Bioinformatics, New Field in The 21st Century

Introduction to Bioinformatics by Robert Jones -- Bioinformatics is the intersection of molecular biology and computer science. For software developers, it’s a fascinating area in which to work. Mac OS X is gaining popularity in this arena, and this article introduces you to the concepts and opportunities related to bioinformatics.

Biology and Computing technologies are the two crucial roles and hottest energies, whether in the routine daily life or in the industries, in the 21st Century. Bioinformatics, this combination of these two technologies, will us what and how the effects are. As a researcher, what we will bring to this new field and how to get the practical techniques from it apply them to other relevant researches so as to make difference to the development of technologies is not an easy and explicit topic to discuss.

The solution for File Uploading in ASP.NET

ASP.NET File Uploading by Budi Kurniawan -- File upload and download are much simpler tasks in ASP.NET than in classic ASP, thanks to the extensive .NET Framework class library. While file upload in ASP.NET is as easy as retrieving an HTML form value, file download is still a bit tricky.

Although I am not professional in the programing, I retain the strong interests in finding some solutions in the programing languages for the practical problems. This problem I met long before, but I did not find an appropriate solution for it, then I put it aside (actually this is not a good habit for a scholar!). Today I finally found the answer for it!

Sun's Amazing New Desktop Environment!

Let's face it - the desktop hasn't seen much in the way of inventive genius. The idea of simulating the top of a desk, with stacks of paper lying on a flat surface, is one that has stuck for over two decades. Its pervasiveness is hardly a result of mind-blowing design features.

The Project Looking Glass (must have RealPlayer for this DEMO) evolves the 2D paper paradigm so that windows displaying applications are no longer stacked upon each other with flat icons and buttons to represent them. Instead, they are viewed in a 3D environment - no cardboard glasses required - and manipulated as 3D objects. The project Looking Glass moves beyond the boundaries of the pedestrian 2D windowing environment and opens up a new frontier in the third dimension.

The initiatives of this project is not to extend this function to the Windows platform. It is intended to open a new world at all, a new and real environment to the virtual computing world!

Top 12 Ways to Degunk Your PC

Your PC, with its 80GB hard drive and 512MB of RAM, runs way too slow. Why? It's gunked up with pictures, movies, music, and attachments you've saved; you've saved stuff to the wrong places; and you have apps installed that you don't use. If you want to clean up your PC, and get it running as fast as it should, follow Joli Ballew and Jeff Duntemann's 12-step program for degunking your PC. Joli and Jeff are the authors of the bestselling Degunking Windows book, from Paraglyph Press.

In my opinion, the last tip is well worth mentioning and paying more attention for that, because it is so realistic that you can understand it explicitly, and it is also a simple reason to make your machine run faster when the hardware technologies advances more quickly than ever.

Research Direction: Ontology Management

My research will be around the fields and applications of Ontology Management. In my current view, knowledge technologies would be applied for the research.

Ontology is the core of knowledge technologies, which play an important role in the various applications in the knowledge fields. However, with the development of ontology, in order to be a mature and full-fledged technology which can be flexibly used in the application when needed, there are gradually some points and problems spotted out that becomes eager to be resolved immediately. This challenge attracts me strongly.

Combining with other technologies in the other computer science fields, such as knowledge technologies, web technologies, AI technologies, ontologies will be more vive and dynamic. And, these technologies will also bring ontologies more fresh air to develop.

I am still collecting the information sources about the field of ontology management. Welcome all kinds of comments from every fields about it.

What does Longhorn look like?

A First Look at Longhorn

Whether Microsoft will lead this new OS war in the new era this time is not important at all to our normal users. The most of importance is what Longhorn will bring us after Windows XP and how to solve out various problems to date, such as virus, spams and so on, in the new OS.Users expect that OS is stable, functional, safe and well compatible with future new technologies, finally beautiful user interface for the fashionable people. Althought I have not installed this version, I found through reading the review that Outlook Express in Longhorn do not support the Hotmail service any more until the lastest version released from Microsoft. That is a pity because I think this service is one of few advantages compared with Microsoft Outlook. I expect that the final release will include this serice eventually.

Presenting with PowerPoint: 10 dos and don'ts

We often use PPT to represent our thoughts and styles to others, but it is not so often to realise what is important and trivial for a powerpoint, and how the key points which we need to express deliver to the audiences. Looking at the papers from Microsoft and you will learn something from it!
