My first language is Korean. All programming languages are in English.
All of sudden, I came to this thought that how non-English developers will learn programming language which is not based on their mother language.
Before you process model diagram, some ppl would write pseudo code. For English speaking developer, it should be fairly easy comparing to non-English developers. Also understanding what it says, they can put their idea into logical order.
When I saw this picture from yahoo, I thought it was real.
Whoever did this piece, he did a really good job.
(Note: I don’t stand against any presidential candidates. I just felt that this photoshop work was awesome.)

Is Microsoft trying to be another stylish hardware company like Apple? But it’s cool too see they are coming out with very cool looking mouse. I wish they made cases for the computer as well.
I’d like to share with a css trick that I recently discovered accidently.
It’s called “text-overflow”. How many times have you created and used a script that truncate overflown statement and add “…” to the end of it?
But IE has css property, text-overflow, and it will make your life lot easier.
Here’s an example:
See how beautifully it truncated!
Note: you should be using <nobr> in order for text-overflow to work.
I’ve decided to begin advanced eduacation by enrolling in master degree. This is going online since I’m a fulltime employee (40 hours a week or sometimes even more)
My major is System Design and Programming(Engineering), which will learn Internet and Web business applications. It sounds like this is what I do every day in my work place; however, what I pursue is a formal measurement which employers or clients can see. Of course I wouldn’t say degree won’t matter in IT industry, but it sometimes does. This is how I feel about higher education degree.
If you are interested in the same school I’m going to, drop me a message then I will let you know.
By the way, I installed Win XP SP2 today and it seems all right so far. 
Also check this out too.
What I like this about is that it can access and modify xml elements, attributes, and nodes directly just like FlashVar class does.
Anyways, it’s Standard ECMA-357 and its specification is at the link
But isn’t this re-inventing another wheel? We already have xpath which does very similar things that they suggested. And also xpath has come close to version 2.0 and it’s considered and called *standard*. Why ECMA Internation organization accepts standard xpath and implement it into ecma scripting language for the sake of standard??
Or is xpath considered to be an core part of ECMA-357 and is it just a way to change how we write and use XML in ECMAScript language?
I’ve used couple extensions on Flash MX 2004, which made my life miserable without them.
Here’s a list of extensions that I need when I use Flash MX 2004:
1. Reset Transformation Position
2. Pixel Tools
3. ASO Command
Those three extensions are absolutely necessary for me.
When you select a row/rows in dataGrid component in flash mx 2k4 and want to clear it, all you need is *selectedIndex* property of dataGrid component.
myDataGrid.selectedItem = null;
// This will clear out all selected rows.
I actually struggled to find it out, but it turned out to be that easy.
This is a guy called “Jamie Cullum”, Jazz artist.
His music gave me more interests to jazz. It does not sound like as traditional jazz as Louis Armstrong’s. More I listen to his, more I like it. His music is at iTune music store so why don’t you try to listen to his?
I’ve created new look and feel for the weblog.
How would you think the new site looks?
I was trying to keep it simple and clean, but also more traditional and conservative. Menus on the left column do not work at this time. I will add contents to each menu later on so keep coming!!!
