I can’t do that…..
Their makings might be shaky and primitive, but their mind and body is free and energetic out there in the sky, while a huge number of so called “researchers” imprison their mind and body in the lab.
Hats off to the farmers.
i configured songweilab.com and zhxin123.com following this thread:

the trick is to use virtualhost.
both sites are in development, though.
laziness and fear
fear dictates you over your own mind.
laziness seduces you to follow others.
and by finger pointing to each other, they work perfectly well together. to the extent that a lot of people forget the existence of the third option.
and to make the situation even worse, one may harm himself by trying to completely eliminate the two.
fear prevents one from danger.
laziness helps one to focus on important matters.
maybe the ultimate enemy for one is always the breaking of balance.
and it’s getting harder each day to restore it in this crazy world.
luckily, i found some nice remedies along the way, like this one:
“emotional content, not anger!“
i’m not a believer of any religion, but sometimes i want to say this is my salvation.

“More than half the world’s population now own a phone” was a typical headline.
To give you some idea, in the time it’s taken you to read this paragraph, another 3,000 or 4,000 phones will have been sold.

I’ve got high hope on android, and the open mobile platform it is going to open. I tried to participate the competition myself with some of my classmates but it didn’t work out. Mostly because of the lack of spare time, I think. But never mind. We might get loads of inspiration from the prize winners as well. let’s go:
AndroidScan
Developer: Jeffrey Sharkey
barcode. it’s originated from Japan and widely used there. A good way to link everything to the net:)
BioWallet
Developer: Jose Luis Huertas Fernandez
iris authentication. I guess bio authentication would become mandatory for mobile devices
One discovery: most of the prize winning software are developed by small teams, with one or two members.
CallACab
Developer: Konrad Huebner, Henning Boeger
similiar apps: call the cop. call a wrecker. custom one button emergency signaling. you don’t need to check your position and do the meanless talking.
Commandro
Developer: Alexey Pisarev, Andrey Tapekha
track your friends’s location and status
CookingCapsules
Developer: Mary Ann Cotter, Muthuselvam Ramadoss
I’ve no interest in cooking. but the idea would be appealling to me if it could download standard multivideo how-tos from the internet. Yeah. pervasive just in time learning.
EmRadar
Developer: Jack Kwok
Always a good idea to put emergency alert on mobiles. Like earthquake alerts…
goCart
Developer: Rylan Barnes
Yeah. we always wish we could the average price on line when we came across something nice.
Barcode would be universal…
gWalk
Developer: Klaus ten Hagen, Christian Klinger, Marko Modsching,
Rene Scholze
personalized tours… I think we can also put this into the multimedia how-to directory. basicly my concept is a social networked ppt on the mobile devices.
IMEasy
Developer: Yan Shi
IM enabling collaboration on maps and paintings. Maybe we need to collaborate on more things.
Jigsaw
Developer: Mikhail Ksenzov
White board data capturing. Maybe folks can use it for books as well. But, actually we can just shoot a pic and do expensive photo processing on your server.
JOYity
Developer: Zelfi AG
Maybe we need to extend role play games to its literal meaning.
LifeAware
Developer: Gregory A. Moore, Aaron L. Obrien, Jawad Akhtar
I don’t like this kind of “tracking” apps, really. I think a major mistake in computer app design is to consume too much time, energy and privacy of the user. Who would like to be tracked all day like this? And who would be interested in knowing every little detail of the others?
Less is more. the computer age is maturing enough to get over the playing new gadagets as a toy period.
Locale
Developer: Clare Bayley, Carter Jernigan, Christina Wright, Jasper Lin
change setting automatically with location information.
Yeah. we need the mobile to be more intelligent.
LreadyEmergencyManager
Developer: Chris Hulls, Dilpreet Singh, Luis Carvalho, Phuong
Nguyen
emergency connection. yeah. emergency.
Phonebook2.0
Developer: Voxmobili
Although I don’t like status tracking, I would appreciate a phonebook that would display “don’t call me” status on it.
PicSay
Developer: Eric Wijngaard
maybe we need to add video support as well.
SafetyNet
Developer: Michael DeJadon
Oh… didn’t i just think of this one…
SocialMonster
Developer: Siu Lung, Ben Hui, Tommy Ng
....
We can actually do this on facebook. Why bother creating another here?
SynchroSpot
Developer: Shaun Terry
Location based alert: yes, this is much more flexible than time based alert.
Teradesk
Developer: José Augusto Athayde Ferrarini
File sharing between mobiles/mobiles and computers
WritingPad
Developer: ShapeWriter Inc.
not quite sure how powerful this is… But we do need more powerful input method on the mobile.
Ideas:
coordination schemes with location tracking, group im, or even video conferencing.
remember those strategy game? how about putting drag-select-communicate scheme to the im with map?
not much mobile/online server scheme. for me this is something that can tap the true power of the mobile system. do we have a ssh term on android???? hey it’s linux! But I still haven’t found it.
not many bluetooth apps. I really think opportunistic forwarding is a great way to know people around you.
a gpled mind graph software in java

Is this for real?
following this
key step:
1. set those environment variables anywhere before you start X11 server:
export XMODIFIERS=’@im=SCIM’
export GTK_IM_MODULE=”scim”
export QT_IM_MODULE=”scim”
2. start scim demean right before you start X11 server:
scim -d
example: my .xinitrc file:
export XMODIFIERS=’@im=SCIM’
export GTK_IM_MODULE=”scim”
export QT_IM_MODULE=”scim”
scim -d
fluxbox
