開源·人性·見聞錄 — 希望大家能提供一點材料！
Posted on 2007-04-20 • (2)
近日因為開源界頻頻見到和人性及生活有關的問題，例如考慮個人的將來、不同意見的人相左、各類性格的人所管理的開源軟件的不同特性，這些都令我有感而發。日前談好了向 (Continue reading…)
發佈軟件實在不容易
Posted on 2007-04-14 • (17)
終於再次「的起心肝」為自己的 WordPress plugin 寫多點文件，好歹是第一件打算長期開發的東西。要長期地維護一件軟件真是很花精神和時間，不是說笑的：
記住 browser tab 的壞處
Posted on 2007-04-12 • (2)
昨天因為家裏的寬頻突然壞了，於是跑到城市大學嘗試偷雞，借用那兒的無線網絡上網。不過沒做好功課，終於領悟到 Firefox tab browsing 的一個弊病。當初 Firefox 2 初出時，以為它能夠在關閉前記住開了哪個 tab，待下次再開時可以回到上次的頁面，是一個多麼照顧用家的功能。但用久了[......]
GNOME 2.18 中文翻譯

GNOME 2.18 較早時間正式上傳了所有 tarball，即是說出新版了。感謝 Woodman 和 Pesder，近幾期的 GNOME 繁體中文翻譯都是以他們作為主力（當然還有其他人協助），還有簡體方面 Funda 更辛苦，要以一人之力挑起重擔，想當年我到某個時候就捱不住了。
現在 GNOME [......]

我不參與 Ubuntu 開發成為 helper 的決定，到現在可以確切肯定我是對的。自從 scim 1.4.5 在上年 10 月初推出以來，因為太瞭解 Debian 和 Ubuntu 的習性（甚麼都要等十來廿年），所以不去等待，自己包最新的 scim 套件給自己用，到現在快[......]
Time to give KDE a try
Posted on 2007-03-01 • (4)
When last time somebody told me QT4 has support for vertical text and is using UCS4 internally, some impulse happens in my mind, though no action yet — probably it’s time to reconsider KDE again. During old days, one reason to abandon KDE is it’s inferior in terms of L10N and I18N — doesn’t support Hong Kong characters (QT3 using UCS2 only), translation is plain crap, etc. But things do change from time to time.
Right now what I can see from GNOME is just a small bunch of people keep fixing bug and adding more and more apps into core (the difference between 2.16 and 2.18 is basically a few development related applications), but no REAL INNOVATION. Well, they are superior in one way — taking others’ technology, copy it, and broadcast to the world that it’s their own greatest innovation since the wheel. The spatial mode of Nautilus is a well-known great example.

Never rip MP3 with variable bitrate enabled encoder, since various players don’t have good support for that. Several Linux music players (like R[......]
