It is great and easy to share events among family or friends. But I wonder how many of my friends heard about RSS and know how to read it… more education needed.

Later in the morning I will goto Genting Highland with my collegemates. It is the second time we goto Genting Highland for our annual trip - TARC1999 Genting Trip 2004 (TARC1999 is our community group name).

Why Genting Highland again? Well, because one of the member has shares of Genting Highland, every year he will get some bonus coupons. Besides, Genting Highland is nearer(1 hour) and easier(traffic) to most of us.

This year we have 12 members, included 2 couples inside. Unlike last year, this time I go without gf… Anyway, the newspaper’s today horoscope says I(Leo) have high chance to meet my dream girl!

Hehehe…

Project Columbia, a collaboration with two technology giants, will mean Nasa’s computing power will be ramped up by 10 times to do complex simulations.

It will be one of the world’s biggest Linux-based supercomputers.

The new supercomputer will help the agency model flight missions, climate research, and aerospace engineering.

The system will have 500 terabytes of storage, the equivalent of 800,000 CDs. It will use the might of 10,240 Intel Itanium 2 processors for complex computer simulations.

Nasa said the supercomputer will help patch holes in its computing power limitations that were highlighted following the Columbia shuttle disaster in which seven astronauts were killed.
