IE6 Countdown
It is too good to hear news from Microsoft take the active step in enforcing the development of web by putting off IE6. For normal web surfer they may not know why having such act, but for web developer it is really a gospel. IE6 brings us a lot of hard time during web development due to its non-web standard interpretation of web page, pool JavaScript engine, lack for developer-friendly debugging tools and poor handling for image, CSS.
Having IE6 to share smaller portion of the web market help business decision-maker no longer thinking 'we should support IE6 for our company' web page meanwhile aim at applying fancy effect to their website while IE can hardly run them perfect.
Well, it is actually not only IE6, but some other browser which also not following web standard for web page rendering should also be put off from the market gradually in he future. So that let more fancy web effects to be executed on best performing browsers.

이별의 맛 & Be pretty – Color of the City
在網上隨意搜尋間，看到一組韓國 MV，敘述一段兩個人的故事。滿有都市人的味道。可惜不太知道這兩段MV的製作因由，網上找不到相關的製作新聞為介紹呢~

牛刀小試 iPhone Obj-C programming
從聽聞寫 iPhone app 來賺錢有可為之後，便期待盡可能找來一台 Mac 機開展 iPhone app 的開發之路。然而，一台 Mac 機的價值不斐，直到轉了新工作，因應工作需要，被賞賜了一台 MacBook Pro，並且得到允許，借回家使用。
星期天花了大半天，在網上網羅了許多不同的教學文件、免費電子書，圖文並茂，有一點眼花瞭亂。幸好自問還算有點編程底子，看著看著把以往編程的概念轉個角度看看、想想，還算能應付理解。
手上第一個 iPhone App 並不是由零開始編寫，而是由外判公司為公司所製作的 iPhone prototype 副本，嘗試進行些小改和 bug fixing。藉這一過程，初嘗了使用 XCode，改動 Objective C 的程式碼、編譯和運行 iPhone Simulator。當看到程式被我改動後仍然「生還」，在simulator中呈現，心底無限亢奮。
當然，這一編程路的故事只是開始。對 Obj C 的認知仍然只屬皮毛。這一初試其實還得感謝一位同事的一些起始指導，還有上司提供機會讓我去作出這一嘗試。真的希望一天不只有二十四小時，能給我多點時間和精神，讓我鑽研這一技能多好呢~
網上有一個港人的網誌有一些其開發 iPhone app 的分享，是一個對 iPhone App 編程有好奇的人來說一份不錯的起始指導：http://eddyl.com/blog/

Wow, and now, I would like to introduce myself into the world of Gordon Chan:
Gordon Chan is a Web Developer who keen on exploring the possibility of web authoring with passion on making the world of website to be better suit for various clients and visitors' need.
For the last 12 years, I start building website using FrontPage Express, FrontPage, and later on using Adobe Dreamweaver, or even just Notepad2 for web authoring, I can see how the world of web development change. I cannot say I can bring any new technology advance, I can at least make use of new techniques with standard code style so as to make good works and let visitors to have fun in my works. And now it comes to the time that I start using my name as the brand for my works, and hope in the up-coming future people will know more about me, not a film director/doctor/agent or designer, but a specialist, web developer.
