Sometimes if the file name is too long, some application will not work properly. So, it is better to make the name short. What is the length of the file name now ?
Instead of counting by fingers, I have written this JScript named filename_length.js :

// tangible or intangible loss while using or
// misusing this coding.
// -------------------------------------------------------------
// Purpose: Display the length of the filename(s)
// as well as the length of the fullpath filename(s).
// If there are multiple files,
// the whole list of files will be displayed line by line
// with the length of the fullpath filename inside brackets
// And, at the end, the file(s) with the longest length
// will be identified (except when all files are with same
// length).
// Noted : This script counts the number of characters in the name,
// not the number of byte. Double-byte character (e.g.
// Chinese) is counted as 1 in the filename length.
// For example, a filename with 4 Chinese characters will
// give a length of 4 (even though the name occupies 8 bytes).
// Limitation: 1. The total number of files passed to this script
// cannot be too large because this will trigger the
// error - arguments list is too long
// 2. When filename is with Unicode characters, some
// application cannot open it because the application
// does not use Unicode-API.
// This script also cannot display Unicode filename
// correctly. Instead, a Question Mark will be seen.
// Platform : Windows XP
// Installation: 1. Put this script in the any folder you like
// 2. Go to the Send To folder
// 3. Create a shortcut to point to this script
// Usage : Inside any folder,
// 1. Select one (or multiple) file
// 2. Right-Click
// 3. Select Send To
// 4. Select the shortcut of this script
// The information will be dislayed in a pop up window.
// After reading, click OK to quit.

It is very simple to use alternate line shading in program coding like this :
program Hello_World;
begin;
writeln('Hello World !');
writeln('This is a demo for alternate line shading.');
end. |
 |
The alternate line shading in the above example are simply implemented by repeating the image at the left. |
This demo shows alternate line shading for 5 different shadings :

Every time when I login the Renewal of Libarary Materials of Hong Kong Public Libraries and the eTax of Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong to perform any taxation related activities, Firefox 3.0.4 will pop up to ask me to add the site as exception. So far I was asked 3 times because in each time I was re-directed to a different server , namely etax11, etax21 and etax22. This is quite troublesome.
So, the best way is to add the Hong Kong Post as a trusted CA in Firfox.
To do so, the first step is to get the certificate of Hong Kong Post.
|
Then, follows these steps
|
Now the Hongkong Post is one of the trusted CA in your Firefox. When going to the sites having certificates issued by Hongkong Post, it will be trust and will not prompt for add exception in Firefox.
For example, when you go to Hong Kong Public Libraries for books renewal, the site will be trusted. At the bottom right corner of the status bar, there is a site name libcat.hkpl.gov.hk with a lock button. Double-click the lock button and then the View Certificate button will see the certificate.
BTW, as at 2008-11-28, the eTax of Inland Revenue Departement of Hong Kong still cannot support the browser Firefox 3. However, as at 2009-02-05, Firefox 3 can be used to login the eTax.
Although we use Google everyday, do you really know about some advanced technique.
This URL www.googleguide.com - Special Characters: Summary show some useful search operators (e.g. + - ~ OR | .. *) in Google search.
The URL also contains some other userful information of Google search.
When you drag a file (e.g. index.htm) from the Temporary Internet Folder to a standard folder, the file is renamed with square brackets with a number inside (e.g. index[1].htm or index[2].htm).
The URL SCRIPTING REMOVE BRACKETS REVISITED has a JScript to remove this square brackets. The steps are :
|
Then, the file will be renamed with square brackets removed.
After numerous trials and errors and searching the net, I finally can partially run the Localization Demo of BlackBerry in Eclipse 3.4.1.
By default, the simulator's language is English. So, the followings are the steps to call the application in English :
|
To test the Demo in German, one have to add the German language into the simulator. For example, when using the simulator 9530, edit the 9530.xml to locate the line:
<application>net.rim.blackberry.lang.en_GB</application> |
<application>net.rim.blackberry.lang.de</application>
|
|
For France, in the 9530.xml add the following lines under it :
<application>net.rim.blackberry.lang.fr</application>
|
BTW, I have tried the followings language but seems that 9530 simulator does not support them :
