Troublesome Adobe Acrobat Reader Updater

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

I've been using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 for quite a long time. The program had been prompting me to update it for months. I ignored it until today. I remember I ticked 3 components (without aware of what components are they) for update. It took not much time to download all the required files. After that, it prompted me to install the first component. Then, I was required to restart my PC. The same went to the second component. Luckily it didn't ask me to restart again for the third component!

Hey, Adobe, what's the matter with your updater? Do I really need to restart my PC twice to update my Acrobat Reader?

Use Gmail with Your Own Domain

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Google has just announced that they will be offering service for you to use your own domain email address on Gmail. This is interesting and I'll be glad to try it out. However, after a few searches in Google, I still can't find any additional information about the service other than those provided in Google blog and the "Gmail for your domain" site itself. You can add yourself to the beta testing list at the site if you are interesting.
