Mr.Norton, My Mem Ram is Running Out

Even though I’m a linux daily-user, I still need Windows to do some PS, cyberbank things. A robust firewall is defly needed to me for system security and privacy protection. Symantec’s Norton Series have been my No.1 choice for almost 7 yrs (I used it from 2001 to 2007), it provides remarkable protection for my Windows XP+SP2 (never run Windows Update).

But after a few updates from Symantec recently, my system encountered serious Memory Leaks prob. I have a 50G+ partition which contains gigs of Mp3s, and lots of movies and videos. The NIS almost uses up both of my virtual and physical memory when doing the scanning on that Big partition, and it stops responding before finishing the scan. So I have to kill it manually, and my system becomes huge slow, which is barely tolerable.

I am never an antivirus software fan, basically i’d rather remove the virus by myself, I use Symantec’s NIS just becuz of their robust firewall. But they dont provide standalone firewall software, but packed with their Norton Antivirus into Norton Internet Security. The antivirus software takes too much memory, and it is just not the reason why i use NIS. So finally I decided to remove the whole NIS thing.

Now I’m using a free firewall named Comodo, which provides many advanced features and by far meets my need. What’s more, it’s quite SLIM! Look at my tasklist now. It only takes up 12MB memory.

The Maple

上周利用周末是时间和周威一起回了趟家,星期天回了趟母校。一是了解下苏老师过世前的情况,和以前的高中老师打打照面;二是和周威一起做一份纪念苏老师的校园报刊。

一切都算很顺利,上午去了苏老师生前最后教的两个班,希望同学们可以写点关于苏老师的文章,他们都很早就写好了,只要下午去拿就行了。中午邀了两个高中的老师一起吃饭。下午赶回萍中收了大概10篇稿件,加上来自我们那届的一些同学的稿子,收集好东西后跑周威家开始做这东西,他负责word排版(Office系列我是完全白痴),我负责美工,还找了以前的高中语文老师帮忙校对,一直忙活到晚上2点多。然后一大早跑到复印店打印了100份,直接送到萍中,交给其中一个班负责发放到全校进行传阅。也得到了教务处的支持,留了份原始档给他们,负责老师办公室的发放。忙活到中午回家吃了午饭,跑KFC买了杯咖啡(实在太困了),然后下午2点搭火车回了学校。

这是我们忙活一晚上的成果-《枫之舞-纪念苏晓雯老师特刊》,点击下载PDF文档 (Pt. 1, Pt. 2),竟然不知道PDF为何物者请看这个网页版的。

希望苏老师在另一个世界健康快乐。

New Site : Blogbus Hack

Blogbus Hack在捣鼓了两篇blogbus hack文章之后,决定在blogbus上搭个专门的blogbus hack博客http://blogbus-hack.blogbus.com。以后就专门在这个blog上写blogbus hack了。

我看…我还是有必要解释下hack这个词,因为太多人把它误以为是个贬义词,专指破坏程序电脑的了。如果有看过The Blue Nowhere (蓝色虚拟空间) 这本小说的人就应该很清楚,在国外黑客(hacker)和骇客(cracker)是有区别的,hacker指专门发掘漏洞,提供补丁和各种增强工具的”好”人,而cracker才是真正黑人电脑搞破坏偷信息的贼。所以,我所指的blogbus hack意思就是专门提供发掘一些非官方的小技巧,在官方未修正完善某些功能之前,通过hack方式来弥补完善它,同时,也会搜寻一些未能被官方采用的私人制作模板,小程序等等。希望有兴趣有能力的同学也可以一同来做这个事。

That means, I’m back to Blogbus with you guys! (我还真没少拉人到blogbus下写blog,如果blogbus像dreamhost主机那样有affiliate回扣的话…)

另外,花了大概一个星期稀里糊涂的弄了个blogbus的主题(PDK Indigotine),已配合这个新blog。至于这个新主题的话,等我调试几天再发布吧。老实说,这几天天天对着这个theme作PS, coding,我已经极度厌倦/不满意这个theme了。

R.I.P 苏老师

高中教我历史的苏老师因为脑癌突然离开了,真的非常可惜,才30出头,女儿也就5,6岁的样子。可贵的是苏老师在去世后捐献了自己的角膜,she’s one of the best women i ever see so far。

回想起来苏老师那会对我不错,很是愧疚去年过年时回母校也没去看她,今年暑假也没有…决定下周五回母校一趟。

突然觉得,如果可以的话,我愿意代替任何人死去。我知道,说这话很装逼,毕竟这根本不可能。I’m not that guy who’s afraid of death, but i am really scared of watching someone i know passing away, its never been an easy thing。

想起了My Chemical Romance的那首Cancer,献给苏老师:

Blogbus Hack 2 : 打造Tag Clouds效果

最近在弄个blogbus的模板,折腾了几天,难产again…暂时性转移到另一个idea上来,给blogbus的tags输出做成tag clouds(标签云)效果。什么是Tag呢? 自己去看blogbus的help吧。什么是Tag Clouds呢? 请看下面这个效果图,tag文字大小依据使用频率多少区分开来,使用Tag Clouds可以更清楚的传达what’s your blog all about,更多的信息看SmashingMagazine的这篇文章Tag Clouds Gallery: Examples And Good Practices吧。

wptags

Blogbus的tag输出方式是固定的,排列顺序由使用最多的到使用最少的,你可以设定显示tag的数目,为了更好的Tag Clouds效果,建议设置显示数目大点(太大了,也不是件好事,至于为什么,我待会再说)。正是因为Blogbus的封装处理,要hack这种Tag Clouds效果只能从javascript+CSS入手了 (:此hack不适用于旧版blogbus模板系统)
