FileLime
This is a blog post about a website called FileLime. It is one of the newest file uploading websites, among with all those slow ones with ads and what not. It has got a really neat feature - upload progress bar. If you are uploading a file of 30MB, you could see how it progresses instead of wait for 20 minutes to find that your internet has been disconnected.
The real reason I am writing about this is due to their blog contest for an iPod Touch. Anyone could write a blog entry of a minimum of 100 words about their website, and enter a draw for a free iPod Touch. International blogs welcome. And you know what, this has been more than 100 words, so I’ll stop here and let you enjoy the site.
The Gphone Platform - Android
So apparently this is no Gphone. Yesterday, Google announced that there would be an open source development platform for mobile devices — Android, a joined venture by the Open Handset Alliance.
I was hoping for some fancy phone that you could whip out and make iPhone users look like out-of-style douchebags. Well, now I at least hope cell phone vendors (Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, etc) would port this platform to existing cell phones.
While I’m at it, it does not seem like the Canadian Rogers Communications Corporation seems to buy in on the fact that people want relatively cheap service for viewing the web on their cell phones. For only $150 a month, users could get a premium bandwidth allowance of 25MB! We need some competition up here now that Rogers has all the GSM market.
When to Eat Mooncakes
Mooncackes are good (the ones without egg yokes anyway), but unless you keep a Chinese lunar calendar, it is likely you will always be buying mooncackes when they are the most expensive — a week before it starts.
Technically speaking, the day you should eat it is on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the 15th day of the 8th month of each lunar year. I know I certainly do not have a calendar that calculates when that is, so here is a list of Mid-Autumn Festival dates for the next 11 years.
