I did not read about any news that Windows Mobile 6 (WM6) for my D810 is already available, but I see a new link in the Dopod Asia member's page.

Besides D810, the WM6 ROM is also available for 838Pro and P800w. Make sure you upgrade yours!

Normally, when you see a long list of pingbacks in your email, you know the spam filter is not working again. So, I thought somebody has managed to break the Spam Karma 2 algorithm. Look at my Gmail inbox:

I was very surprised when I know that they are not spams! Somebody actually has some spare time to review my blog and sent all those pingbacks from one single post. After reading the review, I can't really conclude whether it's a positive or negative review (Or simply just trying to make fun of my blog). Anyway, thanks to Nice4Rice for spending time to research on me and my little blog. At least, I know there are people out there who read my blog.

...maybe I need an "about" page for them who are interested about my personal stuffs.

After developed a small system, I find it hard to keep track all versions of my source files, especially when there are bug fixes and enhancement requests. I have to create a whole new folder to keep track all changes in the past to allow me rollback to a specific version that I need. I'm sure there are version control system that could help me. In my day work, my company is using SCCS/CSSC but it requires Linux environment.
I asked my friends who do programming in Windows environment for suggestions. Most of them confirmed that CVSNT is the thing I need.
There are lots of good and detail guide out there to setup CVSNT, but I there is none that is simple and straight forward, or it's probably too complicated for my simple mind. Let me try to put up a simple guide, with my own experience.

As far as I know, the built-in compressed zip folder function in Windows XP does not provide any command line tools. To zip a folder using batch script or command line, one can install command line tool provided by 7zip.
It can be done with installation of whole 7zip package or just use an executable file provided by 7zip. I prefer the latter option.
Download the "7-Zip Command Line Version" from 7zip download page and unzip it.
Use the following command to zip a folder:
7za a -tzip <archive-name> <folder-name>
e.g. 7za a -tzip test.zip "New Folder"
Although this seems to be quite useless to be run in command line, but it's extremely useful if you need to create batch script to automatically zip a folder. For my case, I need it to zip a folder and FTP it to a server. By this way, I can backup a folder to server without having to consider the recursive FTP upload problem.
