搬家啦~~

经过激烈的思想斗争和紧张的准备工作, 本blog最终正式搬迁至 http://blog.qevan.com blog名更为"果树". 虽然"果树"名字挺傻的,但比原来的qevanblog好听一点.大家担待了:)

欢迎订阅新的rss:
Feedburner提供的:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/guoshu
Feedsky提供的:
http://feed.feedsky.com/guoshu

直接使用google reader订阅,请点下面连接
http://www.google.com/ig/add?feedurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2Fguoshu

btw, 为什么有两个rss连接呢?
简而言之,就是因为feedburner被gfw了,只好找了个替代的国内服务商feedsky.
feedburner做的很好,尤其在被google收购后,原来pro收费的版本也免费了.可续它被gfw了.如果国内直接访问(例如用feeddeamon)是不行的. 如果用google reader这样服务器在国外的online rss reader是没问题的.所以还是欢迎使用google reader订阅的. 国内的抓瞎也是可以的(没长期使用过,不知道是否稳定)
而feedsky是国内的rss提供商,更适合国内用户,没有gfw的问题.

btw2, 为什么不用原来的qevanblog的feedburner直接burn新的rss?
因为blog转过来之后,所有的帖子的unique id(一般是url)已经变掉, 如果用原来的feedburner的rss直接burn新的话, 新blog里从旧blog里转来的帖子会和原来的重复, 让人感到不舒服. 全新的blog还是改用新的rss吧.有劳大家点击订阅一下了.

搬家?不搬?

最近买了个空间,dreamhost 的,60+刀,用了别人的优惠券,奖励一个独立IP+另一个域名。于是,心里痒痒想搬家了。
可是blogger上的服务真的很好,现在新的测试版draft.blogger.com还支持一个动态search本blog的功能,以及庞大的gadget群。用blogger最省事,可惜就是被河蟹了啊。。
搬家?不搬,是个问题。
继续考虑中。。。

LightRoom 2.0 beta does not support catalog from 1.x

I downloaded lightroom 2.0 beta from quite long ago, but didn't have time to install. I just installed it and found surprisingly it does not support my old 1.x catalog file!!
It said this when I open 1.x catalog:

The Lightroom catalog named “qevan” cannot be opened because it must be upgraded and the public beta of Lightroom 2.0 does not currently support upgrading catalogs from earlier versions.
If you wish to work with this catalog, open it with Lightroom 1.4 or earlier.


Do not be evil! I have to uninstall it and go back to 1.4. Hope after beta, LR 2.0 will support old catalog upgrade.

Last time, I spend too much time to turn to LR from picasa. But now I doubt if LR can last long. I wanna try apple's aperture if I have a Mac sometime.

上个月招行卡里钱不多了,没有能全额还款,在大概15天后,补全了,结果,本月账单到了,收了我30+块钱的利息。
嗷嗷,还蛮多的。

How To Migrate iTunes Libarary On Windows

Recently I got a new computer, so I need to migrate my iTunes Library to my new computer. Here is the way how I successfully did it.

  1. Assume you have all the music files an podcast in one folder. (Mine are organized by iTunes)
  2. Copy all the musics to the new computer.
  3. Open iTunes on the new computer, goto Edit->Preference (Ctrl+,), change the settings to your old settings. For me, the most important are "iTunes Music folder location" and "Keep iTunes Music folder organized", "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library".
  4. Copy two files: "iTunes Library.itl" & "iTunes Music Library.xml" under "[My Documents]\My Music\iTunes\" to the same location on your new computer.
  5. Open "iTunes Music Library.xml" with a text editor (notepad is OK). Replace all path of old location by new location. NOTE: the path delimiter iTunes uses is "/" rather than "\".
  6. Done. Open iTuens to see if it takes effect. All the songs should show up as well as all your playlists.

UPDATE: The coolest thing is when my iPhone connected to my new computer, iTunes recognized my iPhone immediately as if my iPhone is sync-ed with this computer. So I wonder if I can use this method to sync iPhone/iPod with two computers.

刚才洗澡时候,正洗头,突然听到嘶嘶的响声,觉得有点奇怪,仰头一看,热水器的电线上火光四射,哇~靠~!
我大叫一声,赶紧侧身离开水,防止水中带电。
接着三四秒后,外面ajay过来了,问我有事没。我回过神,让他赶紧关掉外面电的开关。我立即也把里面的水关掉。火光消失了,剩下一块烧焦的电线。
这时我发现屋里屋子里焦味好重,烧焦的塑料的味道,非常刺鼻,呛得肺难受。我立即拿毛巾沾湿水,捂住嘴。还忍不住的咳嗽。

有惊无险,还好。 今天没事估计伤了不少人品。接下来注意积攒人品吧。

Olympic in Beijing MVs

《奥运北京》(内地版)

开头每个人摆pose挺傻的。
看的我挺想要一套Tshirt和他们手里的吉祥物。不知要多少RMB。。
唱的好热闹,人好多。总体上没啥创意,和很久以前的《明天会更好》基本一样。
不过主旋律的东西,比较难创新。曲子感觉不错就好。而且好在适合大家一人一句的唱。
在我找到的国语、粤语、还有马来语版的,每个都是这种类型的合唱MV。


《奥运北京》(香港版)

好多大牌。
既然是香港版,为何不唱粤语? 有些人的普通话很生疏,唱的味道也有点不足。
画质很差,期待清晰版。
里面的旁白"Olympic"有点傻。

Olimpik Di Beijing 马来版

马来语版的来了。
其中认识的有光良,和等等了。。。

据说还有英文,西班牙文版的。
我已经听了三遍了,暂时不想再找了。。

希望大家喜欢。
