Some tips on using Vyatta
Posted in IT, Software, Study, University of Otago, thoughts, tagged Info334, University of Otago, Vyatta on September 23, 2007 | 4 Comments »
In the past two days, I have spent quite some time in the G02 networking lab using Vyatta. Vyatta is a really powerful tool yet very easy to configure. Here are some of the things that I have learnt (“experienced” is probably a more suitable word) while using the Vyatta on the lab [...]
Google拼音输入法无法同步!
Posted in IT, Software, thoughts, tagged 谷歌, 输入法, Google on September 23, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Google拼音输入法的同步功能是我放弃紫光的其中一个原因, 但今天写blog的时候突然发现自己的输入法已经在9月13日停止了更新。
寻找适合自己的拼音输入法
Posted in IT, Software, thoughts, tagged 谷歌, 输入法, Google on September 22, 2007 | 3 Comments »
清华紫光输入法我从Win98的时代就开始用,也算是一款“历史悠久”的软件。 那时候我比较喜欢看一本叫《数码时代》的电脑杂志。这本杂志每一期都有附送一张CD光盘,上面有不少软件,漫画,壁纸和mp3之类的。 刚开始接触紫光输入法的时候就发现它非常“智能化”。 例如“空格键选词”,“词库备份”也算是一些比较新鲜和实用的功能。 但随着时间的推移,紫光在输入法方面好像没有下多少功夫,最新版的V6 beta 3里面的设置界面更是令人狂抓! 所以上个月起我便开始寻找代替紫光的输入法。

The Dunedin Microsoft Student Day was held in room 2.20 in commerce building on Tuesday…and it was a huge success! The turn out rate was quite good; more than 50 people have turned up for the event…which is not bad consider this is the first time we have this in Dunedin.
Hey Juliet – 奥林巴斯(相机)广告

不知道现在还有没有人记得奥林巴斯以前的一个相机广告,用的是LMNT的一首叫做Hey Juliet的歌。 这几天突然想重新看一下,所以上YouTube搜索了Hey Juliet这首歌,居然给我发现了这首歌的MTV和原版广告! 个人认为这个广告拍得非常好,特别是那首歌,选得太适合了
