星际2加速挖矿 StarCraft II 7% Mineral Boosting

有人发觉了挖矿的AI有问题。会有7%的延迟. 用AI采矿后矿工会停留一段时间才把矿运回基地。但是如果你用手动用Shift预先queue up挖矿(shift + right click on mineral)和运矿(shift + c)的热键, 你就可以略过AI（要一直重复）, 手动指挥矿工加多7%的资源。

高呼吧！现在开局不用闲着了.

草稿

一堆存放了很久的草稿

以前草拟的一些部落文章。一部分已经写了很久，有些却有种种的原因与借口一直搁着没完成。绝大部分是开了个头却想不到内容写下去。越写觉得越空洞所以就没写下去了。最近想选一部分以前留下的草稿写下去。就让读者以留言投票吧。

Still Learning MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle?

I had long thought that it was stupid to implement data consistency control at application layer when I first started coding with PHP and MySQL. Now, I notice that I wasn't that stupid at all, given that most relational databases are "optimized" and partitioned to allow intensive I/O and higher scalability... As a result relational databases became more like object databases which was introduced in the 80's.

As the web evolves, web applications becoming more and more demanding... Now web giants like Google, Facebook, Ebay and Digg are starting to drop relational databases and going back for non-relational storage solutions for better cloud computing. They called it as NoSQL.

As Instant as Google

As always, Google has been trying to make the search experiences more pleasant and user friendly since day one of the search engine development. There were numerous small changes being carried out through out the years. Most changes are hardly noticeable to normal users but the impact on performance and time spent per search are improving drastically. 

When we thought Google Suggest (predicts, suggest & auto complete the keywords as you type) is the best thing Google search can provide us, Google had just shown us an instant streamed search results as you type and almost as fast as you can think. Google Instant is new but it looks, behaves, feels so familiar with the old version. The improved user interface is silk, minimalist and smooth. 

Various UI elements on the Google Instant are fairy consistent. They don't get pushed to bottom as the search interface has a fixed width which I usually hate when dealing with dynamic changing interface. Thumbs up to the UI design team. The streamed results are predicting your input very well in most cases. Google claims that it reduces the total time per search by two to five seconds. What else can be as instant as Google?

乐高

Lego乐高砖块是我小时候最喜欢的玩具之一。大概在我两三岁时（虽然乐高有指定年龄但当时有妈妈看着），已经开始玩乐高。经过妈妈细心的引导下两岁的我已经能依照图表拼出较简单的乐高模型。妈妈也断断续续的买了好几盒小型(比较便宜)的乐高组合。开始时我还需要依赖图表才能把模型组装起来。
