Tested several backup software for my laptop.

1. FBackup 4.2 — not support incremental backup

2. Backup4all.Professional.4.2 — during my test, there is a strange error in inc backup.

3. Cobian Backup V10.0 — GUI isn’t friendly

4. GFI Backup 2009 Home Edition — almost perfect, except log which is too professional.

Final, decided to use “GFI Backup 2009 Home Edition”, it’s free for personal user.

The standard KMplayer does NOT support RMVB, maybe for copyright.

To solve the problem, there are three ways.

1. download a version from KMplayer’s website complied by someone, it isn’t official version.

For example, the official version is 3.0.17, the rmvb version is 3.0.18, you can find it.

2. download rmvb dll files, and copy the to KMplayer’s directory. You can google it, then download it.

or Download it from here, KMplayer_rmvb_dll.zip

It works in my Windows 7.

3. Install a Real Player, and copy the dll files related to KMplayer’s directory, the filenames are,

sipr.dll, pncrt.dll, drvc.dll, cook.dll

Good luck.

I opened sync function of Zotero several days ago, because I use Zotero in Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7.

It works.

URL can be saved by Xmark, and web page can be saved by Zotero.

This is why I like Firefox.

Solution:

ren C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Codecs\cook.dll C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Codecs\cook.dll.orig

copy C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\producer\Codecs\cook.dll C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Codecs\

Today, remove most plugins in Firefox V3.5.2 in order to improve its startup speed.

It seems having no effect after clearing up.

Firefox V3.5.2 starts up  slower than IE V6.0, and often crashs.

I have reported many times about the crash related with bookmark’s operation since V2, it’s still in this version.

After you create a bookmark or folder in left side bar, move it immediately, this operation will make Firefox crash.

If you tired of Firefox, Mathon will be a good choice to replaceV3.5.2, URL: http://www.maxthon.com/

I still use Firefox because of its powerful plugins, such as Xmarks, Alexa, and Zotera.

Firefox V3.5.2 is still in pre-release version, it’s hurry to publish, and harms its reputation.

Plugins in my Firefox V3.5 now,

1. Alexa Sparky

2. Gmail Manager

3. IE Tab

4. Java Quick Starter

5. Xmarks

6. Zotero

all of them are active.

Updated Firefox from 3.0.5 to 3.5.2. It’s a failure update because V3.5 has a long startup and is not compatible with some website. Also it seemed V3.5 want more CPU.

Now, Plugins and Addons in Firefox  V3.5.2,

• Alexa Sparky(Usally disable)
• FEBE(can be deleted)
• IE Tab
• Java Quick Starter(can be deleted)
• Xmarks
• Zotero

FusionCharts provides lots of  charts with multi-code method.

URL: http://www.fusioncharts.com/

FusionCharts’ usage is very simple. The distribution package has a good example for each type of chart, and you can draw professional chart within 3 minutes.

It has a free version and a commercial version. Free version is powerful enough to meet most needs.

This is free version URL: http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/

Free version document URL: http://www.fusioncharts.com/free/docs/

Also, they have another tool, PowerCharts. I don’t test and code with this product. From the document, it seems more powerful than the free FusionCharts.

I use PHP code to select data from MySQL, and generate XML for FusionCharts.

More charts can be shown in a single webpage. In your PHP codes, just do as following,

<?php

echo yourchart1

>

<?php

echo yourchart2

>

Notes: table or DIV can be used for layout.
