MSN 9.0 去廣告

MSN 9.0 正式版(Build 14.0.8050.1202) 使用 A-Patch 的去廣告破解無效,在網路上找了一下,有人提供自已修改 DLL 內容的破解法,方式如下:

: 用Hex Editor 軟體開啟C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msgsres.dll
: 左邊的offset往下拉,找到9E39A0
:                     不是9E39A6哦!!會找不到的
: 找到9E39A0之後
: 9E39A0那一行後面找到一串連續的號碼-> 02 00 02 08 02 00 02 03
:                           依序改成-> 04 FF FF FF FD 07 00 0B

我使用 Notepad++ 加上 Hex Editor Plugin, 不過找不到 02 00 02 08 02 00 02 03,於是直接跳到 offset  9e39a0,發現可能是我先用 A-Patch 的關係,值已經被改掉了,只是並非網路上提供的值,其中一個 Byte 不一樣,我的值是 04 FF FF FF 3F 07 00 0B,把 3F 改成 FD,再重開 MSN 就不會看到討厭的廣告囉。

Memory in Australia Working Holiday - Victoria Park and Casino(2008-08-12)

Since last time to Fremantle, me, Paula, Pauline and Lai are play mate now, this weekend, we are going to picnic in Victoria Park with Pauline's house mates, 2 Korean guys and one Taiwaness girl.

There is one funny thing when we are in bus station, we ask service counter how to go to Victoria Park, an officer ask us where are we going in Victoria Park, what are we doing there? We feel strange, Why do we have to tell him what are we doing there and what does he think people will do in a park? Anyway we couldn't get an answer, officer just give us a direction and we have to find out by ourselves.

One day in the future, we finally realize why do him ask those questions, Victoria Park is not a park, it's a name of a suburb. All right, in Taiwna, we never call a place "park" if it's not a park and I think neither does Korean, because they don't understand why the officer says that either.

At least we find a park beside Swam River, although we spand more than 30 minutes to find it. Although we went pass it and never thought about it would be the place we want to go. But we are there at least.



Before we go, in front of Pauline's share with her house mates.



















That's the park in Victoria Park beside Swam River, actually, it's a belt of green area along Swam River, families have BBQ, kids play around here.




















Swam River, pelicans swim causually, in Taiwan, we can see pelicans in zoo only, so I'm excited to see so many pelicans.




















Let's begin picnic, we prepare sandwich, salad and lots of food.




















After picnic, we play some games like kids, games we haven't played for a long time. It's funny, remind me my childhood.




























Climb on the tree, nice shot, isn't it?


A crazy dad think it's fun and give his daughter to Rebecca on the tree.The crazy family...........



The lovely kid try to steal our drink.
I like these two trees

An art work of train, we pretend we are on the train.
Someone made a heart with petals, lovely.
The building behind us is InterCity Hotel, and casino is just beside it. After picnic, we visit the casino, it's my first time being in a casino, gambling is illegal in Taiwan. I win $20 this time, not bad.

Memory in Australia Working Holiday - Fremantle day trip

My friend Pauline went to Australia 1 or 2 months earlier than me. When I went to Australia, she is the best guide for me. The first weekend I was in Australia, she invited me to Fremantle. And she told me that there are two people she met at English class in my hostel, I could ask them go with us, that's how I know Paula and Lai.
All right,it's time to go.....................

In front of Perth Station, I like Perth Station,it's a beautiful, small and clean station and you can take train to every where around Perth.

This is first time I take train in Perth, Australia.
And of course it becomes one of the most important landmarks in my memory in Australia.






















Inside Perth Station, at platform 7, waiting for train to Fremantle, and picture time!!!!!
From left to right, me, Paula,Pauline and Lai. Not many people in train station, where do all the people go at weekend? No shops open, no people in train station.






















Fremantle Station, picture is not good, but the weather is fucking good.






















One thing you have to do in Australia is buying a soft serve in Hungry Jack. Only 40 cents,10 cents cheaper than McDonald's(but the price rises now....*sigh* ), full of milk, best friend under hot weather. I fall in love with soft serve after then, and buy one every 2 or 3 days....























We are in jail....,those prison dolls are cute,I should buy one as gift but I didn't *sigh*.






















Prison Break......5 stupid Taiwaness try to climb on the gate. The girl on the left is a new friend we met here.






















Fremantle prison, looks like a castle with great view,better than most hostel, why prisoner could have such a good place to stay?





















A beautiful building, Wesleyan church, a lovely church just stand beside the road.





















Oh...Kangaroo!!!On the way back, we went to Subiaco,and in Woolworth, we found this. We were excited, never try this before. We bought one. Kangaroo!!! We are coming!!!!
























That's our dinner, on the bottom is Taiwanese style fried kangaroo, we don't know how to cook kangaroo, so our chef said it looks like beef, just cook it as beef..........girls said it's not good with some strange taste, but I think it's nice although we didn't cook it well.






















After dinner, we went to swam river, and this is swam bell, a landmark of Perth, it will play music on clock. You can also get in it but it costs about 20 dollars, I don't want spend 20 dollars for this. Someone said first Tuesday or so every month, you can get in free, I am not sure and never try.






















Here is a video we recorded in Fremantel, a street performer sing opera, she is really good, and sometimes I saw her perform in Perth City.

土城踩線行

現在最熱門的新聞是大陸踩線團,到那裡都可以報一下,我也來個土城踩線行,探探從中和騎到土城工業區到底多遠,究竟能不能騎車去上班。

星期天早上,原本想要早點出發,不過前一天晚上在 MSN 上傾聽同學的感情問題,搞到了快三點,一覺醒來已經九點多,吃個早餐,消化一下,約十點時,整裝完畢,準備出發。

去程的路線是走景平路,轉延吉街,沿著水溝一路騎到金城路,然後接中央路到土城工業區,轉中興路到河堤旁。

回程差不多,不過先轉進清水街,想說避開中央路的紅線燈和車子,不過似乎也沒少多少,接到延吉街時,這時居然有早市,不得不把速度減慢,還好路還算寬,不必下來牽車,之後就是原路從延吉街接到景平路回到家。

由於沒有碼錶,只能用手機計時,也不知道騎了多少里程,去程約五十分鐘,回程約四十分鐘,可能回程是緩下坡的關係,感覺有一段騎起來比較輕鬆,所以時間也比較短。

不過景平路的車太多,路況也不是很好,騎起來有點像玩命,真的要騎的話,可能還是要找到更好的替代道路才行。

Memory in Australia Working Holiday - first few days

剛到澳洲,很幸運地隔天 Backpacker 的老闆娘就問我要不要工作,有個澳洲大叔買了一塊地,要找人幫忙整理,我當然說好囉~~~~於是和另一個澳洲人一起去那幫忙,一天大概有一百元上下,澳洲大叔叫 Alan,人很好,第一天中午就帶我們去吃烤雞 。就是圖片這家 Chicken Treat,這家似乎都只開在郊區,不然就是有特殊活動的時侯會去擺攤。
和我一起工作的澳洲人叫 Micheal,他說他到處流浪,缺錢就打打工,已經過這樣的生活六七年了,很多澳洲人都喜歡這樣。這張照片就是 Micheal 和他認識沒多久的.....伴侶,德國人 Anna(我也不知道是什麼伴侶,幾個月後在澳洲北邊的 Broome 巧遇 Micheal,他說 Anna 已經往東走了)。

另一張照片是我住的 Backpacker 全景,在背包客棧上也算是小有名氣,毀譽參半的 Cheviot lodge,外觀看起來挺有氣氛的,不過裡面真的有點老舊。老實說,我去住的時侯覺得還可以,反正就是便宜的住宿,雖然破舊,但也不至於到爛,不過後來越來越多人去住,老闆娘似乎也沒管控人數,聽說品質差了很多 。

Fed's Fisher backed these comments up reiterating that the Federal Reserve and the treasury are working together and paying particularly close attention to the Dollar. In economic news, Pending Homes Sales(未交屋住房銷售) for the month of April came in strong at 6.3% and 2 year bonds rallied 40 basis points implying a US rate rise was still on the cards this year. The US share markets had a mixed day, the NASDAQ was down 15.10 points (-0.61%) and the Dow Jones was up 70 points (0.58%). Crude Oil closed down $4 ending the New York session at $134.54 per barrel. Looking ahead, April's Trade Balance forecast to widen to a deficit of -59.5 Bln, whilst Fed Chairman Bernanke is due to give a speech on Inflation.

又有卡踏掐可以騎了

感謝 Rossi 熱情贊助,借我他的愛車 Giant Spinfit 打發時間,網路上說這台是女用車,一個豪邁的光頭騎這個好像怪怪的~~不過我看了老半天,也看不出來那裡和一般車不一樣。

離開始上班應該只剩下兩個星期,大概也騎不了多少次,希望能好好利用這些時間多騎幾趟,不要每天宅在家裡不知道幹嘛。
