a test blog from emacs with gdate

post blog via emacs

As you see, this is the first blog post via emacs by Yang. After spent 4 hours
or even long time on learning emacs, I totally fall in love with this most
powerful editor.

set up emacs for python

After read Ryan's emacs-as-a-powerful-python-ide I finally set up emacs for python. Here is the tips, or problems I encountered

1. jde

error:
File error: Cannot open load file, jde

fix:
edit ~/.emacs.d/dot-emacs, comment out the line

;;(load-library "ryan-java"

2. End of file during parsing

error:
End of file during parsing: /home/yang/.emacs

fix:
edit ~/.emacs.d/dot-emacs, add a line like this

'(w3m-default-display-inline-images t)
;;add a line here
)
;;add a line here
(custom-set-faces

3. Pymacs got an invalid initial repl

error:
Pymacs got an invalid initial repl

fix:
uninstall pymacs provided with ubuntu 8.04, install the latest version

sudo apt-get purge pymacs
tar -xgf Pymacs.tar.gz
cd Pymacs-0.23/
sudo python setup.py install

hope this will be helpful.

3 ways to get skype status

beside the Skype button, there are 3 ways you can get your Skype status:

1. http://mystatus.skype.com/echo123.num

2. http://mystatus.skype.com/echo123.txt

3. http://mystatus.skype.com/echo123.xml


they will show the skype status in 3 methods: number, text, and xml.

Replace 'echo123' with your own skypename to see your skype status.

Do remember to tick the "Allow my status to be shown on the web” checkbox and “Save”.

what shall I do? mind mapping tool under linux

That's what I was thinking about when I woke up in the morning. I left the bed and walked to the sofa, siting there keep on thinking about the question WHAT SHALL I DO?

Then, I thought of a mind mapping software called Freemind on my Acer Note Book. Yes, it must be helpful with finding the answer!

I remembered of the bad route table after start my Ubuntu, so I run the command 'ip link set eth0 down' to mend it and 'ip r' to make sure that it worked.

yang@acer:~$ freemind

okay, it started. But I can't inert a second node after the first one 'What shall I do?'

It took me about 10 minutes to find out the reason: the Java program just stopped responding to my keyboard.

^C, freemind

Restart the program to try my luck, yet failed again.

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

update the packages on my system to see if there is a solution. none.

search on the Internet for an alternate, failed.

Decided to write a blog to record the bad experience, and thought of the blog posting client. Tried all 3 installed on my system, and count the start time to choose the quickest, of which I can't find the name.

7:10, 1 hour had past. Quit a long time, huh? Not really, compared with the routine time I spend on PC and Internet, this time is short enough for I didn't go on searching about how to write a freemind-like software.

At last, there is still the question: WHAT SHALL I DO?

why GRE?

Why should I take GRE? Just because I want to approve that I can! It sounded funny but this is the only reason I can think out at present. Having been sick of the innumerable information about Ph.d and MBA, yet still have no decision on which school or major to choose, it's the time to do something actual.

it's not that important whether I would be admitted or not by a school(or college or university or whatever it is called). Just do something, just take GRE!

by the way, the Computer-BasedAnalytical Writing Test in 2008 is from July 1 to September 20. So it is just started.

网

据同宿舍的小Q同学汇报，今天下午有一很NB的人（貌似老师）带着两台小本来到我们宿舍，对我的路由器进行了探察。切，偶是绝对的良民，在遵守国家法律学校章程的原则上充分地利用了net.henu.edu.cn赋予俺的网路资源……
不过，比别人多用了一个IP地址，再就是网通的8M流量的带宽，还有计划中的FTP服务器～～～
估计是网络中心最近又现开通了哪栋楼的教育网，于是就要用到先前闲置着的IP地址，sigh，还只是一个私网的IP而已，就冲到偶宿舍里来了。无奈，俺本人不在，台式机（BSD）的显示器也撤了，两个路由上面又都设置了很弱智很变态的密码……
NB是除偶之外第一个以IP方式登录交换机的人，并且，刷新了固件，那么，为什么不简单地重启一下交换机呢？
