人跑得慢唯有向另一方向進發:「買跑步 gadget」。Garmin早幾個月發佈了新跑錶,加了很多新功能。其中我最有興趣的功能包括:

  1. Preload 了 人造衛星資料,使到 GPS fix 可以快了許多。如果用過跑錶,很多人也會投訴為什麼iPhone可以幾秒就找到GPS,跑錶有時幾分鐘也找不到?其實因為手機可以用 3G/Wifi 大約先估計用家地點,這可以加速了 GPS fix。
  2. Post PC 年代,很多人也沒用電腦了,以前的 Garmin 錶必需經 USB 連接電腦把 data sync 上網,新錶除了此方法,也可以經 Bluetooth BLE 連接手機直接 sync 上網 (暫時只可以iOS,Android app 遲點才支援),而 Garmin 620 更內置 Wifi 可以直接連接和 sync!
  3. 真正100米防水了~~

因為不知道香港何時才有行貨,於是於網上訂購了,但因為是

家姐部 Galaxy S2 開始玩完,見小米出這部紅米只要 HK$999 又包 Google Apps (大陸大部份機都會只跟自家 App Store,又會將 Google Play 和其他 Google App 抽走,美其名是因為 Google App 大陸用不了,我覺得只係各大廠商不想付 license 給 Google,和又可以建立自己 eco-system),便買一部來試下,如果她不適用我便又多部 dev 機。

要買小米比較麻煩,小米出名用飢餓行銷法,於指定日期和時間,限量發售一定數量,使人覺得很好賣的感覺。今次香港首賣說會賣一萬部。我當日第一時間登入便輕鬆買了一部。起初以為沒有人買,但在 facebook 小米網頁上又看到很多人鬧買不到,到底小米有沒有賣到一萬部真是天知道了。

Blog is dead. Yes, my old blog is dead so I create a new one. My old blog was built using drupal. Drupal is good in some respects, but actually it's difficult for maintenance. Wordpress should be the best option at this moment. It is powerful, user friendly and provide tons of plugins and themes. However, as a programmer, I expect that I can take full control of the system. But I didn't use
