難用的教育廣播電台網站和android app

(YanmingShan.Taipei) 是因為經費的關係嗎,為什麼把網站做得那麼難用。之前的系統提供的應該是錄音檔的直接連結,新版的把每課的連結全改成是網頁的形式,在網頁裡內嵌播放器播放該課錄音。然後有的網頁有提供下載的button,有的沒有。接著,再試用了一下Android上的app,介面很陽春就算了,畫面中的分頁數字也是小得可憐。明明是給手機使用的軟體,為什麼沒有考慮到字型大小呢。更誇張的是,選了課程來播放後,沒有聲音呀!!!可是用網頁去連,卻又可以聽到該課程的錄音檔。而針對節目的每個item,點下去則提供了Play和Stop的Action。明明就還沒有點下去,怎麼會有選Stop的時機呢?我實在是搞不懂這個app啊… ...

monster

(Me and Snow.Sapporo University) Finished reading this comic in two days. The story is so interesting and dramatic that I just couldn’t help but keep reading it. It’s been a long time that I didn’t find good comic books; however….it seems that I should focus on other things now..instead of reading comics.

AVPlayer and AVAudioPlayer on iOS

(Polderpark.Netherlands) I like the bright color in this picture. Although this photo was taken almost 10 years ago, the image quality is so great that I still can’t believe it’s taken by a cheap camera at that time. **** It’s easy to play and control local mp3 files by using AVAudioPlayer. However, if someone wants to stream playing mp3 files from the internet, he should try AVPlayer instead. Spend most of my time trying to find a remote mp3 for testing. Too bad that I just can’t even find one. Eventually, I gave up searching on the internet. Instead, I use following python command to create a simple http server locally on my mac: ...

Starbuck 2011

(Annecy.France) 結局還蠻不錯的。 不過加拿大的法文腔聽起來幾乎全部不懂呀… REF: IMDB link

Macbook Pro Freezes When USB Plugged In

(Touchen.Taiwan) Symmetry brings harmony. **** Encountered this problem for a while. It bothers me a lot although it does nothing harm. Well…the solution is quite simple, but hard to find by myself: just uninstall “Android File Transfer” app!! Don’t know why this app causes the symptom. I am glad that I don’t have to keep moving around on the touch panel to make sure I re-gain the control of mouse movement while pluging anything into usb port. ...

App程式設計入門 iPhone . iPad

(Taipei.Taiwan) 這本書寫得很淺顯易懂, 但缺點是,每一個章節都是點到為止, 而且用字有點太過白話。 做為第一本iOS入門書還不錯, 只是想要深入了解iOS programming,或是要可查詢的工具書的話, 要再多買幾本書才行。 ...

Dans la maison

(Toronto.Canada) Haven’t thought that I would be able to have a biz trip to Canada, let alone a city in the middle area of it. Toronto is a clean city which is suitable for living, for sure. I like the clear sky and freezing temperature in winter. **** 不是很好看。 一個教文學的老師看到一個作文不錯的小朋友, 開始逐步引導他怎麼寫, 漸漸地,小說內容和現實世界之間的界線模糊了。 ...

Priceless

(New York.US) Look remotely, it’s a picture of woods; Once you get closer to it, you will find it’s made up of newspaper strips. Very creative piece. I like the deepness of the work. **** 木村拓哉主演。女主角沒有很正, 倒是演次角的女生外型比較搶眼。 這部日劇還是很日本,鼓勵人向上, 透過主角楔而不捨的意志力,逐漸地感化每個人。 雖然主角似乎有點積極過了頭, 但也總比看台灣連續劇亂七八糟灑狗血劇情來得好。 ...

Objective-C 2.0 iPhone/iPad/Mac OS X 程式設計講座

(田子坊.Shanghai.China) Brought ex-colleague to visit this old district in Shanghai. It’s full of exotic atmosphere while wandering around. Sitting in the coffee shop by the street corner, you can’t even tell whether you’re in western countries or somewhere else. Walking-by passengers are visitors from around the world. *** 這本書翻譯的不是很好,看得有點頭昏。 加上年代有點久,有些章節在新的平台上應該有更好的作法了。 應該找本新一點的書來看才是。 ...
