7th March 2010 , Super duper triple hot Sunday

A day before woman day … a day where I was “enjoying” the Sunlight….

汽水 , Carbonated Drinks , 又或者人称之“荷兰水” ，一直以来，我，都是很少很少喝的。。。甚至是 “Pop 天然有汽矿泉水” , 我也只喝过那么的一次。话说回来，为何叫 “荷兰水” 呢？ 汽水是荷兰 (Nederland) 出产的？ 谷歌和百度了一下。。。原来，汽水是英国人的发明。

那么， 为何叫 “荷兰水” 呢？Well，“荷兰水” 此名起源于上海滩，后来传入内地。“荷兰水”，说白了即为薄荷水。薄荷水的制作过程十分简单。选料好的是用一点薄荷油，掺兑一定比例的糖精、香精和冷开水即成。一些唯利是图的小贩则土法上马，用产于里下河一带的薄荷叶子榨成的汁，掺兑一定比例的糖精、香精和水。因薄荷有清凉、解渴、生津、去署等作用，故喝在嘴里满口清香、沁人心脾。。。Arhhh。。。 （欲知详情，可游览到http://bkso.baidu.com/view/338189.html?fromTaglist ）

好了，汽水 ， Carbonated Drinks ，“荷兰水” 。。。这几个星期，我的确是喝了不少的哦。。。“嗝!”  超超超超超热的天气， 喝了一杯又一杯加满了冰块的 “荷兰水” 。。。Arhhh。。。是多么的爽 ， “High”的    Well, 我喝的是 100 号，或称 100 加 （100 Plus） 和立威  (Revive) 。

Hmm… 100 号 或者是 力威也好，它们也是 Isotonic Drinks 哦。 什么是 Isotonic Drinks  ？ 我也不知道，只知道，听了想喝多几口。 欲知 Isotonic Drinks 是什么咚咚 ，可参考 http://www.planet-science.com/text_only/outthere/foodtech/isotonic.html

21st April 2009, Tuesday, Rainy

Since  Sunday night, I have been coughing hardly, again.

I have sucked dozens of the Strepsils cough lozenges but the cough was just not stopping at all. I have tried the cough medicine , Xepa’s Sedilix®-DM Linctus which usually healed my cough situation previously, but it did not help.

Yesterday, Monday, after worked, I rushed to seek help from doctor and prepared for MC (medical certificate). I took the medicine and it did not relief my cough at all. Anyway, I slept soundly after taking the medicine as the medicine for healing cough usually cause dizziness.

Today morning, I thought I should be fine. Wow, the first thing I did when I woke up is cough. I hence applied for MC. Hmm, what to to….I then went to the pharmacy nearby. The pharmacist suggested me 1 of the medicine. The “ingredients” are as below:

===

Each 5 ml contains:

Bromhexine HCl               ……….. 4.0 mg

Dextromethorphan HBr ……….. 15.0 mg

Preservatives:

Methyl Paraben  ………..0.09 % w/v

Propyl Paraben   ………..0.03% w/v

Ethanol                 ………..5.32 v/v

Indication:

For relief cough associated with  reduction of sputum viscosity

===

I took the medicine. Yes, it did cause dizziness and sleepiness as Xepa’s Sedilix®-DM Linctus , but , it has stopped my cough.  Wow, this cough syrup works !

Xepa’s Sedilix®-DM Linctus  ‘s “ingredients” are as below:

===

Each 5ml contains:

Dextromethorphan HBr ……….. 15.0 mg

Promethazine HCl ……….. 3.125 mg

Pseudoephedrine  HCl ……….. 30 mg

Parabens 0.125 % w/v as preservative.

===

I compared both cough syrups and it looks like ‘Bromhexine HCl ‘ has cured my cough. Well, I don’t know what it is; as googling around, so far as I know, its full name is ‘Bromhexine Hydrochloride’ and its chemical formula is C₁₄H₂₁Br₂ClN_{2  .}It usually used for treating chronic bronchitis.

I am kind of person who feel “guilty” if get rest too much. I had then took this “free time ” to cancel my Streamyx and TMNET 1515 accounts. Besides, I had also fixed the telephone jack and installed 1 pendaflour light in the house.

Feels a bit dizzy and sleepy no w  a f t e r   t a k i n g   t h e   c o u g h    s y r u  p .

Zzzz

10th April 2009, Friday, Not remember how the climate was

I had signed up a free Personal E-mail Certificates account with Thawte 2 or 3 years ago. I have not used the certificate for some time. 2 or 3 days ago, I requested the new cerficate from Thawte , again . After that, there were 2 emails sent from Thawte:

1. The first one is sent with subject “Certificate Requested”. It is just a welcome message.

2. The second one is with Subject “Thawte Personal Cert Issued” , providing the link to get the certificate, which can be installed into Mozilla Thunderbird.

Once I clicked on the link, there is a dialog box prompted, asking for username and password of the Thawte account. After keyed in, the Mozilla Firefox had prompt me to download a file called “mycert.spc” . I had tried to install it on Thunderbird, but fail to. I wondered what this could be wrong, and how come last time I was able to install it easily in Windows XP .

Oh yes ! The point is last time, I had successfully installed the Thawte certificate into Thunderbird with Windows XP’s terminal, and this time, I did it in Windows Vista. Hmm, I googled around then to check if there are any issue for installing Thawte personal email cerficate into Mozilla Thunderbird in Windows Vista . I then found a great help from http://www.heypete.com/pete/secure/certs/smime/thawte/firefox.html

Yes, in Vista, there might need to have the Mozilla Firefox to run into Windows XP compatiblity mode. For more details on doing that, you migth refer to http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/ . After that, log in into the thawte account to get the certificate. This will automatically import the certificate into Mozzila Firefox . Then , you might export the certificate out from Mozzila Firefox and import it into Mozilla Thunderbird.

For more details steps, might refer to http://www.heypete.com/pete/secure/certs/smime/thawte/firefox.html

Yes, finally, I had successfully installed Thawte Personal E-mail Certificate on my Mozilla Thunderbird email account

28th Feb 2009, Saturday , Erm… I feel no senses on the climates, I was thirsty, that all I can remembered

Howdy all ! Have you ever experienced scenario where when copying large or huge files , after waiting until 99% completed, then the process was fail and stated something related on CRC (Cyclic redundancy check ) ? What is CRC, may refer to this link or this link .

I have actually faced this kind of scenario several times . What I would do previously were going to get the files from the original sources again, usually from my friends again to my external hard disk.

Around last week, I encountered the same scenario again. I have copied a file size around 2 GB to my external hard disk.It is an ISO image. I wanted to copy it to my desktop’s hard disk. I was copying the file and it took several hours to be completed and my desktop was hang during the transfer. Until the copy finished until around 99%, it failed. Yaiks ! What to do…. I have tired to experience this, hence I tried  to search around online to check if possible to fix the file which has CRC error. I then found this, a simple application called, JFileRecovery

With few simple clicks, I manage to fix the CRC errored file and had it copied from my external hard disk to the desktop’s hard disk. Cool! Yo! Thanks JFileRecovery ! You have ease up some part of my life . Here is your picture
