			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Between these two numbers, which one is larger? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=0.99999%5Cldots&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='0.99999\ldots' title='0.99999\ldots' class='latex' /> or <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=1&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='1' title='1' class='latex' />?<br />
At a quick glance, most people will say that <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=1&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='1' title='1' class='latex' /> is larger than <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=0.99999%5Cldots&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='0.99999\ldots' title='0.99999\ldots' class='latex' /></p>
<p>However, consider the following:<br />
Let,<br />
<img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=x%3D0.99999%5Cldots&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='x=0.99999\ldots' title='x=0.99999\ldots' class='latex' /></p>
<p>Now,<br />
<img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=10x%20%3D%209.99999%5Cldots&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='10x = 9.99999\ldots' title='10x = 9.99999\ldots' class='latex' /><br />
<img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=10x%20%3D%209%20%2B%20x&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='10x = 9 + x' title='10x = 9 + x' class='latex' /></p>
<p>By a simple algebra, we can find that<br />
<img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=x%20%3D%201&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=2' alt='x = 1' title='x = 1' class='latex' /></p>
<p>It means that <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=x%3D0.99999%5Cldots%3D1&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='x=0.99999\ldots=1' title='x=0.99999\ldots=1' class='latex' /></p>
<p><br/><br />
Can anyone explain this? Does <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=0.99999%5Cldots&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='0.99999\ldots' title='0.99999\ldots' class='latex' /> really equal to <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=1&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='1' title='1' class='latex' />?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Katsu (カツ), is a famous Japanese dish which generally refers to any kind of a deep-fried meat. Even though it is commonly understood as a tonkatsu (豚カツ, pork cutlet), sometimes it can also be understood as a torikatsu (鳥カツ, chicken cutlet).</p>
<p>The word 'katsu' itself can also be written in a different way as 勝つ, which is read in exactly the same say (a homophone).<br />
Katsu (勝つ) means "to win" or "to gain victory". (e.g. 試合に勝つ!, shiai ni katsu! = I'll win the game!)</p>
<p>This is why Japanese sportsmen eat katsu-don (カツ丼 = a rice bowl topped with deep-fried meat) the day before a big match. Japanese students do the same too before taking big tests or school entrance examinations.</p>
<p>So,, it is OK to say:</p>
<blockquote align="center"><p>A katsu-don (カツ丼 = rice bowl with cutlet) is<br/> a katsu-don (勝つ丼 = winning rice bowl). <img src='http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p><br/><br />
Do you know that the famous finger-snack <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Kat">Kit-Kat</a>, is called "kitto-katsu (キットカツ)" in Japanese?<br />
Kitto-Katsu, can also be written as きっと勝つ, which means "definitely win!"</p>
<p>\^_^/</p>

<p><span id="more-94"></span></p>
<p>The basic idea lies on the above simple algebraic equation. It is obvious to say that in order to reduce the amount of <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=CO_2&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='CO_2' title='CO_2' class='latex' />, one of those factors has to be close to zero. But which factor can we realistically reduce? and how is that even possible?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MMS (Microsoft Media Server) is Microsoft's streaming protocol used to transfer data in Windows Media Services. Since this streaming data is meant to be played in client-side streaming application, it is not an obvious thing to do if we intend to download/save the streaming video to our local drive.<br /> <span id="more-55"></span><br /> There are several ways to do it, but I just found downloading MMS streaming video using VLC media player is easy, straightforward and free:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Get the streaming-media URL</strong><br /> This seems obvious. But just in case you have difficulties getting the MMS streaming URL, you can open the webpage where the streaming video is embedded using Firefox, and then click the menu <strong>Tools</strong> -&gt; <strong>Page Info</strong>.You can get the embedded media URL as at the following picture:<br /> <a href="http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/firefox-get-embedded-url.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-70" title="firefox-get-embedded-url" src="http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/firefox-get-embedded-url-300x221.png" alt="" width="300" height="221" /></a><a href="http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/firefox-get-embedded-url.png"><br /> </a></li>
<li>Launch VLC Media player, and then click on <strong>File </strong>-&gt; <strong>Open Network Stream...</strong></li>
<li>Select the "<strong>HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/MMS</strong>" option, and specify the URL.</li>
<li>On the advanced options section below, check "<strong>Stream/Save</strong>" and click "<strong>Settings...</strong>" button.</li>
<li>On the Outputs section at "Stream output" window, check "<strong>File</strong>" option, specify the <em>file name,</em> and check the "<strong>Dump raw input</strong>."</li>
<li>Click OK to close the "Stream output" window</li>
<li>Click OK one more time to start downloading the streaming video</li>
</ol>
<p>I hope this is useful to those who want to save the streaming video and to watch it later.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wpcustomprop.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-53" title="SharePoint Web Part Custom Properties" src="http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wpcustomprop.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="171" /></a>In my current project, I am creating a SharePoint web part that simply renders a custom .NET User Control from a certain location. I want the user to be able to configure the User Control's properties through the Web Part properties. Therefore I followed the MSDN instruction on <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd584174(office.11).aspx" target="_blank">how to create a web part with custom properties</a>. However, somehow the custom properties just doesn't show up.</p>
<p>So, after scratching my head for a couple of hours (not literally), I found something that, <em>I think</em>, was not accurately specified:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Personalizable</strong> attribute needs to be specified</li>
<li>Use <strong>WebBrowsable</strong> instead of <strong>Browsable</strong> attribute</li>
</ol>
<p>This is the code-snippet that works for me:</p>
<pre class="brush: csharp; title: ; notranslate">

[DefaultValue(true)]
[Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared)]

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Affogato</strong>. It means <em><strong>drowned</strong> </em>in Italian.</p>
<p>I had <em>Affogato</em> last night at <a title="1Caramel" href="http://www.1-caramel.com/" target="_blank">1Caramel</a> at around 10pm-11pm. It was so frenzied, I felt like losing myself. Luckily there were somebody there to help me out of the misery. &gt;.&lt;</p>
<p><span id="more-37"></span></p>
<p>Haha.. Enough for the hyperbole. I was not drowned and nobody got hurt. The <em>Affogato </em>that I had last night was coffee-based beverage consists of a scoop of vanilla ice-cream topped with 2 shots of espresso.</p>
<p>Here is the picture when it was first served.<br />
<a href="http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/affogato.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40" title="affogato" src="http://www.johanmk.com/_wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/affogato.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>I sipped the espresso and it was very acidly-bitter. Sure enough that I was not going to enjoy it. However, when you pour the espresso over the vanilla ice-cream. It tastes really nice, actually.</p>

<p>Yummy! Yummy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah.. <strong>Hello World</strong>! <em>Again</em>.. I must say. There were multiple attempts of creating a blog in the past, be it personal or technical blog.. But all ended up neglected. So, I came to a conclusion that I don't write, and I don't blog. That was just NOT me.</p>
<p>So now why bother trying to do it again?</p>
<ol>
<li>I lost touch with my friends' life. Meaning that I don't know what they are doing, what they feel, what they think, what they are up to, etc.<br /> OK.. Blame it to my ignorance, because I hardly bother to make the efforts, and because I tend to keep things to myself.. I seldom share what excites me, what triggers my curiosity, or what pisses me off.. So, take this as my effort to make myself available.</li>
<li>A new decade has just begun.<br /> So where the heck had the past decade just gone to?? Human forgets. Especially me. So, I need something to help me remember, means to know where have I been, what have I done, etc.</li>
</ol>
<p>And here it goes.. Another "Hello World" from the same me..</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
