Some Updates... Sep-06

I have just finished the novel 2001: Space Odyssey, and I find it quite interesting. Also took some time to verify whether the artificial gravities described in the book satisfy the laws of physics. I have the sequel 2010: Odyssey Two, which solves many mysteries in the first book. I hope to finish it as soon as possible, but I still have a lot of other things to do. So I'll read it in a much slower pace this time.

My brother challenged me to solve a murder case in a detective comics. After reading a lot of detective stories and developed my systematic way of mystery solving approach, recently I have been able to solve almost all fictional murder cases, :) provided enough evidences are given. I don't mean to bluff, but I just like to read detective stories because they exercise and challange my brain.

I would like to play the games Myst IV: Revelation and Myst V: End of Ages too. I have completed the previous three series (Myst (Masterpiece version), Myst II: Riven, and Myst III: Exile), and am eager to finish the rest. But I have to empty my time first, as well as 10GB of harddisk space just for Myst IV! The puzzles in Myst series have been quite challenging and attracting.

Jia has been suggesting various opinions for improving my site's interface. Well, her suggestions are reasonable. Thanks! The banner of the page needs some work, and I have been thinking about it these days. By the way, I will write a page explaining the extra things I have done on these pages for IE6. I don't simply say that IE6 is not standard-compliant, but there are hard evidences out there and it's a widely known fact.

The World Chess Championship Match 2006 has begun, and Kramnik is leading Topalov 3-1 at the moment. Latest by 12-Oct-2006, we will see who can laugh last. The match so far has been very interesting, and they have played high-level and really exciting games.

Too ambitious... too many things to do... but I hope to do some things to stablize my income first... :) No choice.
