Learning English with Friends

I bought DVDs of Friends
How I learn is dictation.
1, watch an episode through.
2, dictate each sentences by doing stop and rewind.
3, correct the scripts with the subtitles.
4, watch the episode over over again, concentrate on the sentences I missed.

I hope it works. 

Our New Server

My old VAIO has been taken out, because the previous one had died by the lightning.

It has been carrying the role out somehow.

TRA2

I've eventually collected all documents I need for TRA and sent it to Canberra.

It took ages because of HR at the hotel.
They are so inefficient, inflexible and unflattering.
Well, it's all right now, I've done it.
What I need now is just waiting.
The outcome will come in a couple of month.

A Thunderstorm

It was thundershower on saturday.
Several lightnings struck really close from my place.
When the biggest one struck near by, I was in the living room, I saw an electric spark on one of the power outlets the PC was connected to.
Then, the PC was gone....

The dead PC and its power supply

I lately realized that the TV set box and the wireless router are dead as well....

Polar Cadence Sensor with Flat Battery















I've been using a Polar Hart Rate Monitor 'S 720i'
http://www.polarusa.com/Products/consumer/s720.asp
It's very clever one, it is also a cycle computer.
So it shows altitude and temperature, and cycling functions such as speeding, cadence, distance and so forth. on the top of it, it can be connect to my pc and download the exercise data into my pc!!
However, the battery of the cadence sensor has got flat, fortunately the battery is replaceable, so I just got a new battery and replaced them, it's working now, so cool!!
