I got this funky error after just making a small change to a file. Error ## The item “xxx” was specified more than once in the “Resources” parameter. Duplicate items are not supported by the “Resources” parameter Build->Clean doesn’t fix it. If you encounter this same error, try the following. Open your vbproj file in a text editor. If your project is called “myProj”, then the file name is “myProj.vbproj”. (Make a backup first…) ...

高皓正 生命有Take 2佈道會. If you speak Cantonese and are interested in knowing a little more about Christianity, here is a good 30-min video sharing. What I like about Zac Kao’s sharing is that it is very real. It is not filled with religious jargons, compared to other “preachy” sharings that turn people away. [youtube &hl=en_US&fs=1&] ...

TechCrunch has a long list of this year’s April Fools jokes. Here is the link: http://techcrunch.com/april-fools-shenanigans/ My favorite is xkcd. I almost got fooled by Starbucks’ announcement, since I visited that link before seeing the list. Hope some of these will bring you a smile! ;)

Ever wonder what’s the big deal about bottled water? Besides the environmental issue, sometimes depending on where you live the tap water may even be cleaner than the bottled water. We are educated/influenced to believe that bottled water is cleaner and sometimes even tastier. Guess who is behind this? Bingo, the bottled water manufacturers. Here is a nicely done video showing you the ins and outs of the bottled water manufacturers. ...

chicken quesadila Today, just like another usual day, I walked to the cafeteria having all the good intentions to pick the healthy good food, but found myself ended up at the grill as usual. Even worse, before I made my order, the chef smiled and asked if I wanted chicken quesadila. I smiled back and said sure. I imagine this chef sees hundreds of faces everyday. The fact that he remembers my face and remembers what I often order, I should probably re-examine my diet plan again. And yea, another one of my new year resolutions down the drain… ^^; ...

Just heard from TED about Suspended Animation, very interesting stuff. Animation here refers to the movement of any live creatures. An example of suspended animation is say, a plant seed, or a spore, or a polar bear in hibernation. When living creatures are in such a state, their metabolism is slowed down many times, thus prolonging their lifespan or in practicality buying more time before an important medical treatment. To make this possible, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is used to take over the normal oxygen binding. With less oxygen consumption, less metabolism, thus entering into hibernation. ...

[youtube &hl=en_US&fs=1&] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCOPMBwq30c 不要驚動愛情 - 鄭秀文 作曲：歐陽業俊 填詞：高皓正 很想輕撫你　所以避開你 寧願用距離　去令你好奇 迴避過眼神　先偷偷喘氣 吩咐手臂　放在原地 傳聞浪漫太快　愛戀都走得快 才會遲遲未步向你　說一世愛護你 情太過洶湧像深海　而我卻會忍耐 但求來日你醒過來 這份情像翅膀打開 還沒有相戀別意外　神教會我等待 待情流像細水　才去承諾你 拿一生兌換愛 很心急擁抱　所以在禱告 求甜蜜以前　帶著你慢步 遊歷過旅途　等一天終老 生老病死　一起細數 原來慢慢靠近　更珍惜這一吻 而我停留是為了你　要給予你護蔭 情太過洶湧像深海　而我卻會忍耐 但求來日你醒過來 這份情像翅膀打開 還沒有相戀別意外　神教會我等待 待情流像細水　才去承諾你 拿一生兌換愛 ...

Sometimes I wanna type something in canto, but you know that’s actually easier said than done. For some of the canto words we say everyday, if you ask me to write them down I would have a hard time doing so. Today I was doing some searches for such a canto database or conversion tool, I found this website: http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/scripts/wordsearch.php. The results are quite impressive. For example, try searching for the word “hello”, you get 喂 and 哈囉 back. Amazing! ;) ...

All of a sudden I am craving for some Chinese songs. I am so glad RTHK has their radio channels broadcast online. Here is their link: http://www.rthk.org.hk/index_eng.htm. Just click on “Live Radio” on the top left corner and start listening! Since it’s their night time when I listen to it, it’s mostly songs instead of commercials and talks. Just the way I want it! Metro also has their radio channels online at http://www.metroradio.com.hk/1044/. ...
