adopt a blog

March 31, 2004 Dodo14 Comments

in response to china’s second major block on blogging service typepad.com (last time is to blogspot.com and it’s still blocked), someone came up with the idea of adopt a blog to promote freedom of speech. the idea is simple. if you own a private domain, you can host those blogs that are blocked. that way… Continue reading adopt a blog

stop all the banning

March 26, 2004 Dodo10 Comments

by changing the background of my site to black i’m joining the protest against china’s banning on personal websites. All typepad.com and blogs.com hosted sites are banned in China starting this morning, a week after China has agreed to amend its constitution to respect human rights. This is another move by the Central government to… Continue reading stop all the banning

imperfect google

March 24, 2004 Dodo10 Comments

as i’ve argued before, google’s algorithm is imperfect.. here’s another discussion of its down side. the search results as well as the news results (since on their faq page they said the news follows the search algorithm closely) are ranked by page ranks.

cleartype and drop shadow don't mix

March 19, 2004 Dodo8 Comments

While surfing around the internet, sometimes you may come to a website with appearantly nasty looking, unreadable fonts.. well, let me guess, you are probably using IE and that the designer has probably used dropshadow filter in their css for their fonts. why is that? this is because you have cleartype turned on for your… Continue reading cleartype and drop shadow don't mix
