今年的生日是这样过的

  首先祝贺香港回归七周年(鼓掌一片)!
  昨天晚上接到老爸电话:

  “喂,猪猡儿子(我的昵称,因为睡觉像死猪),明天回来吗?”
  “干嘛呀?”
  “过生日呀,明天你生日#$%^&”
  “啊,又老一岁啊,不是说七月份老妈一起过嘛”(今年碰巧,老妈阳历生日是我阴历生日,所以计划一起过)
  “噢,那么以后干脆闲生日都不过,逢十再过~~~”
  “好的呀,年年都过又没新意,精简了吧,自己吃碗面条就OK啦”
  “那我就到七十再过了~~~”
  “好的好的,早着呢~~~”
  “好了,不跟你废话了,出去散步了~~~”
  “喔!”
  .
  .
  .

  如果放在以前念书的时候,我一定会这么写:

  “我最有意义的生日是一九九七年的六月三十日,那天我在厦门出差,因为正值旅游旺季,酒店全部住满,其实另外还有一个原因就是这天是香港回归的前夕,只好就宿在厦大的第一招待所,厦门是我的祖籍所在,厦大是我父亲的母校,我祖父任教的学校,所以我在这样的一个环境中庆祝我二十四岁本命年生日实在是太有意义了啊,于是我便跑去小饭店点了一桌菜,一边喝着鲜美肥厚的海瓜子汤,一边祝愿我们的祖国繁荣昌盛,祝愿香港和平兴旺,祝愿台湾早日回到祖国的怀抱!”(最后可能还会多“啊”几下)

  So,还是去吃面条吧^____________^

Longator 2004

  当然不是Longhorn,和Longhorn也没任何关系,这是一款IE内核的浏览器,除了前一阵子的iRider,这个也算在界面上耍了一下威风。
  IE内核的浏览器对我来说已经没有什么吸引力了,myie也已经半年多不用了,近来除了Firefox就是Mozilla,要么就是Opera,其实浏览器也就是个网页查看器,斗来斗去累不累,自然那是他们自己的事,与我们无关,Firefox好用,至少上GMail不用改什么设置,Mozilla就是启动慢了点,但是对iframe的支持要比Firefox稍微好点,至于Opera,我用下来速度比前两者都快,但是时不时地会crash一下(可能是我机子的缘故),难怪她的recover做得比前两者都好,还可以直接恢复session(不过实际上还得重新登录),最重要的她有我最喜欢的Safari的界面skin,别笑我痴,我就喜欢Safari,没理由,it's genetic!
  Longator也有Safari的界面skin,这是她在我机器上暂时生存下来的原因,至少有些网站用IE看比较完整,比如Microsoft[dot]Com。使用中发现她快捷工具栏的菜单打开速度很慢,可能是那些菜单直接从IE的设置里读过来的缘故,加上我的IE收藏夹实在臃肿得可以,于是一个下拉菜单要等5~10秒,夸张哦!
  Anyway,现在终于可以在"Safari"的陪伴下...

平安无事喽!

  陪老婆做了复查,一切正常,重新看了上次的检验结果,由于老婆眼花,把HIV阴性看成了血型RH阴性,所以一场虚惊,什么事都没有,敲了老婆两下头,“看你那脸也不像小概率事件对象啊”^^
  感到奇怪的是,为什么那些护士点孕妇人数的时候是“一只两只三只……”,难道真的把她们当它们?人道主义出差去了么-_||
  过几天终于可以全心全意投身我和Angus/xiami的open source project了,voila!感谢前些日子在blog里寄上祝福的朋友,也保佑你们,好心有好报,阿弥陀佛:)

[讣告]悼念外祖父,停止更新两天

  妻外祖父高长庆先生于是日下午三时三十分因罹患肺癌晚期并发感染导致器官衰竭医治无效不幸病逝,享年89岁。现定于六月二十三日上午十时大殓,妻因有喜,按照习俗不能参加祭奠,故届时由我代为吊唁。
  外祖父生前我也曾服侍左右,虽未如亲生,但缅怀甚犹。八九高年去世在“尤优”说来算是"Comedy Funeral",特别是肺癌病魔转移入骨,疼痛无以复加,此番折磨非如此高龄老人能忍受,于子女(吾岳父母)而言,日夜看护,虽心力交瘁犹未敢半点疏忽,况亦是年逾六旬。所幸临终之时子嗣皆守于床前送终,如此阖然长逝亦是解脱。
  岳母惟恐影响我们工作,至此夜深之时方告知噩耗。于此讣告,惟吾尤及之事。至六月二十三日之前所有事宜皆顺延,万分抱歉。

父亲节么?

  我是昨天父母走后才知道的,因为天气闷热也不想开电脑,他们走后才从Google的logo上得知的,我告诉老婆的时候她刚和老丈人讲完电话,我从来不注意这些洋节(即便是世界性的,也是老外发起的,不感兴趣),父母也从来不注意这些,可是今年却有一点点特别的感觉,因为我也快做父亲啦,可是我好象还是不会过父亲节-_||

永远要uninstall先!

 Firefox Reloaded

  抽空装了下Firefox 0.9。原先的0.8用得挺好的,装了些自己喜欢的theme和一大堆extension,实在是不太想升级,可是也想不出什么理由不升级,mozilla的东西我一直是紧跟的,于是就偷懒地覆盖安装了一下,结果是打不开,死活打不开,logout了也打不开,reboot了也打不开,poweroff了也打不开,degauss了也打不开,哇呀呀了也打不开,于是只好uninstall再reinstall,终于打开了,然后就......

 


仔细两张图看看有什么区别?

左边一张是unistall 0.8后在原0.8的安装目录中安装0.9,这时不能正确安装theme和extension
右边一张是uninstall 0.8后在新的目录中安装0.9,Profile之类的由0.8导入,一切运行正常

Credits
 Reloaded

安装界面

最后说一下某些bug,一些extension安装后需要restart firefox,结果重启一直显示正在完成安装插件的对话框,在傻等了若干分钟不见动静且任务管理器中firefox.exe的线程CPU占用率为0%的情况下,于是再开一个Firefox,竟然可以打开,然而那个对话框还在那里傻兮兮地installing extensions!解决的办法就是卸载那些惹是生非的插件。我这里是一个叫undoclosetab的插件,作用是恢复被关闭的标签窗口,其实还是蛮有用的,sigh~~~

虽是一个小插曲,记下来以防自己以后再犯类似错误,当然更多是给自己今后再犯错误时候看的,谁叫我老了呢,再sigh~~~

IPB 2.0.0 PDR 5 General Release

  这几天一直在陪老婆往返于医院和家之间。一个多星期前,老婆和老妈上街购物,可能是由于购物场所内的空气质量问题,结果感冒至今,于是只得每日走去挂点滴。孕妇用药特别谨慎,抗菌素更不可乱用一气,除了青霉素,MERCK诊疗手册上对其他多数抗菌素用于孕妇的安全性都持负面意见,所以也只能吊青霉素,自然药效不是很好,以至于一吊再吊,症状消褪得非常缓慢,实在叫人心焦,却又奈何~~~
  这样一忙,邮件都时常忘记收,刚刚打算睡觉,突然想起昨天都没收过邮件。于是便看到了IPS的订阅,通知IPB 2的PDR5发布,不知道会不会是PDR的最后一个版本,算来也应该差不多到RC1了,总之等待是漫长的,傻瓜都知道。

We have just released IPB 2.0.0 PDR 5 to the download area!

This release comes with proper IPB 2.0.0 documentation so be sure to read "readme.html" which can be found in the root folder of the download archive. This file details which files have changed since PDR 4 and which bugs this release fixes.
IPB 2.0.0 公共开发第五版已经开始提供下载。这次的版本提供了正确的文档,所以请务必仔细阅读readme.html文件,其中详述了公共开发第四版以来的文件更新和bug修复情况。

What's new?
更新

There are over 75 bug fixes in this release which fixes nearly all of the major and intermediate problems with previous releases and we've only the minor ones to fix before the first release candidate. I've also been working closely with the DB drivers team to ensure that the first release candidate of Invision Power Board 2.0.0 allows seamless integration with other database drivers. We've finalized the new installer methods with multi-database abilities and gone through all the core code to ensure maximum compatibility. This means that IPB 2 will be able to take advantage of very clean MSSQL and Oracle database drivers when IPB 2 is in final release format.
这个版本中修复了75个bug,基本上修复上一个版本中所有主要的和较主要的问题,这样在公共测试第一版之前我们只剩下一些较次要的小bug还有待修复。此外,我一直忙于数据库驱动组的编写,以确保IPB 2.0.0的第一个公测版能与其他数据库驱动完美整和。我们已经完成了全新的具备多数据库兼容能力的安装程序的函数方法,核查了所有的核心代码以确保最佳的兼容性。这意味着IPB2正式版在最终发布之时将完完全全能使用MSSQL和Oracle的数据库驱动。

Upgrading from previous versions of IPB 2.0.0
从IPB 2.0.0之前的公共开发版本升级

The upgrade system is still being used and seems to be successful. Please note the new location of the 'ipb_templates.xml' file which is now in the forum's root folder to make it easier to remember to upload when upgrading. This is a vital step as it is used to rebuild your templates and add new template sections into the master skin when required.
升级系统看上去很成功,所以这次仍继续使用。请特别注意install/installfiles/ipb_templates.xml文件的新位置,现在已经被移到论坛的根目录中了,这样做是为了方便大家记住在升级时一定要上传这个文件。这一步至关重要,因为它被用来重建模板以及在需要时向默认皮肤中添加新模板。

Important: Make sure you upgrade the following files
重要: 请确认您升级了以下文件!!!
upgrade/index.php
upgrade/core/functions.php
ips_kernel/class_db_mysql.php


Upgrading from IPB 1.3
从IPB 1.3版本升级

There is no upgrade path to upgrade from IPB 1.3 yet (still). I really wanted to get IPB 2.0.0 as stable as possible before letting it loose on established boards with real live data. PDR 5 is the most stable release to date and I can now begin work on the 1.3 -> 2.0 upgrader.
目前为止仍然没有办法从IPB 1.3升级到2.0.0。我期望在正式发布并应用于现实的公众论坛之前尽量调试以使IPB 2.0.0日趋稳定。PDR5是迄今为止最稳定的版本,因此我将会开始制作1.3 -> 2.0的升级程序。

What's next?
下一步

There are a small number of minor bugs left to fix before we get to RC1. We hope to bring you RC1 early next week if we continue the speedy pace we've achieved over the past few weeks.
在RC1发布之前仍然有少数比较次要的bug等待修复。按照几周来的开发速度预计,我们希望在下周的上半周向大家提供RC1。

Shareaza换汤,2.0.0.0登场

  几天没用Shareaza搜歌,昨天打开一看,2.0版已经在6月1日发布了,试用了一天下来,总体感觉没有什么大的变化,除了RocketX新设计的Shareaza OS皮肤的确比他以前的那款BlueStreak更KICK ASS外,似乎新功能不多,那个remote web access算是比较新鲜了,其实就是远端登录,当然权限是限制在软件内的。发现有个bug比较刺眼——如果你开着主窗口,直接从主窗口的菜单退出软件的话,那么你打开软件后新添加的搜索标签页将会全部丢失,此外软件启动后也不会像以前那样会自动继续原先已添加的搜索项目,而是需要手动去点Start Search,不太明白是出于什么考虑。
  同时,Shareaza官网也同时更新,也使用的RocketX设计的界面,比以前真是漂亮很多,而且还在原来IRCForum的基础上新开设了WIKI,看来自由分享的资源离不开自由分享的思想。
  其实当前的2.0.0.0版本尚未真正完成,还有部分功能处于开发调试中,所以固然有些许bug也不足为怪,作为同时支持EDonkey2000/Gnutella/BitTorrent/Gnutella2 (G2)的点对点(P2P)文件共享/传输软件,Shareaza始终是我的首选,虽然还有很多优秀的客户端,但是更喜欢Shareaza的小巧快速,用习惯了就不想挪窝了,更何况她为我下载的资源何止万兆...

美女过去时

 『书剑恩仇录』中饰演霍青桐

  这样的美女放到现在也是众星捧月的,所以美女不只是一颦一笑,留与世人的更多是头足之间的气韵,比如Audrey Hepburn,我基本上没有崇拜过什么偶像,她算是例外,还有上面这个她,例外之二,我要是不说你能猜到是谁么,别看她现在在屏幕上已经黄花菜了,别忘了美女都是过去时的。







前不久刚摆脱癌症病魔的阴影,上星期还在看她和罗嘉良的《创世纪》,香港影视界当之无愧的常青树,她就是——汪明荃

石頭的石

  昨天老婆的同事发给我一个MP3,说是惠普的客服的电话录音,果然有点搞笑,不过要更正的是,其实里面说的是台湾腔普通话,而且台湾本地语也不应该叫“台语”,大多数台湾人都是福建过去的闵南人,讲的都是闵南话,真正台湾本地的都是高山族人,讲的自然不是闵南话,更不是什么“台语”,“台语”这种说法是分裂祖国统一的那些TD分子拿来捅人的软刀子!同是港澳同胞,讲的都是“粤语”,也没听说什么“港语”、“澳语”。我老爸是闵南人,我叔祖在台湾。昨天老爸在电话里说到这个问题时非常气愤,说是国内一位著名的电影演员在报上发表了一篇文章抨击这种现象,他也非常想写篇文章去附和一下,可是家里装修,加上天热人懒,于是就搁置了。所以今天特地补充声明一下。OK,回过来说这块“石頭”,点一下播放按钮~~~

Apple release AirPort Express

 AirTune Cables


  苹果之于微软就有如2+1之于1+2一般,其实都一样,位置不同而已,所以呢,Bill出来见人的时候就总是一副engineer劳碌命的样子,卖着他的那些“提高人工作效率”的软件。Steve则活脱一个大男孩,“你跟我玩不玩?不玩我自己玩”,所以苹果在娱乐这方面远比微软更具亲和力。

  由此即使是饱受争议的Wi-Fi,在苹果的应用仍然是首先服务于娱乐。AirPort Express并不是什么新鲜的技术,讲穿了就是个小型基站,而它却同样秉承了苹果一向的“捆绑”习俗,我很讶异为什么大家都把Microsoft作为“捆绑销售”、“垄断”的代名词,其实Apple在这方面也是“罪恶昭彰”的。又应了前面的“加法”比喻,微软在这方面始终只是软件商,所以它的捆绑大多都是战略同盟的硬件支持,苹果则恰恰相反,作为硬件商,苹果是将Mac OS及各种专有软件捆绑到Machintosh上,大小通吃。所以想都不用想,AirPort Express势必“捆绑”了软件,至少是“配套”了一种概念,这次是AirTune,而事实上,藉此苹果的Wi-Fi应用触角已经向更多商务场所延伸了,并且Wi-Fi的好处是统一的无线协议接口,所以这次的AirPort是兼容Mac和PC的,看来为市场份额做了充分的准备。不过,如果没猜错的话,中国市场仍将一如既往地被架空,哎,我们国内的苹果粉丝实在太少啦一___一

In addition to the downloadable tools, Invisionize will be offering several hosted tools such as a secure password generator and dynamic image creation script.

IPB 2.0.0 PDR 4 General Release

  IPB 2.0.0的公共开发第四版比预定的6月2日晚了一小会儿,其实6月2日已经对注册用户开放下载,免费版本公开下载当然就晚了一天,其实这种细微的差别纯属心理因素,反正只要有得用,谁在乎多等24小时,matt万岁!!!(我是不是做得太明显了-_||)
  Anyway,今天的另一件使我有点迷雾的事情是,老婆的验血报告上说是RH阴性,这是十分罕见的血型,是因为血细胞中缺一个RH基因,带来的影响是在生产时如果胎儿的血是RH阳性,并通过脐带进入母体,而母体本身的抗体便会进行反击,这样最直接的后果便是胎儿出现新生儿溶血症,会是十分危险的事情。这种情况出现的比例大约在11%,明天陪老婆去确认一下,如果有必要需要在28周~32周时间内注射抗D抗体免疫球蛋白,以保护母体。总之,现在能做的只是自我安慰“吉人自有天相”,阿弥陀佛!_!
We have just released IPB 2.0.0 PDR 4 to the download area. This release comes with proper IPB 2.0.0 documentation so be sure to read "readme.html" which can be found in the root folder of the download archive. This file details which files have changed since PDR 3 and which bugs this release fixes.
IPB 2.0.0 公共开发第四版已经开始提供下载。这次的版本提供了正确的文档,所以请务必仔细阅读readme.html文件,其中详述了公共开发第三版以来的文件更新和bug修复情况。

Upgrading from previous versions of IPB 2.0.0
从IPB 2.0.0之前的公共开发版本升级

The only step not mentioned on the upgrade document is to add your board url to the conf_global.php.
Open "conf_global.php" from your IPB installation in a text editor (after downloading from your website)
Add the following line just before the "?>"
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://domain.com/forums';
(Replacing http://domain.com/forums with the actual URL to your IPB without a trailing slash)
Save the file and re-upload it to your webspace and CHMOD to 0666 (CHMOD optional)
升级文档中唯一没有提到的一个步骤是在你的conf_global.php中加入论坛的URL地址。
用文本编辑器打开下载下来的conf_global.php,在"?>"之前添加以下代码
$INFO['board_url'] = 'http://domain.com/forums';
注意将其中的http://domain.com/forums替换成你的IPB论坛的实际URL地址,地址后不要有斜杠。
存盘后上传覆盖原文件,并设置文件权限为可读(CHMOD 0666)。


If you're upgrading, please make sure that you upload "install/installfiles/ipb_templates.xml" before running the upgrade system (found in "upgrade/index.php"). The location of this file may move in future releases to prevent confusion.

The Inflatables - Pfffirate

 The Inflatables - Pfffirate

  两天前,也就是6月1日(儿童节哦),CGNetworks发布了动画短片《充气海盗》(The Inflatables - Pfffirate)及其作者,Vanguard AnimationGuillaume Herent的专访。
  这个短片作为他和Xavier AndreSupinfocom的毕业作品在当时就获得赞誉和奖项,以次短片的成功,Guillaume终于在Vanguard Animation任职Disney影片"Viliant"的动画师,Xavier也获得机会在法国著名大导演Luc Besson的'04新片"Arthur"中担当CG artist。
Wouldn't it be great to have your own boat, and sail the seven seas with the wind in your face? Perhaps not, if you're living in an inflatable world where anything sharp could result in perilous catastrophe. Such is the premise for Guillaume Herent and Xavier Andre's award-winning short film "Pfffirate". Guillaume recently spoke to CGNetworks about the production of the short film.

IPB 2.0.0 Dev Update #5 (1st June)

  IPB 2.0.0 RC1(Release Candidate 1,公共测试第一版)的发布日期推迟到六月中旬左右了,这是第五次开发更新日志,美国中部时间6月2日将发布PDR4(Public Develop Release 4,公共开发第四版),话说是明天,其实对我来说已经是今天了,anyway,翻好这篇就昏睡去~~~

This is the fifth IPB 2.0.0 development update. These updates are designed to keep you informed on the development progress of Invision Power Board v2.0.0.

We've almost completed IPB 2.0.0 PDR 4 which completes the database abstraction and rounds off some features.
IPB 2.0.0 公共开发第四版已经基本完成,数据库抽象层和一些其他功能在该版中都已完成。

This release took much longer to complete than expected due to the enormous task of going through each IPB source file (160+ files) and manually extracting the SQL statements to either put them in the queries file or convert them into the database abstracted methods. This is a vital step for allowing IPB 2 to be ported to different database systems and although it's taken a great deal of time, it's entirely justified by the flexibility the system allows.
完成这个版本比预期的时间要长好多,主要是由于这是个浩大的工程,几乎涉及了IPB的每一个原文件(160多个文件),而且要手动地将SQL语句提取到查询文档中,同时还要将它们转换成数据库抽象方法。这是使IPB 2可以移植到不同的数据库系统上的至关重要的一步,尽管耗时巨大,但是作为提高整个系统的灵活性和兼容性是尤为值得的。

Other items finished in this release are as follows:
本版中完成的其他一些项目:

* Skin import / export routines (export XML templates and XMLarchive image sets) 皮肤导入/导出程序(导出XML模板及XML存档的图片)
* Languages import / export routines (export XML language file) 语言导入/导出程序(导出XML语言文件)
* Re-designed mini-profile card (more info, better layout) 重新设计了袖珍资料卡(mini-profile card),可容纳更多信息,排版更合理

I've also fixed a few of the larger bugs so far (permission mask addition / removal, moderator addition, etc) and although we have many bugs left to fix before we get to RC1 status we're confident that they are minor and as such won't take long to work through.
同时也修正了一小部分目前为止比较大的bug(权限蒙板添加/删除,版主添加等等),当然在RC1之前仍然有很多bug等待修正,相信那些都是相对较次要的bug,不会耗费太多时间的。


Latest Release Date Estimates
新版本发布日期预计

PDR4 (next beta release): Wednesday 2nd June
RC1 (first supported release): No specific date - around the middle of June
公共开发第四版(下一个beta版本): 6月2日 星期三
公测第一版(开始提供支援): 日期未定 - 大约在6月中旬左右


Please note that these dates are only estimates and should only be used as a guide. They are subject to change without notice due to the unpredictable nature of software development. Put simply: they are dates that seem reasonable based on the current speed of development.
以上是预计日期,仅供参考。

What's left to do?
尚待完成的任务

We're nearly at the stage where IPB 2 reaches release candidate quality. The full feature set is now implemented (apart from a few minor tweaks and enhancements).
离预发布版本已经非常接近了。所有功能均已植入。

Skins and Languages
皮肤和语言

As mentioned in other announcements, the skins and language sets are not complete and will receive an overhaul during the development cycle. As a rule of thumb, the skins and langauges will not be complete until PR 1 (RC 1).
首要原则,皮肤和语言至少要等到公测第一版时才会完成。

Upgrading to PDR 4 from PDR 1,2 or 3
从公共开发第一、第二或第三版升级到第四版

We have initiated our new upgrade system and a new upgrade module will be written for PDR 4.
新的升级系统已经启用,将为第四版写一个升级模块。

Upgrading from 1.3 to 2.0.0
从1.3升级到2.0.0

There is currently no upgrade path from 1.3 to 2.0.0. We plan on writing the upgrade script for around PDR 4 (Beta 4) - possibly just after. Until then please don't try and import a 1.3 database into 2.0 - it simply won't work.
目前来说不能升级。计划在公共开发第四版的时候写升级脚本,在此之前请勿尝试将1.3的数据库导入至2.0,结果只能是不能用。

今天是六一国际儿童节

祝小朋友们节日快乐

Leaving On A Jet Plane from Chantal Kreviazuk

极度喜欢的一首歌,Bruce Willis主演的电影Armageddon(国内翻成《绝世天劫》)的插曲,片中本·阿弗莱克饰演的AJ与丽芙·泰勒饰演的女友拥别时的动情演唱赢得同伴集体附和的镜头甚为感人。

Leaving On A Jet Plane

I'm ... I'm ...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane
