The Geeky Junkyard of kingler

It seems everyone is following Gmail now. Pretty soon, we will see Gmail Beta, Yahoo Mail Beta, Windows Live Mail Beta all in a dog fight. Although I like the simple interface in Gmail, but I would definitely try out Yahoo! Mail beta if I got an invitation (anyone?). Take a look at a Y! Mail bate review here.

The following is a trick to get the beta for your MSN/Hotmail account:

1. Copy the following link and open it in your browser (Only IE supported!)

Link

2. Sign in your hotmail account

3. Copy/Paste the link again and you should get to a page where you can click on a button labeled “Join Mail Live”

4.Enjoy (All the new features are only supported in IE, but you will see a new interface in Firefox ,though.)

After upgrading to SP3, my Matlab codes simply stopped working. By looking into the error, I found out that it is a bug that existed in version 6 but was later fixed in version 7 (sp1, sp2).

Exact Steps and Code to Reproduce Bug:
test = zeros([402653185,1],'uint8');
% It worked if you change to 402653184


Error Messages:
??? Error using ==> zeros
Maximum variable size allowed by the program is exceeded.


Anyway, the Matlab support team gave me a workaround: create two matrix of smaller sizes and concat them together.
test1 = zeros([3e8,1],'uint8');
test = [test1 ; test1];
clear test1;


For me, I don’t want to modify all my codes, so I had to revert back to R14SP2. Hopefully the next version of Matlab could fix this bug.

The wait is over.
WORDPRESS 2.0 is available for downloads at wordpress.org .
I will post back after the update on my sites. Can’t wait to see all the new features in action.
