3Three weeks ago, my iBook G4 was stolen in the lab while I was away for a seminar. Life sucks. Just a few photos for the memory of my first mac.

在启动 iTunes 时按下 “alt/option” 键可以创建或开启多个 library，就如 iPhoto Buddy 一样。

Someone happily sent his battery to Apple China for a new one.  However things ended up that he received another defective one whose serial number also is among the serial numbers listed on Apple’s Battery Exchange Program page.  Now, he just filled the form again and hoping to receive a good one.

Read the poor guy’s story in Chinese.

Mew is a MIME mail reader of Emacs. It can handle multi mailboxes and collabrates with other programs well. This is my configuration of mew.

NOTE:

1. I used Stunnel for SSL connection. You must modify the file location of Stunnel. If you use Mac OS X, you can install it using DarwinPorts as I do.
2. If you want to use BBDB with Mew, take a look at Chris Beggy’s setup (it’s old, but it works).
3. My resources for the setup are here (Chinese), here, and here.

UPDATE #1: a great Mew configuration file to take a look

UPDATE #2: I created a .mew.el files list.

Finally after digging around for a while I found the correct way to make this. The web search list of Quicksilver‘s web search plugin also contains a coralize link, and which reads like “http://redirect.nyud.net:8080/?url=”. So a few test, I got one bookmarklet finally works in my Safari.app. If you want to try it, just drag the link below to your bookmarks bar.

Coralize

To my disappointment, the Coralize bookmarklet didn’t work in my safari.app. As I know nothing about Javascript so I must figure out an alternative way. By reading the coral.src file for the coralize search plugin, I found AcidSearch for Safari.app also can make this. The steps are simple:

1. Install AcidSearch
2. Then click the magnifying glass in the search bar of Safari.app and choose “AcidSearch Preferences”
3. Choose the “Search Channels” tab, and click “New Channel” button
4. Name the new channel as anything you like by editing the Title, I chose “Coralize”; and change the “Prefix URL” to “http://redirect.nyud.net:8080/”, as shown in figure below.

Now you can enjoy coralizing links. And you can make the “Coralize ” channel as the default channel of AcidSearch by choosing it in the “Options” tab of AcidSearch Preferences”.

Enjoy.

Below is a pic showing the “Coralize” channel in usage.

UPDATE: You can download my AcidSearch channel file to ease your setup.

实在是被不断出现的网页不能访问烦透了，终于装了 Tor。根据 lucifer 的配置改了 config 。Done.

近日有猛料指出，Safari 和 Mail.app 都被人挖出了安全漏洞。实在危险啊。

UPDATE: macosxhints 上的讨论。

I always get awed by Nature and I visit apod (Astronomy Picture Of the Day), Nat Geo pod (National Geographic Photo Of the Day), and espod (Earth Science Picture Of the Day) daily. But I’m tired of the daily mouse clicks to store those pictures on my Mac. Below are two Perl scripts to lessen the fingers. They should run smoothly on Mac OS X, except the script for Nat Geo pod requires addtional install of LWP through CPAN (I will give instructions to achieve this below).
