I setup my blogger account and link to flickr.com long long time ago, but I never try out the function until today.

I can blog my photo in flickr and post it to blooger, just like what I am doing now, this is great!

Wh don't google buy flickr, but yahoo did? I hope this function will not be taken out.

Some blogger put in their blogs. Is just a few clicks, you can generate you own flickr badge, then paste the code (generated by flickr) to you html page, just that easy.

You can choose different style and layout for your badge, eg. html/flash, vertical and horizontal... Is easy just try it yourself and have some fun.

PS. Since blogger don't allow script tag, I have hard coded the pictures, if you direcly paste the code from flickr, the picture will be randomly displayed when the webpage is refresh.

Everything is just something

I found out I can use my Gmail web site to send instant messenger to Google Talk application. If the browser support Macromedia flash, it will show you the chat option on the Gmail web page.

Google talk in Gmail

I find it interesting, but my friend told me, is nothing excited, his colleague can send message to MSN through web too.

I told another friend, skype bought by eBay for 2.6 billion. My friend told me, skype is just VoIP and peer to peer technology, is nothing special.

I told the other friend, watch out for Alibaba.com because it has a lot of potential. Then he told me, Alibaba.com is just online Yellow Pages... Ya I think Google is just search engine, AdWords is just online advertisement.

ICQ is just instant messenger acquired by America Online for $287 million USD in cash.

hotmail is just webmail sold to Microsoft for $400 million USD.

I think these 'is just' company is worth look into it.

Why working so hard every day but still complaining, invest in stock market for extra income? and not working on something which is just something and sell it to those cash rich company? Simply they are not just something.

Palm TX hack, add microphone

This is an old news(November 2005), but sound interesting to me.

A Palm OS programmer Dmitry Grinberg, hack the Palm TX hardware and add a microphone to it. Check it in palminfocenter. there is a video you can download from here(avi, 4.2MB). Don't know how true it is.

So you can't run a skype on Palm TX because it don't even have a microphone build in.
