My Goodhour

我有个“坏”习惯：做每件事情之前，都先想尽办法让做事的过程尽可能的顺畅高效。这不，自从周末开始写 Blog 之后，我又忍不住开始琢磨怎么让 Blogging 更爽快了。我的需求是这样的：

一个支持 Markdown 的文本编辑器，因为 Tumblr 支持 Markdown 而且 Markdown确实很简洁；

编辑器要具备各种快捷键，方便输入 Markdown的各种 Syntax；

要有好的预览模式，所见即所得是个必要条件；

云端同步必不可少；

其他 流程简化的办法当然是多多益善。

People want to be what they are not

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 10:35:00 +0100

An interesting conversation in Sunday church meeting.

Dora, my 3 years old daughter, likes to play outside. As a consequence her skin gets dark. Our church leader John liked it and he said:

“I heard that in Asia, some people actually use some kind of cream that suppose to make them look paler. And they use it everyday!”

He might expect laughs from us. But…well, a couple of British did.

We did not get it. “I use it a lot.” said my wife.

“Why?”, surprisingly asked John, “It makes you look paler.”

So I explained the Chinese saying “White skin covers over a multitude of uglinesses”.

“Really?” was what we get as a response. “People want to be what they are not. We think bronze is prettier.”

Anyway, Dora’s dark skin shows her healthiness and we are fine with it.

My NAS Components

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 11:45:11 +0100

Instead of a typical NAS, this is actually a low-end PC. I want a very flexible system (a full Windows or Linux system would be the best) with low cost. Branded NAS boxes are either too weak or too expensive.

This build is without RAID. I don’t need redundant for data saved on it for one. Soft RAID is not good enough anyway for two. It is easy to add a RAID card if needed.

£104 Asus E35M1-M Pro
£21 Corsair CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 XMS3 Desktop Memory 4GB
£32 Cooler Master RC-370-KKN1 Elite 370 Midi Tower PC Case
£47 Be Quiet! Pure Power 350W PSU

Altogether around £200 without HDD. I have two external 3.5’ HDDs and plan to make use of them. They will be opened up and stuffed into the box in order to make a total 1.5TB capacity storage. But both of them are almost full so I am going to need another HDD very soon.

The components are on their ways. Will update when the box is up and running.

DVCS-Autosync: A personal Dropbox replacement based on Git | Rene Mayrhofer's virtual home:

dvcs-autosync is a project to create an open source replacement for Dropbox/Wuala/Box.net/etc. based on distributed version control systems (DVCS). It offers nearly instantaneous mutual updates when a file is added or changed on one side but with the added benefit of (local, distributed) versioning and that it does not rely on a centralized service provider, but can be used with any DVCS hosting option including a completely separate server - your data remains your own.
