INSIGHT Lab Demo


Date: Jan 18 2009
Location: 智慧家庭科技創新與整合中心(INSIGHT) (台大水源校區)

OK, This event has passed for a while. I posted now because first, the Chinese New Year was coincidentally right after this, and second, this project was not part of my job originally.

That's talk about this demo. Generally this lab is made up for a view of 
future family, so  basically this lab is composed with living room, bed room, rest room, etc like a normal house design. How
ever, with a micro view, there is nothing about being normal. There are cameras, infrared rays to monitor users motion everywhere, and ubiquitous wireless equipment even on users' body. It seems like really a cutting edge design both technologically and psychologically (I really can't imagine life with those equipment even though I'm part of the designer.)

Stop being cynical and take a look on the demo.






















This is our demo (bed room.) We are designed a interface for user having sleeping 
problems. The monitor right beside the bed is our work. It can record the sleeping status of the user everyday, and with these records psychiatrist can diagnose more specifically.

















 This is a system (sorry, I really can't recall its name) for reminding the elders to medicate on time. The system is composed with  a couple of medicine boxes (of course they're electronic) and a main system monitor. With some configuration, user can set up some reminders for their parents and help them to take medicine correctly.

















And this is a indoor garden which I'm really into it. It introduce the concept of tide to irrigate the plants. Except this unfortunately there is few technological invention worth mentioning, but still as far as I'm concerned, having a green location in the house is really fascinating.



Of course, there are many other part of the demo. I'll post them when I get their photos.

The Remote Desktop Connection Problems

1. The firewall

2. XP to Vista needs to support Verification (Only SP3 supports)

3. If you use the NVIDIA display chips, and conicidently you use the version 175.16 or 175.19, there might be a confliction.
Solution:  Modify the registry code :
add this DWORD
  1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]  
  2. "SessionImageSize"=dword:00000020

SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning 
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile 
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness 
And I have to sit down for a while 
The feeling that I'm losing her forever 
And without really entering her world 
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter 
That funny little girl 

Slipping through my fingers all the time 
I try to capture every minute 
The feeling in it 
Slipping through my fingers all the time 
Do I really see what's in her mind 
Each time I think I'm close to knowing 
She keeps on growing 
Slipping through my fingers all the time 

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table 
Barely awake, I let precious time go by 
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling 
And a sense of guilt I can't deny 
What happened to the wonderful adventures 
The places I had planned for us to go 
(Slipping through my fingers all the time) 
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't 
And why I just don't know 

Slipping through my fingers all the time 
I try to capture every minute 
The feeling in it 
Slipping through my fingers all the time 
Do I really see what's in her mind 
Each time I think I'm close to knowing 
She keeps on growing 
Slipping through my fingers all the time 

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture 
And save it from the funny tricks of time 
Slipping through my fingers 

Slipping through my fingers all the time 

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning 
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile 

Somebody

想找個人來分享 分享我的生命
藏在最深的夢 埋在最深的我
永遠站我這一邊 從不曾改變
而我同樣也會 支持他到永遠
他會專心聽我 當我有話要說
關於我們這世界 和生活的種種
也許我會犯錯 甚至有一點點迷惑
他會靜靜等候 卻不會輕易被我的想法左右
通常他不同意我 可是到了最後 他會瞭解我 喔....
想找個人來關心 關心我的生命
每一個思緒和每一次呼吸
他點亮另一盞燈 打開另一扇門
讓我學會去愛 我所有的恨(試著)
我不想要變成一個盲從的人
寧願試著看清所有的事情
當我閉上眼睛 渴望得到平靜
他會擁抱我然後輕輕地吻我
像這樣的事情 也許有點噁心
像這樣的事情 看得出他的真心 喔...

簽署組件時密碼編譯失敗

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328379/zh-tw

This problem occurs in VS2008.

Basically this problem results from a missing key file (at least as far as I'm concerned).
As a result, if you still have problems after reading the documentation of MS help, try
copy the key file you generated with the strong name tool to the "bin" directory which
is probably under the MSRDS directory after you installed.

1. Generate the key file with SN (Strong Name) tool:
    開啟 Visual Studio.NET 命令提示字元,然後再輸入下列命令: sn-k key.snk

2. Put the key file in your project directory:
    In fact, you only have to put in your project directory and change the path in "AssemblyInfo.cs" to indicated it like
    [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("Mykey.snk")] 

3. If it still doesn't work out, try to put the key file to the "bin" directory.
