I am still coding at this time
Nothing else to say. Keep on coding. Coding for a better life.
this blog is still active
I realize I already have more than half of year not updating anything.
It's said it's all downhill after 30's. I didn't notice how fast the time can fly by.
Disable windows search
Windows search sucks and can not be uninstalled anyway.
Finally I find the way to disable it completely.
Step 1. Open Start Menu >> Run, type service.msc
Disable service 'Indexing Service' and 'Windows Search'
Step 2. Unregister windows search dll, Open Start Menu >> Run, type cmd
Type regsvr32 /u "%programfiles%\Windows Desktop Search\wdsShell.dll" and process enter
Now, you have disabled the windows search and get the old xp search back when you type "Win + F".
The biggest failure of windows search is not its huge resource consuming but it forces its end user to search around the google to find out how to make it not work.
Never fight with user.

Setup Android dev environment on Debian X86_64
The android kenerl compile script require the x86_64 system. So I install the Debian X86_64 port on my dev desktop.
Follow the below steps to setup environment for Android sdk.
1) Install Sun Java SDK 64bit and ia32 JRE.
The 64bit Java is requried by the eclipse and the ia32 JRE is needed for running android sdk tools like android, ddms.
Since the Sun Java SDK is not free software, the contrib, non-free Debian repository are needed in the /etc/apt/source.list
For instance, my source.list is
deb http://mirrors.163.com/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirrors.163.com/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
Install the Java SDK and ia32 JRE with command:
# apt-get update # apt-get install sun-java6-jdk # apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin
2) For the convenience of running android sdk tools, the default jre should be ia32 JRE. Update the default JRE setting with Debian fashion:
# sudo update-alternatives --config java
Select the ia32 JRE for your default java.
3) Setup JAVA_HOME in .bashrc with the path to Java 64bit SDK for running ANT.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
4) Update eclipse.ini to run eclipse with Java 64bit JDK. And the below lines in eclipse.ini
-vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/bin/java
