Computers & People

Computers are built by people for the use of people. A computer is a very generic
tool; it can be used for an unimaginable range of tasks. It takes a program to
make it useful to someone. In other words, a computer is just a piece of hardware
until someone - some programmer - writes code for it to do something useful.
We often forget about the software. Even more often, we forget about the programmer. The control programs for the Mars Rovers are of course programs - the
Rovers drive autonomously for 24 hours at a time and follow instructions sent
from earth the day before. The transmission is managed by programs. Getting those two Rovers to drive around on Mars for over four years (their estimated design life was three months) is one of the greatest technological triumphs of our civilization.
“Ease yourself into the language. Don’t feel you have to use all of
the features, and don’t try to use them all on the first day.” - Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++ language.


If you can dream it, you can do it.
Walt Disney.

The virtual machine (VM) has contributed an important part to ease the learning curve and the interaction between the operating systems (OS) in the same piece of hardware. I now can run multiple OS in one machine as you can see above: a Linux (Guest) runs inside of Win 7 (Host) with both sharing the same directories. It just likes to run other applications however it does require more memory and horse power to do this. The idea is great but could not possible before because the cost associated with it. ./.tv

You never know what tomorrow will bring.

Sometimes the scene to love someone if you are lucky it can be repeated a second time to give you a chance to tell you that you won't let it happened as the first time. It is rare but it could happen, I have seen it on my last trip to VN on Valentine day. Canh vat co the dien lai cho ta mot lan nua neu ta song tot va su chia cach ko do minh ma ko fai loi cua minh thi thuong de se cho minh co hoi nua. Co lam ta nho ki niem buon nhg cung co ki niem anh goi la niem an ui vi may ra co em doi con de thuong. Mot cam giac quen thuoc rat am cung.

Giọt mưa lặng lẽ trên nụ quỳnh.
Quỳnh hương một đóa thoáng hương thầm vườn đêm xao xuyến.
Một đôi lần đến như người tình để cho trời đất báo tin lành vẫn bình yên.
Mùa mưa tới cành hoa trắng ngần.
đã ra đời đùa vui phút giây sau một lần đến bên người
Khép lại tấm lòng nghìn năm nhớ ai
Còn nơi nào biết những chuyện tình.
Tựa như chuyện những đóa hoa quỳnh một đời thương nhớ.
Người đi tìm kiếm giữa mịt mùng người đi tìm mãi suốt con đường tấm lòng kia

Men and Women want when it comes to love. For Men, let’s admit it, our first instinct when looking for our first girlfriend is for us to be her first. We want that girl or woman to be pure and virgin and for some, tend to get possessive and not let go of her which can be attributed to a man’s primal instinct of being territorial not only for territory, but also for his mate. The feeling of being the first one into a woman’s life is always special just like owning and riding a brand new car.
Women, on the other hand, are more sensitive and subtle towards love and romance. Most, if not all, are more patient and don’t mind being the first, second, third, or so on, for their partners, as long as they are the last love of their partner’s life, pertaining to the quote “’til death do us part.”
“You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.”
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” Which is true and this quote does not only refer to men, but to women as well.
There is no denying that first impressions last when a man or a woman sees a physically attractive person and becomes interested with her or him. However, to most people, it’s the personality that counts when it comes to falling in love with someone. Love starts with the interaction and relation of two people and bonded by time. Even if a man’s partner is aesthetically challenged, his better half will always be beautiful to his eyes because he’s in love with her.
As for me, what I would quote is that “Love will always be a part of our lives. It is the emotion that make life completed and marry is option it is a long term plan when 2 people are bound by their duties”. Va cai kho nhat tren doi khi nguoi ta chi song voi nhau vi bon phan. Do la cuoc song buon te hon ca cuoc song doc than vi no se lam minh rat kho chiu hon cuoc song doc than mac du doi luc cam nhan su co doc.

Interesting subjects

Canada now lends US money to build bridges. US is very interesting country the government is poor but the country has the most billionaires in the world. In the meantime, Canada is rich by collecting the tax is too much. Canadian people is much poorer than Americans. The reason I said that because I live both sites of the border. America is free of the land or American dream ...think about it like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet - 1st and 2nd richest man in the world are American. Does it mean anything? It you read this story the bridge connected US and Canada is privately owned by 83-year-old billionaire Manuel (Matty) Moroun. This is the first time I know that the public bridge and not owned by the government. The history has shown the fundamental of US government favors to the war if they stop funding for the wars, they can build 100 bridges like that.

Queen Elizabeth II visited Canada for 9 days and only 1/2 day to NYC, US. She probably likes Canada more than US or Canada is just a good pet/ngoan. During my work in many years I had to deal with the British people they are racist in their mind, in their thinking. In Canada or England there will never have a black president/prime minister as in United State of America. Obama will never have a chance. You can take a look of Canada and British history. I discussed with a couple of people they agreed with me on this because Canada was once a British colonist. (Britain Empire was able to seize further French colonies in North America: in 1758)
One Canadian wrote:
"I'm Canadian and we still have the queen's @#$% on our money and stamps. How embarrassing it that??!! You Americans are cool to have booted the monarchy. Do it again. Pleez.... toss the queen into the east river. LOL"
I agree the Canadian dollars should have Pierre Trudeau or Lester Bowles Pearson or other prime minister pictures in the money instead of the Queen.

Remember me !

It has been such a long time for me to write again. I did have time to play my guitar or ride my bike or tennis as much as before. I have been so busy and did not feel like to write. Thank you for those who emailed me. I read all the letters from the student's at Dist. 4, Saigon whom I sent gifts to. Some of the letters have a profound insight and impacted on me. This long weekend Independence day I am sick because overworking I was stay late for many nights and did not get enough sleep I am exhausted, this is one of my problem I need to fix it because I am a workaholic. But one has said this work is my life because I enjoy my work, my work is my balance so I don't know. In everything I do I must finish it, and I want to finish it ASAP because I always think that I will be free after with that idea in mind, I keep on working until it finished and then I am sick too. Sometimes I was so tired could not see could not think straight but kept working then go to bed next day woke up in 2 hours I fixed all the problems, this is my big hurdle I should stop when I could no longer work well. It is useless anyway I know it but I can't stop until I found the problem. In technical term they called "debugging". Computers are never tired and they are never wrong but the problem is you have to tell them what to do. This is all about computer. Even 1 bit in 0x00000001 or race conditions timing will make the computer crashed easily. Eclipse is very good tell you about the potential site effect during you write the software/code. With the Eclipse 's idea is better you knew/discover the problem during coding rather the end users - this is called "bug" and bug is very hard to find with thousands line of codes most of bugs after you fixed they are all about logic so object oriented will prevent some of those human mistakes. I try to adopted this way and succeed it before I am retired just for curiosity and satisfaction on my part. This is the right way to do to work in any project in life. Yesterday I watched 60 minutes talked about the professor at Cornell university. She lived in East Africa for 19 years to study about Elephant language she is about to finish the book about elephant dialogue. She hears about the noise or distinctive sound has a special meaning to the elephants from that she could tell what the elephant says or wants. She told to the reporters thank you the elephants because of them she has an interesting job and research goal. Well that all about work. Sometimes if you like work so much you're kind of forget to marry too. I believe that if we could imply those mythologies approach we can solve many problems in life and our work will be more interesting. A lot of works have been done on UML- Unified Modeling Language. For me going school or university it is not about to get the degree but you have a chance to work in those environments with the best and brightest people...for those tell me I am the reason for them to go school, I think first of all is for yourself because you will have a chance to work in the environment (important of ideas) that you love for the rest of your life. I am here to guide you to the right path. That's all. If you can dream it, you can do it - Disney Walt.
I am staying in bed to watch all the movies that I downloaded and did not have time to watch. It is good to watch Independence day again on July 4 ("today we fight for our freedom and the right to stay and survive on this earth"). Remember me, Dear John and Valentine day I watched a video clip on Feb before I went to Nam, now I have a chance to watch it all. Valentine is about doing thing not thinking. I agree life should be impulsive this way everything come by chance no planning to me it is awesome. This is why I had a good trip to Nam when I left on Feb 14. I like a good movie because you can learn a lot from it.

What do you look from the men?
I am looking for a man that can change me to be a better person in everyday.
I am looking for a man looks into my eyes and understand what I want.
I am looking for a man can make me feel safe and protected.
I am looking for a man that make me laugh.
I am looking for a man respect and love me.
I am looking for a life partner...
