生死不离 Be Together, Alive or Not

I started Java ME Open Source Software site at the end of 2004. Initially it had 60+ projects. Now that number is more than doubled (~140). I am pretty happy with its Google ranking and sometimes it surprised me. It ranks No. 7 when searching “Java ME”. There are a few No. 1 cases such as J2ME game library.

Now, one blogger likes it so much that s/he started copying the content to this blog:
http://javaonthemove.blogspot.com
There are some improvement here and there. A few screenshots are added. But the categories are extremely similar. Most of the content is exactly the same, such as project description, related article links etc.

This person must read my blog. I added a few projects last Saturday, and they were added to that site on Sunday.

There is a similar case happened to Bill Day. Someone stole his popular J2ME Archive in 2005. Now that pirate site is still live.

To that javaonthemove blogger just in case s/he is reading my blog: shame on you!

This is just a waste of time

I happened to read this post:
Google Suggestions : Uncovers a Dark Public?
And I remember one day I tried to search “verizon uiOne”. When I typed “verizon ui”, the suggested word from Google is “verizon ui sucks”. It is kind of a bad news for Verizon (maybe Qualcomm BREW).

So here is a list of words from A to Z from Google Suggestion:

I used the following sites pretty often. They all happen to be language tools based on AJAX.

Spell Checker: It works very similarly to the spell checking from GMail, but you can use it any time and do not have to login. Its source code is available under BSD.

ObjectGraph Dictionary: Yes. It does not know the programming language Java

SevenForks Chinese Input: This is a killer. I do not have to install any software to input Chinese characters. That is a perfect tool especially when I use public computer to quickly input some Chinese.
