482 After some research into the system now I know how I can change some of the icons in Mac OS X. However I already bought Candybar. What a waste, and it cannot even change icons for .mov, .mp3 and so on. Now let’s look at Ricebowl in Mac OS X. It looks quite good… Continue reading Using Ricebowl on Mac OS X feels good.

IMDB users vote sounds worthless.
IMDB users have voted for the best motion pictures of 2005, also directors, actress and actors etc. However I find it quite worthless. Best actor second: Harry Porter? WTF?! Naomi Watts for best actress?! If you read my previous review about King Kong, you will know I think she did a bad job in that… Continue reading IMDB users vote sounds worthless.
H.264 at lower bitrate compared with Flash video
This flash video using On2 technology are said to be amazing. 600kps is relatively low, so it can start very soon. But they said it is HDTV in your broswer, which I do not believe. So I convert the same video from Apple’s HD galllery to 730kps. And the quality is better than this flash.… Continue reading H.264 at lower bitrate compared with Flash video
Recommended DVD-R(W) media
41 Here is a PDF file of the webpage that compares many brands of DVD-R(W) media quality. I am using Fuji and Radata. They are good. I personally suggest you never burn your data on some bad media especially when these data are important. They might be corrupted any time.
嵌入Gallery 2测试

Rumors about Apple’s completely new product line Plasma HDTV
It is rumored that Apple is going to release a totally new product line they’ve never made before: 42 and 50 inches Plasma HDTV, which will cost only $25.99 and $32.99 dollars. Well I doubt the price. But it is possible you have to subscribe to the video service for quite a large amount of… Continue reading Rumors about Apple’s completely new product line Plasma HDTV
Every time I handle EtBr I feel headache
I think I am having some kind of psycological problems with EtBr. Every time I handle them, like the gel, I kind of worry too much, or I am just being really careful. And this might have some intense effects on my nerves. Usually after the work I feel headache. Kind of like when I… Continue reading Every time I handle EtBr I feel headache

Ricebowl development slows due to heavy work duty. But now we have three new icons. I will keep on developing it. More icons will be added as CVS mode. No new version will be announced on KDE-look.org. Please download at deviantART.
尝试使用Flock浏览器
Flock浏览器是一个……基于Firefox内核但是添加了不少有趣特性的浏览器。里面又这样一个Blog Post工具，可以用来发布Blog。在浏览器里面写Blog然后自动发布。很有趣吧？不过貌似添加图片的能力很弱也。添加一个链接到Yahoo。
Want to curse anyone or anything? Use the word “communism”
Americans and maybe some other people from maybe European countries love to use “communism” to name anything related to…something they consider bad. By bad, I mean maybe something about censorship, restriction of some sort of freedom or anything else. Suddenly I feel that I can call America communism country and Bush the leader of communists.… Continue reading Want to curse anyone or anything? Use the word “communism”
Will no longer buy music on iTunes now
I will no longer buy music on iTunes unless I have no other choice, and until iTunes offer multiple choices of bitrate. 128kps AAC is definitely probably even better than 192kps MP3 (maybe just better than 160kps LAME encoded MP3). However 128kps is not good enough for classical music. And actually Allofmp3.com is the best… Continue reading Will no longer buy music on iTunes now
Aeon Flux，无法评价的差
没有看过这个电影。但是看过预告片。很多烂片，通过预告片都可以把自己的烂隐藏的很好。但是Aeon Flux是一部连预告片都很烂的片子。我当时看到预告片就立即预言这部片子肯定会失败。果然。在Yahoo Movies上面评价是C-的C+，在Rotten Tomatoes上是13％。烂得惨不忍睹！其实哪个女的的造型我看到都够了。
英国终于有一次走在美国前面。
英国最近通过的法律基本上是使同性婚姻合法了。虽然不是“婚姻”。据英国政府数据，英国有大约6％的人是同性恋，这是相当大的一个比例。一个正常的政府都是应该为如此大比例的人群谋福利的。美国的比例并不见得会比英国低，但是布什政府却是相当宗教化，绝对反对同性婚姻的保守政权。 为了表示中国政府对于人权的保护 ，中国也应该尽快立法，即时不是让同性“婚姻”合法化，也要建立一个伴侣保护的法律。这其实是难得的让中国人权保护走在美国之前的好机会。

Together by 陈凯歌，B+
Together (2003) Directed by Chen Kaige Actually I was considering A-. Anyway I could have seen this movie a long time ago when I was in college. However it is until today I finally watched it. Story line is OK, although not great. Chen’s wife functions a little bit weird in this movie, kinda feels… Continue reading Together by 陈凯歌，B+
Ricebowl Hits 10,000 downloads!
According to deviantART counter, Ricebowl has hit 10,000 downloads. Thank you all for loving this second icon set I am trying to develop. I feel guilty these days no development is going on. But 0.2.0 is just so close. Should be within another 2 weeks or so.
V-Max WordPress theme now developing
Vitamin-max.com is now developing a theme called V-Max based on WordPress 1.5 default theme. Some basic changes to the default theme have been added. The same as Ricebowl icon, this theme would try to be clean and simple. Complicated effects would probably not be added in the future.
保护视力就买了19寸宽屏液晶
笔记本12寸有点小常常不小心就把脸贴到屏幕上去了。视力还是很重要的。反正没有出去旅游就买了一个ViewSonic的19寸宽屏液晶。最气人的是分辨率还不如15寸的新Powerbook。1440×900是不错。但是常常觉得1440还是不够宽。哈哈哈。过几年看来大家虚拟的环绕屏幕了(大胆科幻预言)。 找个图片就发现我买亏了。前段时间Amazon上还349现在就清仓处理309了。还好不是免Shipping不然我就了十多刀。 现在我就可以距离液晶相当的距离了，至少比看书是要远不少了。而且以后在家里工作的时候也视野也宽阔了。暂时是不需要台式机了，同时还是拥有笔记本的轻便。于是又有一个问题，笔记本使用太多会不会很快挂掉？颇为担心就想买3年苹果质保。
给同学们的圣诞礼物他们收到了
EMS寄回花掉我四十多美刀。不过还好收到了。不好意思打电话回去问他们的感想怕他们觉得都是廉价礼物。可是心到了不就对了？ 给Donkey的DVD昨天我才邮寄出去，颇为内疚。不过他的礼物也算是单件价值最高的了。而且我还单独给他邮寄邮资又是好多刀。刀刀流血！～～～ 恩……给老爸老妈的礼物还没有到。可能再过几天吧。 寄给老师的明信片他们似乎有的都收到了。不错不错。想当初进大学第一个新年也是给老师邮寄了卡片的，之后就再也没有干过这种好事。明年我也不知道自己是邮寄还是不邮寄了。反正还早。 我发现我今天高产。哪有这样写Blog的？或许是假期太无聊了吧。
2005年Vitamin-max.com最佳Mac应用程序奖
现在评选出2005年Vitamin-max.com最佳Mac应用程序大奖。 即时通讯: Adium，iChat，Skype。Adium是基于Gaim的多协议IM程序，功能强大界面美观，开放源代码；iChat因为其卓越的视频功能获奖；Skype凭借其VOIP清晰质量，跨平台支持，廉价的PC-to-phone资费获奖。 Cyberduck。FTP客户端，免费，强大，开源。 Handbrake。将DVD转换成MPEG4或者H.264格式最佳程序。虽然苹果自己的MPEG-4压缩率并不一定比DivX或者Xvid之类的高，但是这个程序简单易用，支持DVD2iPod，综合衡量是本年度最佳rip DVD的程序。PS：开源。 Cabos。基于LimeWire的Gnutella协议P2P客户端。免费而开源，并且在诸多方面超越LimeWire成为目前评价最高的Mac下的Gnutella客户端。 VLC和Mplayer for Mac OS X。补充QuickTime和DVD Player的最佳播放器。 Camino 1.0b+和Shiira 1.2浏览器。Camino使用大部分Firefox核心代码，但是更为Mac OS X化。最新测试版和CVS版本给人相当深刻的影响。Shiira 1.2在12月20号终于放出。由于Safari本身是一个很好的浏览器，Shiira使用了Safari所使用的渲染引擎，1.2增强的比较impressive的RSS支持，在最后一刻入选。 Thunderbird 1.5RC2半入选。Thunderbird 1.5RC2是不错的邮件程序。但是缓慢的速度，系统资源消耗比较大，不如Apple Mail的简洁，RSS支持比较Buggy，只能获得半入选。希望正式版本可以获的改进。 Opera 9 TP半入选。Opera总体设计相当出色，只是Mac OS X版本效率太低并且不够Cocoa。因此只能是半入选。 Sing That iTunes! Dashboard Widget。 QuickSilver。类似于Launchbar和Butler。不过它拥有最漂亮的界面，用户评价和Launchbar也差不多。而且Launchbar不是免费的，QuickSilver目前是免费的。因此QuickSilver代表此类软件获奖。 Front Row。 有趣而且开创苹果的Media Center时代。 OnyX。免费的系统优化、清理和Tweak软件。 Fink+Darwinports+Apple X11。让你可以运行很多Linux下的应用程序。 此奖本质上是个人用户推荐的最佳程序。纯属个人观点。
