How to download streaming media
How to download internet streaming media file for offline use?
In order to download the files, you need to have a software, here to introduce a software called flashget (www.flashget.com).
Just download and install it according to the on screen instructions.
After that you can go to the streaming web site and get the link. For example go to RTHK (www.rthk.org.hk) Copy the link location (e.g. http://www.rthk.org.hk/asx/rthk/tv/hkheritage08/20080702.asx) and paste it (Ctrl-V) in FlashGet, then a box will be shown click ok it will download to the directory you stated in the box.
If the download did not start, try to change the link by started with rtsp:// instead of mms:// .
However it was found that it does not support youtube video. For youtube video, you can use free online service like http://keepvid.com/.
To play the FLV, use the flv player (downloaded from http://download.cnet.com/FLV-Player/3000-13632_4-10467081.html?part=dl-6277687&subj=dl&tag=button)

黃毅力 力筆從心：今天事，今天做
部份節錄:
"他們知道自己有問題，卻又束手無策；自己感到迷惘，又說找不到方向；認為自己已盡了力，但又得不到好結果；看完我的文章又說知易行難。所有問題背後也是病態上的心理問題，就是「拖延時間綜合症」(Procrastination) 。這英文字來自拉丁文，意思是For Tomorrow (明日才算)，從客觀心理學說，是意願與執行之間的一個大缺口。
許多人失敗不是不知自己有甚麼問題、也不是不能在我的文章中有所領悟、也不是這世界知易行難，當中最大關鍵是每個人都缺乏一種勇氣，一個「的」得起的心肝去改變去行動！"

整理PDF免費使用工具
如果大家要製做pdf，加頁﹑減頁﹑改變排版次序可能都要靠要俾錢買的adobe acrobat，其實係有freeware可以幫到手，今日就等我介紹一下。

用dos command line 去加減調，比較複雜，但做batch方便好多
2. gui version: http://www.angusj.com/pdftkb/
係一位有心人做了個GUI (Graphical User Interface)比大家用，功能同command line一樣，如果少量轉換，用佢好方便。
