We are looking forward to a two-day trip to Lake Mountain Resort (Marysville) in two weeks. We had a great fun last year (even Tin Tin did not want to leave at all that time) and are hoping the same this time.


Below are some quick links:
Hire at Marysville: http://crosscountryskihire.com.au/:  The price list seems very fair and the owners look friendly.

在我的HTPC 4 Media Portal的安装和使用一章中我已经提到过，MediaPortal使用了客户/服务器 (Client/Server)架构。这使得将电视服务器和客户端分别安装在不同的电脑上成为可能。但大多数用户包括我自己之前都是将服务器和客户端安装在同一台电脑上。

家里其实有一台Pentium4的旧电脑，安装了很多硬盘，一直以来用作24x7运行的文件服务器和下载机。本来是可以考虑做电视服务器使用的，但是由于我的电视卡是PCI-E接口的，而服务器上的主板非常老，只有AGP接口，所以无法实现这个想法。最近，由于硬盘数量的不断增加（现在已经接了8个硬盘了，快6TB的容量了），不得不给这台电脑做了一次小小的升级：把主板和CPU从旧的P4主板（连SATA接口都没有）和Pentium 4 2.0(还是单核的）换成了Intel E2160和GA-P35C-DS3R。两者都是从overclockers.com.au淘来的旧货，耗费$105。当然CPU并不强大，但对于文件服务器和下载而言已经是绰绰有余，且省电。而主板则和我的工作机上的GA-EP35-DS3是同一系列，但这款可以说更强大，自带8个SATA2接口，做文件服务器正好。

如此升级后，这台电脑的性能和容量都得到相当大的提高，更重要的是这款主板带有电视卡所需的PCI-E接口，终于可以把电视网络的方案付诸实施了。

Tennis is a match of percentage. At club level, the most powerful weapon to win a match is the consistency, not the number of winner shots. So the secret is get yourself make less unforced errors, and get the opponent to do the opposite.

Play safe but keep consistent pressure on the opponent.

Play safe means hitting topspin,  getting the ball pass over the center of the net, cross-court. Avoid trying "smart" shots such as (drop shot, down-the-line, angles) when you have absolute confidence, instead, let your opponent to try them. Smart means riscky and results in low percentage of success. Keep hitting safe, in the end, the magic percentage will work in your favor.
