肉類蔬菜湯
July 28th, 2008 Phanix為什麼是用「肉類」呢，因為我覺得不管是用排骨、牛尾還是豬腳都不錯，簡單好做又好吃。 (L)

Free Short Message to US mobile phone
July 27th, 2008 Phanix無聊找一下可以送美國免費簡訊的網站。
我覺得Gizmo SMS比較方便用一點，不用麻煩挑service provider。
PhotoBurst — Travel Photography
July 26th, 2008 Phanix今天要來推薦一下 PhotoBurst 這個網站，非常棒的旅遊攝影作品！
前幾天在 Flickr 上頭收到一封信，寄信的人說看了我所拍攝的一些旅遊照片 (Slide Show)之後覺得很喜歡，並希望我能夠去他所設立的網站上頭看看，可以的話也可以投稿參加比賽。
PhotoBurst 為了鼓勵大家投稿好作品，所以有 daily contest，在首頁上頭看到的就是當天的 photo of the day，此外每週會從當週的七張 photos of the day 挑出 photo of the week，當然，也會有 photo of the month。同時 photo of the month 將會獲得 B&H (www.bhphotovideo.com) US$100 gift card 做為獎品。(不過我覺得這個 gift card 大概很難找到機會使用吧？)
從 archive 看一下過去的 photo of the day，真的每一張都很棒，原本還想來投稿，但這下我發覺我的程度實在太差了 stO
Global Buzz: Why TV Show “Fated to Love You” Is an Obsession in Taiwan

RealPlayer & YouTube
July 21st, 2008 Phanix之前都習慣用 firefox 瀏覽 YouTube，最近不曉得為什麼用 firefox 都比較慢，所以就改用 IE，沒想到發現到神奇的東西。
就是因為電腦上有裝 RealPlayer ，結果就在 YouTube 的播放視窗上有一些 plugin icon可以下載 video，按下滑鼠右鍵後也有下載的選單，這樣就可以一口氣下載很多連續劇(?)來看了 
Turn off “Reading Document” function of Adobe Arcrobat
July 18th, 2008 Phanixhttp://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=13663
The bad news is that you can’t disable it through an Acrobat Preference setting. You can decrease the frequency via Edit –> Preferences –> Reading Panel Screen Reader options: Only read the currently visible pages.
Another option is to disable the plug-in responsible for this.
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins
and rename either accessibility.api or readoutloud.api to accessibility.old or readoutloud.old resp.
Strike, 3 days left.
July 17th, 2008 Phanix根據新聞所寫的，這次的罷工要持續五天，也就是一個禮拜啦，看來要出門都要小心一點，免得又像昨天一樣得走個三公里的路回來 =____=
In response, their union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299, called a five-day strike, which began Monday.
不過仔細閱讀新聞內容，覺得這樣的罷工還蠻有道理的，畢竟薪水實在太低。
Asingle parent living in Riverside County or Orange County needs to earn $24.74 an hour to make ends meet, …(skip)… In a two-parent household, each parent needs to earn at least $17.48 an hour to break even.
But after 10 months of negotiation, $11.50 an hour is the last, best offer the 10-campus University of California …
但，經費的來源也是一大問題…
It’s facing a budget shortfall. Union leaders are quick to point out that only 8% of the UC hospitals’ budgets come from the state, and the campuses, too, are not entirely funded by state money.
可是，偏偏一些正式的faculty卻領了很高的薪水啊 =____=
Few UC Irvine faculty members know that, according to union sources, the chief executives of all of the UC hospitals but Irvine’s were prepared to offer the patient-care workers $14.50 an hour, which was acceptable to the union. Maureen Zehntner, chief executive of the UC Irvine medical center (salary $555,000 a year), held out for $13.50 an hour, claiming that living costs in Orange County are lower than elsewhere in California.
Still strike…
July 16th, 2008 Phanix現在，我有點討厭起罷工了，至少，今天不是這麼樣的贊同，雖然單純地很牽拖。
