Moving files into a folder and syncing them to another PC will move those files in the destination into a newly created folder but the source on the destination computer will not be removed leaving copies of the files on the destination.
Try http://allwaysync.com/, seems to work better.

<p>We just need simple editions and you still want to confuse everyone? So there&#8217;ll still be Windows 7 Enterprise, Home Basic, Starter Edition, Ultimate on top of the what you call STREAMLINE product lineup of 2 PRIMARY edition of Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s just as confusing and as waste time as Windows Vista in naming conventions. Can we have simply, WIndows 7 Ultimate, Home and Business. FULLSTOP.  3 Editions, simple!</p>

<p>Wanna help? Sign up tstmanagement@gmail.com for all the SPAM list you can find. hahahahahahaha or simply, blog about this email address tstmanagement@gmail.com and it&#8217;s sure to be get picked up by Google or some other search engine&#8217;s bot and get listed somewhere again and get picked up by some SPAM bots along the way. Or write to Google&#8217;s Gmail and tell them to disable the SPAM filter for this specific account?</p>

<p>On another note, seems like Community Site Friendster having some problem since last night with people reporting to have Friends &#8220;missing&#8221; or &#8220;lost&#8221;, so pathetic users who need Friendster to keep in touch or maintain a friendship or for the matter, any relationship, screw you. Pick up the phone and call those friends that you seriously want to keep in contact in the first place&#8230;</p>

<p>Disable that if you are not using it and the Add media buttons will appear once again. Updated all my sites to 2.6.3 after that. I had all along thought it was WP&#8217;s problem haha, so now, where&#8217;s the mutiple add images function in WP? Guess needs more waiting&#8230;or 3rd party plugins&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m back to firefox 2. Well, yes Firefox 3 &#8220;seemed&#8221; faster and all but some stuffs just do not work and one sort of big thing to me is embedding of Flash in forums I frequent and it irritates the hell out of me and it seems some others too. Flash videos embedded in forums systems like vBulletin or even phpBB do not work in Firefox 3 and it is a well known problem with no much help anywhere. I even read about the problem may lies with IP version 6. oh comon! So who uses Flash videos so you can embed them in forums? <a href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">Youtube </a>and <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/" target="_blank">Vimeo </a>of course!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/firefox23_about.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-403 aligncenter" title="firefox23_about" src="http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/firefox23_about.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="358" /></a></p>
<p>On top of that, some Internet Banking services in Singapore like DBS, it works for DBS but repeated &#8220;please wait for applet to load&#8221; is irritating. Then Citibank and OCBC just do not work and I do not think it should be them who should be finding a solution but more to Mozilla/ Firefox&#8217;s developers.</p>
<p>So for the time being, it&#8217;s back to Fire 2.0.17 for me. It&#8217;s easy to do using Firefox&#8217;s Profile Manager. Read about it <a href="http://blog.codefront.net/2007/08/20/how-to-have-firefox-3-and-firefox-2-running-at-the-same-time/">here</a>. It allows me to run both 2 and 3 at the same time if needed to test stuffs out like the 360 pano I <a href="http://360.itcow.com">created</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/firefox23.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-402 aligncenter" title="firefox23" src="http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/firefox23.jpg" alt="" width="344" height="248" /></a></p>
<p>Another plus will be some &#8220;Add-ons&#8221; I was using can now come back I guess. Other add on are of no problem like FireFTP and Adblock. Who needs to install another FTP client when you can do it in Firefox itself?! <img src='http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Another classic case of new things may not be good things&#8230;</p>
<p>Download older Firefox(es) <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past, I had to run my own CMS, forums, download whatever section such as this one and you&#8217;ll know that I&#8217;ve ran Geeklog for many years till recently this year when I <a href="http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/2007/10/18/migration-2">switched over</a> to VMWare a lot and to Wordpress.</p>
<p>That made me wonder about the killer app that has elude the media for so many years. Email as they put it, was the killer app. The one app that everyone use and cannot live without. So has the new killer app arrived? I believe so. So what is it?</p>
<p>It is a multiple combination of apps I would say. From file sharing sites, MASHUP sites, photos sites, social networking,  free forums systems, blog/ CMS systems, what the word now know as Web Two Point Zero.</p>
<p>So what is Web 2.0? It&#8217;s what you and your kids may have already been using. Programming languages like AJAX or sites like YouTube all uses these. It&#8217;s computing, on the Internet. Lesser and lesser processing could well be needed by your desktop computers in the years to come, yet, our computers are becoming more and more powerfulto the average home users leaving them with a lot of processing power and nothing much to process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There don&#8217;t seem to be such an application. I was meddling around my Mac OS X Leopard and created one more partition on top of the 2 I am using for MAC OS X Leopard and Windows (Bootcamp). My company&#8217;s VPN do not work well with Parellell-ed Windows booting up from the Bootcamp partition thus at times, I will need to boot into &#8220;full&#8221; windows mode. One extra partition as I was trying to increase my Bootcamp partition size in the end, messed up more things&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/screenshot2.png" alt="" width="549" height="551" /></p>
<p>The solution was seems to be the only one as I was in a hurry to restore my Mac back to it&#8217;s original condition with a bigger harddisk size. A little help came from <a href="http://coreygilmore.com/blog/2007/06/12/resizing-a-boot-camp-partition/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Apple should make it easier I hope in future release.</p>
<p>I backed up my WIndows partition using <a href="http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/" target="_blank">WinClone </a>into OSX&#8217;s partition.</p>
<p>I started Bootcamp Assistant, restore the harddisk to it&#8217;s original 250Gb ,</p>
<p>WinClone back the backed up partition file. It&#8217;s a single file and it&#8217;s done. With a newly partition 100Gb for me dedicated for Windows XP.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mscape.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-379 aligncenter" title="mscape" src="http://moonshine.homedns.org:2655/wp-gl/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mscape.jpg" alt="" width="370" height="180" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>There is a new playground for Singaporeans to head to for some fun and relaxation now that HortPark has been officially unveiled to the public. Officially opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on May 10, HortPark is Southeast Asia’s first one-stop gardening and lifestyle hub. It also serves as a park connector for Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park.</p>
<p>HP Singapore is playing a very big role in helping the National Parks Board (NParks) promote HortPark by developing an eLearning trail for upper primary and lower secondary students. Called HortPark Mediascape, this pilot project uses <a class="udrline" href="http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/leaving_hp.cgi?cc=sg&amp;lang=en&amp;exit_link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mscapers.com%2F&amp;exit_text=HP+mScape&amp;area_link=http://h41131.www4.hp.com/sg/en/stories/singapore_hortpark_0508.html&amp;area_text=News">HP mScape</a> <img src="http://welcome.hp-ww.com/img/hpweb_1-2_exit.gif" border="0" alt="Non-HP site" width="12" height="13" /> technology to create a self-conducted virtual tour, which will allow visitors to learn more about the park and its flora.</p>
<p>However, this is unlike any normal guided tour. Students use the <a class="udrline" href="http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/sg/en/sm/WF06b/1090709-1113753-1113753-1113753-1117925-80593313-81043250.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_SGEN">HP iPAQ 612 Business Navigator</a> to get information on a particular attraction in the park when they arrive at the corresponding hotspot. There will be 26 hotspots spread around this 23-hectare park, but this is not all. Interactive quizzes and games have been developed to engage the students. These activities are based on an original fairytale—The Enchanted Flower Kingdom—created by HP Singapore. Featuring the five geomancy elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, this game will make learning about the park more fun and enriching for students.</p>
<p>Tan Yen Yen, Vice President &amp; Managing Director of HP Singapore, and Yong Yiam Tong from TSG Education Services had the opportunity to demonstrate HortPark Mediascape to PM Lee when he stopped by the Herb &amp; Spice Garden during his tour of HortPark.</p>
<p>Tan shared HP’s commitment to innovate for the environment. “With HortPark Mediascape, HP is tapping its creativity and technological expertise to interest and educate the young in nature and flora.”</p>
<p>Ng Lang, CEO of NParks, said: “Technology can add a new dimension to our mission to create memorable recreational experiences and lifestyles for Singaporeans. Our partnership with HP is an important step to giving park visitors personalized, interactive experiences using technology.”</p>
<p>The entire mediascape interactive experience in HortPark will take a maximum of 25 minutes for visitors to complete and up to three people can share one device. The public can rent the <a class="udrline" href="http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/sg/en/sm/WF06b/1090709-1113753-1113753-1113753-1117925-80593313-81043250.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_SGEN">HP iPAQ 612 Business Navigators</a> for free once a month if they join the guided walks conducted by NParks. However, visitors have to make advance bookings via the hotline or email.</p>
<p>HortPark Mediascape is not the first mediascape project HP Singapore has done. HP, IDA and Tao Nan School of Singapore collaborated on a mScape-based learning game trial in the Singapore Zoo last June. Presently, there are no public places in Singapore that are using a similar technology.</p></blockquote>
