斜过来的中文一点都不好看。

正常的中文,没有斜体也没有粗体。但是这个在Advogato这里就不好看。可能是因为Advo用UTF8,反正我的浏览器里面,不好看。

我用的是Firefox浏览器,是在DebianGnome里面。我的<b>括住的中文,用的是黑体,而不是加粗的宋体。我的<i>用的是仿宋体,但是我没有办法让它正过来,不要向一边歪倒。

但是上面说的在Advo就行不通。也不是完全行不通。不过总之是有不对头的地方。另外我还需要一个好的繁体字库,这样就可以让Planet Debian HKPlanet Debian TW显示的比较漂亮了。我现在的繁体字库里面字不全。特别是我用的黑体和仿宋体,字差的比较多。宋体还好。

it seems i really hat hashes, i like avl trees from heart. ;) (or, avl trees. the former url which the author likes but seems can't work.)

$ alias man='MANWIDTH=69 /usr/bin/man'

downloading adobe reader 7.0 for linux. pdf is life. ;)

on the other hand, it's a pity DjVu didn't get widespread use. another example of a big fat company kill an excellent product. almost dead but not without hope.

it's a surprise to read chalst reply to my diary. hehe. i'm sorry i have a bad temper from time to time. and sye replied to my Live Journal once a little while ago. it's nice i can still make communications. ;) thank you guys.

i'm trying to ease my ill temper every day. i think my girl friend has helped a lot. hahaha. it's only bad to drive people like chalst and sye away from my net life (sorry. i don't like it to happen. ;) i hope i will do better and better.) but it would be end of life if i drive my gf away from daily life. ;)

beating the averages or below the averages? what a wicked question! ;)

SUN policy on blogging

I didn't know India was running a socialist economy before 1990s. Back when i was in middle school (that is early 1990s), my teachers used India as a bad example of capitalism economy in a developing country (compare to China's so called socialist economy of a developing country). Of course the real matters are far complex than I could appreciate.

HAPPY! HAPPY! NEW YEAR! JOY! JOY!

DON'T WORRY! BE HAPPY!

Ant Colony Optimization seems very interesting.

is that possible that scim-chinese does not depend on ttf-arphic-*

the dependency seems unnecessary to me or should i look deeper... ;)
