Billy Sing is a hero. He was an Australian soldier of the World War I, and distinguished sniper during the Gallipoli Campaign. He killed almost 200 Turkish soldiers during that campaign. Turkish called him "The Assassin of Gallipoli". He was also an Anglo-Chinese ancestry. But in the Australia TV mini-series "The Legend of Billy Sing", he was white washed. It does not mention his Chinese heritage at all.  After watching the trailer, I found out the only thing Chinese about the Billy in this series is his last name, which is not a name immediately recognisable as being Chinese anyway.  In the trailer there is a scene where the whole family are at the table, they are all white, including the father. If a country cannot even face its national is not white, how do you expect it to treat its people equally. Look at the recent comments made by Pauline Hanson, it makes very clear why there are many attacks against minority race groups in Australia these years.

Yesterday, I set up a testing website on my testing server with port 6000. I tried to browse it with Firefox. I got an error like "This address is restricted. This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has cancelled the request for your protection. " Then I tried in the Chrome, I got similar error message as wel. Surprisingly, IE worked fine. This was totally new to me. Then I found out the fact that Mozilla blocks some ports for the security reason. Here is a list of port they blocked :

Port Service

For more detail about this you can visit Mozilla's website.

Resolution:

1. If you can decide how to host your website, try to avoid use these ports when you config your website.

2. If you are end user, you can change your configuration to override this setting.

For Firefox, enter about:config in the address bar, and then right-click anywhere in the lower portion of the resulting page and select New and then String from the context menu. The name you need to enter is network.security.ports.banned.override, and the value is the port(s) you want to open. If you have more than one, enter them as a comma-separated list. Or you can just type "1-65535", that will open all ports.

Finally I upgraded my blog into BlogEngine.NET 1.6.0.0. This suppose to be a very easy update. But it took me about a week to finish. I don't really want to talk about the reason why the update was so difficult for me. It is something to do with my hosting provider. This is a very good lesson for me. 

I found this very useful today which can help you save your image into icon. It's free. All you need to do is downloading the file then put it in your "\Plug-ins\File Formats" folder. 

Here is the link to download this file.

Hope you like it as well.
