Cygwin and X61

What a beautiful day today.

I received my battery from Hong Kong and have my x61 works again.
Actually it works always except the battery. Now I got my battery
and that's great for about au$50. Seems it last for 3 hours in
WIFI network with low system load.

I got Putty-cyg system run on my computer now today. It simply works.
That's great. I hate M$'s ugly command prompt, as well as its PowerShell system.
I don't know why M$ doesn't release a better one. It's not difficult for them
in terms of technology. They just neglect the requirements from the users.

The website for puttycgy is here:

Background Thread at Google App Engine

In Google App Engine, you could not easily start a thread and make it works at the background.

A simple Thread.start() API call will cause an Exception like this:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission modifyThreadGroup)

But you can use the experimental TaskQueue API to start a task in the queue.

Trying jappstart

Not bad.

Got My Android G1 Back to Live

My G1 has only 192MB memory, which is not suitable to run multiple Java program at the same time, I think. I left the phone there for several months, because I could not bear the speed when switching between applications.

Yesterday, I just took it out and tested it again with some new programs. It worked just fine for me. Especially after I installed a process killer tools. That's great!

People say, at least people from Google say, Android 2.2 is much faster than the previous versions. I would like to test. The only available version of Android 2.2 for G1 is from XDA forum, which is not complete yet. I have to wait or just buy a new phone. It's expensive in Australian gadget market. Just wait.
