Linux

Fly.Annecy After installing ubuntu 10.10 on my computer, I found that SCIM is gone! I already used to installing boshiamy input in SCIM every time i re-install linux OS on my computers. This time, I should find another way around. The following website is what I found to help me resolve this problem. Basically, it’s much easier than what I’ve done for having Boshiamy work on SCIM. I just need to install a package and select the input method in the configuration UI! Well, let’s call it IMPROVEMENT. ...

butterfly.Taiwan 山形尖叫，因為有山形才看的。 好怪的一部片。 == 看同事都是用NX也不是vncviewer，所以我也上網找文件設定了一下。 果然速度快了很多，不會像vncviewer那樣，卡得要命。 ...

Annecy.France Yesterday, I brought my eeepc to office. I wanna try link it to my big screen LCD and see how it works. If possible, I want to control my office notebook under ubuntu remotely. In this way, I can control the computer in the way I want it, and still, being able to access all the necessary apps in windows. However, out of no reasons, when changing the xorg settings to adapt the LCD resolution, my compiz 3D effects are all gone. A bit panicked, I gave up this idea and back to my original work style. ...

Seattle.US It’s hard to connect to plurk.com under ubuntu. So I tried to install Opera and set up the proper proxy for hinet network. And the result is: wonderful! So, I started to browse some websites by using Opera. In this way, I don’t have to keep going back and forth between firefox and Opera. However, I am too addicted to vimperator under firefox that sometimes I accidentally press the wrong commands in Opera. ...

Taipei.Taiwan J’ai fait le bar-bee-cue avec mes colleagues ce matin. Cet endroit se situe pres de ma compagnie; donc on s’est joint devant la compagnie. = = = In order to select a proper media player for the mss protocol in firefox, you have to add some new properties in about:config. Here’s what I set for suit my own purpose. network.protocol-handler.app.mms user set string /usr/bin/X11/smplayer network.protocol-handler.external.mms user set boolean true

Taipei.Taiwan 城市中盛開的花。 **** 在asus epc 1000HE上使用ubuntu9.04的感覺，真是愉快得不得了。明明windows xp已經夠輕量了，應該run起來要很smooth才對，但總覺得1000HE跑起來比我三年前的notebook還要不順。最近不知道是中毒了還是怎樣，常常會發生系統快要死當的情形：一會兒檔案總管沒動作，一會兒firefox罷工，連微軟自家的IE也常常沒有回應。原本打算要灌windows 7來玩玩看的，無奈免費下載的期間早就過了，我也懶得再去找現成的iso檔回來試。 ...

Biei.Japan I forgot how I bumped into this site Google App engine. I saw there’s a small youtube video at the right-hand side. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the video and gave it a gimplse. Wow, it’s written in Python. That made me more interested in how it works. Within hours, I wrote my first google app based on its simple sample provided in the Google App Engine SDK. Hey, but it’s already good enough to compete with my onlinedic!! The speed is amazing comparing to my desktop client. Instead of completing my first workable (and useful) android app, I ported my onlinedic to google apps. Well, I just changed the I/O part of my original python scripts. As for the html post-processing part, I did not change them at all. ...

Geneve.Swiss Annecy.France Photos de Similaire composition. Well, it’s a piece of cake. Just type in the title into google and you can find the solution within seconds. Just install nrg2iso from apt and it’s done.

Airport.Hong Kong I saw the fly’s eyes in the airport. **** The default operating system on my epc 1000HE is Windows. It works quite well so far, and I am already addicted to its multi-touch panel. To save my time on finding all the equivalent functions on Ubuntu, I decide to install ubuntu in VirtualBox under Windows. In this way, I can get the benefits from the Windows softwares and drivers; in addition, I can use the familiar interfaces in Linux too. ...

Annecy.FRance I always thought that I was using Ubuntu 8.04 on my notebook until yesterday. Ubuntu 9.04 is out for a while. Every blog post is praising its boot-up speed and other new features. Originally, I wanna buy a netbook and install this version on it. However, after consideration, netbook would not be a good choice for me, because I spend most of time in front of my big LCD screen at office. On weekends, I don’t go out often. Even so, I would not bother myself with a computer at hand. ...
