iPad怎么用? February 15th, 2010

  1. 怎么能一边上网一边聊天?看起来唯一的可能是使用基于Mobile Safari的网页聊天客户端。要是用notification,真能把人整疯了。
  2. 用什么姿势使用?到现在为止,看到的所有video上,要想打字的话,似乎只能采取半卧姿,把iPad放在倾斜的腿上,才能腾出双手并保持屏幕的可视

春节! February 13th, 2010

新的一年,新的开始。

I was trying to adopt a new desktop blog client rather than Textmate. I found different blog client handles iso date format differently.

Some of them add a ‘Z’ and the end of date, some of them not.

Micolog’s RPC API supports both situations now.

Safari is fast to start. Firefox is too slow, Chrome still has no extensions support on Mac.


对于大部分美国IT公司来说,主要的市场还是在北美,通常会占全球收入的50%左右,欧洲(EMEA, Europe, Middle East, Africa)其次,会占约30~40%,其余的在亚太区。

亚太区的主要收入,通常来自澳洲和日本,南亚也不错,中国通常占亚太区的比例不会超过20%。

所以,中国分公司占全球的比例,通常在1%~5%之间,很少有能达到10%的情况出现。

中国,对于这些国外的IT公司来说,更多的还是未来,是给投资者的交待,而不是其利润的重要来源。

In this post, I summarized how to config VMware Fusion 2's network.

For the new VMware Fusion 3, it's much easier. VMware Fusion 3 has a separate configuration file for networking only. The file is:

/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/networking

A sample file as following:

VERSION=1,0
answer VNET_1_DHCP no
answer VNET_1_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
answer VNET_1_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 172.16.125.0
answer VNET_1_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER no
answer VNET_1_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER_ADDR 172.16.125.1
answer VNET_8_DHCP no
answer VNET_8_DHCP_CFG_HASH E7EBB6E40048285A05D25835904AFD8BEC1CD2B2
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_NETMASK 255.255.255.0
answer VNET_8_HOSTONLY_SUBNET 192.168.42.0
answer VNET_8_NAT yes
answer VNET_8_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER yes
answer VNET_8_VIRTUAL_ADAPTER_ADDR 192.168.42.1

You just change entries accordingly, then do sudo ./boot.sh --restart to active the new config.

When composing an email in Apple Mail. Unless the receivers are all use Apple Mail, then please make sure you put all the attachments at the end of message.

Apple Mail display certain types of attachments inline. So when you compose an email as <some text> + <attachments> + <more text>, Apple Mail will encode the whole message as:<some text> + <encoded attachments> + <encoded text attachment of the more text>

If you got such an email and read it in Apple Mail, it will be decoded correctly and still keep the attachment displayed between texts. But for other email clienst, it just <some text> + 2 attachments ! This will bother you more when you have a signature defined. There will always be some text after the attachments until you manually rearrange them.

If you put all attachments at the end of message. Apple Mail will encode correctly.

So, to be friendly to other clients, esp. Windows clients. Please keep the following 2 options selected:

1. Edit->Attachments->Always Send Windows Friendly Attachments

2. Edit->Attachments->Always Insert Attachments at The End of Message
