Mocom.ru To my fellow IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptop fans, here is an excellent archive of (what I believe to be) the official wallpapers from IBM and/or Lenovo. Most of the pictures on this website are the same as those on my new ThinkPad T42, but in higher resolutions--up to 1600x1200 and 1400x1050 pixels. Keywords: thinkpad , wallpapers , downloads

PatchBurn Homepage Hacking Mac OS X Panther and Tiger to burn to Generic non-Apple DVD/CD Burners I was helping my younger brother find a software that would let him burn iTunes music and iPhoto pictures to an external DVD burner--the NEC ND-3500A burner in a USB 2.0 external case. I used to do this for him once when he was using Mac OS X Panther. Unfortunately, he's never been able to burn a DVD again since he upgraded to Tiger because I could not remember the name of the software. I spent some time searching thru my software archive today and finally got the name and the link to the homepage of this software here . I think it would be useful to many of you. Here is the description from the PatchBurn homepage: PatchBurn is a tool to patch existing CD/DVD-drivers (under Mac-OS X 10.2.x) or to generate and install new device profiles (under Mac-OS 10.3.x and later) It allows many, otherwise unsupported burners to be used directly with Mac-OS X, iTunes and DiscBurner.

Google Suggest: Type-ahead Keyword Suggestion on Google I got a link to Google Suggest -- a research product from Google Labs -- while I was reading the Foundations of Ajax book. Google Suggest's type-ahead keyword suggestion is an example application of AJAX technology -- a combined use of JavaScript, XML, CSS, and related technologies to make web applications more responsive to users. It's fun to use and I think it would make us more productive in formulating a web search. Keywords: google , tips , ajax , fun , productivity

I got an interesting quote while reading Chapter 1 (p. 20) of the book " Foundations of Ajax " by R. Asleson and N. Schutta. ...just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I was critized by my advisor once that I lacked the communication skill -- I seemed to put too much detail in Powerpoint presentations. So much that the audience was overwhelmed. My advisor said he knew I was trying to show-off -- to show the so-many-things that I did. But I was supposed to focus on the audience -- to understand what they wanted to here and what they didn't.

Here is a very nice quote on originality and innovation from Howard Aiken presented on my Google homepage today: Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats. Keywords: quotes , plagiarism , phd , research-methodology , originality , innovation

Welcome to Thiti's Home Page If you are interested, here is the link to my very first homepage back in the year 1999. I made it when I was in a master-degree program at AIT. It reminds me of the good old days back then. Keywords: history , fun , websites

IBM Personal computing support - Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter software for Windows 2000/XP - ThinkPad R40, R50/e/p, R51, T40/p, T41/p, T42/p, X31, X40 Problem: ThinkVantage Access Connection software on IBM ThinkPad T41 with Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapter cannot control turn wireless radio on and cannot detect any wireless network . I formatted my brother’s ThinkPad T41 and used the ThinkVantage Software Installer to install all related drivers. To my surprise, after every driver was installed, ThinkVantage Access Connection could not control turn the wireless radio on nor can it detect any wireless network. However, if I check the “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings” button in the Wireless Network Connection Properties, Windows XP's Wireless Zero Configuration itself was able to detect my home wireless network and could perfectly connect to it. I consulted a friend who is very knowledgeable in ThinkPad and learned that there
