老是只懂抄 之 China Facebook (Updated)

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

阿峰提及了我國的facebook clone (複製品), 相信是這個

對不起, 我搞錯了, 這個和Facebook Inc. 是沒舍關係的。

一看首頁, well…果然一如所料。看過了祖國無數般多的產品後, 抄考應該是我國的一種美德。

為了一睹真相, 我登記了個帳戶。及後發覺這只是 facebook 初期的複製品, 因為它並沒有 Apps 的概念。設計風格…自己看看吧:

其他的功能如 friends, groups, photo tagging 等都如實地抄進去。祖國互聯網社區發展簡直是超英趕美, 絕對屈機。

更新: 抄考Facebook 原來已成風氣。除了校內網, 還有憶聚網。在此恭喜Facebook又多一個弟弟了。

P.S. 我用中文寫, 怕的是人家看不懂。

Designing Details Drive me Crazy

Some designing details really drive me crazy. I appreciate such efforts, which are overlooked by others most of the time.

Mother’s Day - Mac mini

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Mum told me she would like to have a simple machine (together with my old ACD) in her room, so that she can browse the internet for news and so on. I immediately thought of Mac mini. After looking for the 2nd-handed one (and indeed I have bought one, sadly need to return it over), at last I decided to buy her a new one.



It’s tiny and cute. All family members love it so much.

Start the power -> join WIFI. Internet is up in 2 minutes (should have been faster if I remember the mac address filtering security).

As my MBP’s iTune library is kept shared, the new mac member is already “ready” to play songs/movies once it started. Videos streamed over the intranet smoothly. Everything just works seamlessly. No extra configuration required even for Front Row in sharing music/video library. This is the greatest experience ever in my PC life. My Dad feels great about that too.

Luckily able to buy it in 12-month installment, otherwise I should have been bankrupted.

Happy Mother’s Day.

New family member: ACD 30″

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Finally I get my first 30″-large THING in my life.

It’s 2nd-hand. Condition is perfect as observed so far. And It’s HUGE! I couldn’t stop wowing when the seller showed me the thing. My MBP has done a great job to support the ultra-high resolution and the performance is more than acceptable.

So Long, Longsome. By Explosions in the Sky. Great song.

Shared by my dearest friend. I like the presentation. Great crossing between music and video.

Thanks man. Wish you to be good enough soon.
