哦!!! 如果你還沒有註冊 Regional Public Information Network, 可以去看看這個非常有用的網站.

[電腦] AJAX
原來 AJAX 真的是不難. 難的部份是在如何有效的應用. 不過也滿有趣的. 終於 Blog 的讀取速度增加了五倍多, 沒有兩秒就出現了. 問題就是出在音樂分享的 RSS 檔案裡. 以前網頁讀取時, 每次都需要讀取音樂分享裡那五個 RSS 檔案. 其中一個 RSS 檔超過 500K. 由於要等那些音樂分享的 RSS 檔案的讀取, 大大的延遲其他資訊的顯示. 把音樂分享利用 AJAX 的方式, 這樣 Blog 上其他的東西可以立即的顯示, 不用再等待音樂分享的 RSS 的讀取. 速度當然就快得多了…

No Gun
小朋友在玩遊樂器的射擊遊戲. 媽媽看到了說, “No gun allowed for you, or you don’t play.” 小朋友聽了把槍放下, 換了一支刀, 並對媽媽說, “See, no gun. It’s sword.” 然後繼續他的遊戲… Side Note: Minnesota tops list in health rankings 94 deaths of homeless people highlight lack of care Business of providing a good night’s sleep is booming Medical Side Note: Drug for diabetes works, but it has serious side effects U.S. looking in wrong place for bird flu, new study says Study: 1 in 1,000 new mothers suffer from disorders
