Upgrade my N410c to 768M
Hmm, after the painful 48 hours, I feel good again.
Found that I can not bear the speed of only 256m memory in my notebook: the harddisk led is always red and it is always making noise… Maybe someone would say it is just a old P3 one and 256m is really enough for it. But I don’t think so.
In most situation, the amount of memory is much much more important than the CPU frequency. By other words, you would notice the P3-1.2G+512m machine is faster than P4-1.8G+256m for common usage.
After the cycle of 512m->256m->768m, I validated the two fact:
- P3 is really enough for me.
- I really need large mamory.
What’s the benefit?
Now I build a virtual ram disk of 128m for temp use, just like the system temporary directory and the internet explorer cache. As everyone knows, the speed of memory is over 10 times faster than disk.
And by the 768m memory and 80g disk. I can use VMware to set a virtual network for test purpose. Active Directory, Exchange… I will study for them.
Here’s the photo of this great 512m pc133 sdram.

Built a php forum
I had a forum called “iamcj’s bbs” for a long time. It was in university period that I had a PC in dormitory as my small server. The server provided http and ftp function and was somewhat famous for the Palm software resources. Not very much ( some other ftp said it has over 10G, while mine is only about 2G ), but nearly everything in it was tested by my own.
After leaving school, of cource the ftp and forum was closed. I always received some messages and emails asking for it.
So… when having the condition, I decided to rebuild the forum as quickly as possible.
But the former forum program is not very good. It has turned into a large one and is full of advertisement. After searching I choose discuz!. It has a commercial version, but still with a free personal version which I am using now.
OK. Welcome to the new forum ( Chinese site): http://bbs.iamcj.net
I will keep discussing about Palm and everything interesting there.

Outlook introduction and trick: Making quick notes
Many friends are using Outlook Express (OE) as their favorite email clients. It comes with Windows and we need not pay for it. And OE also provides nearly all functions we needed.
Of course there is must be some people using Outlook, like me. Outlook is not free, it is a component of Microsoft Office suite. Then what is the different between Outlook and OE? Is OE the express and free version of Outlook. Is Outlook more suitable for me?
First, I think for a pure email client software, OE is somewhat better than Outlook. But sometimes what we need is not only this, but a full integration of Personal Information Manager (PIM). For this, I think Outlook is the best choice.
By Outlook, we can manage all resources like contacts, todos, calendar, notes, etc. All of these focus in contacts. By viewing one contact’s “action”, we can find any thing related with him (her), like meetings, emails, and so on.
OK, here’s a trick of Outlook. Many people say Outlook is a big one and slow to start. We often need to make a quick note of something and are not patient enough to wait for outlook to load. I alwalys start a notepad to write and then save it. Of cource it is so inconvenient until I find this.
For example you install Office in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office”, then you need to create a shortcut of “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\OUTLOOK.EXE” /c ipm.stickynote”. By clicking this shortcut, you can quickly create a note without to start Outlook fully. The note will be automatic saved when you close the small window.
PS: if your Office version is not 2003, maybe you should change the directory in the shortcut. The switch “/c ipm.stickynote” is the key of this trick.
