Open source directory - in chinese!

Here is a very interesting site with lots of links to open source projects.
Unfortunately, this is in Chinese (simplified).
So here's using google to translate it:
http://216.239.39.104/translate_c?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.open-open.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.open-open.com/%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff

One hassle with the google translator is that it seems to only translate the first half of the document.
Bablefish.altavista.com wasn't any better - in fact, it died quite sadly.

Oh well, looks like I'll have to translate it the best I can :-)

Ricoh Caplio GX digital camera

Got a new camera:
Products & Solutions | Caplio GX | Ricoh Global

It's fast, to a certain extent, but the main failings are:

Slow write speed to SD card - maybe even enough to reduce it's usability. Choice magazine lists it as 4.7s between shots!!!. I found it slower than that when the buffer gets full, and also because I have a cheapo slow SD card.

Poor movie mode - 320x200. It's also limited to 80s!!! Even with 128Mb card! SHHIT!

Update: July 05. Bought a fast fast SD card from Hong Kong (Toshiba + noname brnad 512Mb). Now writes incredibly fast. Can almost just hold down the shutter and take about 2 shots/second. Too bad about the focus :-)

Email blogs aren't working

For some unknown reason, email blogs don't seem to be working.
This means march blogs have disappeared. Oh well?

Abby is now 15 weeks old. She has grown and also is starting to lose her hair!

going mad

I'm slowing going mad - this baby of mine is very colic'y and very tempermental.
We aren't getting much sleep with the incessant crying and poor feeding - last week she seemed to settle down a bit, up to 5hrs sleep at night!
Now she is really tired, cranky, posseting (vomiting) and is really hard to settle.
My god, how can the human race survive? This is the argument for contraception if I ever saw one.

Well, it turns out that my sister has a nice

One of the nice things about blogs is that you can be either

I prefer the latter sometimes, or is that the former?

well folks, welcome to my blog.
This is an online diary for my thoughts made public.

Anyway, today I'm announcing to the world my daughter.

She is cute, pretty, beautiful etc. However, she is also unsettled and crys a lot, so we don't get much sleep. Oh well, 2 sides of a coin I say.
