Thank you! (A voice from the heaven)

I am afraid only a few people can foresee the impact of the Taiwanese earthquake on our cyber-life; this includes the daily life of people as far away as those living on the other side of the globe. The poor Taiwanese not only suffered from the impact of the quake but also devastated by the telecommunication break down. (Hope they will recover very soon.) The modern day technology brings us many goodies and convenience, and we all take it for granted. Unfortunately we only appreciate it when we lose it; we seldom do so while we are enjoying it. (I guess this is part of our nature?!) Thus I would like to thank those telecommunication workers who brought the network back online after a disaster of this scale. You know, while we are having our second thought of our dependence on the telecommunication network, please don't forget the fact that this blog is likely to be transmitted over a satellite link for the time being.

吉姆進度 2

終於上完色，只差水貼就有功課交了。不過我還希望能夠依時完成隻 GM Custom，所以還未能夠鬆懈！

大鯨魚 X 2

前天在公司時已經見到這兩條大鯨魚游回軍塢，原來昨天已經上了報紙(上圖)！平時偶然也會見這些 Victoria Class 潛艇在公司的窗前來回(下圖)，但見兩艏就從未所見！據說不單止我未見過，其他加拿大人在這三十幾年來也未見過兩艏加拿大潛艇在同一水域出現！

下圖是軍塢中放了在陸上的另一條「大鯨魚」。
(據我媽媽的形容，這些維多利亞級潛艇的樣子似鯨魚，所以「大鯨魚」是由此而來。)

除了 Victoria Class 之外，曾經亦見過已經退役的 Oberon Class。(下圖)

黎明天光，不要癩尿！

這個星期趁 GM Custom 需要暫停工作一陣，所以在這期間把隻 GM Ground Type 噴上了顏色。雖然這部 GM 的武器配件未能在版聚前完成，但主體可以完成及見人，換言之版聚時總會有功課交！這是從一開始時就作兩手準備的好處！

Impotent no more!

Just gave my voice recognition Chinese writing tool a try and it worked reasonably well! In the last few weeks, it did not work well after I installed a wireless USB adaptor to my computer. I guess while the machine is running the wireless adaptor, it takes a lot of resources, and does not leave enough for the writing tool. Thus the recognition was absolutely unbearable! Being not able to "write" Chinese these days, I felt impotent
