How to hide your circle in Google+
Friday, July 8, 2011
Google+
A week ago, Google introduced a new social product called Google+ (Google Plus). From what I read on the web since June 28, it sounded good. Someone said it maybe better than Facebook. Every technology sites I visited talked about Google+. It made me curious.
I did not social much but I love to learn a new thing. I love a new technology. I would like to experience Google Plus by myself. Yesterday, I posted on Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook to ask for the Google+ invitation. Today, I got one.
At first, I like it. It's looking good. At the start, you select the people you know into some pre-define circles: family, friend, acquaintance, following,... I made some extra circles for each group of friend. I thought Google+ is better than Facebook in one thing: the privacy. It seems to me the default settings of Google+ are private. In Facebook, the default settings are public, everyone. To maintain your privacy, you need to change you Facebook setting to private, friend only.
Now, I wonder can Google Plus beat Facebook? Anyone need a Google+ invitation?

Can Visual Studio 2010 Express connect to Team Foundation Server 2010?
Yes. Since Visual Studio 2010 Express does not include the Team Foundation Server or Team Explorer, you need to download its client version, Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010, from Microsoft web site.
I had a hard time in install Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 on my Windows Vista machine that already had ASP.Net MVC3. After installed VSTE2010 successful, it asked me to re-apply Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. When I ran VS2010 SP1 Maintenance, it looked for Microsoft® Silverlight™ 4 SDK. Microsoft® Silverlight™ 4 SDK alone did not work, it must be Microsoft Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010. The whole process was really time consuming and frustrated.
My second installation on Windows 7 64-bit was much easy. Straight forward. This machine did not have ASP.Net MVC3 and VS2010 SP1.

Back to Android
After more than six months away from Android programming, I'm back. During the past few months, I put my personal project: Develop an Android application, on hold in order to take care other high priority projects at work and family matters.
One of my resolution last year was develop a mobile application. It will be a show case of my skills. I'm moving from web applications to mobile applications. I spent a lot of time to read whatever related to Android programming. Reading is not enough. I need to practice and do a real work in order to master in something. Get your feet wet. Get hand-on experience. So, while I'm waiting for my car at dealer, I open my laptop, launch the Eclipse IDE and start programming. I switch back and forth between the Eclipse IDE and Google Chrome browser. Each time, I'm stuck with the code, I search for solution on the web. Developer.Android.com is a huge resource for Android programming.
I hope I will have my app ready to release to Android Marketplace in next few months. Yes, I'm hope. :)

64-bit Operating System
I'm not pay much attention to 64-bit operating system until few months ago. At that time, I needed to evaluate Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating System and tested our applications in that 64-bit operating system.
After I downloaded a trial copy from Microsoft site, I could not install it as a VirtualBox virtual machine on my 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. So, backed up my stuff before installed 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04 beta on my laptop to host 64-bit guest operating system. It still not work. I did some research on the internet, someone said need to enable virtualization in BIOS. My BIOS did not have it. According to the specification from Intel web site, my CPU did not have Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT). Too bad. I could not install 64-bit guest operating system on my current 64-bit PC.
Let not quit yet. Try VMWare Player. Same problem. I could not install Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit as a guest virtual machine.
This experience taught me a lesson: Your next PC should have virtualization technology. As I mentioned in my blog last month, my next PC will be a Mac. 15-inch MacBook Pro using quad-core Intel Core i7 processor. This CPU supports Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) along with many advanced technologies.
While waiting to acquire a new PC, I loaded Windows Server 2008 Standard (32-bit) on my 64-bit PC running 64-bit Linux Operating System to evaluation and test our applications. Below is the picture of my desktop:
Two virtual machines: Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Standard run on Ubuntu 11.04 desktop.

Worms in Fish
Few days ago, I received a forwarded email from a friend. It's a scary story. To learn more about worms in fish issue, I googled and found a lot entries regarding to "warning worm found in fish". It is an old news but new to me.
Here are some my findings:
An article from New York Times twelve years ago, May 1989: Raw Fish Warning
http://www.nytimes.com/1989/05/02/science/science-watch-raw-fish-warning.html
An article from Seafood Network Information at UC Davis in 1990: Parasites in Marine Fishes
http://seafood.ucdavis.edu/pubs/parasite.htm
A document from FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations): Round Worms in Fish
http://www.fao.org/wairdocs/tan/x5951e/x5951e01.htm
A video posted in YouTube in 2007:

So, I will say good bye to one of my favorite: raw sushi from now :(
