evoca's biggest upgrade

Evoca is an podcast startup located in Georgia US,their service is about Podcast media hosting , editing and so on.Recently,they have make a big upgrade.

Yesterday we launched our biggest upgrade yet. Although we didn't officially announce an upgrade, we made obvious improvements to our profiling system and user connectivity. Y'all spoke up and we listened. Now the Evoca community can communicate by audio message to each other as well as leave personal comments, be notified by email of new recordings, set their preferences, and create an awesome profile. And if that weren't enough we used some spiffy AJAX!

via evoca blog

Maybe that is the first Social Networking Voicemail service over the world.

a collection of China Blog search engines

If you know that Technorati has been blocked in China for a long time,then it will be easy to understand why China has so many foolish and useless Blog search engines that even can find out my Blog!

However,i feel make a collection list of them will be help some foreigners who may be interested in investing these rubbish engines :)

http://www.oao.cn/   the founder fo oao says his search engine has the largest database in China,tracking over 4 million blogs.  Plz don't take him and his site too serious,the are totally untrue

http://www.okrss.com/   powered by newsants

http://www.feedsearch.net/    another rubbish site...

http://www.8fang.net/   tracking 23376 chinese rss and ATOM,nobody konws what happen to it recently,may be you can't open its homepage

http://www.grass.org.cn/   lt seems to be closed...

http://www.cnblog.org/      a formal Blog search engine

poems form Zoho menbers

Online Office Zoho members T.Tallent & The Happy Reader sometimes will write meaningful poems like below:

Yo ho ho
I discovered Zoho
I created a doc
web-based (no shock).
With just a little moxy
I tried out 30 boxes
Input a few dates
and I'm feeling just great
But it's getting kind of late
And this rhyme's begun to deflate......

- T.Tallent

It's Monday night, my brain is fried,

But I want that player, so I tried.
First in Zoho, but it wouldn't blog,
So now in Writely, I continue to slog.

It's really cool, many uses I can see,
Plus advantages for you and me.
Open anywhere, no discs, no fuss.
Of all the tools, this is a must.

So goodnight, bloggers fair.
I'll try to post this, do I dare?
Third time is charmed, I hope and pray,
Because it's way too late to play!

- The Happy Reader

PS2 simulator is playable!

The PAL (SCES 5049x) version of Final Fantasy X is now Playable. Thanks to a variety of fixes made by various members of the team, including

• MTGS / DC mode stability
• IPU fixes, including fully working sound in videos
• Pause and sync issues, no more random hangs, looping etc
• SPU2 fixes, including ADMA, and timing related issues.

With MTGS / DC stability, the game can be played at 'enjoyable' speeds, ranging from a base speed of 29 FPS in the most intense areas, right up to the peak speeds of over 140 FPS. The average frame rate I was achieving was ~50 FPS.
