It annoys me that the left side of the screen is always occupied by the content index; however, I just need to change articles once in a while by using it.

(JingMei Bridge.Taipei) 試圖為抓下來的圖片加上一個tag，查了flickr api dev guide，對於這種request應該要使用post method才行。可是flickr上的api explorer還是用舊的token方式，而api說明頁又說得不清不楚，只說舊版的token要deprecated，要用新版的oAuth。卻沒說清楚oAuth的signature要怎麼生出來。 ...

(Chamonix.France) 看了幾課教學後，總算是有點小進度了。 不看還不曉得，原來xcode的開發環境這麼完整和方便， 是我太久沒有接觸開發環境了嗎？ 感覺上eclipse的android開發環境還是那麼地原始呀。 ...
