A free X Server for Windows

Xming is the Free unlimited X Window server for Microsoft Windows (XP/2003/Vista). It works great with Putty (a free SSH client).

Want to replace commercial ones, such as Exceed (Hummingbird Ltd.), XWin32 (StarNet Communications). Try Xming!

Recommend NOTEPAD++

Notepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement), which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment.

I like some features very much, such as:

(1) Syntax Highlighting and Syntax Folding
Supported languages : C, C++, Java , C#, XML, HTML, PHP, Javascript, RC resource file, makefile, ASCII art file, Fortran, doxygen, ini file, batch file, ASP, VB/VBS source files, SQL, Objective-C, CSS, Pascal, Perl, Python, Lua, TeX, TCL, Assembler, Ruby, Lisp, Scheme, Properties, Diff, Smalltalk, Postscript, VHDL, Ada, Caml, AutoIt, KiXtart, Matlab and Verilog.

(2) Function Listing

Recommend versions>=4.0. It can be executed under Unix/Linux using Wine (the latest release).

Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of the vortices shed behind a blunt obstacle

Lenardo da Vinci's observation:
"Observe the motion of the water surface, which resembles that of hair, that has two motions: one due to the weight of the shaft, the other to the shape of the curls; thus, water has eddying motions, one part of which is due to the principal current, the other to the random and reverse motion."

If I can do turbulence, I can do anything!

Big whorls have little whorls,
which feed on their velocity,
and little whorls have lesser whorls,
and so on to viscosity.

No false ideas about sins

1 Corinthians 6:9[BBE] Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, ...

Always have false ideas about my sins. This is also a sin.
