[Linux] Ubuntu 7.10

最近裝了 Ubuntu 7.10, 感覺設計愈來愈好了,也愈來愈人性化囉。中文的顯示不僅是清楚了許多,不需要我特定再去做修定,而且剛剛設定印表機,馬上就搞定了,不像之前的設定步驟那麼複雜。 :)先前用 Kubuntu 6.06 LTS 版本,使用上當然也沒什麼大問題,只是最近更新的機制出了些問題,雖然還沒到不能用的程度,只覺得不能更新一些軟體有點給它遺憾。想直接升級,上網查又好像問題一堆,而且有網友建議先升級至 6.10再升至 7.04,當然要升級到 7.10 又要再來一步。只好先按兵不動。家裡還有一台PIII的舊電腦,反正目前擱著也沒用,乾脆先來嚐鮮,體驗一下 7.10 囉~

看看網友的使用分享文 Ubuntu 7.10 加 Windows Vista

最近還出了個懶人包,用來調校 Desktop 用:
Lazybuntu 懶人包
待會馬上來試一下!

如果自己需要編譯程式的話,需要安裝編譯程式套件:
放入 Ubuntu 7.10 CD, 至 Terminal 鍵入以下指令:
#sudo aptitude install build-essential

[Lyrics] Always There & 總在我身旁

星光幫近來出的一張合輯中的歌曲 "總在我身旁", 第一次聽的時候, 特別有感覺~
尤其是 "你讓我依靠 讓我堅強 你守護在我身旁", "有你的地方 就有陽光 你總會在我身旁" 這兩句
因為是基督徒的關係, 覺得歌詞中的 "你" 是 "祢" 也就是上帝, 我們的神.
Google 查了一下它的中文作詞者為張敬軒, 再進一步查到他也是基督徒. 還有他寫詞曲作音樂的動力是來自上帝~ 這是張敬軒的故事. 並也進一步發現英文版來自 Secret Garden 的 Always There. 真的是很棒的一首歌!! :)

歌詞及影片如下:


Always There

Artist: Secret Garden
Music by Rolf Lovland
Lyrics by Brendan Graham


Lyrics:

When I'm less than I should be
And I just can't face the day
When darkness falls around me
And I just can't find my way
When my eyes don't clearly see
And I stumble through it all
You I lean upon, you keep me strong
And you rise me when I fall

Chorus:
You are there when I most need you
You are there so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for me

When life brings me to my knees
When my back's against the wall
You are standing there right with me
Just to keep me standing tall
Though a burden I may be
You don't weary, you don't rest
You are reaching out to carry me
And I know I'm heaven-blessed

(Chorus 2x)

There when I most need you
There so constantly
You come shining through, you always do
You are always there for me




總在我身旁 (ALWAYS THERE Chinese Version)
演唱: 星光幫
曲:ROLF LOVLAND
詞:張敬軒

我總不相信自己 也無法面對現實
當生命失去了光 我就失去了方向
前路依然很模糊 要掙脫許多束縛
你讓我依靠 讓我堅強 你守護在我身旁

每當我需要依靠你 你一定會在這裡
有你的地方 就有陽光 你總會在我身旁

當我還不夠堅強 (還不夠堅強) 推翻命運的圍牆
你還是和我在一起 給我無限的勇氣
路依然走的困難 當我變成了負擔
你依然把我輕輕拉著 我就是最幸福的

每當我需要依靠你 你一定會在這裡
有你的地方 就有陽光 你總會在我身旁

每當我需要依靠你 你一定會在這裡 (會在這裡)
有你的地方 就有陽光 你總會在我身旁

我需要依靠你(要依靠你) 你就在這裡
有你的地方 就有陽光 你總會在我身旁

印度式計算...太神奇了

偶然的機會看到的一篇部落文 - 印度式計算訓練
我們從小所學習的是九九乘法表 (9x9)....不要以為這樣就很厲害喔...
聽說印度人從小背的乘法表至少是十九乘十九 (19x19 = 361)...還有甚至 (99x99=9801) (度學生怕數學...)

在這文當中還有許多網友提出他們各自遇到的算法及討論~感覺....傑克....這真是太神奇了~原來還可以這麼算呀~收穫不少唷~大家有空可以看看 印度式計算訓練

好在小學的數學老師教得好....讓我知道乘數及被乘數要如何放, 反正要求什麼單位的...把它放前面就對了

剛剛把所學的印度式計算法試來試算了幾道算式...嘿...神奇的咧~都對唷...

14 * 18 = (14+8) * 10 + 4 * 8 = 220 + 32 = 252
23 * 26 = (23 + 6) * 20 + 3 * 6 = 598

以上是十位數相同時的算法....

另外一個網友提出的算法也蠻快的

1m x 1n
= 10 x 10 + 10 x (m + n) + m x n

am x an
= a0 x a0 + a0 x (m + n) + m x n

am x bn
= a0 x b0 + a0 x n + b0 x m + m x n

例:
63 * 35 = 60 * 30 + 60 * 5 + 30 * 3 + 3 * 5 = 1800 + 300 + 90 + 15 = 2205

再用上面這個方法算之前印度法算題
14 * 18 = 10 * 10 + 10 * 8 + 10 * 4 + 4 * 8 = 100 + 80 + 40 + 32 = 252
23 * 26 = 20 * 20 + 20 * 6 + 20 * 3 + 3 * 6 = 400 + 120 + 60 + 18 = 598

咦...條條算法通答案...突然覺得數學怎麼那麼好玩呀~ :)

[English] etiquette

Let's have word of the week from now on~
今天學的單字是 etiquette (none) 禮節/禮儀
話說主管要求各部門的同事們要注意 office etiquette (辦公室禮節)
According to office etiquette, we should dress up in befitting (得體的) apparel (穿著).

Windows v.s. Mac Part II

Remember I made my laptop once looked like a mac box one or two years ago? Ha...this time, there is something new, and my windows box is more like mac.
Few days ago, Apple released Safari Beta version which can be installed in Windows OS. Besides, a pretty cool function that I could find on a mac, but now it's possible appearing on a windows. DaLa~ Now, introduce TopDesk to you! Expose is a wonderful function and I like it very much. It's useful to display all applications or same applications at the same "spaces" for switching. I'm glad that it can be integrated on windows box. Ha... See? Does it look like a mac?

[Lyrics] 卒業TIME

卒業TIME

作詞: WaT 作曲: WaT





あの日 僕達(ぼくら)
語り明かした
空が白く霞ゆくまで
みんな共に過ごした日々は
時間(とき)を越えて大切なもの
ラララ…

夕暮れ いつもの場所
独りたたずんで
住み慣れたこの街を
離れても想い出すよ
時間が流れて それぞれの道
夢や希望に 思いを乗せて
僕達が 夜明け間近
交わした約束
(I feel forever…)

※空に☆を 散りばめる様に
心 今も輝いている
いつか夢に手が届く頃
闇を抜けて君に幸あれ※
ラララ…

想い出 辿るように
歩く並木道
通い慣れたこの道は
どこまでも続いてゆくよ
月日(トキ)が流れて
みんな夢見た
ひとつひとつが 現実となる
許されるなら 肩を並べて
喜び合いたい
(I believe forever…)
僕は あの日 流した涙
今もずっと覚えているよ
失敗(カコ)を忘れ去った訳じゃなく
今は現実(イマ)を走ってるだけ
ラララ…

誰も見たことのない
/ 遠い夢のように
変わらない想いのままで
/ Wo Wow Wow Wow
たとえ離れたとしても
/ 同じ大空(ソラ)の下で
僕は / ボクは
…独りじゃないから

(※くり返し)

[Lyrics] 僕のキモチ

僕のキモチ

作詞: WaT 作曲: WaT

君に贈るよ
僕からの このキモチ
ありのまま 伝えたい
白く光る季節を添えて

移り変わる季節は
北寄りの風に流されて
気が付けば今年の終わりに
残されたイベントが一つ
いつもより少しだけ
はしゃいでいる君を横目で
気後れ気味の僕はなんとなく
一歩引いて見てた
ひらひらと雪が舞う頃には
そんな君がなぜか愛しくて
僕は君に感謝してるのさ
うまく言えないけど

※そして僕の願いは
君が笑う そのことが
何よりもただうれしくて
君に贈るよ
僕からの このキモチ
ありのまま 伝えたい
白く光る季節を添えて※

飾られた街並みに
いつしか気持ち踊らされて
特別が苦手な僕でも
演出を試みたりして
日常に追われてる
僕も今日は君のためだけ
ささやかな何かを贈ろうと
思いめぐらせた
ひらひらと雪が舞う頃には
二人で歩く夜 並木道
いつの間に灯るイルミネーション
光に染まる街
そんな二人の季節
君が笑う それだけを
僕はただ見ていたくて
今日だけじゃなく
毎日が 君だけに
特別で いつまでも
このキモチは季節を越えて

「僕が君を守る」とか
簡単には言えないけど
僕は君と向き合うより
同じ未来二人向いていたい

(※くり返し)

Lalala…

[Lyrics] How Great is Our God

How Great is Our God
Chris Tomlin

VERSE(1):
The splendor of the King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice

CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
Sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, How great
Is our God

VERSE(2):
Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb

CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
Sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, How great
Is our God

CHORUS(2)
Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing how great
Is our God
(x2)

CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
Sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see
How great, How great
Is our God
(x2)

Donuts...

Today I saw the news reported that Donkin' Donuts open the first store in Taiwan. I remembered that after every sunday service, our college sunday school folks could get "grace brand" (恩典牌) donuts or bagels from Donkin' Donuts for breakfast. Thanks to Pastor Tang! =D
Actually...I missed Bagel more than donuts, especially the so called "everything bagel" from Bruegger's . Mmm....Yummy.... (Yeah...Willtor, please don't complaint about the everything bagel la~ It contains "EVERYTHING"....ha)
About donuts and bagels, there are some more stores. When I was in US, I like to drink Mocha coffee and blueberry bagel w/ strawberry cream cheese in Tim Hortons . Sometimes, I went to Krispy Kreme to get "Hot Now" free donuts. It was a good memory. =)
Few years ago, there were donuts stores called Mister Donuts . It has been popular for a while, and still some people like to buy their products even they have to wait in line. I just tasted its donuts once. However, I like the mouthfeel of its donuts, not too hard and not too soft, a little bit chewy and not too sweet. It's really hard to say which one is the best. Each store has its own distinguishing feature.
