Some interesting sites...

I come across this URL again on a local newspaper couple of days ago. I have faith in almost all of Google’s applications. (shh… I didn’t try all, but those I tried, I am very satisfied.) If you click on the planets listed down there, it will bring you to the planet location in the sky. Each planet seems to have its own symbol. I didn’t know about that. I think this should be included in our school syllabus. We would be easily draw and identify the planets. It’s fun to learn about planets this way, personal opinion. One funny thing happened was, I click on the Earth. I was expected it to bring me to the Earth in the sky. It pops up to the Google Maps instead. Hahahaha~~ I wonder if an alien is using this tool, what would he/she/it think. As a conclusion, I think this tool is not alien-friendly. :P Anyway, I do wish there will be some enhancement on the zoom in. It stops at the last 5th zoom in scale. :-s http://sky.google.com/

I can’t really remember how I was introduced to this web site. I recall that I got a one-year free newsletter delivered to my door. It was years ago. During my first job… I think. :D I consider myself am into IT, not in a very deep knowledge on how-to, but I like it in general, the convenience that IT development brought to our daily life, at least, my daily life. I am still subscribing online newsletter from Techrepublic, glance through some of the white paper, least of the time. :P Most of the time, I just leave them in my mailbox. Pity them. I guess, I should spend sometime to glance through, at least the highlighted title to get myself updated on IT trend. I am planning to start this while I am switching my job to non-IT related… funny, huh? Probably, this is just one of my dreams to achieve. I rarely go to this site, actually. Whenever I found a topic posted on the white paper download, it always requires me to login. I always need to go and dig my account information, or click on...

It's been long time that I have never put any new URL here. I always have problem to remember this simple URL, so I better put this down before I need to google for it again! I am a Malay-educated, at least for my secondary school education, or even partially of my university life. There are some terms, I know in Malay, but not in English or Mandarin, so I normally visit this site, to get the translation. Anyhow, when I need a word in Malay, but I only know it in Mandarin or English, I'll use this site too. It's quite handy to get the word in other 2 languages using this site. A lot of time, the words that I am looking for are not there. For example, the word "logamaya" in Malay. I have to use Google to search for "Malay + logamaya" to figure it out. Mirage is the English word for logamaya. Anyway, even though it's slow, and limited vocabulary offered, but it's a quite handy site when I need to find the right word for my writing. :) http://search...
