现场看中国残疾人艺术团的表演真的很震撼

These are purified art and artists.

非常幸运,fish同学帮我们买到了第一排的位子,在Her Majesty's Theatre,平时上演Phantom Of Opera的剧院。第一排可能不是最好的欣赏千手观音的位置和角度,但是这个角度足以让我仰视这些艺术家。看得我一直都很激动,眼泪在眼圈里转阿转的一直到结束。

其间好多节目我都不由得wow了出来,真的是很美,很绝。恐怕正常人都难以超越这个境界。

想到了圣斗士中的沙加。平时不用闭起眼睛这一感,来积攒能
量,一旦睁开双眼,将有难以估量的能量释放。我觉得这些残疾人艺术家就是如此,盲人和肢残者用他们的声音来诠释自己感触的世界,这可能是正常人眼所更难发现的另外一个更真实更美好的是世界和艺术的表现;而聋哑者则用起舞蹈来找到自己的韵律和节奏。这些被诠释的艺术可能是至纯的吧。



这些视频是用我的iphone 2m的camera拍的,不足之处,请忍。。。

灾区人民可以抱怨,其他人多做贡献,少废话

本来不想写什么关于这次5.12四川汶县8级地震,只是在我的twitter里记录了这个事件的发生。

我是一个党员,我觉得我自己是货真价实的,我集体观念和意识很强,虽然我喜欢看英雄主义题材的电影,但是我个人一直是相信集体,不愿以自己的意识来影响其他人,我希望世界是丰富多彩,而不是千篇一律的;我真的甚至很相信我党,这可能比较可笑。

我也是非常乐观和阳光的一个人,我很少看悲剧和恐怖电影,就连摄影展我也不愿意看那些反映阴暗面的,能反映阴暗面的艺术家在我眼里最多是二流,而真正能把美好的事情表现的无比美好,这才是真正的艺术;我希望,而且也确实如此,生活当中太多太多美好的东西,每天多看看这些,就知道活着是件多么幸福的事情了。我不羡慕那些所谓深刻的人,以他们的视角,生活太过丑陋,我情愿做像我这样的单纯的阿Q,把幸福留给自己,把痛苦留给那些为赋新词强说愁的有想法的人类吧。相比之下,我觉得我这种境界更为高明,至少我自己一直是这么认为。

恩,说了太多自己的东西,回到我想说的topic上吧。四川地震刚过,看到了很多感人的报告和义举,这几天每每看新闻报道,我都会热泪盈眶,鼻塞,珊珊没有我这么多愁善感,她一听到我抽鼻子的声音就会笑话我。可是不出所料,很快就看到不计其数的个人评论开始大量出现,每个人都是媒体,这点很好,可是他们的想法中怎么就这么多批判意识呢。就像那些八卦新闻,没有一个明星是完美的,都被那些八卦无聊的媒体和个人批个体无完肤,似乎以此彰显自己的个性,同样这次地震的反馈也是,那些批评之词就要赶超那些感人的报道了,什么建筑师都在干嘛,为什么救援部队2,3天才到,有多少人死于这段时间,我就纳闷说这些话的人怎么不动动脑子,建筑的偷工减料,经过这次的事情,政府会无动于衷吗?那些救援部队的官兵会看不到吗,这些事情交给我们的集体去处理就好了;而且没有学过建筑的,即便学过建筑的也不该妄加指责,这种天灾人祸和建筑的投入也需要和当时的资金情况相符合,不可能我们要建一个楼,必须达到五角大楼的施工质量才可以批准建造。
不过话说回来,那些点到“密集人群的活动场所,比如学校,施工质量和针对突发事件的设计需要加强”这个内容的文章都不错,不过妄加批评的和八卦新闻无异。
还有些人很极端,我要是不在我的msn签名中加个彩虹,我就冷血,我就没人性,etc.他们这种忧国忧民的意识很值得赞扬,不过不知道他们是否想过,这件事清牵动的不是他一个人,而是所有地球上的人类,不用他说,我也会想着为灾区做点什么;更让我不舒服的事,我加了那个彩虹,他和我说谢谢,我真的是很火,如果你要是受灾家属,我接受,如果不是,不用他谢,让人很反感,还是那种感觉,似乎只有他关心灾区,别人都冷血。这样的行动我不反对,不过太过离谱就没那必要,有那个时间,还是对灾区对祖国多做些事实,打一小时工然后捐款更有用,毕竟大家都不是聋子和瞎子,我们可以看到很多的报道,不用你来指挥我们做“善事”。
再有就是有人开始崇洋媚外了,这点我一直都很不喜欢。日本救援队挖出尸体后,排队默哀若干分钟。于是就有很多个人的评论出现说日本如何尊重生命。我看了这些有点为我们的军人鸣不平,如果我们的救援部队和志愿者每每就出一个人就如此,那在这段时间里又有多少人会死去,我觉得日本那种态度反倒愚蠢,相反,中国的将士,尤其四川籍的军人,他们是如何忍着内心的痛苦的在救援,他们即便没有任何言语和行动上的表示,可是夸张日本默哀的人是否会想到我们的军人内心是如何的痛苦呢。

负面新闻看得不多,希望看到更多好的报道,少点抱怨,世界会更好。

web brower family

Firefox : Gecko
Epiphany : Gecko
Konqueror : Khtml
Safari : WebKit (basing on core of Khtml)



Safari was based on the KHTML core that was developed for konqueror, however there are two parallel development processes: KHTML for KDE and WebKit for Safari. They do frequently share code and patches, but the two browsers are not identical.

Matlab bugs about call external programs, such as Python

When I upgrade my OS to Ubuntu 8.04 and Matlab to Matlab 2008a, which is a fantastic version with a lot of optimizations and bug fixes.

But when I run my Matlab scripts, which using [system('python temp4python.py')] to do more system level jobs, I was prompted such a error message I've never seen before:/usr/local/matlab/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by......

Why?
This similar message (or something like it) means that the loader is
linking to the versions of libstdc++ libraries supplied with Matlab,
and those versions do not correspond to the versions that your version
of Python was compiled against.


The fix!
(for me) was to navigate to the offending folder (/usr/local/matlab/sys/os/glnx86)
and make a new directory "old", and move all libstdc and libgcc files
into the "old" directory. Once done, the loader will be unable to link
with these libraries, and will be forced to use the ones installed in
your distribution instead.

Gnome-Do, super! set it up.

1. Install it.
2. Download extra plugins for it from its official website: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomeDo/Plugins
3. Try to run every plugins, in this way, the corresponding config files will be generated. (You should goto 'gconf-editor'->apps->gnome-do->plugins to modify most of them.)

View log files using GUI tools using the GNOME System Log Viewer


System Log Viewer is a graphical, menu-driven viewer that you can
use to view and monitor your system logs. System Log Viewer comes with
a few functions that can help you manage your logs, including a
calendar, log monitor and log statistics display. System Log Viewer is
useful if you are new to system administration because it provides an
easier, more user-friendly display of your logs than a text display of
the log file. It is also useful for more experienced administrators, as
it contains a calendar to help you locate trends and track problems, as
well as a monitor to enable you to continuously monitor crucial logs.


You can start System Log Viewer in the following ways:


Click on System menu > Choose Administration > System Log:


(The GNOME System Log Viewer)


Note you can start the GNOME System Log Viewer from a shell prompt, by entering the following command:

$ gnome-system-log &

ID3 Tag problem with Rhythmbox:: Linux Music Player

Compared with famous Amarok, I prefer to Rhythmbox, which keeps Gnome features, such as, simple interface, plugins supports.

But when playing with music players between Windows and Linux, I found it seems two kinds of ID tags were used.

1) In Windows, I can modify the tags with Foobar2000 easily. But in Explore, some of the tags of some mp3 are not available. Does this mean there are two kinds of or versions of ID tag are used?

2)
2.1) In Linux, this is more weird. From file property->Audio tab, we can get some tag info of this mp3 file, But sometime it's different from showing in Rhythmbox and Amarok. Does this also mean two kinds of or versions of ID tag are used? Similar bugs are reported such as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/easytag/+bug/120538.

2.2) Some mp3's ID tag is not allowed to modify using Rhythmbox (but such mp3 files can be modified previously, this is quite weird, but after some operation, they becomes not allowed to modify). In this case, you can solve this problem by adding a mp3 file, which you can modify its ID tag, and those mp3 files you can not modify to a same playlist. Start from the file you can modify by right clicking->property to modify, then goto others, in this way, all ID tags can be modified. However all these modified information stored in another places, not in the file property ->Audio tab ( in Nautilus, not in Rhythmbox). So I do think there are two types or versions of mp3 ID tag are used.


Solutions:
=====================
Install Foobar2000 in wine. Add those weird mp3 files into foobar playlist, select them then righ click to TAGGING, here you can select what kind of ID TAG you want to use on those mp3 files.

Foobar in Wine just can change the typge of ID TAG, while not modify the content of ID TAG, which will be availabe to be modified after foobar processing.

Wine Go for Chinese Fonts

首先wine自己的系统中必须有中文字体,我的Ubuntu系统中已经安装了宋体,这也是Windows Vista之前的几个版本的系统使用的中文字体,所以:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts

ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/simsun.ttf simsun.ttc


当然,也可以将该字体复制到fonts目录,这里直接建立连接,省空间。


然后修改wine的注册表:


vi ~/.wine/system.reg


找到“[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Hardware Profiles\\Current\\Software\\Fonts]”,将其中的““LogPixels”=dword:00000060”改成““LogPixels”=dword:00000070“。


再找到”[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\FontSubstitutes] 1144897563“项,将其中的”MS Shell Dlg“相关的两项修改成如下内容(即更换字体为宋体):


“MS Shell Dlg”=”SimSun”

“MS Shell Dlg 2″=”SimSun”


然后:


vi ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/win.ini


将”Desktop“块修改成如下内容(即增大字体):


[Desktop]

menufontsize=13

messagefontsize=13

statusfontsize=13

IconTitleSize=13

Utah Jazz sucks

乔丹年代,马龙和斯图克顿打得那叫一丑陋,但是每每都能到达总决赛,不过每次都成为乔丹的牺牲品。当时虽然就不喜欢他们,但是还是觉得他们挺可怜的,遇到了公牛的鼎盛时期。

这两年,火箭连续两次都在季后赛首轮被Utah Jazz淘汰,而且虽然换了一批人,但是打球风格依旧丑陋,什么威廉姆斯,布泽尔,基里连科,丑的不行,他们进攻的时候我干脆靠听的。我现在更加讨厌他们了。不知道大兵还是否喜欢他们,弄不明白他当年怎么会喜欢马龙斯图克顿领先的Utah。
火箭呢,一直是不温不火的,当年奥拉朱旺和德雷克斯勒夺冠也是半个赛季(因球员罢工耽搁半年),勉勉强强。

唉,Jazz和Rockets都让我看着够郁闷的。

Restore All Installed packages in Ubuntu Hardy Heron and to a New machine


The following command creates a list of all the installed packages at the present time:

sudo dpkg --get-selections > /etc/package.selections

Now
we created our package list and we can copy this list to a new ubuntu
computer and install the same packages in the list to the new machine
or, restore the packages to the time you created the package list:

sudo dpkg --set-selections < /etc/package.selections && apt-get dselect-upgrade

The above command will uninstall all packages installed after you created your restore list.

那天傻彬兴致勃勃地跑过来,

“‘Just do it!’是啥意思?”

我正琢磨着给她个完美的答案,

彤彤姐脱口而出:“干去吧!”

[贰]

最近要换地方住了, 昨个晚上熄灯了,大家在各自的床上找着各自得劲的姿势。

只听傻彬问:“胸大小到底是和啥有关系呢?”

“遗传。”

“那不对啊,我妈胸挺大的啊,我的咋......”那家伙“腾”一下子蹿起来。

彤彤姐说了一句话那是给我报了这么多年仇啊——

“你遗传了你爸的!”
