It is said that it is the birthday of the God of Wealth on the fifth day of Chinese New Year. About 300,000 people went to the God of wealth on that day in Wu Han, China. People certainly hope to get some help from the God of Wealth in the current economy circumstance.
I graduated from University College Cork, Ireland with Msc degree in 2006. Since then, I have never touched my thesis again. It is useless to only keep it in my hard drivers. I would like to take it out and hope it can help some one who may need. The thesis is put on the following page: http://www.joehe.com/my-thesis/. Some simple introductions are as follows:
A Multimedia Ordering System for Restaurant
Hu He, Department of Computer Science, University College Cork, Ireland, December 2005
Abstract:
This thesis is about a project which is developed as a multimedia ordering system for restaurant. The project includes two parts: Website Ordering System and In-restaurant Ordering System. In the Website Ordering System, customers can check the dishes, make their orders, and pay their orders through a website which has rich information (pictures, text etc) about dishes. In restaurants, PDA can be used to present the multimedia information of dishes to customers, as well as deal with the orders which can be transferred to kitchen and be recorded into database through the mobile devices and server. Also, this system provides a PC client which also can deal with orders and present the multimedia information to staff for training purpose.
Technology involved:
1: JVM on PocketPC
I use the PDA with Pocket PC system as the wireless mobile device for the ordering system, There are many JVMs which can run on the Pocket PC. Such as IBM’s J9 JVM [1] or NSICOM’s CrEme JVM [2]. There are several other JVMs on the market, but they all suffer from these problems: not supported anymore (Sun’s PersonalJava), not fully Java compatible (SuperWaba), not fully Java compatible (EWE), on sale to OEMs only (Esmertec JBed, formerly Insignia Jeode), or out of date (Insignia Jeode). Because the price for IBM’s J9 JVM is very good at $5.99/each., so I choose the J9 JVM at first.
Other technology used:
2: JVM and JDK on PC
3: RMI server-client mechanism
4: MySQL Database

rel="nofollow" into the hyperlink tags "href". Nofollow will tell the search engines that do not follow the link. If the hyperlink has the attribute, then it would not affect the link target's Page Rank. Currently, three search engines support this attribute: Google, Yahoo, MSN Search, although they have different interpretations about the attribute. Now many blogs are using this attribute. Usually, the nofollow attribute is used on the link provided by commenters, which can prevent spammy links gaining any benefit for page rank. However, if you want to know if a blog has nofollow attribute. There are two ways to check if a blog has the "nofollow" attribute.King John’s Castle is located in Limerick City, Ireland, next to River Shannon which is the biggest river in Ireland. It was firstly built by the Viking sea-king in 922. I went there this summer. The castle has a really good view of Limerick city and River Shannon.
Overview of the castle and River Shannon
The entrance of the castle, some people are sitting on the cannon.
The weapon made by wood. It looks like a little bit fragile, doesn’t it?

The shooting hole. Soldiers can fire arrows from there.

Some introduction about the castle from Wikipedia.
The Viking sea-king, Thormodr Helgason, built the first permanent Viking stronghold on Inis Sibhtonn (King’s Island) in 922. He used the base to raid the length of the River Shannon from Lough Derg to Lough Ree, pillaging ecclesiastical settlements. In 937 the Limerick Vikings clashed with those of Dublin on Lough Ree and were defeated. In 943 they were defeated again when the chief of the local Dalcassian clan joined with Ceallachan, king of Munster and the Limerick Vikings were forced to pay tribute to the clans. The power of the Vikings never recovered, and they reduced to the level of a minor clan, however often playing pivotal parts in the endless power struggles of the next few centuries.
The arrival of the Anglo-Normans to the area in 1172 changed everything. Domhnall Mor O’Brien burned the city to the ground in 1174 in a bid to keep it from the hands of the new invaders. The Anglo-Normans finally captured the area in 1195, under John, Lord of Ireland. In 1197 local legend claims Limerick was given its first charter and its first Mayor, Adam Sarvant. A castle, built on the orders of King John and bearing his name, was completed around 1200.
