Bye, Bell
Filed in Business, IT, Personal, October 11, 2007, 2:11 amGoodbye, Bell.
I’d canceled the Bell Internet service today. Too bad. Before today, everybody told me they had some unhappy experience with Bell, but I didn’t believe them and I defended.
Now I know: I am wrong, I am totally wrong.
When I came back from Toronto in early September, I moved to this new place. At the [...]
I Wish My Books Can Go

Circular Linked List Problem
Filed in Programming, October 7, 2007, 2:06 pmHow to determine a linked list has a cycle without marking any nodes? This is a classical interview question and one of my friend brought it to me.

Zooomr’s uploading issue solved, sort of.
Filed in Web, October 3, 2007, 11:59 pmZooomr, like my favorite Flickr, is a photo sharing service. It’s provides unlimited storage for free; this is the point makes me give Zooomr a try.
