Fortune-zh on Mac OS X

不清楚有多少用过Debian的人,玩过这个小游戏。它显示的是唐宋诗词,相当好玩。但在OS X上就没的玩了。我今天看了一下Debian中的源码,发现其实想要实现狠简单。

首先当有人冒犯了你,拍下他,告诉警察。图中这位在纽约地铁里玩着暴露狂游戏时就被拍下了,然后图片不仅仅被打印交给警察,还被传上了Flickr,这下可就路人皆知了。(可见BoingBoing的报道)。

另一方面,太容易用这个做点坏事了,Engadget这个月早先警告了我们

还有还有,当你裸奔时,小心周围那些电话狂人。有人在寝室就演出了这一幕。

Random Fortune signature in Mail.app of Mac OS X

First of all, I followed this script at the beginning. It works great. The script is below.

tell application "Mail"
  activate
  make new outgoing message with properties ¬
   {content:do shell script "/path/to/fortune", visible:true}
end tell

Then I wanted to add the break line, however, I knew nothing about AppleScript. But by read other threads on macosxhints, I guessed how to made that. And things work. Below is mine with just a little modification so that you can easily figure out how to add some other things by yourself.

tell application "Mail"
    activate
    make new outgoing message with properties ¬
        {content:"====
        " & (do shell script "/usr/local/bin/fortune -s"), visible:true}
end tell

It’s a simple one. some guys wrote Perl scripts for this and did Cron jobs, but this suits my need. it just works.

Google Talk available

好了,好了,可以用了。

首先,这基于Jabber

其次,你要有GMail帐号

剩下的设置:

Server: talk.google.com
Username: youremail@gmail.com
Password: yourpassword

UPDATE: Google Talk offically available. Only Windows client as usual.

Google 可能明天发布新的IM服务

谣言正在传播。/.(你知道这是什么)上有人说明天我们就可能用这个新版本了。新版本?对,如果算上Hello的话。如果你对Picasa较熟悉的话,那与这个软件相伴的Hello IM软件你可能不会陌生。有人说这个新版本可能是基于Jabber的。拭目以待。

Just followed other’s idea trying to boost my Adsense income, which is still a shabby $10 after a year. I also installed another plugin to cron backup the blog’s database using my GMail account.
