The easy way to delete spam comments from Windows Live Spaces blog

Many Windows Live Space users received lots of spam comments recently. The typical spam comment is something like "wow gold watch" etc.... Usually, we have to delete those spam comments manually by going through a few steps: click the spam comment from the recent comments list at space home, then open that blog entry and click edit, then delete the comment at the bottom, then republish the blog entry. It is a tedious work!!!!

Good news, I found a much easier way to delete those spam comments! That is to go through the mobile live space. http://mobile.spaces.live.com From here, login->go to your space->recent comments, you will see that there is a direct ''delete comment'' link for each comment. Yeah!! Although it will not solve the spam comments problem, it is much easier to delete them!

The new iMac

Super cool!!!! The new iMac is amazing! I am using one at apple centre 5th ave. NYC now. The new wireless keyboard is just coooool. The 24" 2.8GHz, UK price £1459, US price $2299. Shall I buy one and bring it back to UK??? hahaha, kidding. It's too big and I am sure I will be charged for the tax.

@Apple Store, 5th Avenue, NYC

I am at the apple centre, 5th avenue, NYC now. I just played the iPhone!!! It is super cool in deed!!! I tried almost every function and every feature. It is very easy to use, espeially if you are a Mac user. The only little thing I feel difficult is the SMS, the kepad is really small. I always typed the wrong letter. However the error correction is quite good. ;-)

I am sure I will get one when it is launched to the UK!!!

Connecting to the Internet via GPRS: Using bluetooth enabled mobile phone as a modem

This article gives you a step by step instruction on using your mobile phone as a modem to connect your laptop to the Internet via GPRS.

The description is based on Windows Vista. It is similar if you use Windows XP or Windows 2000.

1. Pair your laptop and your mobile phone:
   Turn on bluetooth of both your mobile phone and your laptop. Click the bluetooth icon from you laptop, press the button 'add'. The laptop will search all discoverable devices and display them in a list. Select your mobile phone from the list. Then you may choose a passkey. Enter the passkey from your mobile phone when asked. Now your mobile phone and your laptop are paired.
2. Configure the mobile phone as a modem for GPRS connection:
   In Windows Vista, 'Start'->'Connect to'->'Set up a connection or network'->'Connect to the Internet'->'Dial up'. Enter telephone number *99#. Username and password are depending on you Network. For UK network providers, please see the settings: http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html. I am an Orange customer, so the username is user, password is pass.
3. Important: set up "Extra initialization commands":
   Go to 'control panel', switch to 'classic view'. select 'phone and modem options'. Please note, in this screen, you must input an area code, otherwise the next screen won't appear! In the next screen, select the modem, click 'properties', then click the 'advanced' tap. At the 'Extra initialization commands', enter +CGDCONT =1,"IP","apn.address", where 'apn.address' is the name of the GPRS APN that you wish to connect to. See the settings of different UK providers here: http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html#apn. I am an Orange customer, so I will enter +CGDCONT =1,"IP","orangeinternet". Click ok then connect!

HAVE FUN WITH GPRS!

Choose the Most Appropriate Topic @ Digg

I always feel it is very difficult to choose a topic from the "Most Appropriate Topic" at Digg. Do you have the same feeling?

Windows Live OnceCare will block VPN ports

If you tried VPN connection at Windows XP or Windows Vista, but failed with no reason given, that probably because of the FireWall settings. If you use Windows Live OnceCare, that might be the cause of the problem. Open OneCare, click "Change OneCare Settings", click "FireWall", click "Advanced Settings",click "Ports and Protocols", tick the box "Virtual Private Network (IPsec of PPTP)". Done. The problem should be solved!

If the VPN connection still failed, try to look at other FireWall or anti-virus application. Usually Lower down the FireWall level or disable it would do, but be careful.

If problem still there, it might be Visa TCP Window Scaling problem, try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934430
