Activate Link Splicer Service

Since before, when I browse the articles in the bloglines, I saw many bloggers’ feeds have a summary post of their del.icio.us links, but when I followed into their blog site, I couldn’t find any post of that. Nevertheless, I found their feeds were all supplied by FeedBurner.

Just now, I went on the FeedBurner site and tried to find if there’s any option I can activate the feature. That is the Link Splicer. The only thing I have to do is providing my del.icio.us ID. After activating it, I can successfully see the links I collect today in the feed.

My del.icio.us daily collection is almost Chinese news and informations, that seems not very suitable with this mainly English articles site, but maybe that will be a little useful for me to review the links I collect everyday.

If you want to subscribe the del.icio.us-links-containing version, here it is. Of course, the original feed url will also be available.

系辦圓夢開機

跨年日早早上床睡了，新年的第一天也還蠻早起床的，不過打開電腦又發現圓夢掛了，有沒有搞錯啊！那有人過年在停電的，不過有了上次偷溜進去的經驗，這次倒是一點也不擔心，反正出去走走也不錯。 Keep Reading

Upgrade To WordPress 2.0

I upgraded this site to WordPress 2.0. It didn’t took me more than 20 minutes. (In fact, it could be done in less than 5 minutes. I was too cautious. >_< )

The most important feature of WP 2.0 is the WYSIWYG editor. Some people said that it’s not easy to use, but it seems I got used of it very quickly, and I thought it is an important improvement for those who don’t understand HTML syntax very much.

There is no obvious difference in the layout, and it’s lucky that all the plugins I use still work after the upgrade. Hope there’s really nothing wrong, otherwise, I’ll get crazy fixing them in the Final-Exam-Period Exploration. :p

2005.12.28 UPDATE: I disabled the WYSIWYG editor because it’ll break the TachnoTag plugin. @_@

My First Translation For OSS

Last week, I changed my Gmail Notifier, a firefox extension, to Gmail Manager, which can manage several gmail accounts at the same time. I love the feature. But, the extension is too new that it doesn’t have a Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) locale files, but it has a Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) locale files and firefox will use zh-CN, which is similar to zh-TW.

I don’t like this to happen, so I just spent about 1 hour making the new locale files and sent the patch to the author. This is the first time I translate the locale files for an open-source software. Hope he will receive this and applies to the new release of Gmail Manager quickly. :p

Recently

Last Friday, I finished the anesthesiology exam. It finally came the relaxed time. In addition to sleeping more than 12 hours a day, I also spent a lot of time with my computer.

During these days, I set a online service of browsing the source codes in the subversion repository with a software called Trac. In order to make it work properly, I have to add mod_python into the Apache. And when I tried to browse an article in the BBS repository, I encountered the problem of wrong charset encoding. Even I tried to ask in2 on IRC about the setting of Trac, although at last I solved it on my own. The problem is, that article uses a Chinese character encoded in Big5, which UTF-8 doesn’t have, so the converting process failed. Keep Reading

iframe Is Useful

In October, I found that my 23 account was upgraded to a PLUS one, then in the whole Oct., I uploaded 3GB+ photos to 23 and integrate a 23 badget to the Hsien-Chih’s blog. But the javascript of the badget has to connect the 23 server, get urls of the photos that want to be shown, and then write to the document. Maybe the connection quality between 23 server and here is not very well, I have to wait about 3 to 5 seconds that the page can be fully shown. I don’t like the method 23 uses, but I have no time and ability to modify it.

十月的時候，我忽然發現我在23的帳號被升級成PLUS的版本，整個十月我大概塞了3GB多的圖片進去吧，而且利用23提供的badget功能在咸池國樂部落格裡放了一個。不過那個badget裡跑的javascript要先連到23的server，抓到要顯示圖片的網址後，再寫到網頁裡，可能是連線的速度不夠快，每次都要等個三到五秒才能把整頁顯示完，雖然我不太喜歡他們這樣搞，不過我也沒啥時間沒啥能力來解決。

Today, I saw this page about integration of BubbleShare photos. The method it uses is iframe. After some trial-and-errors, I succeeded. Now Hsien-Chih’s blog can show the article contents before the 23 server’s dealing. That’s great. All I have to say is, “There are so many things that I don’t know about the internet techniques.”

不過今天我看到這篇有關把BubbleShare整合到網頁裡的文章，它用的方法是iframe。我花了一點時間總算成功了。現在咸池國樂部落格在等23的server處理完前，可以先把所有文章的內容顯示完，這樣不是很好嗎。我只能讚嘆：internet上的小技巧還有很多是我不知道的呀！

Google AdSense Referral Program

From Solidot.org, Google announced a AdSense referral program. Originally, I was not very interested in the new feathur, because in nearly one year, I haven’t received any check from Google. The click rate on my site is too low. But I think I can just place a button only in this post, and the result maybe is not so important. ^^a

根據 Solidot.org 的消息，Google 推出了一個推薦使用 AdSense 的方案。原先我對這個方案沒什麼太大興趣，因為我放了一年 AdSense 的廣告結果現在也沒收過半張支票，我站上的廣告點擊率實在是太低了。不過我還是在這篇裡放一個連結好了，至於結果如何，就隨意啦…

UPDATE: According to this page, there must be only one referral link in a page. So I can’t put the Chinese version button, although the Chinese one is in Simplified Chinese, not Traditional Chinese, which I use.

更新：不過根據這頁的說明，一個頁面裡只能有一個推薦連結，所以我只好放棄放雙語版本的連結啦！不過它提供的中文樣式也不是我平常用的正體中文，是簡體的啦。

UPDATE 2: Oh… because there is a existed adsense in my template page, that means I can’t put any new adsense, including this referral link. I can just leave it empty, maybe someday I can find a way to resolve this.

更新2：因為我原先每一頁都有放一個 adsense，意味著我不可能再多放一個新的，所以只好先不放了，不過希望哪一天我或許可以想到一個解決的方法。

Trying Auto-Discovery Trackback

It seems that WordPress can find all the trackback urls in the posts and trackback them automatically, but FancyBlog can’t. I tried googling something, and then find this by ijliao. Just now, I copied the trackback_url function from WP and modified it for FancyBlog. I don’t know whether FancyBlog works correctly or not, but let’s take a try… ^^a

WordPress 似乎有個功能是可以自動搜尋文章裡的 trackback url，然後自動幫你 trackback，不過因為圓夢的Blog系統似乎沒辦法被自動trackback，所以花了點時間找資料，結果找到 ijliao 的這篇，剛剛就很高興的把 WP 的 trackback_rdf() 偷過來改一下，不知道現在這樣圓夢Blog能不能自動被 trackback 到… 試一下看看好了… ^^a

Update: The auto-discovery mechanism in wordpress seems not to fit the spec.

反攻大陸了啦啦啦~~~

前天 chinsan 在 386bsd 發布了一篇有關 PureFTPD 的 User Manager 的文章, 他說要徵求幫忙作一個小國旗, 然後直接寄給作者, 我看了一下他給的連結, 看起來似乎沒有很困難的樣子, 就到外交部去偷了一個國旗的圖案, 再稍作加工, 之後就直接寄給作者了.

五星旗被換掉了

不過昨天上課的時候, 忽然收到作者的回信, 他說他已經把小國旗換上去了, 而且重點是, 他說他一直不知道自己用錯了國旗… XD 結果, 在光復節前夕, 我們在網路上反攻大陸了… ^^a 作者直接把中共的五星旗換成中華民國的國旗… @_@

又換回來了

由於事態緊急, 套句 irc 上長輩的話, 大陸的鄉民是很恐怖的… 所以馬上回信給作者, 幸好現在去看已經換回來了, 不知道有沒有偷偷被對岸的發現了… :p
