Hi everyone! I realized that my Panda Toy has been travelling with me whenever I'm out of my city. It would be cute to compile where Jiajia has gone! After the jump! Hong Kong - my first overseas travel: where I bought Jiajia, too! If you're wondering, he's in that Ocean Park bag I'm carrying.

A previous post ago, I suggested a website wherein you can have a crash course on French at your own convenience. Now, using a Samsung unit running on Android, Basics on Foreign Languages has been made less difficult! First of, Samsung Market offers free "to-English" Dictionaries. Using my VERY limited knowledge in French, I found the free French/English Dictionary very comprehensive yet

With the gigantic software that is ArcGIS, I do admit that it is easier for everyone to just pinpoint and draw areas with Google Earth. Converting GE shapes into shapefiles became a necessity, of which I did with ease, although I did a little workaround: an ArcScript that converts KML files to shapefiles by Jason Parent which can convert a file or a group of files in a "folder". I had no problem

So I recently had an Android unit, and jumped right away into saving my .pdf books there. Nothing beats the convenience (and just the awesomeness of it) of ebook readers. Unfortunately, ebooks come in different formats - and PDF is just not one of them. Luckily, I do have some books that comes in EPUB. =D Enjoy!

Here are some quirks you might have missed when using Windows 7."Always On Top" feature of Windows Gadget. I do miss the sidebar in Vista (where your windows will resize to accomodate the sidebar), instead of moving the gadgets around the desktop. However, most webpages and applications are not built to occupy the whole widescreen, so my gadgets are not much of an obstruction to my windows.
