How to install boshiamy input method under ubuntu 10.10

Tue, 23 Nov 2010 16:47:00 +0000

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.

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。

Optimize the battery usage in Ubuntu 9.04 on Asus eeepc 1000HE

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 08:36:00 +0000

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.

customize Opera to be vimperator-like

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.

How to launch media players with mms protocol in Firefox in Ubuntu

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.

如何在ubuntu9.04中透過windows mobile的internet sharing上網

****

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。

Google App engine

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.

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.

Upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04

Mon, 04 May 2009 17:03:00 +0000

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.

美瑛 / EasyMule 2.0 for Linux

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 17:10:00 +0000

Biei.Hokkaido

Easymule is a great application to download latest stuffs on the internet; however, it used to only exist on Windows platform. The only similar application I know on linux is amule. While amule is doing a good job sometimes, it’s hard to find asian resources. I am not sure if it’s because I did not add the right servers or not.

Now easymule is ported to Linux. What a great news!

fix shoutcast plugin of Streamtuner in ubuntu

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 13:43:00 +0000

Purple Sunset

Streamtuner is a good software under linux that can help you to launch internet radios easily. With combination of streamripper, you can even save songs as individual mp3s by just a simple click. However, After upgrading to ubuntu 8.10, Streamtuner fails to display the shoutcast raido listings, which contains most of the radio stations I listen to. That’s realy pain in the ass for me. I had to manually insert the radio address for a long time.

Sending SMS thourgh Skype under Linux

Fri, 09 Jan 2009 15:39:00 +0000

Zao.Japan

Out of my surprise, The SMS sending feature of Skype under Linux is not supported by its GUI client. I don’t know why this feature is left off from the official release. It’s quite strange because in its core library, this feature is included. As a consequence, some intelligent hackers use the Skype library interface to write some useful tools for this purpose. At least, I found two softwares that sovle this problem. One is with GUI interface, and another one is a command line tool. What a wonderful world under Linux. You can find what you need and … multiple choices as always.

Il y a longtemps que j’etais dans le windows recement, puisque j’ai reinstalle mon windows et je n’ai pas pu entrer mon ubuntu desormais. Voila, aujourd’hui je suis rentre chez ubuntu car le windows ne marche pas encore. Il a l’air quelques virus restent dans mon ordi. Le reseau ne marche bien dans le windows. Donc, je dois trouver un methode de re-entrer ubuntu. Heureusement, c’est pas tres dificile pour moi. Quand j’etais en France, j’ai recu un CD de ubuntu, Grace au CD, j’ai cherche sur internet comment reinstaller mon grub, un logiciel qui gere le bootup d’ordi. Dans vingt minutes, je suis sur ubuntu encore. Il devient un peu etranger pour moi. Mais ca va. Avant que je le repare (peut-etre, je dois le reinstaller encore XD), je serai content avec mon vieux ubuntu.

法國城市裡仔細注意的話，其實還不少立體壁畫。對於沒有什麼裝飾的牆面來說，畫點3D壁畫比被亂塗鴉要好太多了。這一副是在Albertville火車站往奧運公園走的路上發現的。明明是房子的側面，卻被畫成跟正面一樣。

我也搞不清哪個是源頭，只好在下面隨便附上一個我找到的link。

As usual, you have to install some packages at first.
And then set up some configurations.

隨著氣溫愈來愈高，這兒的遊客應該也會愈來愈多吧。

Every time I use xchat, I have to connect the irc server manually.
And then, I have to choose the channels I want to join in all over again.
That’s really tiresome for me.

(Italie.Venice)

Searched some information on the internet to better utilize the 128 RAM on my s200.
Firstly, I turned off GDM service.
Instead, startx is executed (with icewm window manager) from command line,
everytime I turn on my s200.
It’s said that GDM consumes quite some memory usage.
Secondly, I commented unnecessary ttys.
In general, one tty is enough for me.
Nevetheless, I kept two, just in case.

之前提過我的jvc victor mp xp 5220不行動了。
後來查過發現是自己新增256MB記憶體的問題，
拿掉後，就可以正常開機。
只是，僅存的128MB會讓它慢得嚇人。
連我灌xubuntu都免不了聽著硬碟從頭到尾軋軋叫。
