I found some interesting color chooser softwares. The most important point is that they are all free. Now I use them (actually I only use two of them because although their functinalities are not completely identical, but extremely similar) to develop this site. If everything are smooth going, I will use these tools to develop all web sites in the future. There are many projects (maybe I will think it should be called a few at a later date) on my hand. And I'm not fimilar with Dreamweaver (oh, this software isn't free) all the time, it's a good timing to learn it again. I want to study these web developing tools, and the first step, I use the web pages as my jotter. There should be some projects (themes) on this site:

• Exercising reflections about CBN (Color By Numbers) Assistant.
• Exercising reflections about Color Explorer.
• Operating tips of Dreamweaver.
• The concept of harmonious colors.
• ...

Those are just an ideal. I think this is also a good time to heighten my pool English ability. Maybe I will write a article about Dr.eye (a translation software). After all, this is a test site for me to practice many many things. Don't expect it to be a general sites you can touch every day. I'll try to make this site the best good looking, but there is no a sublime theme in it. What I focus on is other than the content of this site. But I still like you to give me some comments and advices. Enjoy sightseeing on my web pages, and you can contact my by clicking here.

  • Facimile is now going to 1.1.2. I'll add it to the menu area later.

  • The document of CDBrowser is added into this site. Click here to see that document. This software is a directory-lister which can list all the directories and files under a specific path recursively. It can list out each directory size, and has some other functinalities to help burning softwares. Its current version is 1.1, and supports two languages: Traditional Chinese and English. There is only half of Chinese document available, I'll replenish it someday.
  • I'm looking for some HTML codes of menu and tutorial. Of course, it needs Java Script and I don't think over any CGI at all. When I find a best one (or, a qualified one), I'll show it on this site.
  • See my tutorial model below.
    

    This is the first slide content.

  • If you are interesting in read or write image files (such as: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, and so on) with Java, you can go this site List of Java libraries to read and write image files. I believe that you will get a bumper crop.

  • Facsimile 1.1.0 is now released. Its main functionality is help me to learn JTree. I suggest you to read this tutorial How to use trees, if you want to learn about JTree. All links in that tutorial are worthy to read, too.
  • You can see the developing document about Facsimile here. I know it has some bad links now, and the feelings of its colors is different with the main site. I'll adjust those soom.

  • I have no idea about a good news or a bad news it is. If I use border layout in Java, there is no more reason to use DSizable. Althought I see the brief introduction about the layout system in Java, but I thought it is so worn-out and hard to use. That a big mistake! If you have ever written a HTML file, you will know the discursive table contructing rules. But it works will, at least now. You can use the same mechanism in Java's border layout. I'll go deep to understand other layouts in Java and find a best one.
  • Grid-bad layout is also a good one, but it's too complex to use. My suggestion is that, if you are fimilar with HTML tables, to use border layout is a better choice. If you don't like too much redundant panels and your layout is really complex, use grid-bad layout.
  • It is vary easy to implement a tree view in Java, if you understand all these classes. Let me list them below: JTree, TreePath, TreeNode, MutableTreeNode, DefaultMutableTreeNode, TreeModel, DefaultTreeModel, TreeExpansionListener, TreeWillExpandListener, TreeExpansionEvent, and ExpandVetoException. There are some I didn't list out, and some of above are similar. To sum up, the whole mechanism is very complex, but if you know how to use, there are only a few codes need to construct by yourself.
  • After a short time, I will put some Java tutorial and documents up. And I wrote some classes to wrapper some Java's standard classes for easily using. Their documents will be put, too.

  • Using Java to construct a comforting UI is still a hard thing for me. I try to use JSplitPane, JTree, and JTable together. But there are many scrappy details which are far from MFC which I used to use.
  • I transplant DSizable form MFC to Java. This is not a difficult task. But there are some scrappy things vexed me. I don't know the layout concept in Java, neither about the constrains concept. I use null layout to implement my Java version DSizable. This may be a ugly code. And I don't know how to cause some kind of panels to redraw their contents. I think I should ask somebody rather than mmerse myself in blindly studying.

  • It's really hard to use pure C to implement some object-oriented concepts, even if there is no inheritance and no overloading. That is, only modulizing is a difficult task. The research topic of the laboratory I study in is Data Mining. For these research, I write a project, Machine Learning. You can see the developing document here. Because this is a experimental program, there are many options, testing sub-functions in it. Sometime I use one part of them, to see if a new algorithm is better. And sometimes, I must use a older and more stable sub-function. All these combinations are annoying. The most stupid thing is that I write this project using pure C language. When I can't to stand this, I will change it to a C++ project, but unfortunetely this transformation is a big job.
  • I create a Styles folder, cause there are many styles which could be installed to this site. If you want to see how I construct these styles, click here. There are several common basic options in these style files. They are: body (text/background color), link (normal, visited, active), title (text/backgrond color), menu (background color), and footer (backgrond color). I'll add more options if needed in the future. more...

• Do you see the image at the top right side? I use a animation-generating software, Flash Cam, to add the dialog on that. Of course, there are many heavyweight drawing softwares can do this. But they are too fat. The other reason I use Flash Cam is that now I try to bring up a procedure to generate a tutorial rapidly, and this is the main capability of Flash Cam. I wonder as less softwares installed on my computer as it can be. By the way, I recommand a screen-shot software, Snag It, which has many amazing functionalities.
• A new theme, MMS, is added into my notes. You can see that t heme by clicking here. MMS is the Multimedia Messaging System. It is the evolution of SMS, the Short Messaging System, a system for sending and receiving short text-based messages. SMS has proven to be a wildly popular feature of 2G GSM networks. MMS is the next generation upgrade for SMS in 3G networks. However, MMS does not require a 3G network. MMS can function under a 2G or 2.5G network, and handsets and networks that support MMS are expected by the end of 2001. more...
• I create a template for inserting pages into this site quickly.
• The last update time is created by Java Script now.
• I decide that the latert daily muttering, the upper position it sit.

  • I decide to replace HTML styles with CSS styles in Dreamweaver. Because if I want to change some features of any type of entity such as title, section, content, and so on, how to apply these changes to those I have had applied entities? Of course, using HTML styles has some benefities. But at least right now, I feel the CSS styles is better.
  • I try to insert some images into page content. Actually, I think if I set the attribute, align, of each image to right, it seems looking good. I needn't to use some complex HTML syntax or CSS statements, just one attribute, everything is done.
