22:20 Mac下的Office » Just 平生一笑

Office
虽有衰落,微软的Office还是深入人心

作为一个互联网业非全技术工作者,与Office打交道绝对是家常便饭,这时,一款好用的软件绝对能够起到事半功倍的效果。Windows下,选择有很多,Microsoft Office、WPS、OpenOffice......,配上众多的字体,缤纷灿烂的文档,不管中文英文就顺手而出了。Mac下则没这么幸运,搞得我一度把新买的MacBook封存起来,老老实实的用老X31。但这毕竟不是久全之计,X31一天天老去,新装备总不能不发挥作用,硬着头皮,磨合上一两天,也就适应了。总结起来,这里还是有一些经验与技巧可以写写的。

目前看来,Mac OS X下可用的Office套件主要iWorkMicrosoft Office for MacOpenOffice for Mac OS X,以及建立在OpenOffice基础上的NeoOffice。iWork功能还可以,能做出挺炫的效果,但兼容性也确实有些差,除非你经常用PDF格式交换文件或仅在Mac下使用;NeoOffice功能还可以,不过由于基于Java,故而运行速度较慢,打开一个较大的文档,就卡上半天,让人不爽;OpenOffice for Mac OS X现在有了原生的Mac版,还处于Beta阶段,我没有使用,据用过的人说,除了字体与Windows下文档有些不兼容外,其它好像没啥问题,还比NeoOffice快上许多,可能以后会成为主力;所以算来算去,目前还是在使用Microsoft Office for Mac,是最新版的Office 2008。

下载并安装网友制作的Windows Vista移植字体后,Office 2008 for Mac的可用性大幅提升,Mac与Windows下互换文档也没有那么吃力。唯一让人不舒服的,是在Mac OS下直接拷贝图片粘贴到Office文档进行图文混排,在Windows下打开文档时,会在插入图片的区域提示:"QuickTime™ and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture."经过搜索,发现这个问题从2004年开始就存在,并且直到现在还没有解决。FT,微软这帮人,也真够烂的。最要命的是这个问题还有愈演愈烈之势,之前在Office 2004的PowerPoint中,还可以通过redeye remover工具保持图片的兼容性,到了Office 2008,我是找不到哪里还有redeye remover,也许是我遗漏了吧!

没办法,只能用另外的办法来解决,那就是把Office文档另存为HTML格式,或者不用拷贝粘贴的方式,而是用插入文件的方式嵌入图片。这样也能凑合一下,达到文件交换的目的了。

Apple的东西就是这样让人又爱又恨。工业设计和系统设计都不错,唯独封闭在自己的小圈子里,但谁又能够说的清楚,这不会是苹果取得成功的内在动力呢?不过对我来说,再好再坏它都只是一个工具而已,用它把自己的生活变得更好才是终极的目的。

最后补充一下,OmniGraffle Professional可以替代Visio,Axure RP却很难找到替代品,还请有经验的同学推荐。

13:03 从《随意搜寻》(Ambient Findability)到《搜索模式》(Search pattern) » 大学小容>善用网络,助益成长!

今天看到Peter Morville发布在Slideshare.net上的幻灯片《搜索模式》Search pattern),这是他在信息架构2008年会上的演讲之一,他的另一个演讲是信息架构3.0

在二月份的时候,小容看到他在Flickr里发布了一大堆的截图,他说自己正在写一本叫做搜索模式的新书,叫朋友们评论他收集的资料。

同月,看到Read/Write WebBlog作者从新西兰惠灵顿Webstock会议现场发回来的报道《可搜寻性搜索的未来,来自信息架构专家Peter Morvillle的观点Peter Morville在现场演讲关于搜索模式可搜寻性方面的话题。

很快时间就到了四月份,这次他带来了53页的幻灯片,看来他的新书构思已经基本完成了。

SEO行业调查点石互动 » Che, Dong's shared items in Google Reader

SEOmoz二月份做过一次SEO行业调查,总共收到超过3000份来自不同国家不同领域的SEOer的回复。SEOmoz成员对这超过50M的调查数据做了总结。调查结果中那些SEO的收入水平等问题和我们国情差的太远,也就不罗列出来打击自己了。

在对学习SEO的途径的回答中,自学SEO占了大多数,其次是现场指导(on-site training)和一般的SEO培训课程。

最受欢迎的品牌性SEO工具分别为Google Webmaster Central Tools(90.74397%),SEOmoz ToolsYahoo! Site ExplorerSEOBook ToolsSEOChat Tools(28.71114%)。看来基本上所有SEO相关工作者都会使用Google站长工具,流行度比雅虎站长工具高出25%多。SEOmoz、SEObook、SEOchat的SEO工具也是相当受欢迎。

最受欢迎的关键词工具为Wordtracker(65.73719%),Keyword DiscoverySpyfuHitwiseCompete Search Analytics(15.30150%)。我想wordtracker、keyworddiscovery可能国内很多朋友都熟悉或者有使用,Spyfu是个比较不错的竞争对手监控程序,Hitwise和Compete提供的是相对而言更为行业化的统计数据。

在对常用的SEO策略的回答中,优化title标签、优化meta描述、优化大标题、页面上关键词布局和内部链接结构都超过80%的支持率,而优化meta keywords部分只有70%的人会在意。

另外50%左右的人推荐对非必要链接或导出链接使用nofollow,而11%的人依旧不清楚nofollow是否真的有效,尤其是那些在职 SEOer。另外对注册Google站长工具是否会有消极影响这个问题的回答中,近50%的人认为完全没有问题,依旧有40%的人是not sure,我想这个对于Google来说可能不是什么好消息吧。

在3079个回复里面,只有7%的人订阅了50-100个博客,而24%的人只订阅了2-4个。这很是让我郁闷,我只要一天懒惰下,Google Reader里未读文章就超过1000,我是属于4%的行列。

Visualizing Your Data at Google I/OGoogle Code Blog » Che, Dong's shared items in Google Reader
By Nir Bar-Lev, Product Manager

This post is one in a series that previews Google I/O, our biggest developer event in San Francisco, May 28-29. Over the next two months, we'll be highlighting sessions and speakers to give Google Code blog readers a better sense of what's in store for you at the event. - Ed.


We recently launched the Google Visualization API, which lets you access multiple sources of structured data that you can display with a large number of different visualizations. The API also provides a platform that can be used to create, share, and reuse visualizations.

For structured data, a big part in making information useful is enabling the visualization and analysis of the data in various ways and manners so we can gather insights from it. From the novice user to the highly trained professional, a chart often provides more insight, faster than any table of data does. Yet the process for matching data to a visualization is still laden with barriers. Integration with specific visualizations is very often an arduous process and finding the right provider of the visual package you need is hard.

The Google Visualization API aims to solve many of these problems. The API is simple to use, making integration quick and painless. Its openness makes it appealing because once a visual component is written it can be used on any supported data source. That means both the visual developer and the data source owner benefit.

By involving the wider developer community we can create a huge inventory of visual applications that fit every need. Just a few weeks after launch, developers have already created interesting visualizations like the piles of money gadget, organizational chart and motion chart.

At Google I/O, our senior engineers will teach you how to quickly and easily write an application using the Google Visualization API. We will work together to build a simple gadget and we will go over the the fine issues and potential pitfalls so you can save yourself even more time when you start writing your own applications over the API.

We also highly recommend you attend the "Advanced Gadget and UI Development Using Google AJAX APIs" session. With the combination of the two, you will have the toolset to making world-class visual applications and gadgets.

We look forward to seeing you at Google I/O in May. In the meantime, come visit us and join the budding, yet growing community using the API.
