Cui – On My Way

Currently I’m pretty eagerly looking forward to the release of Wordpress 3.0. You know why? Because I’m gonna make some adjustments to this site which I prefer to be done by the new 3.0.

To be exact about the changes, First I’ll transfer my previous(and future,actually) posts on Cui’s Space to a sub-domain of this site say: zh.cuimengsuo.com(You ask how? Well, don’t worry, that’s already been taken care of). Then I’ll add two more sub-sites here: rong.cuimengsuo.com for my wife who’s gonna write something she’s interested there; and tao.cuimengsuo.com for my lovely swearheart daughter Taotao where all her previous photos would be placed(most likely it would be a job of redirection to the current gallery).

Now you see the core part of my need is the support to multiple blogs in the same and one and current Wordpress installation(you know I’m lazy to find another solution), which is exactly what I can benefit from the merge of  the Wordpress and Wordpress MU. And I know the release date is in Apr. 2010. Most importantly until now I know the development is still on schedule through this official report.

And I’m counting down.

I’m a fan of Firefox all along, at least in the desktop side. And I do wish one day I could have a Firefox mobile version in my iPhone, for a long time.But Apple has turned my down on this already.

I’m  not saying how poor the built-in default Safari browser behaviors in the iphone, actually it does do a pretty good job in stability and user interface. However, since I’ve been already benefiting much from the plugin mechanism that Firefox desktop edition supports for a while, I know Safari could be able to possibly do a better job.

Giving customer  more choices is not always a bad thing. Good product wins in the end, I believe. Time proves. Obviously in this point, Apple disagrees.

Now comes Opera Mini iPhone edition. But Will Apple approve it?(ZDNet), though iPhone owners may likely embrace it for its 5 improvements(PCWorld).

I hope the answer is yes, but I doubt, really. Wait and see.

Anyway, I’ve give you some alternatives. If you need WAP browsing, file downloading and some other things, please install UCWeb, a popular mobile browser developed by a Chinese company UC. If you can’t read Chinese, please try Wapzilla, MyMedia instead.

As reported(Chinese),  people can watch the coming 2010 CCTV Spring Festival Gala on their iPhone by CNTV’s CCTV Mobile iPhone application, which I’ve talked before.  Screen shot above is captured at the time of writing.

Though the report did mentioned that Apple has agreed to give this application a big recommendation on its homepage(no clue on exactly which one, apple.com? apple.com.cn? AppStore or somewhere else?), at least until now I haven’t seen it on neither of them.

Anyway, if you are not be able to watch this traditional party show via TV or PC, perhaps you can give this application[iTunes Store] a try, though personally I’ve been spending less and less time on the gala year by year.

A piece of important news in the mobile field,  though not related to iPhone but does attract my attention:  Symbian becomes open source now(by phonescoop). Check out the offcial FAQ and Get Started then.

Good news to all of the Symbian developers who wanna know more about the very complicated platform. How complicated, you ask? Well, 33 million lines of codes may give you an idea.
