I recommended this book store to a friend visiting Shanghai. I'd like to share again. The best book store for me in Shanghai is the Jifeng Book Store. Here is the location: 5th Floor, Raffles City, 268, Xizang Middle Road, Shanghai There is another one at the Shaan Xi Road Metro Station: They are good because they spent good effort on book selection. So the books in the store are nice for me. However, there is not many English books...
Source favicon15:29 debian上使用rc.local » 车东[Blog^2]

习惯了FreeBSD和RedHat上使用/etc/rc.local 定制服务的自动启动,最近用Debian还真有些不习惯。以下是我搜集到的资料:在debian上创建rc.local文件。

创建文件:
sudo touch /etc/init.d/rc.local
设置可执行:
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/rc.local
用update-rc.d设置启动级别:
sudo update-rc.d rc.local start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 .

为了编辑方便,创建一个链接:
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/rc.local /etc/rc.local

cat /etc/rc.local
# start apache
/home/apache/bin/apachectl start

重启一下,没有问题。

Source favicon15:08 两会第一天 » 闾丘露薇 ROSE GARDEN
每年三月初,北京的长安街红旗飘飘,真得很佩服会议组织者选择的这个时间,因为做了这些年的两会报道,除了有一年的某一天的凌晨飘了一些小雪,总是那样的风和日丽,大会堂在阳光下,蓝蓝的天衬托着飘扬的红旗,不得不惊叹它的宏伟。这使得门口那段长长的台阶,对于我们这些总是拿着几十公斤的器材的记者来说,也变得有点诗意起来。
 
今天政协的开幕式,和去年有点点不一样,那就是主席台上的九个常委,少了一个黄菊,昨天的政协记者会上,发言人证实,因为健康原因接受治疗,现在正在康复之中,其实这个传言在香港以及海外已经传了很久,不过领导人的健康情况在中国一直是国家机密,还好这次政府采取开放的态度来回答这个问题,不然的话,今天所有的境外媒体,头条一定是那少了一个人大做文章。这个世界就是这样,信息越多,稀奇古怪的猜测就会减少,因为会因此而增多,谣言也就减少了。
 
现在采访两会,对于我来说,越来越难做,因为以往作为香港媒体,我们的特长是,堵人,尤其是善于堵领导人。怎样堵,就是在像迷宫一样的大会堂里面窜来窜去,经常会一不小心,就撞倒平时只能够在主席台上,或者在电视上看到的领导人。不过去年开始,这样的机会就没有了,因为大会堂的保安越来越严密,其实这也是好事情,证明我们的有关人员越来越专业。
 
堵不到领导人,就去堵部长,还好,到目前为止,还能够在部长的进出口等他们,不过今年的部长们和过去几年也不一样,以前几个话筒一围,总是能够问出几个问题,但是今年,除了外交部长和卫生部长讲了两句,其他的人,已经学会对于记者视而不见,有的更是推开记者的话筒,用我的同行的话来说,很有风格。
 
堵部长收获不是那样的大,就去堵代表,不过现在堵代表变成了体力劳动,因为以往只是香港记者这样做,现在所有的媒体都这样。东门前的广场的情形是,当代表进出会场的时候,总是一堆堆的人球,大部分的记者,也不知道自己堵的是谁,总之看到别人伸出话筒,自己马上不甘落后。很多时候,拍了回来,都不知道对方是谁。更多的情况时,拍了老半天,辛辛苦苦,只是一堆人头。为了避免这样的情况,我让我的同事采取新的方法,那就是约好代表,找个角落,轻轻松松慢慢问,当然这就要求记者必须做到最基本的一件事情,知道自己要问什麽,清楚自己应该找谁。
 
今年的两会,发现会场的保安比以往要严。过去,记者的车辆只要有车证,就可以停在专门的停车场,但是现在所有的车辆都要经过安全检查,才能够进入。为什麽这样,回答是,因应国内外严峻的形势。看来,很多我们看不到的事情,正在发生。
 
政协开幕,算是两会拉开序幕,不过要找新闻切入点,真的有点难,好不容易从报告里面找到关于台湾问题的一段话,之所以挑这个点,因为看看这些天的形势,两会的时候,台湾问题肯定是重点,所以今天的华闻大直播选择谈台湾,重点问题是请教北京的学者,大陆是不是在展开全方位的国际文宣战,这是不是显示大陆意识到,过于依靠美国是不够的。
 
台湾问题,要讲得太多,不过明天可能有重要消息,记得去年的两会,忽然被通知去拍一个小组讨论会,据说有领导人出席,有话要讲,结果有了胡四点,今天被通知,明天早上也有东西要拍,难道有。。。。点?

Delegates from Henan arrive in Beijing - image from Xinhua

The 'Two Meetings' are gatherings of the representatives from all over the country of the People's Congress the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) that take place in Beijing annually in March.

State-owned news agency Xinhua's Chinese home page has commemorated the start of the 'Two Meetings' yesterday with a massive headline reading:




If I was a People's Congress representative or a member of the CPPCC, I would propose...

The headline links to a forum where readers are asked for their proposals and suggestions. Below is a roughly translated random selection of comments from the forum:

- Greatly increase taxes on the urban entertainment industry



- Ensure that citizens can exercize their political rights



- Fight corruption (many comments, some very long, discuss this issue)



- Urgently and immediately discuss and work out a fair and just Chinese retirement law!



- I also want to ask the premier: Do you think education reform has succeeded?



- Tax reform (long, detailed posts about this)



- The problem of laid off workers from state-owned enterprises needs to be addressed



- A list:
1. Implement standard international food safety regulations 

2. Take measure to stop government monoploies (especially in medical treatment, electricity supply, railways, telecommunications, water supply, land, and fuel)

3. Greatly increase railway construction

4. Stop charging tolls on national and provincial highways, increase fuel taxes

5. Change the 5 level adminsstrative structure into a 3 level structure

6. Stop issuing of new A shares ... complete reform of listed companies

7. Change the status of peasants so that they become real citizens

8. The emperor controls the waters, success is in dredging, failure is in damming: give the people supervisory powers (a reference to to the Three Gorges dam?)



- Was there any result from the proposals submitted last year?



- Take away the cars given to government cadres



- Strengthen research into laws about rape and gang rape



- Land ownership issues must be cleared up

- Stop cadres causing traffic jams by taking over lanes and redirecting traffic

Source favicon08:19 自己动手, 丰衣足食(之一) » Google 黑板报 -- Google 中国的博客网志




Google 是一个非常“偏袒”工程师文化的公司。当然工程师文化的定义十分广泛,这里只想描述其中的一个方面。



大家都听说过 Gmail, Orkut 等产品都来自员工 20% 的个人时间。最初是某个工程师想写一个自己喜欢、好用的产品,结果成了可以推广给大众使用的服务。诸如此类 “自己动手,丰衣足食”的例子也常常在 Google 员工的实际生活中出现,也许不会变成产品,但是却可以解决大家的日常生活难题。




T 恤风潮



上班第一天,同事把我从新员工培训班领回来,经过二楼的两个大铁柜时说,这个地方你今后会常来的。因为每周有三次会有人来把这两个柜子填满带有 Google 徽标的 T 恤,你可以拿回去送人,免费。为了不让大家养成习惯守株待兔,他们总在变更装 T 恤的时间。



免费 T 恤!



开始几天我没事儿就往二楼跑一圈,居然被我撞到了一次,很幸福的抓了两件 T 恤回来。



后来注意到有人在柜子对面的屋顶装了摄像头,于是我就在公司的内网里满世界搜索这个摄像头的服务器地址。后来发现和我想法不谋而合的人太多了,这个服务器总是超载。再后来听说我们部门的一个同事写了个 “T 恤警报器” 的邮件地址组。凡是订阅这个邮件的人,一来"T 恤"就会在第一时间收到邮件。



传说中写这个程序的是 Eric, 我跑去问他是如何写的?他说就是一个脚本,分析那个视频的图像。一般时候那个衣柜的门是关着的,所以画面就是那个衣柜和地毯的颜色。但是人家往里装 T 恤时, 衣柜门会开很久,衣柜门的颜色是米色,地毯颜色是深紫。所以只要分析画面中这几个 pixel 的数据,再加上时间变量,当这个画面的值保持米色值的时间超过一定时间,就发邮件说明新 T 恤到了。



于是同事们就和 Eric 开玩笑,每次走过这个柜子时都把门打开,想让 Eric 的警报器报 “狼来了” 的信息。但是Eric 说,一般情况下,下一个走过的人往往会把门关上,所以衣柜门保持在“误开”状况的时间很短,虚报情报的概率很小。



据说在这个“T 恤警报器”刚刚“投入使用”的时候,基本上只有订阅了这个邮件的人才拿得到 T 恤。其他人听到风声赶到的时候已经“恤去柜空”。再后来,就是订阅邮件的人也拿不到 T 恤了。因为员工越来越多,供远远小于求。公司内部讨论版上三天两头就有人出新点子来解决这个问题。因为很多新员工从来没有在这个衣柜里看到过 T 恤,估计很多数学家工程师们又在为此创新了,拭目以待……





T 恤箱旁的告示:"Don't Be Evil"

-请只拿取自己需要的数量,一到两件就好

-请为他人着想

-请不要把 Google 当做个人衣物提供商

-脏了的衣服可以到楼下洗衣房去清洗烘干(免费)
