[Ubuntu 7.04] 原来的 hda 变成 sda 了

装完 7.04 后发现原来的 /dev/hda 变成 /dev/sda 了, 不晓得怎么回事儿

Upstart in Ubuntu 7.04

昨晚装了 ubuntu-7.04, 像以前一样, 打算找到 /etc/inittab 加入串口登录支持, 竟然没有找到! 到 google 上 search 一下, 原来改用 upstart 了, 不知道其他的 distro 是否也会全面采用 upstart 呢?

Favorite Cygwin mirrors

以前用 ftp.linux.ee, 速度还可以, 近日连不上, 改用 http://mirrors.kernel.org, 竟比前者还快, 以后就用它了

KDE switches to CMake

The KDE4 build system is now centered around CMake. If you are a developer, CMake will be much easier to learn, handle and maintain than what you are used to so far. Alexander Neundorf, who took upon himself a big share of the actual work required for the switch, has published Why the KDE project switched to CMake -- and how on the LWN.net development pages. He outlines the considerations that led to choosing CMake over competing tools, shows why CMake is a better fit than the autotools used in KDE 1, 2 & 3, provides a short introduction into CMake file syntax. He even allows some insights into the current KDE4 development state. Hot on the heels of KDE, Scribus is switching as well.

How is Google Desktop different from Spotlight?

Google Desktop is designed to be a companion to Spotlight, and because the programs share some software components, Spotlight must be enabled to use Google Desktop.


What's Similar:
  • Both Google Desktop and Spotlight search your hard disk for information. You can continue to use Spotlight even after you've installed Google Desktop.
  • Google Desktop honors Spotlight's "Privacy" settings to prevent certain items from being indexed.

What's Different:
  • Google Desktop lets you search the text of webpages you've visited.
  • You can search text from old versions of your documents, or even from deleted files.
  • You can search your Gmail files even when you're not online.
  • In your browser, search results from your computer are integrated with search results from Google.com.

Google Desktop for Mac

刚在某人的 page 上看到 Google 发布 Mac 版的 Google Desktop 了, 估计应该比 Spotlight 要好用多了, 晚上回家试试

Google 输入法更新了

版本1.0.18.0

  • 提高首次启动性能
  • 支持迷你模式状态栏
  • 支持二三候选字快捷键功能 (这个俺喜欢, 暂时放弃 pyjj 几天, 以便试用一下 Google)

iGoogle

今天发现 Google 的个性化主页改名成 iGoogle 了,有意思,看来这个 i-sth 还真是流行。i 用的最多的应该还是 Apple 吧:iBook、iPod、iTunes、iPhoto、iMovie、iCal、iChat、iMac、iSync、iSight、iPhone;第三方软件比如 iPartition、iView MediaPro;就连 iBook 的键盘保护膜也叫 iSkin。今天 Google 也来凑热闹,好玩儿 :)
